SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEWS –
1) Hands down the best projector I've ever seen ! - Fantastic! We have a w1070 projector at work, and I'm glad I waited for this one. The 1070 is great, but there are a few improved features that are worth the extra $100. The remote is laid out better and the menus are better, although I use the "Advanced" menu to get more picture control. The ability to adjust all sides of the Keystone is fantastic. It was much easier to install on the ceiling a little to the side of the screen without having to move my wife's chandelier! I use this projector in my living room with a 150" max white 1.1 gain screen, and we are only sitting 12' away. The picture is incredible. I can't believe how crisp and clear it is. Blu-rays and HDTV look like I am in a movie theater, and we have the same image size from only 12' away. This projector also upconverts DVDs better than any TV I've ever owned. I am a huge videophile and I need a great picture to enjoy things, so I was skeptical when I saw some of the professional reviews complain about black levels and contrast. These reviewers must be morons that never adjust a picture and just use the standard settings in the projector! Here's what I did to get a fantastic picture, in case you want to try it for yourself and compare.
For night-time viewing with low lighting, go to "User 1" It will be the same as the "Standard" setting. Change the Color Temp button to "Lamp Native", and turn the Contrast up to 52. Voila! You will have a picture with incredible color depth and contrast. Great black levels, and no oversaturation. It rivals any movie theater (without the annoyance of people talking, and using their cell phones all around you distracting you from the movie!)
For day-time viewing, we have bay windows that let in a lot of light. I started with "User 2" ( originally the same as "Standard" setting) I increased the Contrast to 65 and switched the Color Temp button to "Warm". This setting gives us a great picture that is not washed out by a lot of ambient lighting. Now let's talk about 3D.
I saw a lot of great reviews on the 3D performance on the HT 1075, but I was still unprepared for what I got. This is the best 3D I've ever seen! It's better than my Mitsubishi 82" TV, and it's better than the movie theater. I am using it with Ultimate 3D Heaven, Ultra Clear HD DLP glasses (only about $25 each) and the picture is crisp and clear, and for the first time, I don't get any headaches watching 3D! The projector never loses sync with the glasses from anywhere in the room. As with any TV, the 3D image loses brightness and color due to splitting the image in two, so here are the adjustments I made: Before playing your 3D Blu-ray, start on your new "User 2" setting. Then start the Blu-ray. Once the 3D is playing adjust your settings. Take the Contrast to 55, and hit the "Fine Tune" button. This brings up the "Color Temperature Fine Tuning" screen. Take the Red Gain and the Green Gain up to 115, and the Blue Gain up to 105. Now the 3D will be as bright and colorful as it is in any movie theater. One of the BEST features of this projector is that it will REMEMBER these settings when 3D movies are on, but when you return to a regular movie, it will automatically revert to your normal viewing settings, so you get a third user setting that switches automatically with 3D content!
Lastly, I hate judder and rainbow effects, and I haven't seen any in the HT 1075! The only judder you will see is what is in the original source. If the content was filmed poorly or the network is using older cameras, there may be something that they create that is unavoidable, but if it's filmed properly, you won't see any. I have watched fast moving things like "Avatar", "Transformers - Age of Extinction", and the Pod Race from "Star Wars I". Wow are they incredible! I had forgotten how great a lot of my movies were in the theater. You lose a lot of the cinematography on smaller TV sets. With a 150" screen and this BenQ projector, I have fallen in love with movies all over again - and guys, my Girls love it too! There is no bulky TV set taking up space in the room. We have a clean wall that my wife and daughter love. They hated the 82" TV, but they love the 150" theater we now have at home...and the best is the price. I sold my old TV for more than it cost to buy this projector and screen! You can't go wrong with this. Thank you BenQ!

2) Size of Your TV Doesn't Matter--This Projector Will Beat Them All - I've had TVs all my life. As the years progress better technology replaces fading 'new' technology. When you keep up with the changing pace and buy the newest product you think that it is as close to the best there is to offer. With TVs it was always about getting bigger and getting smaller at the same time--bigger screen, less bulky. Yet we forgot that we were still watching our movies, sports, and tv shows through the restrictions of a black bezel (or silver...if your TV was progressive). TVs were simply a restricted window into whatever choice we picked for entertainment. A projector, simply, expands and whelms you with an almost lifelike viewing environment. If you wanted a movie theater in your own home, a projector was doing its best to get it there. The problem with projectors, however, among other things, is price-for-quality. The bigger screen you want, the better the projector will have to be for it to maintain its clarity.
That's where this BenQ HT1075 comes in because it is the best picture I have seen on a projector--and beats my current 55" LED TV in HD clarity quality. Regardless of what level of TV you have--4k, 8k, over 9000k, 1080p...whatever, at a distance the quality fades quickly--whether it be a 5,000$ TV or a 500$. The current size of TVs that is within the normal consumer's budget is around 60". With the latter TV, if you are watching it around 15' (4.5m) away, you could not really tell a difference between a 1080p or 720p TV--the quality has blurred together. Moreover, you really don't notice 1080p quality until you're about 6-7' feet away from the TV. That is....too close. With this particular projector, I easily put up a 100" screen (1080p). You can be up to 15' away with the latter and still recognize and appreciate what 1080p can give you. This is one of the key differences between owning a TV and a projector. If you really want to watch movies, or TV, you need a projector. Period.
My lauding of the HT 1075 does not come from my supporting of projectors in general. Conversely, I knew the potential of a projector however I would never keep them a long time because they did not perform how it should--offering wall covering pictures in HD quality. I could not have confidently told you to purchase a projector to replace your TV if I had not used this BenQ HT1075. After using the latter for several hours and several movies, I now can tell you to.
[---Quality---]
9/10
Blacks - 7/10
Colors - 8/10
My uses for the projector are simple: watch movies and TV shows. Just when you think you get in a routine of your 'watching' environment--i.e. get a big HD TV and pop in a blu-ray/DVD, this projector will give you an entirely new experience.
I stood the projector on a high stand (around 5' tall) because I did not have a ceiling mount. The picture I threw on my wall was 95" diagonal. Watching it from a normal distance of about 9', it was as HD as anything I have seen on a TV that was 1080p or below. It was exactly like going to a theater that shows Digital HD movies. The fact that the picture was done so well, it made me want to rewatch many movies that I had not watched in years.
- Blu-ray movies were very clear and cinema-like. Black/darks were slightly washed out and not close to plasma blacks, however they were very good. Colors were organic and not too bright. Contrast was above average.
- DVDs were as vivid as they could be although they were slightly blurry compared to the blu-ray when blown up to large measures.
[---The Lamp---]
Unfortunately, the brightness of this projector means that the lamp life is estimated fairly low---2,000 hours. The warranty for this projector is 1 year or 2,000 hours (the projector keeps this data stored at all times). Replacement bulbs are around 150$-200$. Roughly speaking, on the low end of the estimate, you will watch 1,000 movies before you will start to consider buying another lamp. This is the trade-off you have, however, for purchasing current projector technology. When laser projectors begin to be more populated, this will change.
[---Sound---]
I am not sure if this is a differing factor among all projectors. If the AC (audio converters) are different then there would be the possibility that not all audio sounds similar. The sound from the projector was routed to, interesting enough, my iPod speaker dock via a 3.5mm audio jack (I know, I know analog...). As much as the latter sounds the same as watching a blu-ray movie through a CRT monitor, it surprisingly sounded very well coming from a blu-ray disc. Bass was present, and treble/mids came through clear without any static or distortion.
There are 2 HDMI outs in the projector so you can route it to a sound bar. Unfortunately, though, there is no digital optical out, which is what my sound bar uses.
[---Ports---]
A lot of variety.
2 x HDMI Inputs
1 x 12 v trigger
1 x Type A USB
1 x Mini B USB
1 x PC VGA
1 x RS - 232
1 x Component Audio/Video In
1 x Audio In (3.5mm)
1 x Audio Out (3.5mm)
[---Startup Time/Shutdown Time---]
Startup time - around 20 seconds
Shutdown time - around 20 seconds
[---Heat---]
I measured the exhaust heat at peak watching with a laser thermometer and it was getting max 175 Fahrenheit (79 celsius). The hot air was fairly heated coming out.
[---Other Mentions---]
Focusing was simple, rotate the dial on the lens to get the sharpest picture.
The remote is small and lights up all red in case you need to see it in the dark. A lot of options, including advanced fine-tuning.
--------------------------------------
I have tried 3 projectors personally in my home and while at first they were a nice novelty, no thought was given to them as actually having a permanent place for them in the movie/TV room. The BenQ HT1075 brings a unique experience that will raise you above what you may have been used to before so that you really cannot go back to a regular TV, regardless of size. If you choose to purchase this projector, heed this as a warning, you won't want to go back.
