BenQ W500 Home Cinema Projector Review

I thought about a projector for a long time and finally decided upon this one based on it's lens-shifting capabilities (I was also looking at the Mitsubishi 1500). I have a low ceiling and thought that the Misubishi's fixed lens might be difficult to use properly. This is my first projector and I've logged ~50 hours so far between games, movies, and general computer usage. It has far exceeded all my expectations.
Setup was simple. I took it out of the box, plugged it in, shut the lights off, and turned it on. I then was able to focus, zoom, and shift as appropriate with ease. I'm currently running this with an image just shy of 120" on a wood textured gray wall which I thought would be terrible for projecting on and it looks excellent. I can't wait to mount it permanently and get a screen which I would bet will enhance the experience that much more. I'll probably update later with pictures and further thoughts.
The only con I can think of currently is that it only has 1 HDMI port. But I knew that going in and there's all sorts of methods to work around that. After reading the few reviews on Amazon I kind of think they are written by people who are reviewing this based on its specs, without actually having seen or used the projector.
In short this projector has done nothing but impress me from the first minute and I can only hope that it will continue to do so. All my friends and relatives who have seen it so far are in awe, and several are now considering purchasing a projector. This is an excellent entry-level high def projector with a ton of features for a great price.
If you're like me and you have been looking at this projector for a while and have been hesitant, do yourself a favor and buy it. It's doing everything I had hoped it would do and more.

The W500 features an iris-like lens design that mimics our own eye, adjusting the aperture after analyzing the incoming video signal. The aperture is contracted during dark scenes for truer black tones and enhanced detail, while it is enlarged for bright scenes to maximize light output and enable a wider dynamic range. No matter what type of content is on, the W500 ensures that you get the very best viewing experience. The W500 not only converts SD content such as analog TV broadcasts to HD-quality video, but it analyzes an amazing 1,024 pixels in the source for each pixel in the final HD version for native HD-like picture quality.
