The Big Game Just Became More Affordable with BenQ

BenQ, one of the world leaders in home projection technology has today set a new standard for viewing sports at home with the affordable W1090 projector.

The W1090 features a new 'Sport Mode' which takes the thrill of watching the big game from the sports bar and into your own home.

With 100" of 1080p high-definition picture making every detail more life-like and realistic, bringing this realism home is easy thanks to the W1090’s simple installation and short-throw projection capability with 100" at just 2.5 meters, 1.3x zoom, and MHL connectivity.

The W1090 fields an impressive list of features, led by a powerful pair of Sports Modes to improve both video and audio performance. Sport Picture Mode blends digital picture enhancements with stunning colour reproduction that BenQ says puts viewers inside the action. Colours are said to be more lively and lifelike, while image details are crisper and clearer right down to the blades of grass under the player’s feet.

The projector’s turbo-charged RGBRGB colour wheel boasts 6X speed and BrilliantColor Technology to take colour depth to the limit for incomparable brilliance and clarity.  The W1090 also has a built-in 10-watt speaker housed in a resonant sound chamber and boosted by BenQ’s own Audio Enhancer, powered by MaxxAudio.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
