BenQ V7050i Review - Could This Be The Best Laser TV?

[@doubleemcastillano464]

[@marciosilva5697]

I won a VAVA and I'm happy with it but I've had Benq in the the past. Honestly there's something about their picture quality that is unmatched. The attention to detail is incredible. Great review as always.

[@JoelsterG4k]

Great video Majestic, I thought the sound was good, maybe because I have a small room but either way I use my sound system for that, on the other hand the picture is one of the best I've seen.

[@GaryPiazza]

I am so looking forward to ditching my regular projector that has oodles and oodles of feet of cable running to the back of my movie room because of the way my house is laid out, to going with this, simply so I can get rid of the cable runs and conduit and crap that I had to put in place to run signals! Hallelujah. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of black level performance to get my house back in order and toss out the wiring, mounts, and garbage just to support a rear projecting unit. Thank you for this great review! Sold!

Excellent review. This is definitely an option for my setup. Much appreciated.

[@TonyPombo]

You previously said the LG HU85LA/S was the best UST you could get. In this video, you said this projector "stands out from the rest". So.... this is the best UST now? Please clarify.

[@ChrisMajestic]

I would say this looks better than the LG. Although I didn't mention it in the video, I briefly connected the HU85LA right after I was done reviewing the V7050i and I was underwhelmed by the LG. So far I think I like this the best. I still have to test the Epson LS500 and Samsung LS9PT though.

i love my benq w2700 will eventually switch to a ust but no hurry to do so just yet

[@LegendaryOldwarrior]

Great video. Still deciding on which UST to get! lol. This one is in my top 4 for sure though. One thing with this one, did you try to go out to 150" by chance? I know there really isn't a screen with ALR/CLR that is 150", at least I haven't seen one, but they might make one soon and want to get a projector that can go up to that big.

[@ChrisMajestic]

The maximum screen size for this is 120". The only thing that can go that big is the Vava and even that would have some focus uniformity issues with a screen that big.

[@md4vip]

what ur top 4 list ?

[@GameUpOG]

What good 3D projectors are there? The ones I come across say they are 1080 but really are 480 natively

[@taker610]

Awesome looking forward to your LS500 review as I understand the input lag is much better than this Benq. However I think the LS500 is still not true 4K like the 5050ub?

[@ChrisMajestic]

I'll see when I get it setup this week but I believe the LS500 is very similar to the 5050ub which is about half of the resolution of 4k. So the BenQ would definitely be sharper.

[@hobbyav7922]

@@ChrisMajestic The Epson EH-LS500 has the lowest input lag of all UST projectors, so is easily the best one for gamers so far. There are 2 negatives with it though and they are a longer throw ratio and the blacks are quite poor. Epson's more modern looking little brother to the LS500 is the shorter throw 1080p HDR LS300 with it's inbuilt very snappy Android 9 TV, quite possibly the best sounding UST projector on the market right now and has better black levels which are superior to the LS500. As long as you don't exceed 80% Brightness on the LS300 then the fan noise makes it sound as though it's ready to take off. Both the Epson LCD models have zero rainbow effects and also automaticaly output 24hz/50hz and 60hz refresh rates as that and don't automatically convert every refresh rate to 60hz like all the DLP UST projectors do. As an all round UST projector i would say the LS300 although it's 1080p native is possibly the one to beat bang for buck in the UST category right now. Looking forward to your reviews and thoughts of the LS500 and Ls300.

[@ChrisMajestic]

I'm editing the LS500 video right now. HobbyAV is correct. I consistently got 11-15ms input lag with 4k. The downsides are throw ratio, blacks, and weak speakers

Naprawdę Ciekawy produkt pozdrawiam

[@Mriya6]

Great review Chris, I've been looking for a mid range UST for my first projector and this might be it! Do you think the black level issues you had might have been due to you using an ALR screen? I thought for a UST you needed to use a CLR screen, which accepts light below and rejects it from above, wheras an ALR accepts light from a long throw while rejecting indirect light from the sides? Unless you're using ALR as a generic term and you have a CLR screen?

[@ChrisMajestic]

The screen in the video is CLR and made specifically for UST. The black levels were as good as they could be.

Love that this is native 4K laser , 2500 lumen , 3D capable , with support for HDR, HDR10+, and color accuracy 98% , contrast 2M:1 is great .. missing those deep blacks is a bummer .. I have an OLED in the other room so I’m used to those . Really pops in outer space scenes and night shots ..which is very common in most of my movie collection.

Hi Chris! Awesome review as always. I'm thinking about purchasing my first UST and I'm chosing between the Epson LS500 and the BenQ V7050i. In Sweden I can get them for the same price, roughly 2600 USD. My living room is bright during the day, therefore I'm thinking about getting the LS500 with its superior output. My first question is whether 4000 ANSI lumen and 2500 make a huge difference? I mean is it linear? Is the Epson really 60% brighter? Do you think the 2500 Lumen from the BenQ will be enough with a good ALR screen? Unless there is a huge difference in brightness I'm thinking about getting the BenQ since it has way better throw ratio. Thanks / Magnus
