The W500 a projector used for home entertainment. It allows the viewer to watch videos of both digital and analog formats using its several options for connection interface.
Features
The BenQ W500 uses a lens design that is blue printed from the irises of the human eye. It automatically adjusts the aperture based on the video signal it detects. For dark scenes, the aperture decreases its size to prevent light from destroying the darkness. For bright scenes, the aperture increases to accommodate the light it needs to enhance details. This projector also converts the content on SD from analog television broadcasts to a high definition video. It uses 1024 pixels for its pictures. It also applies the MDDF technology, which is a Multi Dimensional Diagonal Filtering system for smoother viewing. Each color signal is handled individually, with varying brightness input and color distortions. The dimensions of this printer are 13.7 inches by 10.9 inches by 4.7 inches, with a weight of 12.8 pounds.

Filmic Other projectors make a better fist of the filmic side of things, but this little LCD cracker has some advantages. It's highly portable and easy to setup - good news for those not planning a permanent installation. It also delivers great image quality for the money. Read more

Fantastic image. Replaced my old Epson projector with the Benq w500. The image is outstanding with deep blacks. SD TV is where this projector really shines. Watching SD sat the image look almost as good as HD(thanks to HQV). The low cost $949.00 and only $250.00 for replacement lamp that is rated to 3000 hrs on low mode at a cost of about 8 cents per hour. Run to your nearest Benq dealer and get one if you can find any in stock. The projector is very easy to install. ... Read more

I received this projector and had it installed in less than an hour. The most difficult part of installation was getting the ceiling mount on the projector and on the ceiling!

Excellent Projector
Reviewer: N/A, newegg.com04 July 2007- Overall 10
This is definitely one of the better projectors I have seen. I have owned and Sp4805,In72,HD70,Hd1000u and seen The Epson 400 and a couple of others perform and while I would say the W500 out performs the others mainly because of the HQV processing which at this price point I never expected to see.
