Projector use

[Deleted member 2457]

I am finding I am only watching my BenQ projector now and my TV is increasingly becoming redundant. I watch Sky through the projector, YouTube, Blu-rays etc and the sound all through my home cinema system. How can You tell how many hours your projector does also if it’s in economy mode or not? Thanks

Ok I have found hours of usage which is 39 hours and it’s in normal mode at present, I have no idea how to try economy mode though?

Ok I have found the economy settings by reading the manual online 🙂 You have to press the light mode on the remote control. Smart Economy is my favourite setting and according to something I just read this mode lasts for up to 15,000 hours - far out! 👍

This is why it’s brighter:

The eco mode is much darker than SmartEco mode. Is it normal?

So I got 15,000 hours use:

BenQ's game-changing W5700 projector left us impressed by its abilities when we reviewed it earlier this year. Now it's time to put its little brother, the £1399 W2700 True 4K DLP Projector through its paces.

Thats good and very good because the rate I am watching it I will need a lot of hours. Sorted all my problems by myself! 😛

I will pose the question what should I do with my TV now though?

Doesn’t look like Sony are going to replace the Sony 270es 4K native Projector in the near future:
