Ask me about my lego spheres!
I'm looking for a new projector, for around €600, for watching movies / TV from my laptop. I currently have a pretty crappy Optoma business projector which has been doing the job for the past couple of years. I have a shelf perfectly positioned at the back of my living room on which the projector sits and projects onto the white wall opposite (about 3 metres away).

The BenQ W1070 looks great for my requirements, with one exception: the shelf I can put the projector on is only 26cm deep, and the BenQ is 24cm deep with all the ports on the back...Can you recommend either a slightly less deep projector, or one with the power and connection ports on the side?

Are there any new exciting projectors on the horizon to usurp the BenQ W1070/HT1075's throne? I've started to get used the insanely quick product cycles of laptops, mobile phones, etc, but from what I can tell the projector market isn't so fast-moving. Is that true?

King Hotpants, have you had the chance to review the Sony Ultra Short Throw Projector yet?

It looks insane. I have a hard time believing it's a real thing.

Edit: Oh God the "concept video" is terrible https://www.youtube.com/video/2CZmEx2AqPE
