BenQ TH685

If you are just looking for 1080p then ignore that other poster saying you can't get a gaming projector. The Optoma GT1080HDR and BenQ TH685 will both deliver very pleasing 1080p HDR images upto 120hz with lag times at 16ms or less in their gaming modes. If you want 4K then it's harder and you will be limited to 60fps and some elevated lag times.

This will be a long review, as I'm trying to provide a good bit of detail to help others make a decision, but hopefully it will be worth the read. If you already know what you're looking for in a projector and just want to know the pros and cons of this one, skip to the bullets toward the end. Other...

I have had a great luck with BenQ. My TH685 developed a stuck white pixel five months in and they replaced it quite quickly. Definitely have nothing but good things to say about them.

Condition: scratch on top I researched for hours to find the right projector. The rave reviews of this projector made me feel as if I had to get it or else I’d be making a mistake. It’s really not that great 😕. I wanted a sharp and crisp picture. This falls quite short of sharp and crisp; but pleas...

BenQ TH585 - 16.4ms of input lag, and reasonably small for a lamp based projector. Not exactly "toss in your bag" small, but not huge. With that budget could do the TH685 too.

This review is particular for people who are upgrading from the HT1075. While on paper the specs on throw distance, lens and zoom ratio appear to be exactly the same, in reality the throw distance was not the same as my old HT1075 at all. I previously had a HT1075 and due to a failing fan and dust b...

Looking to purchase a mid-tier projector (sub-$700). Use is for a room with some ambient light, but also for watching some football outdoors under a covered patio/porch. In this price range, I'm looking at three in particular - the Epson 2150 ($450 refurb); BenQ TH685 ($590 refurb); Epson 3700 ($650 refurb).

I just received the HT2050A after weeks and weeks of deliberation over what to get, how much to spend, if a projector was the right thing for me, etc. To see if this review fits what you’re looking for, compare your Potential usage to what my usage was planned to be: My use case was not for dedicate...

Check out the Benq TH685. I have the Benq2050A in my dedicated theater and love it. I recently picked up a TH585 (older model of 685) for outdoor movies because it's better with ambient light.

The picture quality is awesome, it holds up well outside during the day, and at night really pops even on a 16ft screen. I would certainly recommend this product baring a couple of very minor considerations. On picture quality I give it an emphatic 5 stars. Read below for a few lessons learned and o...
