One of the latest home theater projectors to come from BenQ is the W600. This model features 2600 ANSI lumens, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, and HD (1280 x 720) resolution. Recently, a writer from Trusted Reviews got to review this projector. The writer compared the projector to another BenQ model that he reviewed earlier, the W1000. This model only features 2000 ANSI lumens, but has a better HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and the same 3000:1 contrast ratio. Both projectors also share the same appealing connection panel that includes dual HDMI ports, a composite, mini USB, component, s-video, and RGB. One thing that the writers were put off on was the lack of screen adjustment features. Usually budget projectors try to be flexible and offer features like vertical and horizontal lens shift, keystone adjustment, and several others. The W600 doesn’t have any of these features. However, the writer did find out that for what the projector lacked, it made up for in other features like picture quality settings, the writers were able to tinker with the image, which is something they normally don’t get to do with budget projectors. The major problem that the writers faced was the DLP rainbow effect. This effect happens when the colors start to separate and display what looks like a rainbow. While some people can’t see the effects, many people are sensitive enough to see them. The final verdict that the writer made was, ‘When it’s at its best, the W600’s pictures, while low on subtlety, can actually look quite spectacular. The Favela level on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the daytime battle sequences of the Braveheart Blu-ray, the daytime scenes in the Bahamas in Casino Royale, any number of bright, animated scenes… All these and more look really eye-catching, and as such are much more satisfying than you’ve any right to expect for £500. However, there’s a price to pay for these good bits. For anything containing a mix of bright and dark material invariably falls prey to the rainbow effect, sometimes to an extent that really distracts from what you’re watching. And I’m saying this as a person who’s by no means as prone to seeing the rainbow effect as some other people I’ve known over the years.’
