BenQ W1080ST
Best short throw projector for immersive home entertainment.
This projector brings big-screen 1080p entertainment to your living room with its short-throw capability, meaning you get a large image even in smaller spaces. While it offers 3D support and DLP's sharp visuals, its lamp-based design means ongoing bulb replacement costs and a less energy-efficient operation compared to modern laser or LED alternatives.
