Twice the contrast at double the price

Philip Wong | Nov 23, 2007

The upcoming BenQ W20000 projector promises twice the dynamic contrast of its W10000 predecessor. While its 20,000:1 rating still pales in comparison to the current 35,000:1 record held by the Sony Black Pearl, this Taiwanese offering is still ahead of the other full-HD DLPs currently available in the market. Other notable enhancements include a highly sought-after Hollywood Quality Video processor by Silicon Optix and dual 1080p24-ready HDMI inputs. In addition, this beamer is also upgraded with Texas Instruments' BrilliantColor technology which boosts color depth from 16.7 million to a staggering 1.07 billion.

The only catch is its estimated S$16,000 (US$11,245.43) price tag. This makes the W20000 one of the most expensive full-HD DLP projectors in the market which is quite unusual coming from BenQ, a company known for its value-for-money product proposition. The W20000 is expected to be available in Singapore in the first quarter of 2008. Pricing and launch details for the rest of Asia are not available at press time.
