Did a fair bit of research before buying one of these, an...d I haven't been disappointed. Home projectors have come on leaps and bounds in the past 10-15 years, and there are other very good 1080p projectors in this general price range, like the Viewsonics and the Optomas. But where the W1070+ scores for me is: * Relatively low fan noise * Minimal "rainbow effect". The W1070+ has a 6-segment, 6x-speed colour wheel to minimise rainbowing - and as someone who's experienced this fairly strongly in the past, I've hardly noticed it on the W1070+, even watching high contrast black-&-white content, which would often set me off in the past * Excellent all-round picture quality. Even though some other manufacturers claim significantly higher contrast figures on paper, in real-world performance the W1070+ really cuts it The only significant issue I have heard of with them is that a minority of W1070 / W1070+ owners report problems with their machines going into auto shutdown over-frequently, with a lamp/overheating warning. That's why I chose to buy a used one on eBay, so I could check with the original owner that this particular unit wasn't affected by the problem. ( I don't think any of the sellers I contacted had experienced the issue, so it may not be too widespread...) For those wondering the difference between the W1070 and the W1070+, the plus model has 2200 lumens as opposed to 2000, but also a couple of decibels less fan noise. Also the plus provides more interfacing opportunities to display images from phones. Some earlier models of the W1070 don't have a backlit remote - which can be annoying in a darkened room. And last but not least, the plus is said to have a comparable but slightly better picture quality - although I can't vouch for this personally, as I've never viewed a W1070. Overall this is a great projector, which has been at the top to the tree in its price range for several years now - so other than making sure to ask whether the machine has had any auto-shutdown problems ( and of course asking the usual projector stuff - any dust-blotches on the projected image, how much time is left on the lamp etc ) I would say buy 2nd-hand with confidence.

Good machine for the money. Great picture quality and r...easonably quite. Software could be better, so harder to set up than some projectors as vertical positioning of lens to centre of screen is critical. Worth the effort though!

After 5 years..., this projector keeps being the king of the specific price range. This is the view that I saw mentioned quite a few times and, after using it, I feel it is right.
