How does this compare to BenQ W1070 1080P 3D Home Theater Projector? Everyone is telling me that is by far the best at the 1k pricepoint?

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.

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

The gain is 1.1 and as far as the question of the Epson LCD projector, I use mine with Epson 730 HD and the results were pretty impressive. I own the 100 , 120 and the 144 models of these screens

Hello Gary; Sorry I can't help you with the comparison between the HD33 and the Epson 5030UB. I have a Optoma GT700 3D and purchased the Epson 5030UB in December. It has great color, clarity and brightness. I use my as a portable for playing mainly blurays. One nice feature is the zoom. Once I get the picture within the area of the screen I can use the zoom to square it in to the frame. The reviews I read convinced me to wait until this projector was available. Hope this helps.

I ended up buying the benq but I also ordered the pro grey screen. I did send it back and ordered the white screen. The reason I did this is because I felt the grey screen dimmed down the image. If you had a really bright projector then it might work well but I have been really pleased with the white screen.

Yes it's worth the upgrade! 10 times higher contrast ratio. With a projector, that is everything.

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 just set this up w/ a 110" screen @ a throw distance of 10.5 ft. Some pixellation is noticeable at 720p but very minor. It really depends on your source. 1080p looks amazing. The projector is a light cannon and picture is amazing. You won't regret it.

Yep-- the 2D is awesome! We love this projector! Be sure to get a HD screen too- we found a great one- 120 inches for under $200

Your blacks are only as good as the lack of ambient light in the room, and that holds true for any projector regardless of whether it's 60 lumens or 6000 lumens. The 3M is really a $200 projector, the Roku stick makes up the other $100. If you draw the shades during your office presentation and hit a normal projection screen then this little projector does a respectable job. If you're in a normally lit room and not hitting the screen with any direct light you can hit your screen with 40 or 50" image that's also quite respectable. If you're in a darkened room then it looks quite good even out to 6 feet. It runs equally bright on battery power or when it's plugged in and there is a power saver mode that reduced the brightness by about 25% to increase battery life. The batteries will easily take you through a 1.5 to 2 hour presentation in full on mode and probably 3 or 4 hours in power saver mode. There is also a function that turns just the bulb off and on instantly so you don't have to go through a boot up sequence (especially handy if you use the Roku stick) I have used for 5 different presentations myself, and my little 3M projector is currently in China being used for several presentations to show high quality stock footage. I also use it when I travel so I can watch Amazon or Netflix or Hulu Plus in my hotel room on a 5 or 6 foot projection Obviously a white wall is best but it's not too shabby on an off white wall if the room is dark. Bottom line, it's a nice little projector, very portable, very high quality product and nice image quality at 720p. Based on my personal experience with this projector I would recommend it for home entertainment and for smaller office presentations.

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

Sorry Andre, projectors are a separate and NOT inexpensive purchase. We went to Best Buy and got one that was being discontinued for a reasonable price

I own a BenQ 3d projector. The BenQ glasses work very well. I also purchased some cheaper off brand 3d glasses as a 2nd pair. They do notwork nearly as well as the BenQ glasses.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I have used this console to play with my PS3. I have nothing negative to say about this projector. Just so you know, it will not display in 1080p, the best resolution you will get is 720p. It supports 1080p but the screen will scale the image to 720p. Still pretty good definition IMO.Hope it helps.

No, it's not a high-def projector, (not sure precisely what it is) that being said, HD images through it do still look darn good, and considering the cost of actual HD projectors, this is a pretty good deal, one thing I should mention, make sure your source is on before the projector, i.e. - Amp/DVD-Blu-ray and projector last (said it did not support my Blu-ray player) shut everything off and turned projector on last, bingo! Worked great!

No. You get what you pay for. Look into the Aser H5360 - this is the best projector for the money and can be used for many purposes. I've used it for presentations, and watched 3D movies at home on it (3D requires Optima 3DXL converter.)

I'll be curious to learn more about what Samsung is calling "Precision Dimming" on the c8000 (but not on the c7000 or c9000). It could be they've come up with a unique technology to do local dimming in a thinner set, or it could be a gimmick to try to cover up that they've abandoned a better technology to achieve thinner sets. But to me the decider is how much you want 3D. Personally I wouldn't want to spend 3 grand on a TV and not have it include the latest future technology. Is 3D all it's going to be? No, certainly not yet. But is there anybody who bought an expensive large monitor right before HD came around happy? Or somebody who bought 720p just before 1080p came around? Unless you're in a position to comfortably buy another $3000 Tv in two or three years, I'd want to go with 3D now that it's an option.
