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

We were so excited to have a family movie night. The projector does an amazing job. Then it wouldnt stay on. Kept shutting off. Flashing temp? Its Oregon and september so we have 55 degree nights and its not remotely hot. Tech support was helpful but pointless. Telling me to try this and that. Nothing worked. Im hoping we just got a lemon. Im returning it and if the next one does well Ill change my review.

Let me preface this by saying that I purchased this unit used with 28 hours on the lamp. First of all, I have no idea why the original owner gave up on this unit but...thank you. Ive been using a Mitsubishi HC4000 HD projector for the past few years, always thought the picture was pretty good...not!!! After hooking this unit up, calibrating to my liking, which by the way turned out to be very close to the original settings, so not much work here. I happened to purchase a used Epson 6020UB the same day. Ill be running the Epson in my bedroom and the Ben Q in my theater room. Hooked up both units in my theater room to start. Right off the bat, I noticed the black levels on the Epson were richer and deeper, the picture quality on both units were far and away a major improvement over the Mitsubishi. . Im using a basic pull-down 110 screen, first off, I want to know what those thousand dollar projection screens do that this $100 unit doesnt do. The picture is fantastic with both projectors. Would I spend and extra 2K for the slight improvement the Epson provides, probably not. I purchased both units used. I paid $1100 for the BenQ and wait for it...$600 for the Epson. The BenQ? If I didnt have the Epson for comparison the Ben Q meets all my needs, incredible picture, fantastic price. If price is no object the Epson is the overall better unit, my recommendation would be is to take the time and search for the Epson unit on the used marketplace. Dont get me wrong the BenQ is an amazing unit, its just the black levels on the Epson that gave it the advantage. Update: A couple of things I wanted to mention. I played with the picture adjustments and improved the black levels significantly, still not quite what the Epson is but very close. I also wanted to mention that I read a couple of reviews that stated the projector doesnt do well in rooms with ambient light. I have to disagree, my room has light bleeding in from three windows (yes, blinds are closed) and see almost no difference between watching in daytime or nighttime. I dont know what kind of light these folks have in their rooms but I havent seen a projector yet that works in a well-lit room. Close a blind or two, you may just be amazed. The only issue I have with the Epson is going to sound a little strange but, it may be too bright. I only watch in my bedroom at night so the room is totally dark, I seem to suffer from eye strain if I watch for too long (yes, Ive tried making adjustments). I need to find an acceptable lighting solution for the room that wont interfere with watching the tv. I find the light output of the BenQ at 2000 lumens is preferable to the Epsons at 2400 lumens. Im curious though, I almost purchased the BenQ TK850 due to its 3000-lumen rating, based on my experience with these two projectors, Im glad I decided on the HT3550, Im afraid my eyes would not appreciate the extra brightness of the TK850.

This is an awesome projector the black levels really shine on this. as well is the color and brightness!

Powers on. Orange light goes to green flashing. Then steady. Annnndddd..... nothing. No light, no engine, no sound. And.... No manual, just a quick start guide. So no clue as to whats happening. First projector experience. Did a lot of research. What a bust. Ill call them during work hours, but seems like i got a $1500 lemon out of the box. Unless the lamp takes hours to warm up. Days later - So they haven’t Sent a replacement and I’m 1400 out of pocket. The lemon shipped at a cost of $25 to me last week. I was told they wouldn’t wait to ship replacement

Absolutely LOVE this projector. However, the bulb/lamp burned out after only a few hours of use. Luckily it was within the return period so Amazon replaced it with a new one.

This unit works great! I repainted my wall with Screen paint I received from Home Depot and the picture quality is comparable to my LG OLED TV. Cant be happier with this purchase!!

Major set back is 3D. Yes it supports 3D but if you have ripped all your blue Ray to USB drive and have it in half SBS, you cant play it using media reader as the aspect ratio cannot be adjusted. If you have roku and use roku media reader, the projector wont detect 3D content and the button will be grayed out and no way to turn it on. If you try from remote - direct 3D, it will switch back to 2D and its a big no go. Benq cheap projectors allow you to use 3D manually but this one work. Have to return as its no go for me. Will look for laser projector at this price point.

My friend and I have an expression when we see or hear something spectacular. Its, Hold it, Hold it, Hold it! Folks, this is about one of the best kept secrets in home theater or home entertainment! I dont think there are any words in the dictionary to express the picture quality and price of this unit! People, tbe Benq ht3550 is a True 4K unit. It does not Pixel Shift like other projectors are built to do to trick the eyes for 4k imaging. Benq calibrates this unit at the factory, colors and all to ISF (Imaging and Science Foundation) and cinematic standards the way the producers meant them to be seen. This unit ROCKS! and even has a longer lasting bulb than other units. It is about 1.30% larger in size of the Benq w1070. What sold me on the unit was the purchase of the Benq ht8050 I installed in my parents home in Colorado. We were watching the 4K version of The Lion King in a 120 screen and I fell out of my chair when I saw the immense clarity of the ht8050 that does not even have Dynamic Range. Its a huge unit and required blocking between the rafters to center it. The ht3550 I have is light in comparison and has Dynamic Range! Excellant, excellent unit and I highly recommend that people purchase this unit!!

I’ve had this projector for a few months, and when playing HDR content HDR will frequently be split screen right down the center. Basically one side will be HDR and the other side will not. I have to stop the content and restart it in order for it to work correctly. There is a loud click as the HDR turns itself off and another as it turns on again. It is connected to a Sony receiver and an Nvidia Shield, but also happens when playing HDR content on PS4. Ive emailed support lets see what they say. Update: BenQ replaced with an RMA, but now the replacement is showing the same signs, and last night one of the HDMI ports stopped working. Update 2: I got a hold of support and they sent me another one. Heres hoping this is the last one. At this point I cant recommended this model and BenQ is super hard to get a hold of.

I encounter different issue that make viewing not enjoyable so I returned it. The video will randomly dropped but I still hear the sound thru the projector. This projector also turn off by itself twice.
