Fidelity finished Mingji color master home projector W3000 evaluation

Lead

Following the evaluation of BenQ's W1110 and W2000 in the “Color Masters” series launched for home projectors this year, Projection Times.com once again acquired the W3000 products. The rate is not the first test, but this series is very much looking forward to Go to a brand new understanding of it and see how the sublimation version of the first two, BenQ W3000, will have different color accuracy and picture quality. For buyers, what are the reasons for buying it? This is the focus of this evaluation, if you are thinking of buying it, then you should not miss it! Follow the editor to experience it!

Exterior

First of all, still first to say that although it is a professional home projector for the professional enthusiasts, although the appearance does not seem very important, but it still has a curious mind, after all, "face" what to look at, This will have the desire to deepen understanding. BenQ "Color Master" W3000 did not use the same design as the W1110 and W2000, but the design of the bright home projector W1350 released earlier this year, so this edition will also focus on the difference between the two, The overall appearance is not described in detail.



BenQ W3000 still uses the classic silver and white collocation, the body uses a white piano paint process, the body around a circle using silver paint process, atmospheric fashion, can be well integrated into the home environment. The W3000 home projector has a wedge-shaped design that adds to the stylish feel of this projector.



Change 1: Lens. The biggest change in the BenQ W3000 compared to the W1350 is at the lens, the W3000 is equipped with a 1.6X zoom lens, and increases the left and right lens shift function keys, so the layout has changed significantly. Both the focus ring and the zoom ring are designed at the front of the lens. The zoom ring is designed using a rotary knob. The focus ring is designed on the lens. The upper, lower, and left manual shift keys are designed above the lens, making adjustments more flexible. This is also the model that is rarely seen again in the price segment.


Change 2: Control Panel. Compared with the W1350, the BenQ W3000 also has a small change in the control panel. It is the keystone that contains the keystone correction replaced by the volume adjustment, the function keys include the main menu, signal source, volume adjustment and other keys, the keys feel comfortable, operation Simple, user-friendly adjustment.


Change three: the back of the fuselage logo. The BenQ W3000 is located close to the heat dissipation outlet, except for the user-friendly standard heat dissipation cues. Only the CinematicColor Rec 709 and DLP display technology labels are identified.


Change four: interface. BenQ W3000 interface configuration is also quite rich, more than a W1350 a 3D SYNC OUT interface for external 3D converter. The rest is added at the tail of some of the features supported by the aircraft.


The BenQ W3000's remote control is just like the W1350. The layout of the control keys is more reasonable. The main function keys are differentiated by colors, making it easier to find them quickly. And the red background warning light is even more convenient for use in the dark. Another humanized design is the High key, which uses a silver light design. In dark situations, it allows you to easily locate the remote control.

Performance Testing

Compared with the W1110 and W2000, the BenQ W3000 has a wider color gamut in addition to almost 100% compliance with the Rec.709 international color standard. What is the color effect? Look at the actual projection effect. Next, take a look at his true expression with the editor.


This time the test mode is in the Rec.709 mode, when testing the three primary colors, the BenQ W3000 performs quite well, the color is restored in place, the color is full and beautiful, the overall color uniformity is good, the brightness is high. Permeability test, BenQ W3000 performance is also very good, the color of the fusion contrast is obvious, the transition is relatively smooth, the color is very beautiful, permeability test results are very good. (The more colorful, the better the transparency.)


In the gray-scale contrast test, BenQ home projector W3000 performed very well, from bright to dark smooth, clear transition. In the block of 256 gray scales, only a small part of the upper left corner is clearly distinguishable. Its advantage is that black scenes can still be clearly and quickly characterized even when switching between light and dark scenes.


Professional BenQ W3000 professional home projectors also perform very well in professional contrast tests. By comparing the clothes actually viewed with the background color, the contrast between the black clothes and the black background or the white clothes and the white background is distinct.


As a full HD home projector, BenQ W3000 did not show any distortion in the standard definition test. Both slashes, horizontal lines, and the shortest vertical line are very consistent and there is no adhesion at all. Moreover, regardless of the different values, the lines can be clearly distinguished and reach the 1080P level.


Color saturation is a very important indicator for home projectors. According to the test results, the screen projected by BenQ W3000 has good color accuracy, accurate color transitions, and basically shows the color of each object, and the saturation is excellent. In general, the screen has a strong sense of hierarchy, good image quality, and vivid color reproduction.


Text resolution test is still difficult to invert BenQ W3000. In the actual viewing, when the brightness of the text is 100%, the text can be clearly identified. The smallest font in the middle is slightly unclear, but it can still be recognized. . Especially in the state where the brightness is reduced to 30%, the smallest font in the middle is still legible, which shows that the brightness of the W3000 is high.


For the gamma test, the BenQ W3000 projection of the effect is commendable, as you can see from the above shot pictures. The excellent performance enables the user to fine-tune the brightness and darkness of the screen, control the contrast performance of the entire screen, and reproduce delicate images.

Development test

Static scene depth testing mainly tests the projector's performance in terms of basic color, spatial perception, saturation, and gray scale. Due to shooting conditions, the actual effect is better than taking pictures. The following pictures are for reference only.


First of all, I would like to make a digression. This recent edition has tested many BenQ projectors in 2015. The biggest impression left on me is that although the nominal brightness is not high, the brightness of the displayed screen has really improved a lot, especially compared to other things. The brand's products feel very obvious. Through the actual experience of the static picture screen projected by the W3000, the overall effect is excellent, different colors are restored in place, and the skin color to the flowers and fruits look natural and authentic. The blue sky is also accurate. Let us be in the fog, and we can also enjoy the pure air feeling through the blue sky and white clouds projected!




Before talking about the effects of the movie experience, we must explain the HDMI cable used this time. It is the KBoard Extreme T series HDMI cable. It is the latest upgrade version 2.0 cable, and it perfectly supports 4K/2K ultra-high definition image quality, and the transmission bandwidth is up to 18Gbps, supports Ethernet protocol and audio backhaul, and supports Ultra HD 3D image transmission. A total of Blu-ray and online videos were watched this time. Hobbit 3: The Battle of the Five Armies is a blockbuster keyword that focuses on big scenes. There are fewer gorgeous colors and dark scenes. This is a big challenge for the projector. Through actual viewing, the screen projected by the BenQ W3000, the color of the characters and the color reproduction are in place, and the film feels full. Compared to the previous W1350, although the difference in color cannot be clearly distinguished, the brightness of the W3000 is increased, making it appear even better in the dark details. In the Rec.709 mode, the hair is dark and the background is black and the level remains the same. distinct. It is also said at the beginning that BenQ's improvement in brightness is indeed real, not just good color.



When watching online movies and TV dramas, the BenQ W3000 performed equally well. One of the scenes in the film Returning to Dasheng, the background is green grassland, under the W3000 projection, there is no fluorescence green phenomenon, the actual green effect is actually restored, and the picture shows a very delicate effect. When watching the 007: Royal Casino movie, the effect of its projection is very good to show the color effect and contrast, the picture purity is good.


Also when watching online TV dramas, under the BenQ W3000 projection, there is a true ratio of film sources, so that the viewing effect is the same as that of a television. Compared to the time when a television is used to watch an online movie, the phenomenon of proportional distortion may occur, affecting the performance. Watch the screen effect, this point is still more obvious projector advantage. Under the lights off, the projector's projected image quality is comparable to that of the next TV. The main reason is that long-term viewing will not hurt the eyes, and the large-screen display will look better. Just like the effect of the TV drama projected by the W3000, you can see at a glance.

Functional experience

Functional experience 1: gamma selection. This time, the BenQ W3000 has added this feature to a number of selectable values, which is also a configuration that is rarely seen in the same model. From 1.6 to 2.8, it can be said to meet the demanding fine-tuning choices of professional enthusiasts. Through the actual experience of comparison, the difference between before and after is very obvious, and the different levels of gray levels are different.



Functional experience II: Cinema Master. This feature is not available on the W2000 and W1110. This is one of the differences in the BenQ W3000. The first Motion Enhancer feature will help the W3000 create a smoother, smoother frame refresh rate and increase the fluidity of the movie. In the second advanced option in the image menu, the Color Enhancer function has the effect of providing greater flexibility in color saturation adjustment. The third Pixel Enhancer feature, which can sharpen edges and provide more detail to the human eye. The last one is the function of skin color. By actually adjusting the picture, the maximum value is 5, and compared with the value of 0, the color of the character is not very strong, but changes can still be seen.



Functional experience three: 3D features. The BenQ W3000 still supports multiple 3D models due to its use of the latest DLP chips. This time, we focused on experiencing the up and down and left and right 3D modes. Through experience, the 3D format conversion is simple and easy to use, does not require much step setting, and the 3D picture can be viewed by one-click switching. However, I have to say that the phenomenon of redness in the dark part of the screen has not been resolved during the conversion that has existed before, but this does not affect the viewing of 3D effects and the brightness is also bright.



Functional experience four: horizontal and vertical lens shift. Compared with the W2000, the BenQ W3000 also supports one more horizontal lens shift function, and its addition reduces the difficulty of installation. In actual experience, by adjusting the shift key, the amplitude is slightly smaller, but with the addition of the horizontal shift key, the practicality is further enhanced, and the installation darkness coefficient is greatly reduced.

Power consumption
When the BenQ W3000 bulb was in normal mode, the tested power consumption was around 311, and it performed fairly well. When set in the energy-saving mode, the brightness of the projector will be reduced. At this time, the power consumption value is about 240W, and the energy-saving effect is still very obvious. Combined with the advanced lamp temperature control function, the W3000 achieves longer use. life. Not only does this reduce the projector's post-production costs, it also reduces the labor required to replace the lamp.

temperature
In this test temperature environment, the test room temperature is around 21 degrees. BenQ "Color Master" home projector W3000 from the actual experience of the test point of view, in the use of nearly two hours or so W3000, the highest body value is about 32 degrees, the temperature is still normal, is the normal range of values. In the heat outlet, the measured temperature is 44 degrees, through the touch of the hand temperature, a little hot at the outlet, but the body temperature is still good, long time viewing also does not hinder.

Evaluation summary
advantage:

1. All-glass, low-dispersion coated lens 2, horizontal and vertical lens shift 3, Cinema Master function (high image quality)
4, gamma coefficient selection 5, rich color management system 6, built-in high-quality speakers 7, user-friendly interface

Disadvantages:

1, displacement adjustment is not flexible enough

Evaluation summary:


BenQ Master Professional Home Projector W3000 has no appearance in appearance, and does not adopt the W1110 and W2000 designs in the new Master Master Series. Instead, it adopts the W1350 design introduced at the beginning of this year. The difference, but only changes in the details, especially with the addition of the horizontal displacement function, so that its lens changes the most. However, the horizontal displacement function has a smaller adjustment range, but with the addition of vertical displacement, the overall adjustment rate has indeed increased.

As for the entire testing process, BenQ W3000 and W1110, W2000 have the biggest difference in intuitive performance is the addition of the Cinema Master function, through the sub-item motion enhancement, color enhancement, pixel enhancement and skin tone and function, more abundant adjustment items Enough to meet the professional adjustment of enthusiasts in order to achieve the desired viewing quality. And through the actual adjustment point of view, the adjustment of each function after the comparison is still very obvious, regardless of the color temperature of the screen from cold to warm, or pixel adjustment, showing a more layered hair, can meet the discerning eyes.

At the same time, what is the difference in color between the W1110 and the W2000 as a higher-level W3000 in the same series? From the comparison of this series, the difference between the three is really difficult to see from the naked eye, unless you are a professional-level color master, it may be seen. For ordinary players, individuals do not want to tangled in this, to see personal preferences. For professional gamers, choosing the W3000 will bring a deeper level of experience, better picture quality and ease of harsh fine-tuning.

However, the editorial advice here suggests that for beginners, the W1110 and W2000 have a sound effect. Since the two machines are designed with the speaker at the rear and are dual-watt speakers, the advantage of this is that it can play a balance between the left and right. If you put it into use, the sound effects will be more pronounced. BenQ W3000 is designed with a single speaker and designed on the right, the effect of three-dimensional effect can not reach the first two, this for professional enthusiasts, do not mind, after all, external audio to enhance the overall audio-visual effects.

In general, BenQ Color Master Professional Home Projector W3000 brings another weapon to the home market, especially to the Rec.709 standard, so that you can experience the original director works without color Brilliant or cold colors, to restore the actual color effect. At the same time, in addition to the video intensifier function of the movie master, it is also showing you a complete picture. And for the same price models, the BenQ W3000 can be said to be the value of choice!
