Of course, the two projectors have a lot in common as well. Both are built around DLP engines with a native 1,920 by 1,080 resolution, both offer full 1080p 3D support, and both are definitively home entertainment projectors, meant for a living room or family room, rather than home theater projectors, like the 2D Editors' Choice Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350, which are meant for theater dark lighting.
Basics and SetupLike the W1070, the W1080ST is small and light for a 1080p 3D projector, at 6.2 pounds and 4.1 by 12.3 by 9.6 inches (HWD). That makes it easy to store away when you're not using it, if you choose not to permanently install it, and also easy to move from room to room or bring to a friend's house.
benq w1080st 1080p 3d projector
BenQ isn't holding any keynotes, but the company does have a presence here at CES. In fact it rolled out a pair of 1080p 3D projectors today for the home theater enthusiast. The W1070 and W1080ST are the latest in the company's consumer line, and they're powered by DLP's Dark Chip 3 which is usually found in high-end models. But at $1,099 and $1,299, respectively, the W1070 and W1080ST certainly aren't priced for the high end. The 1080 can project images up to 100 inches wide from as little as six feet away. It's even ready for proper color calibration right out of the box. Both machines are also compatible with NVIDIA's 3D Play and DLP Link, plus they're sporting dual HDMI ports. Both are available now.

LAS VEGAS - 2013 International CES - Jan. 7, 2013 - BenQ America Corp. today strengthened its leadership position in the home entertainment space with the introduction of its price-defying W1070 and W1080ST projectors. At $1,099, the W1070 provides full HD 1080p 3D projection using the high-end DLP Dark Chip 3 (DC3) typically reserved for higher-priced models. The W1080ST - a short-throw full HD1080p 3D home projector at only $1,299 - brings big screen entertainment to any home theater regardless of space configuration.
Made for consumers without large rooms or large budgets, the W1080ST further simplifies installation and setup by providing tremendous flexibility in projector placement. The W1080ST delivers an image more than 100 inches wide at less than six feet away from the screen, becoming the world's only home theater projector to deliver full HD 1080p quality and 3D so close to the screen. To safeguard close-range installations, the W1080ST features an "Auto Blank" mode that blocks light output when objects are detected in front of the lens. Especially useful for coffee-table setups and other short-throw scenarios, the mode avoids flashing light directly in users' eyes when crossing the projection.
An Ultra Short Throw Projector can be as close as 14 inches to the screen
Most Short Throw Projectors are located about 3 feet from the screen, instead of the 7.5 feet that would be needed by a regular projector
Short distance between projector and screen makes it much less likely that people will walk between the screen and the projector
Short distance very useful in preventing light-blindness in anyone giving a presentation
Get a clear picture at a short distance
Educators appreciate having the projector under their control and not at the back of the room where students can "play"

2. BenQ Gaming Video Projector HT2150ST - $999
If you are looking for a mid-range projector with a 1080p resolution, you are in the right place. The BenQ W1070 review will give you information about a 3D-ready Full HD DLP projector that suits perfectly for 3D games and home theater setup.
A BenQ 1080p short throw projector uses special lenses that pre-warp the projected image, lowering the throw ratio, or the distance from projector compared to the width of the screen. For example, a regular projector with a throw ratio of 1.5:1 might have to be 12 feet away to fill an 8-foot screen. A model like the BenQ HT2150ST, with a throw ratio of about 0.7:1 would only need to be about 5.5 feet away to fill the same screen. 2ff7e9595c
