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

Product Information

The Epson Home Cinema 5040UB 3D projector offers the best of both full HD and 4K worlds. It straddles the line between full HD and Ultra HD effortlessly, giving you so many good features that it’s nearly impossible to list them all. For starters, the 5040UB creates an amazingly crisp and detailed picture. While it only offers a native resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, the included 4K enhancement mode simulates UHD resolution that’s nearly indiscernible from native 4K. The projector also includes the DCI-P3 color gamut, which offers more colors than standard sRGB options. Active 3D is the first generation of three-dimensional displays, and it uses battery-powered 3D Active shutter glasses that create an LCD shutter effect to sequentially display frames in 3D.

Contrast is rated at a respectable 10,000:1, while a
new colour wheel with 'ultra-precise' red, green and blue coatings – and brightness-boosting white elements
– claims an impressive 92 per cent coverage of the REC.709 colour space. As this hardware is designated as HDR, the colour representation is important and the BenQ engineers managed a product that achieves 92% Rec.709 coverage with ‘Decent Brightness’ as the promotional material puts it. To use a 3D-ready projector, you need a computer that is equipped to transmit such data (e.g. NVIDIA’s 3D Vision system.) Unfortunately, a 3D-ready projector will not project 3D content from other computers or other 3D capable devices such as Blu-ray 3D players and set-top boxes. Full 3D projectors For starters, this Sony HT-A5000 soundbar has Dolby Atmos support for immersive sound plus additional features, like 360 spatial sound that adapts to the environment, smart calibration to match your room, and much more. While previously, the Sony HT-A3000 was the best budget option in the series, this price drop should put the HT-A5000 on everyone's radar. The vast majority of projectors only offer active 3D. Moreover, this also includes the top 4K 3D projectors of 2023.Bringing total visual enjoyment for all your home entertainment, BenQ color expertise perfectly balances high visual brightness and vivid colors for well-lit environments, especially for exciting sport matches. So you can watch sports and movies, or play games with family with lights on to see the joy on their faces.

Connections: 2 x HDMI inputs (one 4K-capable); 12V trigger; 3.5mm audio input and output; RS-232; VGA PC port; USB (service); USB (powered) We tested the TK800 in our home theater in both complete darkness and with blinds open and lights on, in addition to one outdoor movie night. In general, we were very impressed with its performance in all scenarios. We primarily tested the projector with a Roku Ultra, but we also played media from a PC via HDMI. Riley Young/Digital TrendsWhile it seems like a bit of a star on paper, it doesn't really look like one. It’s far from ugly with its matt-white body, rounded edges and quirky blue fascia, but there’s nothing about it that really shouts ‘cutting edge’. At least at only 35cm wide it doesn't take up too much space, and its insignificant weight (4.2kg) makes it ripe for ceiling/bookshelf mounting.

BenQ TK800 Projector review - Tech Advisor

That last option is entirely out of place to our mindset, because VGA doesn’t support 4K and any computer that only has it as an output choice would ancient. The AWOL Vision LTV-2500 is a short-throw projector, which means you’ll only need mere inches between the unit and your screen for it to create a screen size of up to 120 inches. This 3D DLP projector is also designed incredibly well with a low-profile body that won’t obstruct your view. With built-in stereo surround Dolby Atmos speakers, you won’t need to connect to an external sound system unless you want more power. Why those designing it didn’t ditch the VGA and give this two HDMI 2.0 spec ports is annoying, because having only one port that does 4K in 60Hz means that a HDMI switcher will be required for those with any combination of cable, console, computer and Chromecast Ultra to connect at the same time. The AWOL Vision is an excellent addition to our lineup of the best 3D projectors, featuring the newest features and technology to create a super crisp and amazingly detailed picture. This option is, by far, the best 4K 3D projector your money can buy. For starters, the already great 4K resolution is made even better with HDR10 support and ALPD 3.0 technology, which increases lighting efficiency and brightness. The AWOL Vision LTV-2500 also features an amazing 2,000,000:1 native contrast ratio, which is even better than a movie theater’s native 2,000:1 contrast ratio. Plus, this projector requires less maintenance overall with its triple fine laser lighting technology. If you want a much brighter projector with excellent performance, then you need to go through the best NEC projectors. Projectors have lagged behind somewhat from an output resolution perspective. Where LCD TV technology has left everything lower than 1080p far behind, projectors have struggled to keep pace with the 4K revolution.The Optoma UHD50X offers tons of features and functionality that should spark even the most hardcore gamer’s interest. It’s one of the fastest 4K, 3D gaming projectors because of its blazing fast 16ms of input lag at 1080p resolution and 26ms at 4K resolution. While this may not seem fast if you’re used to gaming monitors, this is one of the most minimal lag times you’ll find on a projector. It also features extra-smooth 240Hz of motion handling. This means every one of your games will be clear, detailed, and smooth, even if you enjoy sports, FPS, and racing games. You can also play games in 3D if you have 3D-compatible games in your library. Your projector’s lamp brightness is also an important consideration to make during your buying process and is measured in ANSI lumens. The exact amount of brightness you’ll need depends on your projector’s use case. We recommend purchasing a projector with a higher lumens rating for use in bright rooms. For use in dark rooms, not as much is needed. However, we recommend purchasing a 3D projector with at least 2,500 to 3,000 lumens of brightness. The BenQ TK800 is built specifically for those with home cinema aspirations are looking for something better than a 1080p projector, such as the Ready to learn more about 3D projectors? Below I outline how these projectors work, the pros and cons of investing in such technology and the types of glasses you can use to best view 3D images. How Does a 3D Projector Work?

He started writing in 1986 and had contributed to MicroMart, PC Format, 3D World among others. In contrast to 4K TVs, 4K Pro UHD projectors are still relatively expensive, especially when compared to 1080p options. The Vava 4K projector is an excellent addition to our lineup of the best 3D projectors, featuring the newest features and technology to create a super crisp and amazingly detailed picture. This option is, by far, the best 4K 3D projector your money can buy. For starters, the already-great 4K resolution is made even better with HDR10 support and ALPD 3.0 technology, which increases lighting efficiency and brightness. The Vava 4K Pro UHD projector also features an amazing 3,000:1 native contrast ratio, which is even better than a movie theater’s native 2,000:1 contrast ratio. Plus, with its laser lighting technology, this projector requires less maintenance overall. Another factor in this may be the colour wheel, that uses four elements; RGBW. The ‘W’ designates an entirely clear segment, and on some projector designs this approach can cause issues. The TK800 boasts a fantastic image processor that offers 8.3 million pixels and special HDR processing.In terms of long-term ownership and maintenance, the TK800 doesn’t come with an extra lamp, but the included lamp is rated to 4,000 hours in full lamp mode and 15,000 hours in “SmartEco” mode, which adjusts the brightness of the lamp based on image content to save lamp life. That’s less than the standard hours offered by the HT2550, but understandable given how much brighter the TK800 is. In any case, you’ll probably get years of screen time before you need to consider lamp replacement. Performance
