    Hi Guys,

    Im looking to buy a projector in the next couple of weeks.  I bought a yamaha surround sound system last week from you guys.  I have my attic converted so the projector needs to be short throw.  I was looking at the BenQ W1070+ for ages, but i just noticed the w1080ST+ on the uk website.

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/projectors/benq/w1080st+/benq-w1080-plus

    Will you guys be getting that on the IE site to buy?  Also do you know if thats a better projector than the 1070 one?  Im not really up on my projectors, this is the first one ill be buying.  Just want to watch films in full resolution, not sure on all the technical jargon though.  Also i assume i can plug this into the yamaha YHT1810 system.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Optimus Prime.

    Thanks for coming back and hopefully you are enjoying the Yamaha system :)

    At the moment the 1080st+ is currently out of stock. There will be less than 12 due in but an eta has not been confirmed.
    The 1080st+ is now also listed as an instore only making in a non shipper and would need collected from the store if and when available.

    There is the Benq W2000 coming in at £799.00 (Better than 1070)
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-201822-w2000.aspx

    Optoma offer up the HD26 priced at £499.00 (On a par than the 1070)
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-200761-hd26.aspx

    Also the HD28DSE priced at £599.00 (On a par/better than the 1070)
    http://www.richersounds.ie/p-201708-hd28dse.aspx

    The 1070 was very popular in its time, the HSD28 was its closest rival. The HD28DSe and W2000 where not out then.

    Let me know what you think.

    Any questions drop me a post.

    Ok cool, thanks for the reply, can you help me out by telling me what the main difference is between the 1080st+ and the W2000 is?  I dont mind if i have to drive to collect the 1080 one, im more worried about getting something thats decent. Thanks

    Hey optimus Prime.

    There are a few differences.

    The W2000 has a slightly higher contrast ratio coming in at 15000:1
    The 2000 also has Lens shift:
    "A projector with lens shift can make an adjustment like this without requiring you to physically move the projector. Rather, the lens inside the projector housing is moving to create the effect"

    Either of these and you would not be disappointed.
