BenQ HT2050A 1080P Home Theater Projector | 2200 Lumens | 96% Rec.709 for Accurate Colors | Low Input Lag Ideal for Gaming | 2D Keystone for Flexible Setup

I was looking forward to a larger picture than most HDTVs for a new family room in the basement but had no idea how fantastic this light-weight, quiet-running, crystal clear powerhouse would be. I bought an In-Focus 15 years ago for my training travels for $2500. It served me well but needed a dark room and was loud when running. We used it occasionally for movie nights at home but it had a traditional format and needed better speakers hooked up to it. This unit at only $799 gives us a huge picture and vibrant colors even with a few room lights on. The sound is so good that I've been debating whether to even go out and get any fancy sound system. The great thing too is that because of having two HDMI inputs we can have our cable television hooked up to one HDMI port and Apple TV hooked up to the other HDMI port for all the download streaming we need. The manual suggests putting it in smart eco-mode to save the life of the bulb at up to 70%. When we made this change we did not notice any real difference in the picture and expect now to get up to 6000 hours from the bulb. Online we see that the bulbs right now can be purchased for around $250 but those will most likely come down. My bulbs for my old in-focus used to cost me $400. We had some in our group debating about getting a really large HDTV like 70 or 80 inches but with those costing over $2000 now everyone was silenced the first time we turned this HT2050 on and had probably a 150 inch vivid bright picture on the white wall without a real screen. When I bought a 55 inch HDTV for our living room I was not real pleased with the color and had to calibrate it from the Internet with different people suggestions which I finally did get. But when turning this BENQ on I feel no need to calibrate anything. it is perfect right out of the box. There are four picture selection such as vivid normal cinema sports and I am pleased with anyone of them. I also had researched online about home theater projectors for two days before deciding on this particular model. So save yourself some time and don't be disappointed with this great product that is priced right and delivers more than expected. Their ceiling mount is also worth purchasing since it's made specifically for their units and also looks a lot cleaner and less clunkier than a lot of the standard ceiling mounts.

I bought this projector for my new basement theater. I did a lot of shopping around. Originally I had my eye on an Epson. The throw ratio wasn't working out for where I needed to hang the projector. Then I found this one. And it was less than half the price. So, for the first couple months I was watching it on a grey flat painted wall. My screen hadn't arrived yet. I have it projecting at 130" diagonal from about 11'. I am pretty much maxed on the zoom out. I was concerned that this would compromise picture quality but it doesn't at all. In fact, the picture looked so good and so bright even on the dark grey drywall, I almost cancelled my plans for getting a screen. Got the screen anyway. Slight improvement on brightness. As my first projector, I really can't compare it to anything else, but man, the picture is crystal clear. HD looks amazing on it. The functions are simple, but that's all I need. It has this grid which you can turn on that projects the limits of the image onto the wall so you can align everything and make sure it's square. This was very useful. I don't think it has any keystone adjustment. If it does I didn't see it in the menu. Wouldn't need it anyway. Just make sure you center the lens where you want to project the screen. I don't really mess with any of the settings. Hooked up an HDMI cable I ran to the location before I hung the drywall. Plugged it in, centered it, and never really had to mess with anything after that. Wish it was black so it blended in with the dark ceiling but not that big of a deal. I don't ever notice the fan noise. It's hanging from an 8' ceiling just above my sofa. I hung it using one of the $50 mounts I found here on Amazon. Worked great. Low profile. I really can't think of anything negative to say about it right now. I use it almost daily. Everything from 8-bit Nintendo to PS4 games. Everything looks good. Didn't notice any latency in the game controls.

The 1st had to be replaced. No return issues. Hats off to seller and amazon. Looked like someone forgot a sticker that was covering lens internally. So 2nd projector has great colour in 2 or 3d. No rainbow noticed, but I'm not a pro. Great presets for colours. Surprisingly good on board sound though I don't need or use it. ( stereo sound.) decent input array as in description. I use it ceiling mounted in front of screen about 10 feet from screen. I use a drop down screen 100 inch because my plasma tv is mounted to the wall and screen comes down in front of tv when I want big screen action. I can see how it works best with a fixed screen or painted wall. No projector fault. Just the way it is. For me it's okay. You will notice anomalies without solid screen especially in panning high speed cinematic shots. VERY QUIET! Seriously. Great deal for the money. It does give best pic in low light. I use simple drapes drawn over window when using before full dark. Works plenty well. No problems having LED rope light lit for ambient mood and safety. Mine is Ina purpose built home theatre appx 14 x 14 feet with two rows of seats ( one elevated 7 inches) and surround sound system ( Panasonic) well worth the effort and well worth the money. I use BenQ and othernobrand 3 d glasses. The benq are more comfy but both provide great picture quality. My ceiling mount is not benq but works great I use an8 inchdrop from my ceiling to projector.

Excelente relación precio-desempeño! El mejor de su categoría y al nivel de proyectores más caros. Pensaba comprar uno 4K pero este es más que suficiente para ver películas, series y videojuegos, se ve muy bien en una pared blanca, me genera una imagen de 142”. Mucho mejor que una tele por una fracción del precio. Valió cada centavo!

Finding the right projector for our needs was challenging. Needing a “ short-ish” throw. Only about 7.8 feet between the back wall (on an angle as well projection) to the 92” screen. With this HT2050A we hit the mark! Super easy to set up with its vertical and horizontal keystone correction plus lens shift. We use only at night or dark days, so Cinema mode is excellent. Colours are fantastic. The big this for my eyes are “NO RAINBOW” effect. With DLP you always run the risk of this. To my eyes (which I have been prone to with other DLP models) none exist. Way better than LCD we had tested. Great black levels in Cinema mode. Easy to use menu and a backlight remote. So nice to use. For the money I can’t imagine a better home projector. With its versatility in set up to its picture quality. Very happy with this purchase.

Amazing contrast. Black levels are great. For 1080p and it’s amazing as it supports HDR content. We watch tons of movies on streaming services and the quality is amazing. It is very bright as well and paired with a good screen makes it a dream like having a home theatre. I would be hesitant to buy a budget 4K projector over this one as it is that good and has the upgraded LED bulb that will last for years to come. It also has a proven track record of performing without an issue for years.

Por el precio, es bastante bueno. Eh visto projectores al mismo costo pero con mucho menor calidad. Las inagenes se miran nitidas y con una reduccion del 40% de luz, se puede mirar bastante bien. Depende de donde provenga la luz pero en general bastante bien.
