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

Awesome movie projector. Amazing picture Colors. It’s like in a theatre watching movies. Wish they had bundled something for external audio for theatre like audio. I had to do my own setup with wiring on the celing.

Well guys what can I say about this projector? My previous projector was a viewsonic 720p native which I purchased from a co-worker, who had upgraded his screen and projector (he got another viewsonic and gave me his gently used screen and projector). I had been waiting over a year to upgrade. I went from wanting to get the TK800 when it first hit, to the LGs fancy portable one, to the xiaomi mi to you name it...I have a small apartment (its mounted a little over 8.2 away), so the throw was important to me, and I had been tired of not making use of the projector screens size (a homegear 110). Im a novice when it comes to all the jargon and terminology, however, I do know what looks good. Im a computer gamer and several yrs ago added xbox and ps4 to my list of addictions. Ill say that this projector has blown me away. An amazing image, no light spills on to the ceiling or anywhere that its not meant to be...fan noise is reasonable as well. Because Ive yet to buy a sound system, Ive been using projector speakers, and honestly Ive been impressed. Im definitely not a fanboy, but Ive certainly been won over. Dont take my word for it, look at my pics and decide for yourself. If youre on the fence, hop off and buy the darn thing. You wont get a single regret from me.

This is a huge upgrade compare to my 16 year old 720p projector dont get me wrong 16 years and still working, if i get 16 years from this benq ht3550 Ill be impressed even more,,picture is awesome, firmware update easy to do, installation a little tricky because it takes some measurements if you already have a screen build into wall,,only issue was an old bluray movie upgraded to 4k did not look so great,,Im only reviewing for my experience on 1 week of use,,the 4 stars can go up or down in a few months Ill update. Update 4/12/20,,, Its been more than a month now and i really love this projector even though is not a native 4k projector the pixel shifting technology is awesome. Update 8/25/20,, For now no issues with Benq ht3550, Im still very happy with purchase, i do have a switch that controls the outlet,,,i turn power of completely after fans cools down projector, switch is high up on waĺl with a safety cover to avoid accidents. Update 4/21/21. Im still enjoying my benq ht3550 but the shortage of good movies is driving me crazy,,, i did had a glitch with projector while i was playing with settings back and forth between Google chromecast tv and nvidia shield tv, the screen turn blue and had to turn off wait a while and turn back on and seem fine again. Update 2/9/22 I been really happy with this projector ,its been 2 years now and knock on wood it still shows a beautiful picture i really enjoy movie weekend... Update 10/02/22 Still enjoying BenQ ht3550 its been a good experience since purchased in 2020.

I bought the ht3550 16 months ago. It has failed 4 times. Benq has sent me 3 of them and 1 was repaired. The DMD chip fails after 4 to 6 months. A white pixel will show up. Then before you know it , there are dozens. I returned the first one after 4 months because of big white spots. They sent a new one. 5 months later I sent it for repair. They sent a new one. 3 months later I sent it infor repair. Got a new one. Sent that in for repair and it was repaired. Customer service aint great so its a real pain. The last repair I asked for bulb replacement (4000 hours) and was told the bulb should last 20,000 hours. There is no way that it true. Its only 2000 lumens anyway. Turned out they were just out of stock on the bulbs. Thats a problem too. Customer service doesnt care about making things right so look at optoma or epson.

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.

Love the projector. Looks sleek and picture is amazing. It’s just pricey; took all my savings but I needed an upgrade in my media room.

I cant deny that the picture on this is pretty damn good. However this comes with an Android TV stick connected to it for an extra $100. However Netflix is not supported on their version of Android TV. You are much better buying the TK-850 and not the TK-850i and just getting a fire stick or something. This is very very disappointing.

Easy to set up, AMAZING Movie like quality Sound and quality at its best !! Best value for the money I wish this came out sooner I’m so happy with it !!

(The good) incredible sharp, accurate color picture. It looks amazing. I also did not notice any rainbows. Very easy on the eyes even with all the lights off. Not loud at all. (The bad) it lacks brightness. You must have black out curtains or better yet a true theater room or only use at night. This thing does-not like light at all. It can been seen during the day but washes out so bad. I compared this with the epson 3800. It was a close decision as its a sharp nice sharp picture with amazing colors. In the end I chose the epson 3800 since the contrast was amazing and the colors would pop. I could even use it during the day no problem. Wish I could just own both but the wife said no ha ha.

I got this projector back in Sept 19, and when I first got it, I had all the issues other had where there would be a line running through half the screen, but a firmware upgrade (which is very simple if you follow the directions on the BenQ page so you place the files on the USB drive correct, and also have the USB drive formatted properly to be detectable)), I have had no issues whatsoever. I did have a previous issue if it constantly switching between HDR and back to normal 4K, but that was because I was using a 35 HDMI cable. If you go 30 or more, you need a FIBER hdmi cable, or it will not work properly. Just remember, almost every fiber HDMI cable I have seen is unidirectional, so make sure to reach which side is source, and which side is display, so you dont have to redo all your wiring. I have had zero issues with this projector for the 1.5+ years after I made the changes above, and this projector is an absolute steal when I got it for $1500. I also would never use eco-mode for the projector, because like with eco mode on any device, it makes the performance thoroughly stink.
