BenQ TK800 True 4K UHD HDR Home Entertainment Projector, DLP, 3000 Lumens, HMDI, Football Mode - White/Blue

This is a great projector. The first thing my wife said is “how did we get along without it?” We had a very good Panasonic. But the fan noise was bad and we wanted to move up to 4k without breaking the bank. This projector was on sale so that worked out. The colors are vivid. They look fantastic. There is a bit of coldness because of the hot whites, but for the most part you don’t really notice it. The halo is annoying. For our 140 inch screen we have about 8 inches of halo around the screen. We have 5 inches of black framing so only a bit is noticeable, but why is there a halo? I don’t get it. In any event - we don’t notice it much, but I see how it could be an issue. We have not tested 4k yet. I need newer hdmi to send the signal. So my review is on traditional blu ray an PS4 content. What a great deal. Daytime viewing is good, which is what we wanted (we get daylight inour theater). Very happy. :)

I could not be more pleased! First, let me start of by telling you about the system I had in place before this: - 1,200 lumen DLP projector by LG; 1080p with 3D DLP Link support - Vizio soundbar with wireless subwoofer - Xbox One My Xbox One and sound bar are located directly below the screen in my living room. The Xbox connects to an HDMI port I installed into the floor, under the entertainment center, which connects via a 25 foot HDMI 2.2 cable that runs under the house to a second port installed under the corner of our sectional. This connects to the projector via a second 25 foot cable that runs up the wall and across the ceiling to the projector itself. My screen is a DIY setup, painted directly onto the wall using Behr Silver Screen Grey paint and a custom wood frame. Our old projector did fine at first. It was very entry-level because this was our first one and I didn't want to spend too much money on a learning experience. We've had it for about 4 years and I've learned a LOT. ** FAST FORWARD TO YESTERDAY ** With 4K becoming a "thing," I wanted to upgrade my living room projector. One of the main issues we had with the old projector was, at 1,200 lumens it was all but unwatchable during the day or with ANY lights on in the house at all. I shopped around for months for a decently priced 4K projector that would work well in a non-light-controlled environment and finally settled on the TK800. The projector arrived while I was at work yesterday and I went to setting it up IMMEDIATELY when I got home. Replaced all of the old HDMI cables and fixtures with 2.2 compliant hardware, mounted the projector and got to work setting it up. The first thing I noticed was that I had every light in the house set to full brightness and I could still clearly see the BenQ logo while the projector was firing up. This thing is BRIGHT. After playing with it and calibrating color to the Xbox, I could not be more happy with this purchase. Even in a fully-lit room, this projector is highly watchable. It does, of course, look better at night with all of the lights off as ambient light will have an effect on your picture no matter how many lumens you're sporting. HOWEVER, 3,000 lumens in my completely non-controlled environment is still plenty bright enough to watch TV on. When it comes to gaming and movies, the lights will go off in the living room. The lights in the rest of the house don't really effect picture enough to worry about. 4K resolution is absolutely stunning. I tested it with Planet Earth II on Netflix and ended up sitting and watching for an hour because it looked so darn good. Color accuracy is much better than I anticipated for a projector using an RGBW color wheel. When you take into account the fact that I'm projecting onto a grey surface, this is SUPER impressive. I will be repainting my screen this weekend with specialized 4K projector paint (that I also bought on good old Amazon). If the colors are this good on non-certified paint, I can't WAIT to see what happens when I'm projecting onto a 4K certified surface. I haven't tested 3D functionality yet but will be trying that out as soon as the screen is resurfaced. I got this baby on sale for about $1,000. Bottom line is this. If you're looking for a lot of bang for your buck, a great picture, and enough brightness to cut through a lot of ambient light, the TK800 is where it's at. Next time I upgrade (in 5 years or so) I'll be going with another BenQ projector.

I was in the market for a 4K projector within my budget range ($1200 or below) and while prices have certainly been dropping it was still rare to find a well-reviewed projector of this type at the time of purchase (nearly a year ago). But BenQ produced this 50s styled projector in my price zone so I took a chance on it, and it delivers for the most part. I’ll leave the heavy duty technical reviews for others, as there are many excellent reviews available online, but I will say that as a projector with a picture designed to be seen even in brighter lighting conditions that the picture is often too bright, giving movies a more blown-out high contrast look than is usually necessary. To compensate I usually select the more muted ‘cinema’ mode to offset the overt brightness provided by the high lumen output of this model. The picture is excellent and I’ve really no complaints as this has taken over the family cinema, and all but put my otherwise excellent Sony Bravia into early retirement. However, almost from the time I bought this projector it has been very flaky about when it wants to start up. More often than I am comfortable with, pressing the green ‘on’ button on the remote switches the blinking status light on the unit itself to green, but that’s often where it ends. It just blinks green and then never comes on, even after waiting 5-10 minutes. On a good day it’ll start up within a minute of pressing the remote, but especially recently I’ve had to manually unplug it, and then retry, which is super frustrating since I have it mounted on a custom stand for projectors. Just today I even got a weird ‘freeze’ image that I wasn’t sure if it was my blu-ray player or the projector. Turns out it was the projector. For what it’s worth I always shut the unit down as instructed by BenQ (press off twice on the remote to initiate shutdown and cooldown mode). I’m not gonna lie: I really hope projectors of the future are more reliable than this, or maybe I just have to try a different brand. Because now that I’ve got a taste for the big cinema experience at home it’s going to be hard to go back to even a 60” HDTV. But depending on my living situation in upcoming years if the reliability of projectors remains similar to this, it would definitely give me pause.

I am still leaving review at 5 stars even though there has been a quality issue. I started getting a lamp error and projector would shut down, it only happened once in a while and could go a couple of weeks before it happened again. I called Benq customer support, explained the problem and they were excellent in getting it resolved. Sent back RMA form right away, then a pre-paid shipping label was sent for return within a day. Although it was a pain taking it down, repacking and losing use of it, i had it back in my hands in a week, which to me is almost unheard of these days for repairs of electronic equipment. So i am happy to say it is back up and working great. Gotta love great customer service. First of all i am giving this a 5 star because it suits my needs, although it does have some minor points against it that won't work for everyone. I purchased this for a big screen image, opposed to not being able to justify putting out 6 grand for a 82 inch oled tv. This projector will not compete image wise with a tv like that, but sure comes as close as possible for the price. I am not a projector geek, i just know what i would expect the quality of image i can live with from a projector. I primarily watch sports, but regular tv and movies are good with this also, high quality movies look great. My setup is a ceiling mount, 10 feet away from screen, which is kind of pushing the limit for distance of throw of being close to screen. Screen is 90 inch diagonal, and not a high quality one, could of done better, but price was right. Running 35 feet hdmi cable i had to route to source which is a media player and internet based. Using audio out of projector back to sound bar. Projector image setup was not that hard, focus ring is super sensitive, the supplied focusing image worked great for me to adjust it. There are lots of adjustments available for color, gamma, saturation, etc., i just use football mode in 4k and just a few tweeks to suit my preference. This thing is bright, so sometimes i do adjust the brightness a bit from the remote, depending on the channel video feed, every channel is different for video quality. It does have to be pretty close to center of screen, as it is not meant as a short throw projector, so lacks horizontal keystone adjustment. There is a bit of halo around screen, but not noticeable to me when watching something. The projector does make some noise, but most do, and again not noticeable when watching and listening to a program. I personally think Benq should be offering more for software control of unit as there are non-functioning buttons on remote that could improve the image quality, but obviously not meant for this model. Not a deal breaker for me, i am pleased with what i am seeing. I have been using this for a few months now, if i come across any issues i will update this review. The price now has been lowered quite a bit from what i originally paid.

Received this projector at a VERY low price this month £625 from the Amazon Warehouse in a Used - Like New description, the box was unopened and no damage to it either so everything was pretty much perfect. The only problem I would say is that the power lead was a European 2 pin rather than a UK 3 pin plug, not an issue as I had one from the projector this is replacing. The image quality is superb on this and so much sharper than my previous 1080p unit. The on board speaker is actually half decent too and I would have no issue just watching a show or a film through it, don't expect booming bass, but it's not a tinny sounding mono speaker like you normally get. The remote is nice with a orange backlight glow, a stark contrast to the bright blinding blue of the Optoma remotes. Fan noise is pretty good with it only being slightly noticeable when watching anything, there is a quiet mode which literally does what it says, it does drop the brightness down though slightly. Although there are 2 inputs to the projector only one will take a 4K source so you may want a HDMI switch or run through an AV unit before getting to it. I have a switch to soundbar to projector so it works for me. Be warned that there is no image shift on this projector so you will need to get a good positioning for your screen or some good movement on a mount bracket if you use one. It does have keystone correction which is automatic and works well. Another feature of this which is rare on 4K projectors is 3D although this is only in 1080p it's still a great thing to have, you do have to manually turn this on and off, but then that's only at the start of a film anyway. All in all a great upgrade from a FullHD projector and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I am very happy with the picture clarity taking under consideration my screen is over 130; the sound is good although the audio outcome is AUX only no option of optic. Worth every penny

Ce vidéo projecteur est super, mais il ne fait pas tout ! Avoir un ampli qui vous fait l'upscale 4K est presque indispensable derrière ! Car franchement visionner du 1080p sur grande toile on voit tous les défauts et c'est très désagréable ! Niveau qualité: Alors oui, les couleurs sont ultra flashy et pas naturelles du tout, en changeant de mode c'est mieux mais ici, c'est ce qu'on aime, on aime l'ultra luminosité de ce projecteur qui nous permet de ne pas se mettre dans le noir complet pour regarder un film, on aime les couleurs qui pètent, et le HDR intégré ! Point noir: effectivement, quand on est en mode 4K la roue chromatique fait un de ces bordel... ça n'empêche pas d'entendre le film mais c'est pas ultra agréable... après franchement on s'y fait ! Depuis qu'on l'a on n'allume plus la télé, que ce soit pour regarder un film, une série netflix, pour jouer aux jeux vidéos ou même pour regarder youtube ! Par contre faut vraiment vraiment un ampli upscale 4k avec !
