BenQ W770ST Pro Reviews

The BenQ W770ST is an inexpensive living room projector with solid image quality that's perfect for gaming or portable use. A short-throw lens keeps the projector out of the way, giving you more room space to work with, while a 10W onboard speaker can provide sound output when there are no other options. Compression of 1080p sources is clean and crisp, and there's not much detail loss. Full HDMI 3D compatibility makes the W770ST an affordable option for entry-level 3D movies and gaming, especially since the projector uses inexpensive DLP Link glasses. On the downside, the W770ST's BrilliantColor increases white light output without also boosting color light output, and at its default settings color can appear dull and undersaturated as a result. Reducing BrilliantColor solves this problem but also cuts lumen output by more than half. And since the W770ST is native 720p, pixelation can be seen when sitting too close or using a too-large image. Overall, the BenQ W770ST is an inexpensive purpose-built video projector that offers solid image quality without the usual video projector price tag. If you need a living room projector and have a tight budget, this may be the one you're looking for.
