Good point about the fan noise frequency - these new Benqs all suffer from it. I found the pitch to be unbearable.
I also don't quite get why they keep churning out new models....doesn't seem to be any different to their previous models?
Fan noise with these small home entertainment models is a fact of life I'm afraid. The bulbs just get so hot in that little box that they require powerful fan.This is very sad thing to read, cause the noise is very important factor to me aswell

Hello,Having just bought one of these to replace my long serving VPL-VW50 I'm very impressed with the marked improvement in picture quality for such a budget projector, subjectively it looks great.
I'm interested in what adjustments you made to get such a good tracking result as no matter what I do, I can't seem to stop blue/magenta portions of colour bars from being polluted by green?
I should point I'm using colour filters to assess this as I don't have access to colorimeters etc, so this may be the issue.
Any advice is appreciated.
I'm afraid not, yours is the only response so far.Hello,
I've got the same model, and would be interested as well in your settings. Did you manage to get the ones from the test ?
Cheers

I'm afraid not, yours is the only response so far.
I calibrated mine by eye using a combination of the Avia DVD and Curry's Picture Perfect BD so it's a relatively crude calibration by modern standard, but it looks good to my eyes.
My settings may not map well to another projector (which would be the same issue with the settings from the test) and will be affected by your screen, but I can post them if you like?
If you can that'd be nice
Here you go, I thought it might be easier to just insert screen captures of the menus.
Hello,Does the new 2200 ANSI model also suffer from the brightness scene change bug in Smart Eco mode ?
It reminds me of a cheap laptop LED screen.
I'm quoting from a amazon review on the previous model regarding the bug:
BenQ W1050 2000 ANSI
There is one fly in the ointment, and that is an issue with the Smart Eco mode for the lamp; this tries to dynamically adjust the light intensity according to the scene. This works perfectly on the W1110s - it's the mode I use all the time - but on the newer projector it seems to struggle to keep up, and you quite often notice the lighting intensity change visibly a second or so after a scene change. Switching to Normal mode on the light fixed this, but this is nominally at a cost of the lifetime of the bulb. It's probably fixable in firmware, but out of the box, Smart Eco mode has issues.
