BenQ HT2060 | 1080p HDR Home Theater LED Projector 4K supported | 2200 Lumens | Vertical Lens Shift | Keystone Correction, 3D, 1.3x Zoom | S/PDIF, HDMI 2.0 | Built-in 10W Speakers | 4K Compatible

My review is for the HT 2060 projector. I decided to buy this model after extensive research. The projector was bought solely for watching movies in a controlled- light-partly-treated-room (white ceiling, some black fabric on side walls). The image is projected directly on a standard white painted wall (image size about 115 inch). Even in these less-than-ideal conditions to my eyes the projector performs remarkably well. The main consideration for choosing this projector over other models was ultimate picture quality at the given price range (~1000$ ). While 4k might be important for some, I find both color accuracy and contrast ratio of equal if not higher importance. This projector, though being only 1080p, seems to delivers in both these categories well above it's price range and I find 1080p resolution already offers a crisp and detailed image. Colors out of the box in cinema mode are rich and natural without being overly saturated. Contrast is also very good with excellent noise-free black levels for a DLP projector. Overall picture quality is impressive and exceeded my expectation. Speakers are surprisingly good for what they are: The sound is clear, loud and undistorted - but don't expect base from such small drivers. Also, I found the projector fast to restart and generally quiet while operating. The projector support 120-240v - no external voltage transformer is needed outside the U.S. Cons: Lens shift implication is nice addition but very limited. Personally I would be ready to pay a reasonable extra charge for a more flexible shift option - atleast +/- 20mm vertical shift. The projector lens optics seems to be quiet good but the lens does show some color fringing in the corners of the image - though it is hardly perceptible from a normal viewing distance. Also, there is a small but perceptible vingnetting and loss of sharpness towards the corners of the image. I did noticed from time to time the DLP rainbow effect. The projector lacks standard RCA connectors for sound system. Overall: I'm more than pleased with my purchase - I didn't expect this level of image quality from an entery-level dedicated home theatre projector.

About a year ago I started researching modestly priced projectors with the idea that having one in my living room would be a cool thing for movie watching. The whole thing seemed to be rather involved and impractical so I had given up on the idea until recently when a family member mentioned the need for a projector to use for a few upcoming presentations. Through my previous research I felt that the HT2050 from Benq was about the best overall projector in this price range I decided to take the plunge.I bought the projector as well as a Silver Ticket 120 inch indoor outdoor portable screen from Amazon. I found out right away that setting up the projector and screen was very easy and it only took a few minutes to have it up and running with a source from a computer or hdmi. The picture quality is astonishingly good!After having it set up in a few different locations I decided to give it a try in my living room. With the projector about 12ft away from the screen it produces an image that fills the entire 120 inch screen. Yesterday evening my wife and I decided to have a movie night and the experience was much much different than what we normally get from our wall mounted 60 inch LCD TV. It was so much more immersive and truly a fantastic experience to have at home in our living room. The movie we watched was "The Big Lebowski" from Blu-Ray. We had both seen this movie many times in the past but getting to watch it on the projection setup was a new experience. Small details in the picture just became so much more obvious as did film grain and changes in focus from shot to shot. All of which added to the presentation. In my experience I like the "cinema" mode the best along with "Smart ECO" mode for the projector bulb setting. Later when I do permanently install the projector I'm going to run through some calibration but out of the box the projector's picture looks nice.The HT2050 has a built in speaker that isn't terrible and it is certainly fine for most uses and having it built in allows for quick and easy setup. Our living room is equipped with a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos receiver and speakers so I just turned off the built in speaker for the movie night. The projector currently is siting only a few feet away from the seating location in the room but it is quiet enough that you only notice it when you listen for it during a quiet passage of the movie.The HT2050 is not perfect though. The HDMI ports seem to be a little loose and I had to route the somewhat stiff HDMI cable carefully to make sure it stayed fully seated and the lens shift feature while useful is somewhat limited when you're trying to aim the projected image at the screen. The lens cap is also a little flaky and it doesn't fit quite as nice as it could. Also my room isn't incredibly light controlled so viewing during the daytime might not be ideal. In my experiments it was ok but a little more washed out than I'd like. In the evening/night it is bright and the colors are well saturated.The remote control that comes with the projector is nice and functional and having back lighting is a nice feature. It seems to work well every time I've used it at any reasonable distance or angle.If you're like me and thinking about getting a first projector but it seems to be either overkill or somewhat intimidating don't worry it isn't difficult and the results are great. Plan on spending some time experimenting with the projector displaying an image on different surfaces. I tried it out on walls, an old silver projection screen, the back of a garage door and finally onto the Silver Ticket white screen. I'm now planning on permanently mounting the projector at the right location from the ceiling in the room and then installing a motorized screen as the next step but I'd still like to use the portable screen and set it up in the back yard for a movie night which would be awesome.It is now 3 months later and in that time I've permanently mounted the projector using a Vivo ceiling mount and it is projecting onto a Monoprice motorized 120 inch retractable screen which drops down automatically when the projector turns on using the 12 volt trigger. Most of the time we watch TV on a Vizio 65 inch LCD panel but when its a movie night the screen drops down in the same location but in front of the TV. The projector is mounted with its lens 11 ft back from the screen and we watch from about 10 ft back it makes movie viewing at home a whole new experience.We watched the entire Ken Burns Vietnam series using the projector. My Dad who served there in 1967 and one of his friends who was in Vietnam a year or so later were over every night and it was great! The projector made the show so much better.
