how would you compare this to the Formovie UST projector??
I want to crawl into your beard and make a little nest for winter time
Nice to see a good review of this, w2700 has a great image, but I want a new projector so been looking. The best thing about benq is the throw distance is a lot better for smaller rooms.
There's a new W2710.
You move well for a big man it was almost like you floated up them stairs, I wish I could still move around like that but I’ve arthritis in my knees 😢
I’m pretty fit for my size. I train regularly both weights and cardio.

@@michael-4k4000why are you here?
Great video as always, thank you Tony! A little over my budget at the moment, but worth keeping an eye on.
Yes, it's a great projector for the price I think it packs a lot of features.
Nice review! Thanks mate:)
Thanks for watching
Another great review from The Beard on an excellent projector.
Thank you kindly!
I enjoy watching the video clip nice projector great picture .
This looks great, but it'll be a while before I upgrade from my 3550. Very few times have I had virtually nothing to complain about with a purchase. I just love that thing. Thanks for the review!
I have a 3550, but I am thinking about upgrading. Especially if I can sell it.
Definitely only upgrade if you feel you will benefit from the new purchase - not FOMO.
Thanks so much for this video. It was all the information I wanted.
I have the BenQ TK850i 4K and was eyeing this one, both because of the long-lasting LED, but also for the great contrast ratio on this model.
How are the black levels? Did they wow you? You have no doubt seen home projectors with really great black levels, which can provide some wow factor? Based on that experience, how would you rate this one?
I think they were great. I have a JVC in my main room so it's always tough to compare it to that as the black levels on JVC are unrivaled, but also triple the price of this projector - so what I love about BENQ is the ability to calibrate it, and fine tune so many aspects of the image with a sensor. If I couldnt have afforded the JVC I would certainly have gone this route.
Thanks for review. But how about black level to compare another DLP's projectors? ANSI contrast?
Hoping this will be my next projector. And thank you so much for including the non-US name!
I reckon u will love it. It’s the w4000i in Australia too!
It doesn't have 2.1 hdmi. At $2999 you should wait.
These Horizon projectors are great!
Benq has always been pretty decent. We are still waiting on getting a projector. I’m hoping 8k will bring the 4K prices down in the future.
I think Benq are serious about providing something affordable with a tonne of calibration options to squeeze out the best performance. If I didn't have my JVC NP5 this would certainly be a contender.
will it shoot 180 16:9 without any issues? - moderately light controlled room
Was really hoping to hear some feedback on 3D performance (bummer). Good review though. Sounds like an excellent unit.
Sorry yeah I don’t do 3D. Just makes me ill 😷
@@BuildMontage All good Sir! Stay awesome 😎
Watching this video in a w4000i (ht 4550) 😅 and it’s as sharp and as crisp as on my 75“ 4K TV
Great review!!! Did it come with a lens cover , or you bought it yourself. That looks like a nice feature. 01:45
It's part of the projector - I didn't buy as this was a loaner unit returned to BENQ :)
Great review. Sitting area for this projector? How many feet, and what distance from the screen you have install this projector, please?
Thank you and great review
6" from ceiling and 11′4″ from a 120" screen (as I have a 120" now)
Hi Tony greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Thanks for the review. The one million dollar question: which one would you pick when it comes to image quality, this BenQ or the JMGO N1 Ultra? Thanks
Ooooh that’s a tough one. I’m about to install the JMGO N1 in my upstairs space for my permenant setup but it’s significantly cheaper. The Benq has a lot more cinema controls. If I had the budget I’d go the Benq but hard to look past the n1. U will see it in an upcoming reveal video.
@@BuildMontage thanks! Great I'd LOVE to see a comparison video, I'll have to pick one of these two! Cheers!!!!!
Great review, thanks! I'm currently torn between this and the Epson 5050UB... Any advice on which is better for movie watching?
I would think you get more brightness from the 5050UB but you get better colours and longer lifespan from the w4000i
@@BuildMontage Thank you!
Tony would you say the black levels are on par with the x3000?
I’d say from my memory yes quite similar look and feel to the x3000i
Hey Tony! Thank you for the great video! Been waiting on a dedicated review to hit RUclips for a couple weeks now. I have the HT3550 and was looking to upgrade to the LS11000/12000 before hearing about this Ht4550. Can you comment on the black levels of this projector in comparison to that of the 3550 and LS series Epsons if you have had enough experience with those? Both provide a really signifcant brightness upgrade to my HT3550, which is my main goal, but if the blacks on the LS/UB Epsons still are night and day from BenQ, i'd go that direction.
Thats a tough one. I have experience with the LS12000 range of projectors. This one is right up there but the LS12000 is definitely brighter. I think with calibration the HT4550i could match it, possibly even beat it in terms of a cinematic image, but it will depend on what you are going after. The LS12000B is also a lot more expensive. I havent had a chance to look at a HT3550 so I couldnt tell you there unfortunately. I try not to do comparison videos because it opens a huge can of worms - I try to review based on their own merits. Lets just say, if I was in the market right now, I'd probably pick this one over the LS12000 simply based on price and all the features you get with the Benq. Hope this helps!
@@BuildMontage Very helpful! I guess i'll keep mulling over the decision for the next couple of weeks lol, especially since the LS11000 is currentely only $500 more. Thank you again!
Love you bearded theater guy
you could use more of those stairs
hi, great video! Is there a rainbow effect on the projected video?
There may be, I didnt see any, however there can be some colour fringing in the video due to my camera refresh rate not visible in person.
No complaints here with my BenQ HT3550 but my next upgrade will be native 4K and possibly laser to make worthwhile IMO.
For sure - only upgrade when you see a huge jump!
I also have an HT3550 and the picture is great but it is much dimmer than I like. That said, I don't think I'll upgrade for a couple more years when there is a reasonably priced LED or Laser projector with 4000 ANSI lumens.
@@jon1913 I definitely agree with you on how dimmed the picture can be, especially since I run it on eco-mode to extend the bulb's life in an ambient light controlled environment. Eventually... my next upgrade will include an AT screen which will benefit from the extra lumens.
Sorry if a dumb question on such an apparently good piece of kit; it’s 4K so how does this work with anything 8k as l assume that’s where the future of streaming and discs will go…. Thanks for another great vid Tony
8K is a loooong way off. The only real application at the moment for 8K is gaming. Usually 8K can downscale anyway.
Hey, how does this compare to the AWOL 3000 UST? I noticed these traditional projectors are around the same price as UST ones and UST ones seem to have better specs. I'm curious if that's the case and why people would buy this over a UST?
I dont think comparing UST to long throw projectors is a fair comparison. It's like trying to compare a motorcycle with a car when they can cost the same price. It's a different use case. UST projectors solve problems such as cabling and placement issues. UST projectors tend to have their own issues such as center speaker placement - so you really need to identify your specific scenario and use case more than which one is "better".
I got a open box ht5550 for $600 US dollars. Is this model older than the 4550? Which is better in terms of PQ? I’m thinking to get rid of ht5550 as I assumed the higher model number means “better”. Replacing lamp is not an issue for me. I plan using dedicated theater room for 4k movies completely light controlled.
Is 5050 and 6050 epson better than both Benq?
It's a "lower spec" model, less brightness etc.. I just did a review on the w5800 but it is a higher price but I think you'd love it.
Is HT5550 better than the 4550? I will only be watching in dark dedicated room for 4k movies. How is the upscaling of 1080p content?
Hi how is this projector compares to Sony VLP-XW5000ES?
I havent reviewed the 5000es - but I would say the Sony is better as I have seen it in person. Has manual controls but I think contrast is better on the Sony but also much more expensive as well!
A few questions. Is this supposed to be a replacement for the HT3550, or sit between the HT3550 and HT5550? I also noticed gaming wasn’t mentioned (unless I missed it). I know there is usually a sacrifice on either image quality or input lag. I was just curious. Could this be comparable to the HT3550 and HT5550 please?
This projector is marketed as a dedicated cinema projector. I didn't find that it would be suitable for gaming like the x3000i which has 240hz from Benq - I think they have a multipurpose projector if that's your use case. You can see my review on it here: ruclips.net/video/3y6iK0liWCE/видео.html
@@BuildMontage 😂 bro what are you saying? It is there in their website itself that ht4550i supports 1080p@240hz ! 🤷Gotta research before you say something!
I didn’t say anything wrong. I said this projector is a dedicated cinema projector and the x3000i is a gaming projector. I didn’t find that the ht4550i worked very well for gaming regardless of refresh rate support.
@@BuildMontage just their advertisement is different like they wanted sell gaming projector so they've focused more on that for ads for gamers but HT4550i is a allrounder so they've put everything including gaming specs and all the features present in x3000i is also present in ht4550i right? HT4550i is a allrounder I believe ! Thank you!
Thanks for the response as always. I was just curious, since gaming specs is usually a mention in videos. The main focus would be cinema usage.
Hello. Thank you for the great video. I was just curious how you feel about the black level performance for its price range?
Hello! I think the black levels are decent. I didn't actually test it with my sensor. I'm spoilt because I have a JVC NP5 which has a 26K:1 measured contrast ratio - so anything else seems lacking - however, I found that without the color filter, this projector had decent brightness in the dark areas without washing out the completely dark areas. I found that this had a very "cinematic" feel to it.
@BuildMontage That's good to hear, and thank you for getting back to me. I have a similar problem with the JVC RS2000. I sold it about 2 years ago, and now I'm getting back into projectors. I like the idea of the size of this so I can take it in and out of the basement easily. I also like the color accuracy but was a little concerned about blacks. I wasn't expecting anything close to the JVC or even my previous Epson 5030ub and 5040ub. I guess I was just hoping it was at least good for value. It still sounds great overall, with good color accuracy, which is also very important to me.
@@guiltynessness8926 In that case a direct comparison, I would pick this over the Epson LS12000b - and yes Ive tested it out in my room (just didnt publish the video).
@BuildMontage Thank you, and that is very helpful. Appreciate the help and content.
I own the 3550 and have loved it. Is this one worth the money/upgrade?
It will come down to "are you happy with your 3550"? - The ht4550i has a lot of calibration control plus LED light source so very long viewing time, no bulb changes needed etc... I personally would only upgrade when you feel you're lacking with your current projector.
@@BuildMontage mine just died but they are sending it back now after repairs. I has a brand new bulb, new color wheel, and new firmware update. Gonna give it another year and save up for a Sony along the way I think.
Great intro and b-roll. It seems like there is a lot of "bang for the buck" on this PJ. I'm happy to see that manufacturers are still spending money in developing new projectors. Some other channels seems to think the PJs are on their way out and will become more of a niche as TVs get bigger and better. I guess we will see as time goes on
Projectors inside of home theaters have been “on their way out” for 20 years now. Consumers just aren’t educated about them. Causing some brands to rebrand UST’s as “Laser TV” and bundling them with screens. Big box stores stick them on end caps at the back of the store because it’s easier to sell TVs. Yet here we are. They keep getting better and better and cheaper and cheaper.
I think those other channels are wrong. We’re going to see TVs and Projectors converge long before 120” TVs require the same delivery service as a sofa.
@@steppedon UST is pretty neat and I’d love one in my setup, but my room it bot really ideal for it currently
Grey scale correction? How about ZERO grey scale? Now who knows what I’m talking about????
With that room size, I think you can go with a bigger screen, any specific reason you decided to go with a 100"?? Want to see the finish product!!!
No its the perfect size unless I go scope. I had a 120" and it was way too high on the wall for my UST to reach it. Also my towers would obstruct the image so id need to have them too wide out. 100" is bigger than people realise especially from 3m away.
I see!! Thanks for the reply
I appreciate the reviews as always. How would you compare the image to the LS12000? In other words, which would you choose between the two for your home theater?
I would say the LS12000 is better because it's brighter and laser light source, however this one has better colours and colour accuracy, more cinematic. In a full dark room it would be difficult to say which one is better - the LS12000 also has electronic lens memory vs the manual controls. It's also more expensive. I almost bought this unit for my upstairs room but ended up with a different projector because it was a review sample.
@@BuildMontage Thank you. I've had the LS12000 (currently using a Sony XW5000) briefly, but I've always loved the DLP image. I'm hoping the HT4550i will be a nice compromise of that cinematic commercial cinema feel with good "enough" blacks and contrast without spending a fortune.
The Epson LS12000 has a native 4K resolution, while the BenQ HT4550i uses pixel shifting to achieve its 4K resolution. This means that the LS12000 will produce a slightly sharper image with finer details. The LS12000 also has a higher contrast ratio, which means that it will produce deeper blacks and brighter whites.
@@trendyprojectors4743 I have both units now, and while you'er correct about the better native contrast and blacks on the Epson, both are "true" 4k with 8m pixels on screen, but neither are native 4k. The LS12000 uses pixel shifting as well just like the Benq
@@caramel7413 Hi, How much did you score Benq out of 10 if overall picture quality of LS12000 is 10. Thanks.
0:30 I'm pretty sure Prey came out in 2022 ;)
Edit: I now see you had it right later on in the video.
Yes that one skipped by me somehow.
Greetings, is Benq HT4550I good at 200 inch. I have already bought my 200 inch screen. 4.7 mm into 2.13 mm. My room is 6.8 mm into 6.10 How from wall to give 200 inch.
Regards,
Personally I don't think it has the light output for 200" and that is being brutally honest, for something that big you would need at least a Sony 7000es or JVC NZ9.
Thank you for the advised but for HT4550i, it is written in specifications that it supports up to 200 inches, and that's why I need confirmation if it will be good at 200 inch
Cons: Lens shift and zoom?? I was looking at this model because it does have lens shift (along with low input lag).
Electronic* lens shift and zoom
Gotcha. Thanks
Frage: Weiss das jemand? Ich zocke auf dem TK 680 i ab und zu mal Dying light oder Call of Duty. Auf meinem Monitor habe ich die gleiche Native Auflösung von 4k und der macht 144 Hz dort erreiche ich in COD bei gleichen Settings 88fps plus minus. Auf dem Beamer benutze ich die gleiche Auflösung von 4 K und den Spiele Modus für niedrige Latenz ist aktiviert. Benutze ein 2.1 HDMI Ultra High speed Kabel und die Leitung zum Beamer ist aber 15 Meter lang. Alles wass ich auf dem Beamer aber zocke, hat ein drittel eistungseinbusse? Warum? IN COD schaffe ich es kaum auf 50 Fps obwohl der Beamer bis 60 rechnen kann. Das macht er am Monitor ohne Probleme. Was kann das sein? Grafikkarte sicher nicht?
@buildmontage
Hi, I'm super curious, so I wonder if you cold answer my 2 home theater questions, even though I may never see that kind of sutup.
(1) I hear about Kaleidescape movie players, and I wonder how does it do with selecting a movie's audio language? If I couldn't pick Japanese, it wouldn't be for me.
(2) With an all out, super cool setup, like a 4K projector and everything, I wonder how the anime film "A Silent Voice" would look on the screen? It's an absolutely phenomenal film if you haven't seen it, and it seems like more TV and theater reviewers could include some really good anime in demos. But seriously, it's amazing and you'd be doing yourself a favor to see it, and maybe show off what it can look like!
I'll include as a bonus "Call of the Night" for a demo! It's a shiny new anime that looks like the reason 4K exists! I wonder if it was mastered in 4K, because you could only get an image like this from the modern day! Thanks a lot!
Sorry I can't get Kscape in Australia so I cant answer for you.
How would you compare this to the formovie UST projector
I dont think it can be compared. Different use case, different type of light engine, different features. Both are excellent at what they do though - so your use case should help you make that call.
In dark room for only movies who win ?@@BuildMontage
Does it have hdmi 2.1?
No, but it does 120hz at 1080p.
Which one did you like more between this W4000i & Xgimi Horizon Ultra?
I was going to buy the Benq but I ended up sticking with the XGIMI - I think the Benq has a LOT of features that would have probably made it a better choice in some ways, but I really, really, really, really wanted Dolby Vision so I went that route instead.
Hmmm I am awaiting my Xgimi desperately as well. They extended the release date from 15th to 25th now. I have ordered the 135" Elite ALR Cinegray screen from Scott Davies to pair with this new projector. Hopefully this combination will give a good picture quality. @@BuildMontage

Do you recommend “Prey”?
Prey is awesome! Fantastic visuals and Atmos, awesome story line too for a Predator movie.. I have seen it several times...
@@BuildMontage adding to my watchlist
In 4:16 its not the force awakens, its rise of Skywalker 2019
I'd go back to eshift for 4K in a heart beat to get better native contrast with lower ADL scenes. It's been measured at 900:1 and... that's actually pretty disappointing. If they could get 3,000+ lumens and 6000:1 contrast ratio or above, I'd fork over double the MSRP without a second thought.
900:1? That seems awefully low. My JVC NP5 measured at 26000:1 during calibration. It certainly didn't seem to be suffering too much in the black level department when I tested it but I also didn't go through a rigorous calibration either. It was a loaner unit so it's gone back or i'd whip out my sensor. Do you have links to the 900:1 contrast results?
@@BuildMontage NP5 contrast would be worlds better than most projectors in its price range. It’s a great projector for a screen around 120-130”. I think the Epson 12000 usually hovers around 3500-4000-ish ratio as a comparison.
And for others reading this, with contrast, it’s logarithmic in how its perceived by the eye. A 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio would be roughly twice as good looking as say 1,000 to 1. (Very generally speaking, but you get the idea.)
Better contrast ratios in lower light scenes also can make the projector SEEM brighter, as better blacks make the whites next to them pop more.
@@ryankramer The NP5 I have tested as well as a NZ8 (two that I saw results of the calibration) and also better colour accuracy in the reds hitting the targets better - most likely due to bulb tech. It can be the silicon lottery with projectors, especially JVC, I've see horror stories and NX5 units beating out NX9s. The LS12000B I tested and calibrated was pulling around 6000:1 after calibration and correcting colour temp. Epsons are great units as well. I think I would still pick the Benq HT4550i over the Epson - the calibration options allow you to squeeze a lot out of it - I wish I'd had more time with it to see it reach it's full potential but the colour science was really nice.
@@BuildMontage Sorry, just realized I didn’t say where I read that contrast ratio measurement. It showed up in projector central’s review.
It's $2999 and it doesn't have 2.1 hdmi. Very dissapointing! It's 2023. You can buy tv's that are $200 with 2.1 hdmi. Huge tv's are also much cheaper. A 85 inch LG 86UQ91006LA is $1499. You must be insane to buy this.
At 7:23 , is that a rainbow effect?
Yes but not visible in person. It’s the frame rate of my camera being 3 times higher than the footage.
👍👍
I can easily see the rainbow effect during the blade runner clip where he stands up :/
It’s the recording not visible in person. It’s the shutter speed of the camera and the shutter angle - it’s difficult to synchronise the camera with the refresh rate perfectly.
Is the 3D any good?
I didn't test the 3D capabilities of this projector. I have an issue where I get very sick if I experience 3D. Benq didn't provide me with the means to test it and as such I wasn't able to provide any feedback on the implementation. This is how I do my reviews on projectors, unfortunately I will likely never review the 3D aspects of a projector unless explicitly requested to by the manufacturer and provided with the means to test it.
Oh gotcha
Sorry about that. I know there are lots of passionate people for 3D out there - I just have had a very bad experience and it turned me off so much.
@@BuildMontageThen they should let ME review them instead. 3D is the main reason why my next display will be a projector since TVs don’t do it anymore.
@@TheMediaHoarder go for it! The more reviews the better :)
what about rainbow effect ?
I didn’t see any… but it is possible for it to occur with this type of light engine.
I keep coming back to this model, but why is this $1000 more than the tk860i? The specs are almost the same. Having a really hard time justifying and can’t find an answer anywhere.
I don’t know that model. 🤷 sorry I can’t help you there.
is this native 4k or pixel shifting?
It shifts - not many 4K rated projectors have native outside of Sony and JVC.
@@BuildMontage have you ever compared sony native 4k vs 4k pixel shift projector? whats the result?
@@letitbe978 I have a JVC native 4K. It’s a different class to these but also double the price.
@@BuildMontage okay thanks for your reply,
Pixel shifting is a common technique used in 4K projectors, and it can be a very effective way to achieve high resolution without the high cost of a native 4K projector. However, it is important to note that pixel shifting can sometimes introduce artifacts into the image, such as rainbows or motion blur.
Did you measure the ANSI lumens yourself? I have the older ht3550 and despite BenQ claiming it is 2000 lumens my measured brightness was around 790 ANSI lumens, an 86% difference from the advertised brightness. Other people I've talked to have measured similar results. I wonder if the HT4550i is also grossly overstating its brightness which is why you found it fairly dim.
I couldn’t measure that as it’s done in a lab and off the light source. All I can do is measure off the screen in foot lamberts or nits. I was getting around 80 nits in HDR. It’s not anything you can use to measure against BENQs specs as reflected light off a screen has too many factors: ambient light, distance from screen, screen material, etc.

ones a UST the other is longer throw. It depends on whats important to you. Both will make a very nice picture. Benq has great colours. Formovie is nice and bright and has Dolby Vision - I do have a video on my channel under a playlist on the Formovie as well.
@@BuildMontage thank you am glad
Am looking forward to a cinematic sharp deep blacks image with budget 3.5k and so what's the best formovie or the benq
3k is budget?
For a dedicated home theater projector? Absolutely!! Lower end of budget. Epson LS12000B and JVC NP5 and mid range with Christie and Barco being higher end.
this vs 6050ub
This
3000 is budget? I thought budget would be 1000-1500 USD
I don't think you can get a "dedicated" home theater projector with optical zoom, lens shift and colour calibration controls for 1000-1500 dollars which is why I class this as budget.
First ish
3000 USDollars doesn't fall in budget category.
For a dedicated home theater projector I think it is. Not everyone will have the same means, but 3K for a dedicated room is pretty modest.
Budget??? Really?
Definitely budget for a "dedicated home theater projector" with all of the pro calibration controls.

Who's budget, jeeeesus
This is definitely what I and a lot of people who are into this hobby would consider a budget price. Mid budget would be something like the JVC NP-5 or the Sony 5000ES, and then high end is JVC NZ-8 and up from there to the SONY GTZ-380... I have a JVC NP-5 in my dedicated setup and I know people with NZ-8 and Barcos that consider my projector an entry level. I guess it all depends on perspective, but I do think personally that this Benq offering is a budget home theater projector. I don't entertain the 100 dollar amazon specials worthy of considering a dedicated home theater projector.
Your video title is very wrong , I cant find the word budget for that price in this projector
That’s on what I consider the lower end of budget for a dedicated home theater. Mid range is around$10K and high end is anywhere for $20K all the way up to $80k or more. I’m sorry if you disagree but that is my personal interpretation.
$3000 is budget? You may be a billionare, not everyone else is.
Purely clickbait of a budget projector
What do you mean? It is a budget home theater projector... I don't rate toy projectors from Amazon for under $1000 as "home theater" worthy projectors.
