    • ok here's my recommendation
Color: Vibrant Colors Style: Non-Android TV
O.k initial thoughts on this projector: 1. Out of the box performance : Good - I still made some manual adjustment and got a better picture - so that is possible. Look for some calibration hints in the comments and questions section. 2. Kind of noisy - Noisier than my BENQ 2050A but I didn't notice this after the film started - you might. 3. 4k performance - excellent for this price level of product. I got this for the same price as the BENQ 3550 so slight savings against regular price. 4. Sure, black levels could be better/blacker but after some manipulation of the settings I was able to achieve a nice balance and the dynamic iris on this model worked very well. The only problem the iris had was when a super-bright light source was presented right next to a dark area in the same frame - which rarely happened. 5. Haven't tried the 3d function yet - but NOTHING compares to my 2016 passive 3D LG OLED tv! Now for my thoughts on this or any other 4k projector: If you must have one I'm sure you can find one in this or lesser price range that will satisfy your need - but my recommendation is to not buy one (at least not buy one yet). Reason? Because 4k media is not yet to the quality level or level of availability to really justify this expense. My reason for saying this is that I watched 2 movies immediately after my initial setup. (For reference I have a 1:1 gain 100" projector screen) The first was "Pacific Rim". The color and picture was just impeccable! I wasn't going to watch the full movie but I got pulled in so I sat back and marveled at my cinema level (almost) experience. I then decided to try another disc and I pulled out my new 4k "X-MEN" (first movie in the series). This time not so great. I had seen part of this disc on my 4k LG 55 inch OLED and it looked pretty good so I assumed I was in for the same experience as with "Pacific Rim". No such luck. The picture quality left much to be desired and so I was a bit disappointed through-out this presentation. But it did give me a reference point - opposite "Pacific Rim" - and helped solidify my feelings on buying a 4k projector. If you MUST have a 4k projector then by all means go for it, this BENQ TK850 is a very nice one - but my feeling is don't go crazy and buy a super-expensive projector unless you are a "collector". 4k discs at this point in time are too "hit or miss" in picture and sound quality. I have about an equal amount of great and poor quality 4k discs. For sure there are some great looking discs out there - but some of them are unwatchable due to the fact they are just lousy movies. Who collects 4k movies JUST because they look good?? There are some strange people out there that do this but I have no idea what motivates them. Final thought: Find yourself a nice less expensive 1080p projector - there are some very nice ones available and they are VERY affordable. I also own the BENQ 2050A which I use for gaming due to its low input lag. Unfortunately, BENQ seems to have stopped making this model and it looks at though the places you can get it used and new have recognized its value as a great gaming projector (and movies as well) and raised the price from its original cost of $749. But, there are others out there that are great quality and low expense compared to some of the these 4k projectors. Blu-Rays are a WAY better value than 4k discs and you can still experience great home theater quality with blu rays and a 1080p projector. Save your money for some other worthwhile expense. ... show more

    • BenQ TK850: A good, not great, collection of compromises
Color: Vibrant Colors Style: Non-Android TV
Review Image by Colin Colin
*** Edited 2021-12-21 from the original Q3 2020 review. *** After 18 months with this projector, I have the same opinion of this project. Lots of compromises. The well-received reviews of it being a "no-compromise" projector are particularly troubling - this projector is literally defined by its compromises. 4k-ish. Fake HDR. The loss of features that exist in previous models. See the original review. Interestingly, the manufacturer responded to my review, confirming the very compromises I reported. That response and my return response have since disappeared. I write this update to report that the projector does not age well. The projector's weaknesses impact the viewing experience more as high-quality HDR content becomes available. Instead of improving the experience, the Benq "HDR Pro" feature, which fakes 10-bit HDR support toward the content source, causes the displayed content to have muted color. Practically speaking, it means that your content source will detect an HDR-capable projector. If HDR content is available, It will serve the 10-bit HDR content instead of the 8-bit non-HDR content, which it also has for non-HDR displays. The TK850 will then down-convert the 10-bit content to 8-bit, which, unfortunately, will be of lower quality than what would have been display if the native 8-bit content had been served. The output will be worse. This is bad - the project is creating a worse experience by lying about its capabilities covering it up. More unfortunately, the TK850 is capable of very nice color that it won't be displaying! Even if you display HDR in the projector, it will still report HDR capability to the content source. 99% of consumers won't recognize the problem and the solution - completely disable HDR. Disabling HDR, not only in the projector, but your content source - in my case, a Roku. Movies with HDR10 support and brilliant color are how you can see this. For completeness, I'm using a current Roku Ultra running through an HDFury Arkana (for Dobly Atmos, another crutch I've had to take on for this projector). Try these movies: - Disney+: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - Disney+: Coco - Netflix: Altered Carbon I have attached a screenshot from Coco with HDR turned on and off. Turn off HDR and you have yourself a better projector! It's not terrible, by any stretch. But I interpret this as deception, a marketing department that has gone too far. I'll be on notice next time I'm looking for a projector. Reports of dead pixels are true. I have had one dead pixel that appeared about a year after purchase. Luckily, I don't notice most of the time. If I had more, it would become another sore point. *** Original *** This review is about the BenQ TK850. It's worth noting that here on Amazon, reviews for the TK850 and similar BenQ HT3550 are intermixed. The TK850 is significantly brighter, while the HT3550 is a lower-lumen, more color-accurate projector. I purchased the TK850 to replace a BenQ HT2150st, a short-throw 1080p projector. I also have a BenQ W1070P. These are mounted on the ceilings of urban lofts with relatively high exposure to outdoor light. They do a great job of reducing the space required for TV and sound while providing a great viewing experience. Having been happy with the first two projectors, going with BenQ for the third seemed like a no-brainer. The reviews for the TK850 were great. However, now that I know more about what I purchased, I will be more cautious in the future. With a price as high as the TK850's, I am surprised at the number of compromises and limitations. This isn't to say that the project cannot create a great picture - it can - but at this price, I question the value. This projector does a lot of "faking it." More concerning is the fact that many half-implemented features are branded and offered as selling points. I'll point these out throughout the review. First, a key selling point. At 3000 lumens, the TK850 is indeed brighter than the 2200 and 2000 lumen BenQ projectors. Is it ready for full sunlight? Definitely not. But it is viable in more lighting scenarios than the others. "True 4k" - The projector produces the 3840x2160 resolution it claims, but not as a "native 4k" project. In a technique called "pixel shifting", known to some as "faux-k", it does so by rapidly shifting a 1080p (1920x1080) image slightly, rending four offset 1080p images that approximate a 4k display. The resulting visual is better than 1080p, but not as good as a native 4k projector. Real, native 4k projectors cost significantly more, so this compromise seems like a sensible one. The "True 4k" marketing is intentionally misleading, but is also the norm for 4k projectors in the same price range. Moreover, a setting exists called "silence", which reduces the noise produced by the projector; it does so by stopping the pixel shifting process, rendering the projector a 1080p device. "HDR-Pro" - HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is a technology that claims to offer brighter brights and deeper darks, enable colors to "pop" and providing a richer visual experience. It does by providing greater color depth, 10-bit rather than the traditional 8-bit. For it to be enabled, the content must support it. The TK850's "HDR-Pro" half-implements HDR. Toward the content source, a Roku Stick, for example, it is able to accept and process HDR. But by the time the light is projected, it has been down-factored to 8-bit. The TK850's HDR support renders better, brighter images, but they aren't true. Occassionally, content will appear oversaturated, noticably flattening a bright object and reducing the detail across its surface. Not a show-stopper, but once you've seen it, you'll see it every time. When content changes from non-HDR to HDR, expect a 5-second transition time in which the screen is black. Tolerable, since sound begins and the screen does eventually appear. Not desirable. Weak darks - HDR suggests that the TK850 can do dark darks. It can't This is a relatively high-lumen projector, and the darks suffer. The project has many features to attempt to improve dynamic range. Dynamic Iris. HDR "levels". Fancy color calibration. Purple fringing - At the borders of solid whites, usually used in on-screen titles and descriptions, a purple fringe can be seen from several feet away. This is a common optics issue, and easily missed with moving pictures. It does impact one's perception of image quality. The speakers - just forget these. If they were twice as good, they would still be unacceptable. At the end of the day it usually pretty good! But it doesn't take it over the line to native 4k, real HDR, and full P3 color gamut. Two unexpected limitations are particularly problematic: HDMI ARC is stereo only. HDMI ARC is a feature in which the projector sends its audio signal back to a receiver via HDMI. The feature can simplify wiring significantly. It was not provided on either the HT2150 or the much older W1070. Unfortunately, no matter what signal is provided by the content source, that content will be down-rendered into stereo. No surround sound. No Dobly Digital, DTS, ATMOS, etc. The limitation ensures that having surround sound will be significantly more complicated, if not impossible. Pairing the TK850 with a Sonos Beam or Sonos Arc, there is no realistic wiring scenario to support surround sound. The problem comes from the fact that HDMI ARC relies on a different set of the cable's pins, and most sound equipment supporting HDMI ARC will not take audio directly from the content. BenQ should look seriously at supporting surround sound in its future projectors. No HDMI CEC - CEC, or Consumer Electronics Control , enables one HDMI-connected device to control another. Most notably, it enables a content source - Roku, etc - to turn the projector on and off. The content source might detect that no one is watching, gracefully shutting off the projector to save power and projector bulb hours. Both of the older projectors supported it, this TK850 does not. At the end of the day, the TK850 was a slight visual improvement (one step forward), that complicated how I control the AV system and prevented me from upgrading my stereo (two steps back). I canceled an $800 Amazon purchase, the Sonos Arc soundbar, because this projector couldn't do what a TV does with HDMI Arc. And I now have to think much more about turning the projector on and off. I'm still keeping the projector, but I might not buy it again, and I would spend more time looking at competing products. I emailed BenQ about some of these issues. The loss of CEC, in particular, was a concern for me. They never responded. If you expect technical support for your future projector, look for reviews discussing how well each manufacturer did. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. Does the job for the price. Reading watching all the videos on YouTube and forums. I still went with tk850 in my theater room (dark) with my fixed 120 projector screen. 7.2 with Denon receiver and Xbox that runs all my media. I like to keep the ambient lights a little bit on. This projector does the job. VERY BRIGHT Crispy video motion and clarity. It took little work to get it aligned. The pattern tool is great for alignment and has a ton of setting options for color and motion. This project does not have a horizontal shift, and also the zoom/focus is not on the remote, so you have to do it manually if you are mounting on a ceiling. For the price, it's not that bad. I'm a casual gamer. Mostly XBOX playing games and it looks good. Also, I stream plex and all streaming apps on my Xbox, and works and look great. I tried lg hu70la & benq ht3550 and had to return those two did not fit my taste. ... show more

We use this projector as our everyday television, we use a gray screen at 100 inches. can see things fine during the day. after the first year we had white spots develop and did RMA. 6 weeks to get it returned with spots in different locations. 6 more weeks perfect picture again 4 months in it starts shutting off. With the unit 1 1/2 years old we pass it off as age use it less. Now after 2 1/2 yrs the picture is going out again. I'll try to RMA again but think we will be denied. I'll spend a little more for better next time. BenQ will not be my brand. It's been good but know it's temporary! ... show more
