    Hi,

    Just wondering if you stock this particular model (BenQ W1070). It's getting pretty good reviews all over the web, but I can only see W1200 on your .co.uk site.

    And if you do stock it, what is it selling for? (I can collect from Belfast if you have it in stock)

    Thanks a million!

    Positron,

    thanks a million for the opportunity to quote - we don't currently stock the W1070 but I've asked our purchasing guys if we can grab one and as soon as I get a response I'll revert to you..

    Thanks again and keep me posted if we can assist,

    ATVB,

    That would be great, and thank you for the quick and helpful feedback John.

    PS: Just to give you all the insider info / competition advantage etc up front -- the best price I saw online for BenQ W1070 from a European source (which I believe you usually attempt to price match or better) is around 682 euro + 10 euro shipping. I can PM you the site / link if you want me to? And for comparison, Amazon.co.uk lists the same projector for around £680 sterling, and at RicherSounds UK W1200, which is different but similarly featured (as far as I can tell) projector is listed for £900+.

    Positron,

    as soon as I get some news on the 1070 I'll have a look but we don't normally price beat special orders - on the positive side though if you were interested in the W1200 I'd happily knock a (few) quid off on a Boardie special..

    Thanks again and I'll keep you posted,

    ATVB,

    this is available on your website now.

    Have you any opinion of this projector?

    Is it worth spending a bit extra on one of the others in store, eg the benq w1200, optoma hd33??

    Quick correction to what I said earlier John@RS, the €682 price now shows BenQ W1060, and the cheapest W1070 now I can see is around 750, which is also showing temporarily out of stock.

    As eamondunhpy mentioned above, RS.co.uk now lists W1070 for £699.95 - it's decent price indeed. Thanks John. My small fund has temporarily been diverted to something else in the meantime, but I hope to come back here if I ever buy one.

    John is this now in stock? If not what's the lead time on ordering one?

    Guys apologies for the delay getting back to you. (esp Positron!):o

    I have not played with the 1070 personally - but they are back in stock in limited quantities at £699.95 and by all accounts they really are a cracking projector for the money!

    I should have some stock locally within the week and we will crack one and give it a spin!

    I'll do free delivery on the 1070 as well for Boardies if anyone would like to grab one..

    Barry,

    thanks for the post - the in-store retail has dropped no problem but we are really low on stock at the moment - I'll get on to our UK cousins this morning and see if there is any free stock floating around that I can nab and get back to you asap. (good spotting BTW!)

    As soon as we get stock - there is no problem on the price - we always match the UK product pricing.. 

    Thanks again,

    John Mc & Crew

    Guys,

    apologies for the delay - best advice I can get so far is that we will def have them in Feb - I'm trying to tie a delivery date down a bit tighter and I'll keep you posted but I'll throw in free shipping for the delay and your patience!

    Thanks and keep me posted if we can assist,

    Hi Barry,

    I've found some newer 1.3 rated HDMI cables have been fine with 3D.  If you're going to be running the projector from an amp I'd recommend upgrading to a 1.4 cable for the 3D pass through on the amp.

    I'll chase John when he's back in the office on delivery dates.

    Chris
