I have this projector now for 185 hours use, it's exceptional for the price.
HD tv and blu ray content are stunning.
I use it about 6 hours per evening on eco lamp setting (144 watts) energy efficient with more than enough lumens. The fan can barely be heard on eco mode. It took about 50 hours for the lamp to settle in then the image produced the wow factor.
I am using user 1 setting suggested on projectorcentral.com but with brilliant colour-on.
This projector has enough calibration settings for it to be pro calibrated.Spare lamps can currently be had for £110, so I bought one because I love this projector.
I hope other owners may share some user settings with me. I might buy an eye one LT for 3 monthly calibrations.
I have the w1000+ shelf mounted 4m away producing 93" wide image. I don't notice any motion instability and I watch HD football quite a lot. I have a Panasonic 50" G10 plasma and the Benq makes it look like a laptop image!
