You are correct. I just tried it again, my PS5 was running 1080p/120

You can’t seriously think $6K projector to be considered as “high end”. Even the Sony GTZ380 at $80K is barely touching the realm of “high end” projectors.

@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I don't think that's a fair statement! $6k is big amount when you consider that decent DLP and 3LCD projectors with 4K HDR are available under that price range. Definitely not value for money in my opinion! You can disagree!

@sajmax6962 look, the price of 4K projector ranges from $1K to $150K. I don’t think my $16K RS3200 to be in the “high end” area. Just like cars ranging from $20K to (on average for high end cars) $400K. It doesn’t make a $80K car high-end. As a reviewer, I have to be objective. And the fact remains $6K for a projector is not high end.

@@DavidSusiloUnscriptedShut up David. Get real

Agreed. Black levels seem the same as my regular Benq projector. Also, it isn't native 4K

You can have 200” from 22 feet away from lens to screen. Brightness is only 11 ftL. There is no budget projectors that can do 200” properly. Instead of having a big screen and sitting far away, it’s better to have 150” and sitting around 12 feet from the screen.

The W5800 is the best projector BenQ ever had for consumer projectors. It is truly the pinnacle of their entire offerings.

Having projectors with and without lens cover, the amount of dust gathered practically has no difference

@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I disagree as not everyone has a dedicated room for a home theatre, some of us have to make do with a living room/home theatre which means heavy usage and more dust/dirt which means more cleaning which in turn means more dust in the air that would inevitaby settle on the lens.

@darkvader7231 that’s okay. Your experience may be different than mine. I use projectors in my dedicated theatre, in my bedroom and in the living room/kitchen area. Never any problem with or without lens cover

From one country to another, the dust situation can vary greatly! Given the price increase, one could expect a lens cover!

Hi Bryan, the DLP chip in a projector is only a small part of any projector’s performance. Lens quality, light source, video processing, tone mapping, they all lay very important roles too. Compared to my 4550, the lens quality in diameter and contrast is appreciably superior. Different algorithm in tone mapping and video processing make a big difference too. Remember, VW GTI, VW Golf R, Audi Q3, Audi A3, Audi S3, Porsche 718, they all share the same engine but their performances are all different.

​@DavidSusiloUnscripted Gotcha, but unfortunately my budget will only stretch as far as the 4550i , I also have a heavily light controlled room, so pulling back its brightness should hopefully get me where I want it to be...🤞🤞

The 4550i is still a very capable projector. You won’t regret it.

If blacker blacks is necessary, there is nothing that beats JVC NP5 at this price range.

@@DavidSusiloUnscripted And how do you see things, if in-picture contrast resp. ANSI-contrast is more important then the static on-off-contrast?

Using the JVC NZ7/8/9 you will get Dolby Cinema black levels. And yes, you are right, DLP black levels are about the same level as regular cinema (non-IMAX, non Dolby Cinema)

Yes 3D needs a dongle

What do you mean by "dongle". Their website does not mention this for this projector?

@Icelandlover from what I heard from other users of BenQ, we need a 3D sync transmitter dongle in order to make the 3D glasses work.

@@DavidSusiloUnscripted ive got 2 Benq pjs ,none of them need dongle

Nggak ada Pak. Tapi ada lens lock jadi setelah selesai di setting nggak akan berubah.

@@DavidSusiloUnscripted untuk mengakomodir multi aspek ratio bgm?

@KangEep tetap musti gonta ganti sendiri. Lalau saya pake Lumagen Radiance Pro, jadi image-nya auto deteksi dan di scaling pas untuk ukuran layar. Saya ada satu biji ekstra yang klien nggak jadi beli (dia kena PHK) kalau mau bisa saya jual harga cost saya + ongkir.

@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Berapa dijual pak?

Lumagen Radiance Pro mau saya lego US$4000. Saya belinya US$6000 bbrp bulan yang lalu. @bang1102 @KangEep

My professional experience of 25+ years beg to differ. Also the greyer the screen the more bluish the white will look like. There is a reason why the industry worldwide use a particular brand and model as their mastering standard. But you do you.
