The BenQ Home Cinema W2720i bridges the gap between television replacement and home theater displays. It streams content through Android TV using an included dongle that installs in a hidden compartment. This connects it to thousands of providers and a vast array of content streamed through its integrated Wi-Fi. On the home theater side, it sports three HDMI 2.1 inputs with eARC and 120 Hz 1080p operation for gaming. A full menu system delivers powerful calibration controls, but you won’t need them because it’s spot-on out of the box. It also has a wide gamut color with over 90% coverage of DCI-P3 and HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and 3D support. Built-in speakers provide stereo sound and codecs up to Dolby Atmos.

I’ve been reviewing BenQ projectors here at Secrets since I started with the magazine in 2009. Over this time, they have never stopped improving their designs, and today, they deliver premium performance from DLP technology, making them a standout in the industry. The W2720i is great for home theaters and multi-use media rooms alike, with AI technology that makes setup a breeze. No calibration is necessary for a great picture, and you’ll be streaming content in just a few minutes using the handy backlit remote. Color and contrast are superb from the get-go, and I look forward to testing and enjoying the W2720i in the coming weeks.

Be on the lookout for my full review to drop on the SECRETS website very soon!
