BenQ W2720i Standard throw projector 2500 ANSI lumens DLP UHD 4K (3840x2160) 3D Black

The BenQ W2720i Projector delivers UHD 4K (3840x2160) resolution with DLP technology and 2500 ANSI lumens brightness for home cinema use. It uses a long-life LED light source (up to 20,000 hours standard, 30,000 hours in eco mode) and covers wide color gamuts including 90% DCI-P3 and 98% Rec.709. The projector provides factory-calibrated color accuracy out of the box and supports Filmmaker Mode, HDR10+ frame-by-frame optimization, and versatile connectivity including three HDMI 2.1 ports, SPDIF, and eARC for multichannel audio.

Advantages

Factory calibration ensures accurate colors and grayscale tracking (100% Rec.709, Delta E <3; grayscale Delta E <2) without the need for manual calibration. HDR-PRO and HDR10+ technologies enhance dynamic range and contrast, preserving details in bright and dark areas while maintaining image integrity. BenQ CinematicColor delivers filmmaker-intended color fidelity with wide color space coverage. The LED light source provides long-lasting, stable colors and reduces maintenance compared with lamp-based projectors. Built-in Android TV (via dongle) and multiple modern ports make the W2720i suitable for 4K streaming and full-resolution audio passthrough.

Suitable for

• Home cinema viewing of movies and TV series
• Streaming 4K HDR content from Android TV sources

How to use

Place the projector at the appropriate distance to achieve the desired screen size (for example, approximately 2.7 m for a 120" image) and adjust the 1.3x zoom and ±5% vertical lens shift to align the image without digital scaling. Connect source devices via HDMI 2.1 ports or use the included Android TV dongle for 4K streaming. Select Filmmaker Mode when you want to preserve directors’ color and aspect-ratio intentions. For HDR content, enable HDR-PRO/HDR10+ support on compatible sources to allow frame-by-frame optimization.

Recommendations

For best results, use a dedicated projection screen and control ambient light. Keep firmware and connected source settings updated to ensure HDR10+ metadata and eARC audio passthrough function correctly. Position the projector on a stable mount or shelf and allow ventilation clearance around the unit to maintain LED lifespan.
