Which to get​

I’m trying to decide between the Benq MW826ST DLP Projector and the BenQ LH710 Laser Projector, and I’d love your thoughts on which one I should go for.

The MW826ST is great for its DLP technology, which usually means sharp images and decent color accuracy. But I’m curious about the sound quality—does it have good built-in speakers, or will I need to set up external audio? Plus, I’ve heard that DLP projectors can sometimes have issues with the "rainbow effect" during fast motion scenes. Any experiences with that?

On the other hand, the LH710 really stands out with its 92% color accuracy and 4000 ANSI lumens. Sounds like it’s perfect for presentations and logos, but is that level of brightness overkill for home use? And the maintenance-free design is a huge plus. But does anyone know if laser projectors have any downsides, like potential color fading over time or other quirks?

Would love to hear your experiences and recommendations!
