        As usual. These types of Officeworks clearance items are almost always discounted when there are less than 10 units in stock in the whole country (which makes posting them against the rules).

      I have had one for about 2 years and I would actually say it's quite loud.. Not obnoxiously loud but you hear it above your head when the movie is quiet. Other than that it has been amazing

      • d3ft on 15/07/2015 - 14:54

        Agreed. Much louder than my old Panasonic (but then that retailed for $3k+). For the price, who cares though?

  • rawm on 15/07/2015 - 10:51

    Great deal - I bought one of these http://www.techradar.com/au/reviews/pc-mac/monitors-and-proj… on gumtree for $80 a few weeks back and thought I'd be satisfied for a while - not if spec'd projectors keep coming down in price!

    • Lukian on 15/07/2015 - 11:32

      $80 or $800?

    • rawm on 15/07/2015 - 12:58

    I got this refurbished on the BenQ webpage for $729 pickup.

    This model is even more superiour than the W1070+ as that one is louder (albiet brighter) AND has a worse refresh rate for some reason.

      I've had mine 2 years and use it heaps and I'm only just at 2000 hours and don't think I'll need to replace it anytime soon as I've been using it on the smart eco which looks pretty much the same as the other modes! Probably buy a new projector before it needs changing

    • ilovepizza on 15/07/2015 - 19:22

    Was looking at buying this, then saw the rainbow effect from the DLP and decided it wasnt for me. Shame, cause the overall pic quality looks awesome.

    • wisc on 15/07/2015 - 11:54

      was it this projector that you saw or an older one? the newer ones have a better colour wheel, twice as many colours or something, rainbow effect is greatly reduced… you notice it for a little while, but after a while it disappears and not really an issue.

      I have the w7000 though.

    • Peteroz on 15/07/2015 - 11:57
      +1

      I was the same., When I got it i could see rainbows, only when you move your head around. YOU see them more when you look for them. I wanted to return it, but then I realized that a good LCD projectors are much bigger in size and heavier and also cost more. After using it for more than 6 months I don't see rainbows. I put the filter on and bulb also got dimmer, as a result you get less rainbows. Also you can paint your wall in grey, it will also help to reduce rainbows and boost contrast.

      Why the heck are you searching up MX518 videos??? It's not even close to being a similar model to the W1070. MX series are created for powerpoint presentations / educational purposes, and not for movies.

      Also, camera's pick up effects differently to the eye. No different than looking through a camera pointing at a monitor you can see the refresh rates clearly, whereas the eye can't.

      • noshopping on 15/07/2015 - 13:50

        "Also, camera's pick up effects differently to the eye…"
        That's it. I learned a new trick today and that's how to tell if your fluorescent lights use magnetic ballast or electronic ballast (newer). You just point your camera to the light and if you see lines through it, it's magnetic, as they refresh slower.

  • slknv on 15/07/2015 - 11:55

    Wow,amazing price. Im on my second benq projector, a w1300 I paid a lot more for at the start of the year, but the w1070 is amazing bang for buck and unbeatable at this price.

  • samlor on 15/07/2015 - 12:06

    Cheap indeed if you can find one. Can anyone comment on whether this device exhibits any/much 3D crosstalk (AKA ghosting)? My 3 year old Epson 3D LCD projector has zero crosstalk unlike plasma/LCD 3D TVs of the time (or even now I presume/suspect). Some reviews claim this one has no noticeable crosstalk but I could point willing owners to test pattern/instructions used to gauge/confirm that.

  • jackwoz on 15/07/2015 - 12:22

  • JayM on 15/07/2015 - 15:25

    I have an Epson 1080i projector and need a replacement for my lounge as the lens is out of alignment and it's just older now though still plays movies ok.

    My ex-housemate used to use it for pool parties where he'd face it at the wall of the house whilst people were in the pool. I used to have friends around and we'd play 4 player Xbox360 games on it. Each player in a 4 player Mario Kart game would get equivalent of at least a 50" tv on their quarter.

    If you have a white wall, you can easily get a huge screen for a fraction of the price of a TV. If the room is too bright then it may be harder to see unless you have thick curtains.

  • Duram on 15/07/2015 - 15:25

    I have one of these and I cannot for the life of me make it square lol.

  • richieisnow on 15/07/2015 - 15:35

    I have one of these and love it. No need for a TV. fine in daylight too. Good 3d. Duram, I had the same problem and tried for ages to adjust the projector - in the I found the SCREEN was not flat against the wall and that was having a huge effect.

    3D is great with cheap ebay glasses from China (until I sat on 2 of them). You may manually need to update to firmware 1.08 to get all 3d modes (eg downloaded side by side 3d movies).

    I had the weirdest problem with mine - for ages the picture kept going blank, or scrambled when any electrical appliance in the house was turned on. TV was fine, tried multiple cables. BenQ said nothing wrong with it, and strangely when I moved to another apartment in the same complex the problem disappeared.

    • [Deactivated] on 15/07/2015 - 17:23
