Our Verdict

BenQ TH671ST

Epson Home Cinema 1080

The Epson Home Cinema 1080 and BenQ TH671ST excel in different room contexts. The Epson is significantly brighter and looks better in rooms with lights, while the BenQ has better contrast, so it performs better in dark rooms. The Epson has Wi-Fi and integrated casting support, making it easier to use out of the box than the barebones BenQ. Overall, if you're mostly watching movies in dark rooms then the BenQ is a bit better, otherwise the Epson is brighter and easier to place in a variety of rooms.
