BenQ Launches 2000 Lumen 3D Projector

BenQ today introduced the cobenq-w700-0112mpany’s first full-HD 3D home cinema projector, the W7000. Powered by DLP Link, the W7000 delivers 1080p 3D images with specified 2000 ANSI lumen brightness and a 50,000:1 contrast ratio. Integrated with HDMI 1.4a using TI’s BrilliantColor DLP system, the W7000 features VIDI lighting technology that the company says increases brightness by 15 percent for red and blue.

For flexible placement in the home, the W7000 offers a 1.5:1 zoom range and 1.62 to 2.43 throw ratio. The projector’s H+V lens shift technology provides up to 125 percent vertical and 40 percent horizontal lens shift adjustment with zero vertical offset. This allows the focal point of the lens to be adjusted in home theaters where center placement isn’t possible. Also, Panamorph lens compatibility allows viewers to show 2.35:1 aspect-format video in its original widescreen format at maximum resolution with no image scaling or letterboxing.

The W7000 will be available later in Q1 2012 with a list price of $3,999. You can see all the details here.
