Pros:
1. Great Contrast.
2. One of the least expensive projectors with lens shift.
Cons:
1. Not the brightest projector out there.
2. Only has a 2000 hour bulb.
Consider the Mitsubishi HC1500 or the Panasonic PT-AX200 instead and be sure to read my reviews on them too.
Hope this helps get your RealHomeTheaters off the ground!

bought the projector, find out it shuts down for no reason for random amounts of time. Tried to swap it for a working one, but Tiger Direct would only let me return it and buy a new one- and oh by the way it costs 10% more now! Im not happy to be penalized for having bought a defective machine. Pursuing this with BenQ now.

The BenQ w500 home theater projector truly lived up to my expectations of how movies and HD television should be experienced. Upscaled DVDs look incredible and although LCD technology cant quite reach the black levels of DLP, it by no means detracts from my enjoyment of this projector. My home theater seating is approximately 11 feet away from 108" diagonal screen with the only notable "screen door effect" (visible pixels) showing up with some text, although I think that may also be the result of mpeg compression artifacts. Besides the outstanding value this proector offers in upfront cost, the replacement bulbs are considerably less expensive than competing projectors in this segment. As with all home theater projectors you do need to control the room lighting for the best viewing experience, but I would not hesitate to highly suggest the BenQ w500 make your short list when in the market for a home theater projector.
