    Benq 1070 overheating problem

    My Benq 1070 has started getting very hot and turns itself off after 40 minutes or so. How do I rectify this problem - I don't think its the lamp as the it hasn't had that much use. Is it repairable? What is the modern day equivalent of a Benq 1070 if I do need to change it - happy with 1080P...

    Problem with Benq 1070+

    Thanks for the link to the post - it was very interesting. I went to the hidden menu and found that unlike the post above it wasn't fan 1 - it was fan 2. It had failed 4 times. I started by clearing the faults and doing a hard reset and that seems to have worked. It is shutting down properly...

    Problem with Benq 1070+

    I have a Benq 1070+ in a small bedroom and it has been an excellent projector - great pic and it runs quietly as I sit right beside it. Last night after five minutes of use the fan suddenly revved up and then it shut down. There were two red lights flashing. I let it cool down and tried...

    Recommendations needed for a 43" tv to play PS5 and Xbox Series X

    Just an update in case anyone is interested - I bought the 50" X85J - its perfect for gaming- Spiderman Miles Morales on PS5 and Halon Infinite on Series S look amazing. I know I was after a gaming TV and that is exactly what I got but I'd prefer my Samsung 8500 for movies - I hate the soap...

    Recommendations needed for a 43" tv to play PS5 and Xbox Series X

    Just noticed that the 50" is only 80 euro dearer in currys so I'm going to go for that as I have the room. Thanks for the info regarding the difference between the Sony and the Samsung. I'm going out now to get the X85J - Thanks again.

    Recommendations needed for a 43" tv to play PS5 and Xbox Series X

    Thanks - I had planned on getting the Samsung 32 T5300 this morning and as I'm an older gamer sometimes I like to hook up my original Xbox or ps2 to my gaming tv and play old-school games. The T5300 has component so I assumed most new TVs had just dropped scart and kept component/composite. I...

    Sonos Beam or Yamaha 400 Bar

    Thanks - I didn’t know that. Would I get better sound if I rented a movie on iTunes than if I watched the same movie on Netflix or Prime? Thanks

    Sonos Beam or Yamaha 400 Bar

    Okay so after much research - I decided that the Sony HT700 would best suit my needs. The What Hi-Fi review said it was good for cinema and that's all I need it for. I checked stock in local shops and found Harvey Norman had it reduced to 350 so I bought it. I have to say I am delighted...

    Sonos Beam or Yamaha 400 Bar

    Would it be foolish to spend more on a soundbar like the arc than I did on my Samsung TU8500 and with the arc in a small room would I still need a sub to enjoy movies? Thanks
