BenQ W1700

The BenQ W1700 is the latest in a fast-growing line of affordable 4K projectors. Despite also claiming support for high dynamic range (HDR) playback, it costs just £1500. This price looks even better when it transpires that in many ways the W1700 is genuinely talented.

BenQ W1700 review

The era of 4K was once only ruled by TVs, with projectors only joining the fold with large and pricey models. The BenQ W1700 is a surprising new addition for the company, and what's even more surprising is the fact that it puts 4K projectors at a much more accessible price point than ever before.

Attractive price point; Strong 4K & HDR performance

Faint light border; Needs more HDMI ports
