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

Pros Good picture quality and contrast. Good value at this price point. Cons Only for dark room experience even small bulbs can cause corners to brush and colours go fade. Quite bulky hence need professional service to do the mounting. Speakers are functional dint particularly like it. Would recommend only for those who wants to make serious home theatre setup in a dedicated dark room.

This was the best economically priced 4k projector I have bought. The picture quality this projector lens puts out is simply impeccable and enjoyable to watch on a big screen. Plus I love that both hdmi ports are 2.2 hdmi quality

First of all I would like to say to all those who are new to projectors to do your research before one. This is my 5th one and I learn something new that I didnt know with the prior one. I started with a 720p ViewSonic and despite its lack of technical and features it actually had the most lumens . This Ben q rivals my ViewSonic with brightness and thats a welcome addition. Placement of your projector is super important as well and I learned that the hard way. The farther away you place your projector from your screen the less brighter the image. This Ben q is replacing my Epson 8345 that has 1600 lumens. Its only recommended for dark rooms with very little light coming in but the Ben q with double the lumens can be used with the lights on and even a curtainless window during the day! Im not a technical guy when it comes to number and side by side comparisons detecting the smallest flaw in an image . I look at out of the box picture quality and the 3550 in my view delivers!

If you are looking for a 4K projector but dont want to pay a ton this is the one for you. Great picture! It is above our heads- it is a bit noisy but nothing that is a game changer- It gets really hot too. Other than those two things great projector for the money.

I upgraded from the HT2550 I bought last year and I could not be happier. The HT2550 was a great intro to bringing affordable 4K projectors to the home but BenQ has outdone themselves with the new HT3550!!! Picture quality has improved vastly which is didn’t think was possible. This unit TRULY rivals the theater in ever way and that makes me happy to say as a lifelong cinephile. This is DREAM of a machine. Colors and clarity and unreal for a projector. Literally looks like I’m watching a giant Samsung or LG flat panel. Also throwing in the smooth motion feature has been one of my favorite additions. I get why some people aren’t a fan, and it definitely doesn’t work for all movies/shows. But throwing this feature on low goes that much future to improving the immersion of the whole experience. The smoothness brings LIFE to the picture in a unique way. BenQ must have updated the sound card as well because there much more clarity, space and deeper bass coming from this unit. My only gripe is that I can’t switch between sound modes. My “Sound Mode” feature is basically greyed out and stays on the default setting. It’s fine because it still sounds great but I’d love to test out the other modes as well. The unit is much fast that the HT2550 as well. Handshakes faster and menus aren’t as sluggish. This is a TRUE a cinematic experience for your home. For this price I can’t see it getting any better. Thanks BenQ!!!

This was the projector Ive been waiting for . Got the Epson 8350 seven years ago, still works great. Replaced the bulb twice but now was the time to upgrade. It was very quiet located in the back of my movie room. Opened the HT3550 with much anticipation, mounted it on the ceiling but due to the limited throw rate, it had to be mounted right over my first row of theater chairs. I have a 92 screen. So disappointed with the loud fan noise overhead. Loved the excellent picture quality, especially the black level . Anyway thought I could live with the fan noise and went through normal setup but about one hour into the process the bulb shut down, projector turned off and the red TEMP or LAMP light came on. Called Benq tech support and was told that should not happen to a new HT3550. So I reluctantly returned the projector for a very quick exchange from Amazon. Thank you. Set up the second HT3550 and started watching movies. This time about two hours into the viewing, the bulb just turned off without the TEMP or LAMP light coming on. Green power light was still on. I let the projector cool down and when I turned it back on it worked fine. Watched two more movies that evening and everything went well. However, the next day, when I tried to turn on the projector, I could not get the HT3550 to turn on. Yes, the green light(s) were on so I knew I had power. Tried everything using the remote and the projector panel. Went through every troubleshooting suggestion I could find. Never could get the projector to turn on. Checked all wiring just to be sure. So I returned the replacement projector.

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

I like it

Worst electronic part I ever purchased, projector went bad in less than 6 months. Ha F screen is all shaded dark

Picture quality is great and setup is easy.
