My whole life I've dreamed of having a projector, but given the size of my house, and the realities of the world, it's just never been in the cards. I just didn't have enough room in the house to allow for a proper throw distance with an image appreciably...

There's plenty to like about the BenQ W1080ST. Its bright, sharp picture is exciting to watch, and the colours are certainly eye-catching (if sometimes a little too vivid).It faces tough competition from the Epson EH-TW5910, though, which only costs a han...

The W1080ST has all the same advantages as the W1070 (faithful colours, high contrast, flawless 3D...) and adds a short-throw lens that allows it to project an over two-metre-wide image from just 1.5 metres away. In other words, another home run from BenQ...

BenQ's no stranger to making projectors, as we came away impressed with its compact and similarly shortthrow GP10, but it was limited in resolution and speed. The W1080ST takes the short range of its smaller sibling, but you're treated to a full 1080p res...
While the W1080ST excels at its main priority, BenQ has also stuffed in a 10W speaker to try and offer you the compete cinema package. The speaker is simply terrible, though, giving hardly any clarity and tinny sound that is best avoided. The projector do...
