    Probably the most bang for your buck!
    5 Stars
    Probably the most bang for your buck!
    Let me start by saying I am a huge audio/video enthusiast. However, I am no means in the profession and this is my first FullHD projector purchase, so my statements have no baseline for comparison. I have a 65" UHD/HDR/DV TV so I hadn't set my hopes extremely high, and as of right now, UHD projectors aren't competitive enough vs. TVs in the respective price ranges, hence 1080p projector. with all that said... I spent several weeks researching different products as I waited to save up a bit and use some Christmas gift cards. It was a difficult decision at first, but after seeing the results I'm blown away with how clear this actually is!My setup:- "Homegear" 110" projector screen, motorized, white finish (from Amazon), with a 1.3 gain iirc. It's nothing special and honestly there's probably very little difference between Elite Screens and other brands. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J22TM7Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1- BenQ HT2050A front-ceiling mounted about 11' from the screen if I had to guess. I did NOT want to rely on zoom or lens shift to mount it any closer and possible compromise picture quality. Unfortunately I did not take a pic of the mounted projector itself.- 25' white HDMI that I shamelessly used coax staples to mount to the ceiling as I don't have the ability to go in the ceiling or walls themselves.-had to get a 15' power cord to make the run ok, and again no ability to run a power outlet close by, etc.-The room has black out curtains and in the back of the room where you enter, it, too, has blackened panels to cut as much light out as possible.I used a Spears & Munsil calibration Blu Ray in the complete dark, Bulb set to "SmartEco" and the only setting I had to change from defaults was to lower contrast to '40' from '50' as some of the colors clipping/bled over. I do not like to use sharpness or any fake enhancers so those are set to 0, but I did turn on Fast Mode assuming that's a mode for gaming or lower response time, and it's maybe barely noticeably better. Because of the lack of need for calibration (probably due to ISF) I'm even happier with the accuracy and abilities https://www.amazon.com/Spears-Munsil-Benchmark-Calibration-Disc/dp/B00CKWI13O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1546439424&sr=8-1&keywords=spears+and+munsil+hd+benchmark+2nd+editionI've only had this a few days, but I have now logged several hours worth of use with FullHD blu rays, streamed some Netflix (to compare framerates and quality), and played some games on Xbox One. To my knowledge I did not see any sort of typical rainbow effect that users talk about with other projectors, maybe due to the RGBRGB color wheel? Also, I did not have issues like older projectors where the center seems brighter and the edges are darker. My much older and lower resolution projector (1024x768) and a lot of rear-projection TVs had this issue.Overall, it seemed extremely well-balanced for brightness, contrast, and sharpness. I got right up to the screen and can see individual pixels in the corners, so I know it's not only pretty in the middle/main focus for content. I do have it set to -1 for both vertical and horizontal keystone, so as true of an image I could achieve for where I had this mounted.Hopefully all 3 pics and 1 video upload just fine. Maybe because the TV is backlit vs. the screen being projected on, and how the video is captured, the screen looks washed out in the video but I assure you it doesn't do proper justice to the quality.

    5.0 out of 5 stars BenQ projector - The perfect fit!
    Reviewed in Canada on March 23, 2023
    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.
