I checked locally and contacted the official Benq retailer in lebanon
www.sistechnology-lb.com (according to Benq website). They don't have it in stock. So I asked a relative to deliver it from UK.

Its either Optoma gt1080, BenQ W1210ST, or Benq w1070. My main concern is 1st and foremost, input lag. Yes Benq market the Benq w1070 as 16.7 ms, but that is not true (different methodology in testing input lag). 2nd concern is fan noise, as some have really high speed fans to cool the lamp. and 3rd is the lumens, the higher the better.
Gaming tests usually are done with consoles and not pc, and they test just FPS games, but what about fighting games...Gaming projectors almost dont exist in Lebanon as it is. If you find one, please let us know and a small tests would be appreciated.
The BenQ W1210ST (aka HT2150ST in USA) is their newest short-throw home model aimed for gamers, and it deals with your 3 concerns:
- Rapid 16 ms input lag
- Low fan noise
- And 2200 lumens combined with 15000:1 contrast (compared to older models: W1070 and W1080ST 2000 lumens and 10000:1 contrast)
PS I owned both W1080ST and HT1085ST in the last years. They both died, W1210ST will be my third projector.
