I'm looking for a local place where I could find the BenQ W1210ST (or HT2150ST). Any suggestions?
Thanks :)
Thanks :)
Places to buy projectors in Beirut?
Mojitech.net or pcandparts.com
Find the cheapest and buy it.

They don't have the BenQ W1210ST. I need this exact one for the throw distance and my room setup
I am in the same boat...
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.

Guys I don't know about you, but I got myself a 70$ projector from AliExpress and it works great for movies / series on 100'' screen
In my room.
For gaming not that clear, but movies is perfect for its budget, just plug them to my home theater and you have a cinema.

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.
- 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.
The BenQ W1210ST (aka HT2150ST in USA) is their newest short-throw home model aimed for gamers, and it deals with your 3 concerns:Beej wroteI am in the same boat...

Well you have much better experience than i do, but its marketed as 16ms, it might not be true.
My current monitor is Samsung 28D590, some reviewers measure input lag as low as 15ms, others 25ms. So it all depends on the methodology of testing.
Take MKX for example, on the Samsung i can pull of combos I CANNOT do on my living room tv, duo to input lag (i am that sensitive :P).
If you ever get the projector, let us know, and good luck with your purchase.

You can see input lag tests on YouTube if you search for W1210ST or HT2150ST test
I just got the W1210ST delivered from UK. I'm very impressed. Contrast is obviously much better. Fan noise is non-existent. Now both back feet can be adjusted, older models only had one adjustable. That's a big plus for me! I haven't tested any game for input lag yet.

My relative brought it with him from London, so no shipping/taxes. He ordered it through projectorpoint.co.ukBeej wroteCongrats man...Care to share how did you ship it? And how much did it cost you?

I played Speedrunners last night. Input does feel much more responsive/faster in "Game" mode vs "cinema" mode :)
