Specifications and features

CinematicColor gives you stars in your eyes

CinematicColor technology uses optimal colors to provide you with high-quality images. With its HDTV Rec. 709 color space, 6X speed RGBRGB color wheel, and high native ANSI contrast ratio, CinematicColor delivers stunning image performance and provides sharp, detailed visuals for unforgettable home cinema sessions.

6X speed RGBRGB color wheel

Of all the components in a DLP projector, the color wheel has the greatest effect on colors. Achieving the perfect balance between color accuracy and brightness requires great meticulousness and rigorous quality control. BenQ’s CinematicColor™ uses nanometer-precise references to test over 20 combinations of color wheel angle and coating. Even at the nanometer scale, a small difference can alter the color spectrum. Each color wheel is designed with ultra-pure color coatings to conform to Rec. 709 color gamut standards and reproduce the visuals of Hollywood films.

Sport and Audio Sport Modes

Sport Mode offers ultra-realistic skin tones and intense grass colors to make you experience matches that are more true-to-life than ever, during incredible large-screen projections. Plus, Sport Mode (Bright) is optimized for well-lit environments. Audio Sport Mode allows you to clearly hear sports commentators, even when galvanized by the noise of the crowd.

BenQ SmartEco Technology

SmartEco® mode automatically adjusts lamp brightness based on content to enable the projection of deeper blacks and increase contrast for small text and details; an ingenious and less expensive method for greater visual comfort.

What the press says

BenQ found the right formula with its W1070 and there was no reason to change it. The W1090 therefore retains the strengths of its big brothers and removes a few superfluous elements, such as the anecdotal lens-shift, in order to focus on image quality. While BenQ has made a small effort on noise, it's still not enough and other models do much better on this point. However, the W1090 is an excellent video projector and is simply unbeatable in this price range.

Automatically translated — Show original (French)

BenQ a trouvé la bonne recette avec ses W1070 et il n'y avait pas de raison de la changer. Le W1090 reprend donc les forces de ses grands frères et retire quelques éléments superficiels, comme le lens-shift anecdotique, afin de se concentrer sur la qualité d'image. Si BenQ a fait un petit effort sur le bruit, ce n'est pas encore suffisant et d'autres modèles font bien mieux sur ce point. Le W1090 est toutefois un excellent vidéoprojecteur et il est tout simplement imbattable dans cette gamme de prix.
