BenQ HT1070A 3D DLP Projector Preview

See the complete review of the BenQ HT1070A 3D DLP Projector

Earlier this year, I reviewed BenQ’s HT1070 and found it delivered tremendous performance for only $699.

Today, I’ve received its successor, the HT1070A 3D DLP Projector, for review. The price is now just $649, light output is up from 2000 lumens to 2200, and it retains everything that made its predecessor a fantastic display that costs less than most 50” flat-panel TVs.

Many users want a projector that can be set up on a coffee table and enjoyed without fuss. The HT1070A can do that with easy connectivity, a zoom lens, simple chassis leveling, and automatic keystone correction. You can even enjoy your movie’s audio through a built-in speaker. 3D fans will appreciate its reasonably-bright presentation and crosstalk-free support for all 3D Blu-ray formats.

Color accuracy appears to be just as good as anything I’ve received from BenQ which is no surprise. They haven’t failed to deliver excellent out-of-box quality yet. I’ll be putting the HT1070A through my usual suite of benchmarks and watching a few movies. I enjoy 3D when it’s done right and I believe this projector will make the grade. Watch for my complete review coming soon!

Chris Eberle

Chris' passion for audio began when he took up playing the bassoon at age 12. During his third year at the New England Conservatory of Music, he won a position with the West Point Band where he served for 26 years as principal bassoonist. He retired from the Army in 2013 and is now writing full time and performing as a freelance musician in Central Florida. As an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years. In his spare time he enjoys riding his recumbent trike at least 100 miles per week, trying out new restaurants, going to theme parks and spending as much time as possible watching movies and listening to music. Chris enjoys bringing his observations and discoveries about every kind of home theater product to as many curious and well-informed readers as possible. He is proud to be a part of the Team and hopes to help everyone enjoy their AV experiences to the fullest.
