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

Great looking projector Im in the process of building a home theater. This will be the first one Ive put together and I agonized over which projector I was going to buy for a long time. Lamp or laser? Did I need 4k? What about HDR? Was LG a better choice or Optoma? Eventually, I read a very detailed review of the upcoming BenQ HT3550 that made it sound really great. It had the specs I wanted and it was right in my price range, so I made the leap and ordered one. It took about 3 weeks to arrive but I finally got it on Friday. I got it set up fired it up to make sure it works. Everything works great, setup was very easy, and it looks absolutely stunning. The picture is really extraordinary and the colors are fantastic. Its very quiet. And since I didnt have my surround sound system fully set up, I just used the internal speakers and those even sound pretty decent. All in all, this is a fantastic value for the money and I highly recommend it.

We purchased this for our boys for their Man Cave . As they would put it... this is LIT... We ran out of wall space, so Im sure it could project larger.... the 150 projection is magnificent. No need to turn the lights out to see...

Using this in a room with no windows, picture is bright, colorful and was easy to install and set up.

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.

This is a great buy for the money. Its not the brightest projector, but in a truly dark room it cant be beat at this price point.

The picture doesn’t do it justice! The sharpness of the image and the sound is fantastic! We just plugged in our Roku and it was ready to play! We can’t turn the volume all the way up cause it’s too loud. It’s the perfect projector for our home theater room!

Great projector. Great audio speakers as well

I’ve had this going on three years. Pros: Great picture quality Can be used in dim and dark rooms Very easy to setup Customer service via BenQ assigns you a contact person and they are the ones who answer the phone when you call Lamp is easy to change Warranty service is prompt if required Cons: Not good in bright rooms Generates substantial heat and fan noise in a 14x14 room. I find the operating volume distracting during quiet scenes in movies. Noticeable syncing issues for some movie and video game content. Movie sync usually resolves itself. Gaming sync is only noticeable in competitive games. I’m about to receive my second replacement unit under warranty. I would say the unit is running 8 hours per day, 7 days a week. So it’s not that the unit isn’t durable. But it isn’t perfect. TL:DR High value medium-large, dark room projector from a great company.

Dead on arrival, power on to immediate red flashing light with no picture at all. I would avoid this at all costs! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!

We have been using at-home projection TV for over 25 years, but we had never tried a BenQ. I thought of it as a step up, it cost twice as much as our next most spendy projector. I ordered it ahead instead of another bulb for our Epson, setup was easy and then stuff began to fail. We use a fancy Onkyo amplifier sound system which extracts the most from signals and sources. We enjoy hearing birds flock up in the ceiling / sky. But the Benq strips sound down. How do I know. Well when the BenQ bulb failed so early that I had not stocked a replacement, thinking that was a couple years in the future, I had closeted the old Epson projector and we have not yet agreed on another use, guests or grandkids, so I got it out and replaced the BenQ with the old one and wow it was brighter and the good sound came back. So, now we have new decisions to make, one is to stop believing Amazon ratings. Another, not to count bulb hours until they are achieved. Finally, a three year warranty is not worth anything if the phone number doesnt work.
