BenQ TK850i True 4K HDR-PRO Smart Home Entertainment Projector powered by Android TV | 3000 Lumens | 98% Rec.709 | Lens shift & Keystone for Easy Setup | 3D Projector for Binge Watchers and Sports

I have been using BenQ and it was a good experience in all aspects, after 8 years of usage the projector lamp got broke .. based on good experience this time I choose this new one but I had a bad experience as loud noise and picture also not up to that which I expected with my previous experience.. finally returned..

Not so good in a light environment...But in a dark room, this bad boy puts out a beautiful image. Dont think youll find better at this price point (researched for two months before choosing this guy). My only complaint was the fan noise. At first it was a bit distracting when watching a movie, but after a few days I got use to it. Projector mounted 3 feet above my head.

We rarely use the projector, only taking it out for special occasions, and now half the screen is showing vertical lines, only 80 hours of lamp life used, but outside of 3 year warranty period. Surprised by the positive reviews, would not recommend.

Perfect for my theater room. I have a little outside light in the room and this projector has been perfect.

This review is for the “cinematic colors” model HT3550 This projector perfectly met my expectations (though it didn’t exceed them—IMHO that’s 4 stars) The picture quality is really very good for a projector at this price point. 4K projected pixels and color wheels designed for accuracy means you get a really good looking picture right out of the box. The brightness is fair but things definitely look best in a mostly dark room. It’s a top level consumer projector rather than an entry level prosumer projector: build quality is fine but underwhelming. Not the most light tight enclosure and the fan noise while acceptable is not whisper quiet. My single biggest disappointment, while not unexpected at this price point, is the chromatic aberration of the lens. High contrast edges (e.g. the white text when you pause a Netflix movie) have a blue/yellow shift, but frankly not noticeable at normal viewing distances. Was pleased to find replacement bulb prices are reasonable (in the neighborhood of $100) and as a home cinema solution I think it’s going to meet my needs really well for several years to come. If you’re looking at this review you probably already know this, but this is not for gaming or daytime sports. It’s best suited to a movie theater like environment and content.

Awesome movie projector. Amazing picture Colors. It’s like in a theatre watching movies. Wish they had bundled something for external audio for theatre like audio. I had to do my own setup with wiring on the celing.

I upgraded from a projector that I had for 11 years, it was good but only 1080P. After it died I looked on AVSforum and read a lot then decided to get this BenQ HT3550. I had to buy a new ceiling mount because this projector has a much shorter throw than my previous setup. Once I got the geometry figured out everything came together well and then connecting all the other new equipment was easy. I advise you find the documentation online to make sure this will work in your space for the size screen you want to use, to get an 85 diagonal screen to work in my case the projector could only be a little over 7 feet from the screen. Of course if you have a larger screen your setup will be different. Im enjoying streaming 4K shows and movies and watching my 4K Blu-Rays, the colors are rich and this projector performs flawlessly.

Projector is a great value for the money, however Im just now starting to see (6 or so weeks in from new) an occasional split screen like has been mentioned in forums regarding home theater and BenQ projectors. Hopefully this wont become a major problem like my last one did, but that one was a renewed projector so who knows what was fixed or not prior to sale. Would like to give 5 stars but just cant....

Benq ht3550 only lasted less than a year stopped working. Customer service from manufacturer is terrible, hard to reach. Do yourself a favor and purchase another brand.

I’m coming from an Epson Home Cinema 3500. Had it for 4-5 years and ran into the “auto iris error” which seems to be somewhat common with some Epson models. I am looking to get it repaired, however I was hoping to take the opportunity to try out a different brand while I sent my Epson in for repair. After a lot of research and watching several video reviews, I settled on the Benq HT3550. This true 4K projector looked legit and everybody raved about it. I was very excited to give it a try. I’ve never experienced light leakage from a projector before but almost everybody talked about how it was an issue in the previous model, but Benq got it right with this one. I have to tell you, in my opinion this is a pretty big deal. Call me OCD if you want but to me there’s no reason for any projector to be putting out such a distracting light border. I included a picture but please know the image cannot capture the prevalence of the border. In person, it is extremely noticeable. I marked how far out the border goes with the yellow line in the picture. You can see it better without the image on the screen, but it looks like I simply need to keystone the image and zoom in to fit the screen, right? That’s why I included the image of the picture on the screen so that you could see the image fills the screen, keystone is great, but you still have the light leakage. To be fair, my wife says that it doesn’t bother her and when you are watching something on the screen, you don’t really notice the leakage as much. However, I do notice it and it really bothers me. Have a mentioned in the review yet that I’m a little bothered by this, ha! Sorry, I just can’t explain how people are overlooking this issue. The best explanation I have read is that all DLP projectors have a little light leakage and people sort of chalk it up to being something you deal with. Bottom line is it is a superb projector and image quality for the price...IF (and it’s a big IF) you are OK with a 6 to 8 inch light border around your screen. I’m not so it’s going back. It’s really unfortunate because I was really excited about the potential of this device.
