The W2000 ticks a lot of boxes for home cinema fans with its connectivity, unusually refined picture quality and genuinely effective out of the box Rec. 709 preset.

A heavy hitter from BenQ, especially given the going retail price for the unit. With support for the Rec.709 HDTV standard, you'll be hard pushed to find a better projector at this price...

Its living room rather than board room credentials are clear as soon as you look at it. Yes, it's slightly larger than many projectors in its price bracket, but it's more attractively shaped than most business models and even features a bit of bling in...

Overall, the BenQ W2000 packs a real punch for its price, with a natural colour palette and wholly immersive picture that will be a treat for those wanting the big cinema experience on a budget.We'd like black levels and shadow detail to be a touch...

This is not a high performance home cinema projector and it doesn't pretend to be. It is marketed as a home entertainment machine for use with large screen sports, gaming and movies. It is also aimed at users who will have light coloured ceilings and...

By TechRadar on December 15, 2015 90

A modicum of DLP rainbow effect, some so-so black levels and a hint of film judder can't prevent the W2000 from offering one of the loveliest, most involving Blu-ray performances so far from an affordable quickdraw DLP projector.

The BenQ W2000 like the lower specification W1110 offers a lot of performance and features for the price.The power consumption is just 210 Watts (we tested) in Eco mode which should give a massive lamp life of 6000 hours without effecting your viewing...

Be it movies, work, or even gaming, this projector can be a good choice. If the price won't deter you from its excellent visual quality, then this is definitely worth considering.(previously published in issue...

We've seen a fair number of entry-level DLP projectors here at Tested Technology with street prices between £400 and £1000, and so far there hasn't been a bad one among them. The core technology belongs to Texas Instruments, and in the nearly twenty...

By avhub.com.au on December 10, 2015

With the W2000, BenQ has produced a high value-for-money home theatre projector that provides very strong picture quality and a 3D picture which we doubt could be surpassed.BenQ W2000 AV projectorPrice: $2499 (including two pairs of 3D glasseS)+...

International Review By Hifitest.de on May 01, 2016 80

Das heißt nichts anderes, als dass Sie die Entscheidung Ihrer Lebens- gefährtin beruhigt unterstützen können. Sie erhalten mit dem W2000  einen heimkinotauglichen Beamer par excellence, der viel leistet und  dabei wenig kostet. Bei uns stellt er den...

International Review By Chip.de on April 18, 2016 86

Der Heimkino-Beamer BenQ W2000 überzeugt im Test mit einer guten Bildqualität. Hinzu kommen ein angemessener Stromverbrauch und ein erfreulich leiser Lüfter. Lediglich der für DLP-Projektoren typische Regenbogeneffekt fällt vergleichsweise deutlich...

International Review By AudioVision on March 29, 2016 80

In den Disziplinen Farbenpracht, Schärfe, Bild­homogenität und beim Im-Bild-Kontrast erreicht der Benq W 2000 Topwerte. Lediglich bei der Bewegungsschärfe ist noch Luft nach oben. Dank der guten Praxis­tauglichkeit hat er sich ein „Highlight“ und einen...
