BenQ HT1085ST

Projector is a bargain BenQ HT1085ST ($85 shipped) and the screen is the 120inch spandex screen from Amazon sold by StretchScreenUSA. I love it and it's been great outside - nice to find a way to use it indoors. The projector is a new acquisition, but looking forward to using it!.

So Ive had this projector for approx 10 months. Great pic, tho really struggles with any ambient light, but other than that have had really no major complaints especially for the price. HOWEVER, maybe I am missing something but how does this not have a removable and/or cleanable air filter. In 10 mo...

They are cheap to make and sell, but the intense LED light typically will cause burn marks on the LCD within a year or so. One note - for some reason LED based DLP projectors do not seem to have the same Rainbow Effect, at least in my experience. I can definitely see RE on my BenQ HT1085ST if I move my head too fast, but in general it doesn't bother me at all.

Let me start off by saying that as a product designed around a price point, the BenQ HT1085ST hits the mark. After trying a few other options at this price point (1080p projectors < $1000) I think I made the right decision. That said, my expectations were probably too high. This is definitely a cons...

I live in a south-facing apartment with a large window wall, and from 2016 to 2021 I used a BenQ HT1085ST on my coffee table to project a 120" picture onto my Elite Screens manual pull-down screen. The screen is mounted on 6" L-brackets, which allows the screen to be pulled down over a display rack attached to the living room wall.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I am currently using this projector situated on a small table about five feet away from a 100" Silver Ticket Projector Screen (white material) in a light controlled room. The picture quality is absolutely fantastic. Colors are rich, blacks are deep and tones ar...

I mean it took me a while but I bought a BenQ HT1085St for $85 shipped. And then a new lamp for another $85. I guarantee it will run rings around either of those projectors. While they aren't super easy to find there are definitely bargain projectors out there - hell it you settle for a WXGA projector you can easily source a real one for under $100.

Have a standard projector for outdoor movie nights and needed something that was short throw to use in my sun room over the winter months when we could not watch movies outdoors in the cold. Purchased the HT1085ST based on reviews and recommendations. I do like the flexibility that the keystone adju...

From 4 or 5 ft if you have room for a bigger picture you will want a short throw projector like an HT2150st, or an older one like A HT1085ST. You can get around 100 inches from 5 ft away with one of those.

Pros - Beautiful video output. Quiet operation. Great 3d. Huge picture in small space (throwing 122 inches from 8 feet.) Cons - Only a 3.5 mm audio output. No lens shift. Some light bleeding from the sides of the image when Keystone is used, ***UPDATE*** I have taken this projector with me into a ne...
