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

Good picture. Some cooling fan noise. But the biggest flaw is the lens cover. Like the previous models, BenQ tethers a piece of plastic that you can use to cover the lens manually. This creates a problem: you have to be extremely careful not to change the position of the machine if it is hung from the ceiling. I wish BenQ could install a simple mechanism that allows the user to use remote control to cover the lens after done watching. Update: The auto keystone is a disaster. Even if you disable it, it is somehow still on, fighting with my manual adjustment. One star now.

It was OK for few months and then a white dot started to appear on the bottom left corner. I contacted customer support many times but no help was given. Beware!

Brilliant Black Levels, Very short throw,Dynamic Iris is a very important add on. Lacking on Brightness. Does not support Dolby Digital/DTS Audio 5.1 on Digital Toshlink out. Ideal for small spaces but must have a for very Dark Room to enjoy. Overall its a Good Home Cinema projector.

Well Ive had this for 2 or 3 weeks now. I been messing around with it on a 100 matte white 1.0 gain screen, 120 on a beige wall, 92 on .9 ALR screen. Image out of the box is amazing 4k HDR with disc or 4k scream from Apple TV 4k. Coming from 1080p projector definitely can go back. And having a 55 LG OLED in my living room spoiled watching movies, but lacks immersive size and my full Dolby Atmos setup. So this definitely the next step, with the BenQ HT3550 I still get my 1080p Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray and now 4k Blu-ray with HDR, while keep my DOLBY Atmos, DTSX, AURO 3D and now Imax Enhanced Audio setup. With a nice 1.13 throw allows me to go bigger screen and use and acoustic transparent screen now with out compromising my speaker placement now.

On paper, this is a great projector. Reviewed, it is a great projector. As others have stated, it hits all of the right notes. Im not sure I can say anything more than what has already been said. I really wanted to like this projector. The fan noise was a deal breaker for me. It is way too loud and distracts from the quiet scenes. Turn it to Eco and now a already struggling to be bright enough projector just becomes too dim.

I couldn’t wait for this baby to arrive from the Amazon Warehouse. It came a day early to my jubilee, and was nicely packaged in its original box. I was upgrading from my trusty old Viewsonic projector for outdoor movie night. There are a ton of reviews with specs and such, so I’ll just give you a layman’s version. The picture was simply astounding; both animation (Raya) and live movies. Granted, I’m coming from a 1080i, but the clarity of the image on my 4K JWSIT big screen (135’), blew me away. It exceeded my expectations. I drooled for the first three hours of viewing. The setup was easy, as well as slight adjustments to my viewing liking. The fan was never even noticeable. And the speakers were pleasantly adequate. My last projector sounded strained as I elevated the volume, but the ht3550 gave off an enjoyable, full sounding soundtrack. No sound glare as I increased the volume. I set this up with my son’s ps5 to take advantage of the 4K blu ray. Like watching movies outside for the first time. This is what I’ve been missing? I’d probably be crying if I wasn’t so elated by the upgrade. Gaming was just as amazing to watch. I noticed no lag, but we only played one person play. He did hop on fortnite with a couple of friends for an hour or so, but he had no issues that I could see. The ht3550 is truly a topnotch projector. I look forward to making it my own!

I was hopeful that passage of time and technology improvements would make this a better projector than my unconverting 2k to 4k. ....not so much. :-(

Projector works great, but the Android TV is nothing but trouble. No Netflix, Hulu lags, it has trouble connecting, and a pain to set up. Youre better off getting a Chromecast. Plus its cheaper than the $100 upgrade. Android TV is a BenQ HDMI dongle with Chromecast on it. It plugs in to the inside (a hidden third HDMI port) and is powered on when the projector powers on. If you were to buy the new Chromecast it would work just the same except youd have to use an outside HDMI port. Customer service on the BenQ website is slow and they offer no solutions. They went right to replacing under warranty which takes weeks unless they put a hold on you card for quick shipment. The guy didnt suggest updating the firmware or projector which was pretty easy, but could also be hard for some.

Been a movie buff my entire life and this projector is everything I’ve ever wanted. Great picture quality.

I have the projector mounted on the ceiling, pretty close to seating area. The projector is loud and is distracting. The picture seems pixelated. Another user suggests to turn off HDR in source and in the projector for better picture quality. Will update once I get a chance to do that. I wouldn’t recommend getting this projector.
