Im looking to use it for the ps3 mostly but this company seems to cater towards the home theater with hdmi inputs and such but do they work well and last long, anyone have one?
Answer
BenQ does make a very nice projector based on DLP technology. If you are subject to RBE(rainbow effect) I would suggest a LCD or LCOS based projector at a much lower price range than BenQ, but would still offer you an exceptional picture. Some of those models would be the Sony HW10, the new Panny 3000U, the Epson 1080UB and in the higher price range JVC HD1/HD100 models, Sony VW60/70. All of these are full HD projectors with the ones mentioned earlier being cheaper in price.
Good luck and enjoy.

Are there any 4k home theater projectors?
Smyth
If so, what are their advantages since Blu-ray movies are limited to 1920x1080? What are some considerations to take into account when considering one?
Answer
JVC and Meridian Audio are the only two manufacturers of which Iâm aware that are currently producing high-end â4Kâ video projectors targeted specifically for the home theater market. Sony, Barco, Christie Digital, and others are targeted for professional or commercial applications, including Digital Cinema. Pricing for the current crop of 4K (home theater) projector systems is well beyond the mainstream consumer home theater market.
âWhat are their advantages since Blu-ray movies are limited to 1920x1080?â
4K projectors designed for home theater use will upscale all non-4K video source material to 4K resolution much as high-definition TVâs, monitors, projectors, and BD players do with SDTV and DVD-Video source material. I am not aware of any commercial native 4K video content currently available to consumers.
âWhat are some considerations to take into account when considering one?â
The obvious is cost - the cost to purchase the projection system as well as the total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes maintenance, servicing, power consumption, (e.g. the JVC and the Meridian 4K projectors consume up to 1500 watts each,) thermal management, (i.e. cooling,) operating noise, and installation. Both projectors also require the use of DVI-D connectors â there are no HDMI connectors.
