Review: Excellent Projector at this price point - This is my first time purchasing a projector, but I have experience with buying other high-res TVs and computer monitors in the past. I think for the price point ($1499.99 at the time of writing this review), this projector is well worth the money. For the past week, I have been testing out the capabilities of the projector on 4k movies and games (native and streamed). I thought that the colors on the unit out of the box were superb, similar to what you would find on an IPS computer monitor that has been properly calibrated. BenQ even includes a color calibration report in the box. The sound coming from the 2 5W speakers on the projector is respectable for what they are. They won't get very loud but the quality is definitely good enough for a small outdoor venue or room. I would recommend separate speakers to pair with this projector overall, though. In comparison to the ViewSonic PX-747 4K projector ($899 at the time of writing this), which I initially purchased along with this projector to see which I preferred, you will definitely benefit a lot from sticking with the BenQ. While the sharpness of the two projectors for 1080p and 4K content does not differ vastly, the contrast on the BenQ makes a world of difference. When watching darker scenes in Stranger Things and playing darker levels in Gears of War 4 on Xbox One S it was very hard to make out the finer details and certain objects in frame on the ViewSonic. I tried to adjust the brightness and contrast to fix this but colors ended up just looking too washed out. On the BenQ, however, I immediately noticed an improvement in contrast and HDR quality and had no issues with these darker scenarios. Moreover, the BenQ was much faster when powering on or switching inputs, which doesn't sound like a huge factor but definitely helps if you use it a lot. The $600 jump between projectors, if you have the money for it, is definitely worth it if you want to have a projector that you'll be happy with for long term. I will say that if you are expecting this projector to be "movie theater quality" then you may be slightly disappointed, however. The overall dynamic range is still not as good as a 4K TV at a similar price point, the projector is not bright enough for a well lit room, and the sharpness could be a little better. For something with improvements to those qualities, you'll have to upgrade even further to a better BenQ, Epson, Sony, etc projector that has native 4K. I think for most people you'd be better off spending that money on a good projector screen, projector ceiling mount, speakers, AV receiver, HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 cables, 4K Bluray movies, etc to accompany this projector. You'll get rapidly diminishing returns upgrading to more expensive projectors, while this projector definitely hits the sweet spot in value (at it's very portable weighing only 9 lbs). I'd definitely recommend it!
Review: Good at first but then malfunctioning issues and shoddy support - 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 I'm glad I did. This BenQ isn't what they call a short throw projector but it does have a more generous throw ratio than most other regular home cinema projectors. I'm 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 isn't a great projector for gaming but I have hooked up my PS4 to it and had a great experience. To be fair, I'm 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 don't 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 aren't answering support calls or responding to emails. I know we are in the midst of a pandemic but this still isn't good enough for such a big company. I've lost all faith in the brand. Stay away!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this  perform vs Optoma HD60?**
A: Both of them are DLP XRP 4K projectors, but HT3550 is equipped with a RGBRGB color wheel; better colors and performance for those movie buffs enjoying their 4K collections. UHD60 is with a RGBCY color wheel; higher brightness for people watching videos or games in lit rooms. One thing you might want to check is normally non-RGBRGB DLP projectors make more rainbow effect than RGBRGB ones, so if you are RGE sensitive, you need to consider this. pros and cons; it's really up to your personal preference and setup

**Q: Former w1070 owners: how does it compare on dimly lit movie scenes.  is it still muddy gray?  w1070's mediocre darks ruin certain movies for me!**
A: Blacks are very good,  dark scenes come through with a lot of details. A definite impovement of the 1070.

**Q: does it support 1080p 2D at 120hz refresh rate on PC?**
A: Thank you for your interest in our HT3550 4K Home Theater Projector. We are pleased to inform you that this model does indeed support 1080p content at 120Hz refresh rate. To reach the resolution, you have to connect through the HDMI 2.0 port. In case you would like to know more about the timing chart, please refer to page 41 in the user manual, which can be downloaded here:

Hope this helps!

**Q: Does my computer monitor need to support hdr for projector if it already has hdr, the projector, to use it?**
A: Hi, in order for the projector to display an HDR image, it must be fed one from the source. So as long as your GPU can support HDR content with appropriate cabling you will have no issues. If you have any more questions please reach out to our customer care center so that we can further assist you.
