Projector Reviews

r/projectors

 If I had more, it would become another sore point.  *** Original *** This review is about the BenQ TK850. It's worth noting that here on Amazon, reviews for the TK850 and similar BenQ HT3550 are intermixed. The TK850 is significantly brighter, while the HT3550 is a lower-lumen, more color-accurate projector

BenQ TK850:  A good, not great, collection of compromises

 It's just not as bright as the HT 2050. Now I know that the colors are more accurate and that's a sacrifice you make, but in my situation where I have a window nearby, it's kind of handy to have those extra lumens. Another thing that I really liked about the HT 2050 was that it had a smart eco mode, which helped the bulb last longer and it was able to adjust based on the scenario and the scene and it would make it brighter and less bright depending on the scene. Now smart eco on this doesn't seem to work as well

 This does have a higher contrast ratio than the HT2050 that I had because this does have dynamic iris that can lead to more contrast, darker blacks. But also in this case, you can also notice that when the dynamic iris is on, it also allows certain scenes to be brighter. Another thing that's very noticeable on this is when I played Avengers Infinity War and it switched to HDR mode, in this case it's HDR10, I definitely noticed a difference in the pop, in the colors and the amount of colors and the vibrance. And that is more noticeable to me than the higher resolution

 So I'm just going to go ahead and list some pros and cons as I see it. So at first I thought that the 4K was going to be the most important thing because you know, more resolution, the better, right? Well, what I found out was that from my viewing distance with projectors in general, the resolution is not as important as other factors such as contrast ratio. This does have a higher contrast ratio than the HT2050 that I had because this does have dynamic iris that can lead to more contrast, darker blacks. But also in this case, you can also notice that when the dynamic iris is on, it also allows certain scenes to be brighter

 If you look at the specs, it's somewhere between two and three decibels, which is significant. The other thing I noticed is that this projector is just not as bright. It's just not as bright as the HT 2050. Now I know that the colors are more accurate and that's a sacrifice you make, but in my situation where I have a window nearby, it's kind of handy to have those extra lumens

BenQ HT3550 Review vs. BenQ HT2050 | HDR is More Impressive than 4K

709 coverage, and 95% DCI-P3 color coverage. And this thing can produce a 100 inch screen from just over 8 feet away, making it one of the shortest throw ceiling mount 4K projectors we've seen. Another feature that makes this stand out from the rest, even though BenQ's product page doesn't really mention it, is the addition of 3D for all you leftover 3D fans out there. It actually displays 3D in 1080p instead of downscaling it to 1080i like some other 4K projectors

It actually displays 3D in 1080p instead of downscaling it to 1080i like some other 4K projectors. It does dim the picture down a little bit as expected, but the 3D effect was nice and sharp. Another unique feature is dynamic iris

BenQ HT3550 Review - 4K HDR Home Theater Projector (2019)

 So before we go onto the main advantages and the summary remember to hit the red button and subscribe because the next video we'll do is this, the BenQ BK800. And this is a slightly cheaper 4K model but it will give you a very good comparison compared to this which is the BenQ W2700. Now the main advantages of this machine are the colour production, the fact that it has that auto HDR10. The pre-calibration for the setup and the report it gives you is a really nice touch and if you still use 3D then this 3D is pretty good

BenQ W2700i / HT3550i is the New Intelligent Projector with Android TV

 The most noticeable differences were the deeper blacks and the contrast of the Epson. Both were far better on the Epson. The 3550 had decent black levels, but nothing like the Epson. What the 3550 does have is outstanding resolution

 To my eyes, in a direct side by side, scene foreseen comparison, the Epson was softer. And that was actually the determining factor for me. Resolution. The 3550, it had a cleaner, crisper, clearer image

 Resolution. The 3550, it had a cleaner, crisper, clearer image. The 5050 looks great in terms of contrast and black levels, but the resolution of the BenQ was so much better. The Epson's contrast and black levels, they just weren't worth more than twice the money

Benq HT3550 Review

 The first thing, wide accurate color. By using a six segment color wheel, it can provide a wider color gamut. In fact, the projector comes color calibrated from the factory and you even get a little sheet that shows the performance of your individual projector. This unit also offers great blacks because it is one of the least expensive projectors that I have seen that actually includes a dynamic iris

 So a lot of projectors just still are in the mindset of being passive devices. They just give me content, give me content versus reality is we have a computer in these things. We have memory. We have the ability to do this

 Starting with the HT3550i, i indicates that the projector has smarts built in. So it has Android TV and all of the functionality that makes an HT3550 great. The first thing, wide accurate color. By using a six segment color wheel, it can provide a wider color gamut

Twelve Days of Projection - BenQ HT3550i, TK850i, TH685i

 All you have to do just unscrew or screw those little legs to change the angle and basically you can set up the proper horizon level and it's very simple and straightforward to do making this thing very easy to install, which I think is a very fantastic feature. You no longer have to put magazine or some kind of newspaper under one angle to kind of tilt the picture a little bit. So installation of this thing is very straightforward and very simple. I hope you guys enjoyed this video

 And speaking of adjustments, this is easily one of the most versatile projectors I've ever reviewed on the channel. Not only does it have a motorized lens as I mentioned, but it allows huge vertical and horizontal lens shift adjustments. So for instance, you could technically put this projector in the back corner of your room and use horizontal lens shift to move the image over to the screen without using Keystone. and it offers so much vertical Lin shift that you don't even have to mount it to the ceiling

 and going back to the features of this projector, this brings me to my next point which is Hdmi Cec. So this projector has one of the best implementations of Hdmi Cec that I've seen on a projector and by best implementation I mean that it simply has it and it works. I Don't know why every projector doesn't have this, considering how convenient it is. Okay, so now I know you're probably thinking I'm an Epson fanboy now and that this projector doesn't have any flaws

 all right. As far as ports on the back, you're gonna have an optical HDMI port so that's basically going to be a USB port that you're gonna use if you're using an optical cable. You also get two HDMI 2.0 ports which is really nice so it now supports 4k HDR at 60 frames per second, a USB type a port that you can use for power service port, a land port that can be used to control the projector remotely, a VGA port Rs-232 and a 12-volt trigger

 in a box you get a QuickStart guide, a backlit remote, batteries, a power cord, and of course the projector. and I Do have to say that I like the design of this projector. the only thing I'd like to change is that it be black instead of white but you have to spend another thousand dollars for the 60 50 you betta get a black body on the front. You have your lens IR sensor and your vents and what's nice is that the lens has a built-in motorized lens cover that automatically opens and closes when you turn the projector on or off

 So one thing that I didn't like about the auto iris on some of the DLP projectors was that the lamp dimming was too slow and it was really noticeable. But the auto iris on this projector was fast enough that I didn't find it too distracting. and going back to the features of this projector, this brings me to my next point which is Hdmi Cec. So this projector has one of the best implementations of Hdmi Cec that I've seen on a projector and by best implementation I mean that it simply has it and it works

Epson 5050ub Review - The Best Projector For 4K Gaming

The space is a lot quieter and feels more open. I don't completely love the visual placement of the surrounds, but they sound great and out of the kid's reach. Equipment:. • Epson 5050ub on 100" - upgrade from BenQ HT2150st

This is a great room, but don't break the bank.  u/biciklanto had the right idea with his comment. 

Just for context/consideration, I am doing a reno in my house and putting in a *budget* home theater. Gave myself a budget of \~$2k for audio and \~2k for visual. For that, will I get a *truly showstopping* home theater? No. But will it be enough to impress any and all of my friends and provide endless hours of entertainment for me and my family? Hell yeah. 

There's lots of ratings sites and opinionated people online, but the best advice I can give is to *build a setup that gives* ***YOU*** *what you want/need.* Don't build something for the keyboard warriors or AV salesmen that costs more than you want. Past a certain level of investment, and the differences in quality with sound can *literally* be difficult for most to hear. And yet, for that barely-perceptible difference, you might pay an extra grand. Crazy. 

Anyway, here's what I went with:

* Due to my room size and intended use (with pretty frequent ambient light), I went with a 75" 4k TV instead of a projector. With your room, go projector. I can't weigh in on that. 
* Because I've got young kids I went with an in-wall setup (nothing for them to knock over or tamper with). 
* In wall left and right -  Monolith THX-365IW
* In wall Center - Monolith THX-LCR
* Receiver - Denon AVR-X2600H 
* Saving up for a decent subwoofer

Note: this is a 3.1 system, so not "surround sound", but it's a 10ft room and a 3.1 setup will *work for me* and provide plenty of clear audio. I also installed in-wall speaker cable that will enable me to upgrade to full surround in subsequent years. You CAN phase investment in home theater stuff! 

Best of luck. All this detail can be super overwhelming - don't make any snap decisions.

I would probably spend a little more and go with: 

- JBL Synthesis SCL-6 ($1,500 ea.) In-wall L/C/R behind an A/T screen to keep it looking nice and tidy (and very high performance). Cheap out a bit on overheads and surrounds if required (but not too much). Monolith THX in-walls are a great alternative to JBL Synthesis for a low cost in-wall option.

- Denon AVR-X 3700 would be a good place to start (eventually adding a Monolith amp if you think you need more power)

- Rythmik, SVS, Monolith subwoofers (X2) 

- Epson and Optoma make pretty decent projectors at good price points. The JVC is definitely better though. 

Lots of options out there, I just think a dedicated room like that is better off with hidden speakers. Also paint the ceiling matte black for increased performance.

Given the screen is wide, I’d go with a jvc and anamorphic lens, before I’d go with the Sony.  Sony panels lose contrast over time too.

New house came with a theater room minus speakers and projector

I recently picked up the Epson 5050ub and couldn't be happier with it. Outside of your listed budget range but lower models like 3200/3800 should offer similar performance. I coupled mine with an Amazon fire Cube with dual Echo Studio speakers and the combination is the perfect setup for outdoor movie nights.

Hello all.  I'm looking for a projector to upgrade my backyard summer movie series.  We did this last summer with the virus going on and it was a big hit.  That was with a $20 100" screen from Amazon and a SVGA projector I borrowed from work.  This year I'm upgrading to a 300" screen and want a projector that can fill that surface with enough light.

I have a few 1080p, 3k-4k lumen candidates picked out, but some recs from this community would be appreciated.

One special request is to have a projector with Bluetooth audio output built in (the audio system is just a big BT speaker under the screen).  I realize I can do this with a BT audio dongle and pretty much any projector, but it would be a nicety for it to be built into the projector to simplify setup/teardown.

Per the wiki's information requirements:

1. Budget: $1000

2. Screen size: 300"

3. Distance from proj to screen: could be any distance pretty much.  5 ft or 50

4. Seating distance to screen: whatever's comfortable for a 300" screen

5. Mount: rear shelf or ladder

6. Room type: outside

7. Ambient light: very little, night (or maybe dusk)

8. Room colors: N/A

Special request: Bluetooth audio transmission

Thanks!
