Has anyone compared this to benq 1080st

I studied that one as an option as well and it was well reviewed but the Epson is LCD and also does 3D. Also the Epson is the leading brand in the category so I went with it.

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.

Wrong. It looks great at any distance and the improvement over 1080p is obvious at 10'. I have one and I know this. I recommend you go to Best Buy and see for yourself. There has been a lot of nonsense about people can't see the difference at more than (pick your number) feet. Simply not true.

I chose this model because of the 1080p resolution performance and the performance gains from Mantel. Knowing what the maximum resolution of your monitor is a good place to start. Then I started watching YouTube reviews comparing GPU's in that resolution.

thats the reason i purchased this monitor,it is only 60hz but it works as well for gaming as my asus monitor at 144hz refresh rate, I think the picture quality is better with the benq cad monitor, most games dont run any faster than 60hz

Hands down buy the GW2760HS. The GL2760H is a TN panel which makes the gamma shift from top to bottom. I like the GW2760HS more than even IPS monitors because the contrast ratio is 3x higher than most other displays. You will get better blacks than most other monitors. The motion clarity isn't bad with this monitor either. If your gaming I advise you use the the premium AMA option. There will be some overshoot with certain color transitions but the benefit of the motion clarity out ways this in my opinion.

First off, the Epson uses 3 LCD, the BenQ uses DLP. I have heard people who are able to see the "rainbow effect" which DLP technology is inherit to. However, if most of the reviews say they do not notice this, then that is a null point. A plus for the BenQ is that it has a 12V DC out, used to trigger an automatic screen. This is an oversight on Epson's part, IMO. Epson uses an built-in RF generator to sync the 3D glasses. The BenQ should, but I did not see it advertised and I suggest confirmation before purchasing. I would not let the higher contrast ratio be much of a selling point, the Epson's blacks are very, very good. Lamp life and lamp cost would be a major determining factor to me. Epson's lamps are right around $100, some can be found cheaper, but they have mixed reviews. I do like BenQ's lamp modes when no input is detected, a minor plus. If the BenQ is extra quiet, that would be another plus in my book. The Epson is louder than expected, and in normal lamp mode, too loud for my installation directly above the viewing area. I believe you will be very happy with either of them, enjoy the big screen! BTW, 3D glasses can be found on Amazon for &lt;$30 which work perfectly fine, and are rechargeable!

I have a BenQ 1070 and my room has a lot of ambient light. The screen helps during the daytime but really comes to life at night. I am happy with my purchase. If you sit fairly close to the screen you will notice a sparkling effect from the screen due to the finish, but was not a deal breaker for me.

I bought the 50" Samsung Plasma 3d and have never been happier. Don't believe the hype with LED tech... I do not think it is worth it. The 720p plasma looks better than the 1080p LCD. Turns out most signals are 720p. Also the burn-in has been fixed so if you watch ESPN and the ticker at the bottom is ghosting when you change the channel it goes away soon. Ummm... I also know that with the LCD you have to pay a ton to get a refresh rate that is any good. I paid $900 at Sears for my 50" 3d with a refresh rate of 600 Hz with 2 pairs of glasses. Once again... pull the trigger on the plasma. I bought the 50" Samsung Plasma 3d and have never been happier. Don't believe the hype with LED tech... I do not think it is worth it.

i have a Sony 32" that's 1080P. you do have to spend a bunch tho and unless you sit fairly close like me (7-8 ft) you probably won't see any difference between 720 and 1080. your money would probably be better spent getting a set with a high contrast ratio

On a smaller screen, 720 is as good as 1080 -- hard to tell the difference. I think when you go over 40", you would be better served by 1080.

BTW...yesterday I was in BB and Sony has just released a 32" XBR9 1080p with 120hz Motionflow technology... and it is up on the Sony Style website.. so much for what the salesman tell you that Sony is not going to produce..But compared to the Sony 32" 1080p 60 hz.. I thought the higher priced model with 120hz looked grainy to me. I really didn't see the $200 difference in the (retail price). Perhaps on Blu Ray disc viewing there is a difference.. GLTA

Hey T. McAnaney,Yes, when I compared specs, I too looked and said, why should I pay more for an item that has the same specs? What is so different about this new model. I even went to web sites that had incorrect information on the specs of the TH-42PX600U, and the TH-42PX75U had the specs of the TH-42PX600U. So I ended up buying the TH-42PX600U. Even from what I heard that the 75U is supposed to have 1080p, versus the 1080i, I did not believe it would be worth the additional cost.

I don't know anything about the BenQ, but the optima HD 33 is an awesome product .

I had the exact same monitors I was debating between xD lol the RL is specially designed for consoles and has 2 HDMI ports. Whereas the GL was designed moreso for PC's and only has 1 HDMI port. The only thing honestly holding me back was the HDMI thing. But I would honestly suggest getting the GL because it's $40 cheaper (at least when I bought it), the bezils are thinner, and it overall just looks a lot cleaner. The 1ms difference isn't even noticible honestly, and you save yourself $40 to sacrifice an HDMI port. In all honesty I'm going to get 2 more of these later down the line. They work FLAWLESSLY on the Xbox One and 360 and you don't truly realize how much input lag you had until it's gone lol

i have not had any issues with mine for the focus at 100"- 120" on my textured wall or on a screen. i use it daily for tv and 720p hd movies just make sure you set it to 720p for best results it will upscale to 1080p and looks great i have mine hooked to my pc and if its set at 720p the text is crisp 1080p is a little off but for blue ray and other sources its not noticeable. color is vivid 3d is amazing even the 2d to 3d is a wow factor i use that feature for games. overall i am glad i bought this i have it mounted above my bed fills the entire wall i play games with wii (wireless sensor) and ps3 takes it to a whole new level. worth every penny. better than my vizio 42" 3d smart tv. there is no netflix or streaming features but apc, ps3, xbox or smart blu ray will take care of that. i hope this answers any questions and more anyone has

Well, I only have the 32 inch model (bought it a few weeks ago) and have to say I really like it. I only use it for TV watching so not sure how it would look with high-end games. Have to say that I watched "Avatar" the other day and it looked crisp, vibrant, sharp on the 32-incher.

8350 is much better - but I'd save your money and get the 5030ub - the ultra back makes the picture pop and I swapped my 8350 for the 5030ub and made the viewing experience 100% better. Spend a little extra - you get what you pay for.
