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

Amazing 4K/3D DHR upgrade to my home theater. Vivid picture quality at a very affordable price. We are not going back to a regular TV.

Great projector at a nice price point. No complaints at all.

Disclaimer: This is my first projector but I am very impressed overall. I was at one time planning on shelling out close to 3k for the Epsom 5050 (which does look amazing) but then I realized I had planned my home theater room without a huge throw distance from projector to screen (just under 9 feet) and I was hoping to use a 110 screen. My fears that the Epsom might not quite have the throw ratio I needed led me to look at this BenQ and Im glad I did. This BenQ isnt what they call a short throw projector but it does have a more generous throw ratio than most other regular home cinema projectors. Im pleased to say that the picture is stunning and the price saving enabled me to invest in a better amp and speakers for the room. I bought a Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player (UB 420) and it looks stunning in both 4k and 3D. It will make you want to stock up on 3D movies. I have a dark dedicated home theater in a basement and I can imagine this could struggle in a room with natural light. They also say this isnt a great projector for gaming but I have hooked up my PS4 to it and had a great experience. To be fair, Im not an online gamer where I suppose the input lag could be detrimental. However, for local gaming (1 player campaign/story or multiplayer split-screen) I dont notice any lag at all, just a big beautiful image. It has a very nice backlit remote too. I have had a few moments where I have had some glitches from the 4K Blu Ray signal and had to restart the projector but that has been my only negative. This issue might be unique to my individual unit though. Overall, I love it and I know you will too if you have a dark room, especially for the price. Update: I have since had several problems, first with my original unit and then with a replacement. Now Benq arent answering support calls or responding to emails. I know we are in the midst of a pandemic but this still isnt good enough for such a big company. Ive lost all faith in the brand. Stay away!

Even without our screen up yet it gives a very crisp, clear picture!

High CP ratio

Best one so far, have it hanging on ceiling too.

I got this projector back in Sept 19, and when I first got it, I had all the issues other had where there would be a line running through half the screen, but a firmware upgrade (which is very simple if you follow the directions on the BenQ page so you place the files on the USB drive correct, and also have the USB drive formatted properly to be detectable)), I have had no issues whatsoever. I did have a previous issue if it constantly switching between HDR and back to normal 4K, but that was because I was using a 35 HDMI cable. If you go 30 or more, you need a FIBER hdmi cable, or it will not work properly. Just remember, almost every fiber HDMI cable I have seen is unidirectional, so make sure to reach which side is source, and which side is display, so you dont have to redo all your wiring. I have had zero issues with this projector for the 1.5+ years after I made the changes above, and this projector is an absolute steal when I got it for $1500. I also would never use eco-mode for the projector, because like with eco mode on any device, it makes the performance thoroughly stink.

Brilliant Black Levels, Very short throw,Dynamic Iris is a very important add on. Lacking on Brightness. Does not support Dolby Digital/DTS Audio 5.1 on Digital Toshlink out. Ideal for small spaces but must have a for very Dark Room to enjoy. Overall its a Good Home Cinema projector.

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.

After a 45 min installation replacing my previous Epson, I struggled to get the picture formatted correctly only to eventually find out on Reddit that even though I have 16 my screen was too small for this projector as it does not have a digital shrink feature. Check your distance and screen size before ordering. I thought I did my homework as I looked at every projector I could find on the $1500-$2k range. That being said, once I moved it closer and remounted on the ceiling it works really well. The picture is so much better than my old one and switching between Bright during the day and Cinema mode at night gives me a great experience and a great picture anytime. While this is not true 4k most people will not know the difference and unless youre side by side, most likely cant tell.
