I'm still rocking my trusty W1070 and have a new bulb to get through..I've been tempted with the epson 7400 for a while, this sounds great though and I've never had any complaints against the W1070.Very interested in the W2700 as an upgrade for my current W2000. 4K with no grey bars, WCG, a dynamic iris for better black levels and 3D support, with living-room friendly looks makes it seem ideal for my needs. - in fact almost sounds too good to be true. My heart wants to bang a pre-order in now, but my head is telling me to wait for the usual thorough AVF review....

I don't think this is quite right:
"The W2700’s short throw design means that it can be set up as close as 5 cm from a wall and still project a 90-inch diagonal image"
This appears to have a throw ratio of 1.13 to 1.47, which makes it very close to that of the Benq W1070, not ultra short throw as the article suggests.
I'm interested in this one though as it seems to have the shortest throw distance of any faux-4K projector released so for and has 1920x1080 3D which a lot of the other don't.
I don’t think so. The throw looks very similar to to the W1070 that I am running at the moment and that needs a minimum of just under 8’ to fill my 92” screen.Could that be 5'?
Guys I replaced the w1070 I had for a few years with an Optoma uhd300x. I too thought the w1070 was amazing but now realise how limited the colours and resolution was. Night and day difference. The blue green of oceans was the first thing I noticed.
I went from 120 inch diagonal at 3m throw to 115 inch. Barely any drop.
As for fan it's whisper quiet. 1m over head. All I lost was 3D for the 1 a month 3D film watch I gained 4k HDR which is more preferable.
For 899 from Amazon it was a bargain.
Just saying there are options out there that already exist.
I watched loads but they always seemed dark especially when compared to the non 3D. Glass were a pain too. Not a faff I miss nowNearly had me convinced, as I'm after an upgrade, until I read "no 3D"...I have a 12yo Daughter who would disown me if she couldn't watch her 3D movies

it can do 3D via a pc, just not via xbox or blu ray playerNearly had me convinced, as I'm after an upgrade, until I read "no 3D"...I have a 12yo Daughter who would disown me if she couldn't watch her 3D movies
Thing is I don't know much about 3D, and would appreciate if someone can clarify if this can output 3D without any special requirement, i.e. PC, any emitter for the glasses etc? I understand I'll need a 3D capable Blu Ray player along with 3D Blu Ray disks and active glasses but do I need anything else?
Thanks
There shouldn't be anything else required as the W2700 has native 3D compatibility. When you run a 3D Blu-ray or MKV, the projector should automatically go into 3D mode and you can just put your 3D glasses on and watch the content in 3D.
There are projectors (like the UHD300X mentioned earlier in this thread) that are 2D but can display 3D non-natively using a PC source. I didn't know this was possible before reading the guides on here, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it for non-experts!
