I have the 3550 in a dedicated theater room and I agree. The change can be drastic but after 15 min you’ll appreciate the WCG much more.

It's a matter of choice, but this projector offers everything for the best movie experience.

Dude, theres way better for that price. Its old too. No DOlby Vision.

@@metaldreams3595 Very few if any projectors will handle Dolbyvision. Stick with hdr and the Panasonic player with Optimizer.

Wow, thanks!

5050UB is always good but the HT4550I has much better sharpness. Native contrast is average but the local contract enhancer looks to be good on the BenQ. It would be cool to see this back to back with the 5050UB or the AWOL 2500 which are the class leaders in their segments.

Each has their advantages. When it comes to the Epson 5050ub, it has great blacks, but the Benq 4550i is more color accurate, you don't have to replace a bulb, higher sharpness, and slightly lower lag time. It also has the local contrast enhancer that can enhance contrast in different ways. Sounds like both are great in their respected ways. I understand what you're saying though. A lot more options and competition in the price and below.

It will be HDR10, I love this projector, it has amazing picture.

Did you buy it yet? Hope not

why??​@@metaldreams3595

I used dark gray matte paint from home depot, is nothing special just make sure is matte.

JVC or Epson 5050 hands down.

I haven't tested those projectors but this BenQ looks amazing and you won't be disappointed.

The Hookup just compared the Epson 5050/9400 and the BenQ HT4550i. BenQ HT4550i mostly out performs it.

@@spiderbite7849 the guy is a amateur KZfaqr.. we at AVS have been around before KZfaq and we have real owners of all electronic equipment. Also.. just read real reviews from REAL professionals at Projector Central and Projector Reviews that also have around before the internet was created. These KZfaqrs are all Fly by night amateurs that have no real experience in calibrating monitors. I have been calibrating monitors since 1981. We also created what you youngsters call 'memes' and emojis decades ago in our forums.

Motion enhancer doesn't work with 3D, DV movies also support HDR so movies are in HDR. Dolby Vision cost extra for the rights to use it, that could be a reason why.

@@JoelsterG4k So no frame interpolation possible in 3D?

Nein und das braucht man auch nicht. Das 3D Bild ist das beste was es gibt. Das schafft kein anderer Beamer. 24p anschalten.

Nice, yes I love the picture from this projector, one of the best I've seen, enjoy it 😀

What was wrong with your original unit?

@@SnakeDoctor5104 The dongle /hdmi connection kept disconnecting and the projector all by itself defaulted the normal picture modes to back and forth..The new one is perfect acting ..

I used to have the VAVA projector but I am not familiar with apple tv and sonos soundbar, sorry my friend.

I haven't tested the Aurora pro but this BenQ projector has an amazing picture with great contrast and black levels.

Thank you Craig, have a good day brother.!!

I have tested both and they look the same, honestly just go for the cheaper one.

Yes, I covered that in the video.

Yes it will work fine.

The image quality degrades.

You mean like an over cast light around the picture? No i don't see that.

@@JoelsterG4k thanks for the reply, yes, i asked benq why the one i have got has a light boarder,kind of annoying. They said all dlp projector has a light boarder or some sort, but there doesnt seem to be one in your review. Thanks man.

​@yyu086-7 Usually that happens when using keystone, try adjusting the projector manually as much as you can so you don't use keystone adjustment.

No I don't see that option available.

I didn't see any rainbow effect at all.

@@JoelsterG4k I went to see one at a showroom and unfortunately saw it, I may have to opt for 3LCD. Thank you for your reply and this was another good review :)

I would go for the X3000i, it has lower input lag for gaming and movies also look fantastic.

@@JoelsterG4k Thanks for the suggestion and all your time & efforts to help us make the right decision. However i had doubts regarding the Benq X3000i vs Viewsonic X1-4K. This one would be a tough decision. Looking at the X1-4K really blows my mind. You can check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNOCgLmE0d3OpGw.html

In this video I used an ALR and a Maxwhite by elite screens.

Both are good choices, hard to decide 😅

@@JoelsterG4kwhat if you must decide?😅 im going to ceil mount mine

On a white screen it's probably tough, but a long throw ALR will show laser speckle on the N1. So in that case I bet the HT4550i would be best.

Its good, it doesn't get dark like other projectors and the 3D effect is clean.

@@JoelsterG4k interesting, how do you rate it over the new awol?

@EbFilesX The Awol is fantastic, I love that projector, both are great, I had no issues with either one.

@@JoelsterG4k thanks. So I suppose my last question is,, do you think the awol is worth the extra cash? I guess it's somewhat relative. So the answer can vary.

@EbFilesX Is worth if you need an UST projector like me that I don't have the space for standard throw projectors, if that is not your case then this BenQ is ideal for you.

I used an 80" and a 150" screens.

@@JoelsterG4k Look full wall in your room ( perfect and beautiful picture ) ❤

@tonslair58 Yes we used to have a 110" screen and it was fine but then we tried the 150" and it covered almost the entire wall, it looks amazing

Yes I mentioned that in the video.

Im sure it can, just needs more distance from the screen, the picture quality degrades the further you get.

How to get the quality at its best
