I like it

Dim bulb that flickers during bright scenes. HORRIBLE customer service: they disregard every issue I’ve consulted with them. The colors were completely messed up on the first one I received and the hdr didn’t work. BENQ technical support refused to help and I had to get Amazon involved to receive a replacement. Instead of saying our projectors have defects, they tell you that their projectors don’t have defects.

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.

The projection is great but it is not user friendly. Adjusting this projector is more difficult than it should be. The Google stick that it comes with doesn’t have Netflix.

When the price point of 4K projectors started to become more reasonable it was time to upgrade my projector. I checked a few places to see if any local retailers had a demo of the new lower price 4K projectors. It was no surprise you could only see new high end native 4K projectors. They looked good as they should starting at $7995. The collective mesage from all the salesguys was how disappointed I would be with the inferior picture provided by one of those bit-shifting projectors. I did some research and chose the BenQ HT3550 to replace my 1080p projector. The picture is amazing. I can see why you are not going to find this in a demo room next to the high end models - they may never sell another one. There are technical differences that a videophile would notice, but for the average user I will be happy to keep the over $6k price difference in the bank. The setup was a breeze and so far no issues to report. The only niggle was the table in the instructions for determining the mounting position for my screen size was provided in millimeters. I am very pleased with my purchase. Its a significant jump in picture quality over the Panasonic PT-AE2000U I replaced. Its also brighter, quiter, and generates less heat.

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!!!!!!

I have been an installer and enthusiast for over 20 years. My first install was a giant Barco RGB projector which put out a whopping 800 lumens. Projectors have come along way in every aspect. I chose this projector because I have a room that I can control all the lighting. I am able to make the room almost 100% black. This projector is absolutely stunning considering both the size and price point. It handles 4K material flawlessly. I must note that I installed the projector and used a fiber optic HDMI cable so I do not lose any signal along the path. I am shooting this onto a 100 fixed screen with a gain of 1.1, and it looks absolutely amazing. The lens shift is very helpful but note it is only vertical. There are multiple reviews out there with preferred settings to use to achieve maximum picture quality. So I will add mine. Lighting controlled room: Dynamic Iris: High Light Mode: Eco Picture: Cinema (If you set the 4K to Auto this will auto switch to H10 when 4K material is detected) Brilliant Color: On Wide Color Gamut: Off (I know I will get dinged for this, but my family enjoys a slightly brighter picture) Silence: Off We have viewed several movies from DVDs, to Streaming, to 4K Blu-Rays, and this projector will bring out the best in all of them. With that said, please keep in mind that a DVD at best is only 480p, which means it will look the worst on the projector, or any other 4K display. The only gaming I have done is on a regular PS4. I did not notice any lag, but I am not a competitive gamer. Finally, I must address lag from an audio perspective. The video is stunning and the visuals will blow you away when this is set up correctly and you are viewing good source material. There is inherent audio lag/delay when using a projection system depending how far away your projector is from your receiver. In my case, I purchased a 50 fiber optic HDMI cable so I could run it through the walls. Although fiber optic cables have more bandwidth to transport the entire unaltered signal, they are not any faster than a copper cable. Physics still apply here and the signal still has to travel the length of the cable. Not to mention the conversion to and from light at both ends. For my system, the magic number was 50ms of delay on the audio. This syncs up perfectly with the image. I would assume there is a calculation that can be found online for this, but I simply used a little logic and some trial and error. There is roughly 10ms delay for every 10 of cable. You may never notice it if you are running cable directly to a TV, but its there. When your image is 100+ inches, it is hard to ignore. Finally, I have viewed an installed several projectors that where 10 - 20 times more expensive than this projector. This is the happiest I have been with a small format projector, and I do not feel as though I am losing any performance. I know there are bigger and better projectors out there, but I challenge you to find one for less than double the cost. As with all reviews, please take this with a grain of salt as this is just my experience. I would recommend this projector to anyone who asks.

Great product

My first projector so I cant really compare it to any other but I bought it after a lot of research and Im very satisfied
