Would this be a noise a bit like a hard disk seeking on and off…is this auto iris maybe? I heard some noises during Loki on the big screen last night and thought it was maybe my STB HDD doing some housekeeping but maybe it was the W5700?
It could be the iris noise. Maybe good to check it
Hi Guys Up date
BenQ has a new model 850i it is a replacement to the 2700 . This come with brighter 3000 ansi lumens , same RGB RGB DLP chip 4K / UHD resolution with full Glass assembly lens and will have some Apps …
Alf, the main difference in HT picture quality between the 850i and the 2700 seems to be the 4 segment color wheel vs the 6 segment color wheel on the 2700. The 4 segment color wheel allows more light through and hence the greater brightness, but at the expense of the total number of colors. The 2700 reaches 100% of Rec. 709 and 95% of DCI-P3, whereas BenQ only specs the 850i 98% of Rec. 709 and does not provide a DCI-P3 spec. I would suspect that the TK850i only reaches about 60-80% of DCI-P3. Hence, the 2700 remains the choice if you watch HDR movies in a dark room. The TK850i is better for SDR movies in a bright room.
Yah , you are right sammy base on the above guy review on the different projector and screen comparison.
This allow different options on mode of viewing rather just completely black out or bat cave .
I dont have the unit in my hands but hear say about thee specs . Usually i would like to do my own testing .
Any way the reviewer has a video on the image on the end of his review .
W4000i vs w2720i anyone?
Hi Videophile and HT gang ,
The latest update on Benq is Updated model is w4100i having the brighness of 3200 ansi lumens and able to HDR 10+ ( which covers most Movies and the able do gaming with some tweaking )not the highest but they make up with better optical lens and H/V lens shift options. The additional is the deeper blacks feature .
Ideal for those small space but you will get bigger picture as is at mid throw lens category .
For me on the long term projects and install it has the options to play so many sources Movies / Gaming / Karaoke n usaull soccer or golf .
It want more contrast and have abit of lights can always use Dark Grey tone screens to give it a boost like Steroid…
Lastly it will not break the bank and have 3 year local warranty . Selling sdg $4499.
