I've owned this projector for a month and a half. It has worked flawlessly with no issues to speak of.
It's quieter than my Optoma HD65 with a much brighter and vivid picture.
With a little or a lot of patience you can tweak the color and image to what ever floats your boat.
The W1000 has terrific color and depth, along with sharpness I've come to really appreciate. This unit does use a 2 times speed color wheel. Those sensitive to RBE may want to look at the HD20 or Vivitek. A LCD projector could be your best bet if you're very sensitive to RBE. The great thing about amazon is the satisfaction guarantee.
This is a VERY bright projector! At the present time it is the brightest 1080P projector available under 3 grand.
This gives you more leeway for ambient light to be present in the room. You can eat at the dinner table and still enjoy your movie or show without trying to eat in the dark because your image is washed out by the ambient light.
I like the fact this unit has its own speaker. My nephew loves to play Xbox. We just plug the Xbox directly to the projector and off we go! Nothing like playing video games on a large screen. The speaker is plenty loud enough without disturbing others in the home.
I've spent many hours tweaking and calibrating the picture. Here's a few settings that may or may not help you.
I've found it to give me the best balance of color, brightness and contrast so far.
These are settings with the projector 14 ft from the screen with lens wide, lamp hrs of 216 and 120 inch Favi matte white high gain screen. Black levels and contrast will deepen as lamp ages. 100 hrs of burn-in will make a difference for the better in skin tones and black levels.

I have to say that this product is simply amazing! out the box I was pleased with the picture quality and I had to do minimal tweeking to make it look "custom!" I quickly hooked up my Ps3 and played Season 20 of the Simpsons Disc 2, The HIGH DEF episodes and let me say that it just blew me away; granted I was projecting an image of about 90inches or so and the wall had minor imperfections. The brightness is acceptable and was perfectly watchabe with the lights on. I set the lamp mode to economy, and let me say that there is a slight difference in brightness, but that will net you another 1000 hours of life, granted it the lamp doesn't go before that! The look of the projector is elegant white leather texture and look just perfect! I do have one complain though, there is no lense cover, as we all know the lenses are rather fragile and prone to scratches. I am quite happy for my purchase!

This projector I am using right now I have my computer hooked up to it thru a onkyo 1007 and it is fantastic. Brightest projector you will find at this resolution and price range. Plays movies beautifully and games like no other. Handles HD and non hd with ease. I have had it and used it for 1800 hours so far and the bulbs are good for 4000 but just like a light bulb they can go at any time.
A few things people need to know for a long life span is
1. Do not turn on if your only gonna use it an hour or less.
2 Do not turn off and on the projector shortens life span.
3. Do not use during a thunderstorm ever seen a light bulb glow brighter and then later burn out?
I turn mine on and use it every night for atleast 8 hours a day. I have never had a bulb blow on me ever outta the three I have had. I even went over the lifespan on my second one buy 1800 hours!!
Bulbs go bad usually in the first 100 hours if they are gonna prematurely go unless you do what I said not to above. I have it on a 120" screen and I could not be happier.
Also if they give you a replacement bulb make sure you use it, after your first bulb has 100 hours on it use the second for 100 hours
1 Its the right bulb :P
2 It will make it past the 100 hour mark.
Also just so ya know how long and I do have it I was the first to have this projector and reviewed it on AVS forum you can see it here.

Hope this helps thanks :)

BenQ had a promotion for the first DLP projector I bought, where you got a free extra bulb, a $400 value with it. After the bulb went out, I tried to replace it with the free bulb, and they had sent me the wrong bulb. I tried to have it replaced, and BenQ said they would not give me another one. Terrible service, I will never buy any BenQ products again. Peter Lemoine
