Out of all the reviews I've watched only you answered all my questions about the projector. Thank you 👌👌👌

The wide color gamut doesn't make the picture "cool".. It's kind of the whole point of this projector. It's how you achieve 100% DCI-P3 coverage. It does cut some of the brightness, but it also improves the black level presentation and contrast. In my opinion, it's a must if you're watching a movie without daylight.

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.

Hey. Im in dire need of trying to get my HT4550i to play 3d bluerays from my PS3. I didnt have much luck from Benq customer support. I have the right 3d glasses, a HDMI cable that wouldnt have issues and of course the 3d Blue rays. I cant seem to figure it out. My next step is getting a 3D blueray player but want to avoid that. The 3d always looked sick on my 3d sony tV so I know the PS3 worked. PLEASE HELP.

$3000 for long throw led projector in 2023 is too much ask. $2200 would be ideal. Also the segment is crowded with some amazing long throw as well as UST pj. When you get better lazer pj or a classic 5050ub in this segment why to go for led.
@justinbeamon6624 Жыл бұрын
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.
@guiltynessness892611 ай бұрын
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.

@stefanklein1863 Жыл бұрын
Seems to be a great device! Some questions: 1. Does the motion enhancer also work in 3D? 2. What happens, if you have a Dolby Vision movie? If it does support HDR 10+, why not Dolby Vision (I guess, projectors don´t support Dolby Vision in general, but why? ) ? So what happens with a Dolby Vision movie? 3. Does it have convergence problems and are there setting to correct them?
@JoelsterG4k Жыл бұрын
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.

I just got a Sonos beam 2nd gen and I can’t figure out out to get the right sound level. I use my Apple Remote to raise the volume but I have to go all the way up to get good sound from the beam. I’m going crazy trying to figure it out. Any thoughts?
