Projectors serve a variety of purposes in both your personal and professional life. Whether delivering a presentation, having friends over to watch a basketball game, or simply playing an old Charlie Chaplin movie against the backdrop of a summer evening shindig, these BenQ projectors will help you communicate your message effectively, create a true home theatre for group enjoyment, or set the perfect ambiance for your soirees and get-togethers. Technologically advanced and functionally versatile, keeping a projector on hand will prove to be one of the best tech acquisition decisions you’ve made. But don’t take my word for it. Read on, see for yourself, and enter this contest for a chance to win your own BenQ HT1070A Home Cinema Projector or MW526AE Digital Projector.

Modern BenQ projectors for the home or workplace

You remember those old bulky, noisy, projectors from the past. The kind your 3rd grade teacher would use to show your class the pyramids for a history lesson. Perhaps your boring Aunt Betty used one to display countless albums and home movies of the yearly vacation to who-knows-where. Yeah, you remember those projectors. They were big and clunky, project with poor image quality, and your teacher or aunt always seemed to experience technical difficulties with them while you waited for the tedious session to end. Much like the rest of tech we now enjoy, from smartphones to televisions, projectors have evolved. They are now compact and impressively powerful.

We sent two models in the BenQ line of projectors to a Canadian blogger for honest reviews. The BenQ HT1070A Home Cinema Projector is designed for the home, while the BenQ MW526AE Digital Projector was made for professional use, but the two can be used interchangeably, and will not disappoint in either domain.

Read Darren Blakeborough’s separate reviews of each unit. Darren found that the HT1070A Home Cinema Projector showcases a crisp, clear 1080p HD image, a massive screen size, and awesome colour reproduction thanks to CinematicColor technology.

As for the MW526 Digital Projector, the reviewer was impressed with how lightweight and compact the unit was, the solid 15000:1 contrast ratio, and how vivid text appears on-screen.

Both projectors offer the freedom to customize your screen size anywhere from 60″ to 300″, and feature an array of inputs and outputs, including HDMI. Show off the content you love: connect a streaming device, television signal, computer, and more. Use the built-in speakers or connect to your home theatre system for a full audio experience. Project on a white wall (a light background of almost any kind will do nicely), or add your own projection screen to really enhance the experience.

  1. Taken out the toys… Getting basement ready for an older space for the kids and us… What a great way to start with the BenQ projector!

  2. I would love the Saturn 3-Seat Leather Gel Power Recliner Home Theatre Seating and a google chromecast or media stream to make my home theatre experience awesome.

  3. I would love the Elunevision white manual projector-screen-120” 16:9. It would take family movie night to a new level!

  4. I would also want the Elite Screens OMS123HR Yardmaster Portable Outdoor Self Standing Projection Screen so I could host outdoor movie nights!!

  5. Had eyes on the Starship 3-Seat Leather Power Recliner Home Theatre Seating. Looks so comfortable and has a great look. With everyone in my home having on and off back issues from general work, comfort seating is a must to enjoy the home theater to the max.

  6. I would definitely want the projection screen as the picture is only as good as what it is shown on.

  7. I would pair the projector with the Elite Screens OMS123HR Yardmaster Portable Outdoor Self Standing Projection Screen so I could enjoy some outdoor movie nights under the stars!

  8. What I would really like to get is a good quality soundbar with sub. My family room is too small for a regular 5.1 home theatre set-up. There are too many on the market which makes it hard to decide which one would be good enough. I keep reading reviews.

  9. I’d also love the Starship Genuine Leather Power Motion Recliner Chair because it looks so comfy for watching movies!

  10. I would pair this with the Saturn 3-Seat Leather Gel Power Recliner Home Theatre Seating!

  11. I would love a Denon AVRX3400H 7.2 Channel 4K Ultra HD Atmos Network AV Receiver or equal to go with this projector…..really maximize the experience!

  12. I would use this with an Elite Screens Yard Master . It would make the perfect backyard set up for those family movie nights.

  13. If I won one of the two Benq projectors, I would outfit it with a couple of home theatre seating like the Valencia Piacenza Premium Top Grain 9000 Leather Black Power Recliner LED Lighting Home Theater Seating 2-Seat. Complete Awesome Package!

  14. To optimize the Benq projector, I would get the Sonos wireless surround sound speakers to have the stereo surround sound effect.

  15. I would love this along with a comfy Saturn 3-Seat Leather Gel Power Recliner Home Theatre Seating!
