BenQ W3000 Reviews (AKA HT4050):
Performance Features Ease Of Use Value	" It has an elegant, smooth picture that will appeal to videophiles. The more sophisticated home theater aficionado will appreciate the incremental picture quality and gladly pay the extra price. The W3000 also has some desirable performance features that do not exist on the lower priced BenQ models, most notably very nice implementations of frame interpolation and 2D to 3D conversion. Our sample came with a factory default Cinema mode that requires no calibration to enjoy right out the box. And its brighter and richer Vivid mode also has a refined quality that a lot of users will find extremely appealing. In our view, the 1.6x zoom that lets you position the projector farther from the screen is also a noteworthy and attractive asset. The BenQ W3000 is intended to be the more elegant of the three new models, and it definitely is. The picture has a refined quality compared to its two lower priced siblings. The more expensive glass lens used in the W3000 eliminates chromatic aberration. This contributes to a smoother, silkier, more film-like image than you get from either the W1110 or W2000. "

Breath Taking Motion Picture Quality

Rec. 709 HDTV Standard for Finest Cinematic Color Authentic HDTV Color Accuracy

Rec. 709 is the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate replica of cinematic color as the director intended.

With 6X Speed RGBRGB Color Wheel, W3000 is calibrated for cinematic color modeled on the HDTV standard, Rec. 709, to deliver refined colors that are the truest possible reproduction of the original palette of your video.

How Our Projectors Are Designed for Rec. 709

Only displays that conform to Rec. 709 can reproduce colors correctly in all images through an entire movie. While most projector manufacturers choose a saturated color tone bias to increase colorfulness, resulting in color accuracy loss, W2000 achieves the Rec.709 color standard. The process of building a projector includes many variables such as lenses, lamps and color wheel coating. We work relentlessly to close any gaps from those variances and to make our projectors perform exactly to Rec. 709. This is because we believe that colors matter to our users when enjoying movies as they were meant to be seen.

Hardware Design

BenQ’s ISF-trained expert engineers tried more than 20 different combinations of color segments and color wheel coating, the factors that directly affect color gamut and brightness of a projector.

Software Optimization

To maximize color accuracy, the process of software optimization involved adjusting the blacks, whites and greys towards D65 defined by Rec. 709. And the three primary and three secondary colors were adjusted one by one, until they were as close as possible to the references on the Rec. 709 color gamut.

Production Line Quality Control

Three color adjustment stations in the production line perform final checks on every single unit of our Rec. 709 projectors. Using exclusive BenQ color adjustment procedures, we make sure each projector is manufactured according to the Rec. 709 color standard, and BenQ quality engineers perform final color tests on each projector built to ensure Rec.709 performance.
