Benq W2700 or W5700

[Firestar_3x]

Looking at upgrading the cinema room, been running an Optoma HD25 for 6 years now and looking to shift the whole setup to "4k".

The W5700 has a 1k price premium vs the W2700, is it worth the extra?

@lucid have you seen these projectors in person any worthy alternatives around this price point?

Went with the W5700 in the end, turns up tomorrow along with an Onkyo TX-RZ740 and Sony UBP-X700.

Looking forward to using Atmos at last in a 5.1.4 config, hopefully 3.5k well spent!

Very happy overall, colour reproduction and black levels look great to my eyes, no issues with a light border from the sensor, i have a dedicated matt black light controlled room, i'm not sure the W5700 would be that great in a lighter colored room.

I do have one issue with the dynamic iris being loud, it is a firmware fault and needs to go back for a firmware update at some point.

I was going to buy the W2700 at first, it is an excellent projector but i knew i'd always be wondering how much better the W5700 was given the location i intended to use it so that was really what made me decide in the end.
