Will this work well with a BenQ W1070 in a room with very low ambient light during movies &amp; med light watching TV?Or shld I be looking for lower gain?

The material you choose depends on what you plan on using it for. This material costs more than the Flexiwhite and is a fairly stiff material (i.e. you don't stretch it and therefore more difficult to work with if you want to mount it somewhere). In terms of gain, it is only marginally better than Flexiwhite and, if this is damaged during shipping or use, there is no way to repair it. If I had my installation to do over again, I would have gone with the Flexiwhite. This material is really geared for professional installations. Projector setups work best with very low ambient light. The BenQ W1070 is a very nice projector - I'm using it in my setup with the ProWhite - but it still performs the best in a very dark room.

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.

wow! that's great to know! Thanks nguyen!anything less than 150 watts or so is great (at least till we get to OLED)

I would say this one work best in a darker room, it's not bad in a lighted room but to get a more crisp picture the best lighting would be a low amount

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

We've had the ld350 for a couple weeks and it does the same thing. It makes an annoying buzz when we turn the backlight down lower than 75-80. Other than that we are liking the tv and hate the thought of having to return it, but this is very irritating with the sound low at night in the bedroom. Also, afraid it may get worse.

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

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.

Should work perfectly. I use this in my home cinema which would not be the size of a pub venue but I have used it externally and put it on a 130 inch display. Same results as my normal 92 inch display. The only issue you may encounter is if the room is too bright - the image is good but you may want to go with the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020 2D and 3D 1080p Home Theater Projector. It is a lot more expensive option but the image is going to be a lot better in brighter environments like a pub. (As amazon.com as a money back guarantee, maybe try the cheaper projector first to see if it works in your environment)

Just to also confirm, I have these and a w1070 and they work great. Actually they work better than the True Depth glasses because it seems to know to block the correct eye, with the True Depth ones I have to press the button a second time to block the proper eye (otherwise the 3D is backwards). These also cover more of the eye so they are my preferred glasses (so far) for the BenQ w1070.

Awesome, thanks. So I guess running my PC into the TV first then just using the universal optical out from the TV to the soundbar would be optimal anyway.

Yes. they work with my BenQ W1070 perfectly.Like all 3d Glasses.. you will lose some screen bright while wearing them but I have really enjoyed them with several 3d movies. Worth to buy!

It has plenty of lumens and works fine on semi-dark environments too, obviously it won't work in a very bright environment. The only thing I didn't liked about it is that if you connect via HDMI all the audio will go to the projector speaker (and is not loud enough), it could be better if it had an audio output port.

I haven't seen the BenQ W1070, but from what I've heard they sound similar in many ways, each with their pros and cons. I should add her that I just bought a BenQ 7000. If you have the cash I would highly recommend going that route. If not then I'm sure you'll be very happy with the HD33. I have been.

So far I've been able to only get it to work within a room from one side to the other. I set up a test system between 2 rooms, and I got audio, but the video signal was not strong enough for the TV (LG) set to pick up. It works fine for my application, but what I need it for is pretty limited. Hope this helps.

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

Benq W1080ST is also 3D capable , and it is DLP , so you'll get completely crosttalk and ghost 3D viewing. Another strength of DLP is deepest black , and more filmlike picture , no visible screen-door effect and better uniformity. My 1st projector was Epson 3LCD 705HD and Ill never go back with this technology at this price range (up to 1K) This Epson have awful contrast/black levels , and watching dark scenes is miserable.Despite its noisy autoiris , who doesn't help to boost the contrast , but only dims the lamp and dark scenes, leaving shadow details unexposed. Go with DLP, you won't regret. Don't worry , you won't see any rainbow effect, the color wheel is spinning faster than before.
