I think you will be pleased with the results from this screen with your setup. I've been very impressed with mine. It works very well in low light and decent quality in medium light.

Absolutely true, but this applies to most small screen inexpensive TVs. That's why many viewers buy the low cost external AC powered speaker bars with low profile that sit in front of TVWith this the sound is great.RKB

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

Hi there, sorry late response. This projector is very good, for presentations as well. However it's not strong enough to work with daylight, just closing curtains is not enough, it has to be really dark. In the evenings it works perfectly, even with lights on!!! I mainly use it to watch movies in the evenings, perfect! Especially the big screen, love it!

I use the BenQ specifically for PC gaming. It works great. I'm very happy with the purchase. I have a 3 monitor setup with the BenQ in the middle and a couple cheaper monitors for the outside. I can definitely tell the different in quality.

The 710hd adds horizontal shift compared to the 705hd. I've only used it once, and while it worked to square up the picture I found it annoying for watching a movie in a darkened room. Although the image is squared with some loss of image quality, the light still is projected as a keystoned image. Might be OK for a business presentation, but don't count on using that feature in a home theater set up. Move up to a model that has an actual horizontal and vertical shift like the 8350.

As per some of the reviews and even one of the questions asked, yes. "Works great. Hooked up to my BenQ W1070 in about 5 minutes."

I've been quite pleased with mine. I generally keep the gain pretty low, especially when listening to music because it tends to rattle things in our kitchen cabinets. It doesn't hit like my old Cerwin Vega 15s. But it's much more well rounded for multipurpose home theatre, and takes up a lot less space.

I use use this TV in a dark room for viewing both 2D and 3D movies, and with the room dimly lit for gaming and watching TV. I spent some time early on calibrating it using the Disney WoW blu ray, and it performs excellently in all conditions.

Those settings are definitely for a dark room or movie viewing experience. Keep in mind these are baseline settings and will vary from set to set and also on the room your tv is located in. For best results maybe check out the DVE digital video essentials calibration disk which I think is 20 bucks or so here on amazon. Maybe not quite as good as a professional calibration but darn close especially for us normal viewers.

It is going to depend on your room lighting conditions. There is a picture wizard that you can run through and it will help you adjust for the lighting you have. I have done that at night to achieve a good setting for movie watching. But mostly I use the default settings, standard or game.

What are you using it for? I love my HD66, had for almost 2 years. I have no 3-D adapter (wife get's sick) so for Blue ray movies (Awesome), PS3, Wii all connected through HDMI perfect for me. Works with light leaks in my living room on sunny days. I have also taken outside for "drive in" movie night;) I did lots of reviews and worth the money.

I bought a 50" 8UK Pannasonic tv a few years back. It had the same problem. So I exchanged it for another one. It also buzzed, but less so, so I kept it. Today, 3(?) years later, it still buzzes - especially on white or bright scenes. I'm seriously considering one of the 42" Panasonic plasmas for my bedroom, but am leaning to an LCD because I really don't want any buzzing/background noise in that smaller room.

what i've understood is, the benq w1070 use dlp link which these glasses support. All u need then, in otherwords is the dlp link tv/projectors, these glasses, 3d bluray player, 3d blueray disc, and hdmi fast enough for 3d support. fyi, the lens on the glasses are dark grey/greenish tint(standard 3d glasses color) and not clear as per the picture in the advertisment. other than that, glasses works as intended. (just doesn't fit over prescription glasses too well.)

I have a benq w1080p (same but short throw version) as long as you have your 3D content (I use my laptop but a 3D blu ray player would also work) connected with an HDMI cable it will work. The projector sends the signal to the glasses based on what is coming in through the HDMI cable.

That will work as mine is about the same distance from wall. Creates a nice pleasant glow & it make's it easier on your eyes to watch HDTV in the dark, in fact I just leave it on 24/7 for it's ambient effects.
