The whole concept of consumer projectors originated around the idea of creating a cinema in your home, but things are no longer that ‘simple’. These days, truly dedicated home cinema projectors (at least those that don’t cost a small fortune) are starting to feel like a niche exception to a more general ‘home entertainment’ norm where gaming, portability and smart features seem to be classed as at least as important as immersive picture quality.
For us and many other true home cinema lovers though, projectors are still the ultimate movie machines. So when the increasingly rare opportunity came along to check out a true and serious mid-range home cinema projector in the shape of BenQ’s W5800, we were on it faster than you could say “Hollywood”.
