I had the Benq HT3550, which I've replaced with the Optoma UHD51A. The Benq might have had the more accurate color, but the fan noise was way too loud. The iris feature on the Benq had annoying light flicking on the screen, when it was turned on. The Optoma has a very sharper image, especially in HDR, more lumens , great color, and lower fan noise. Optoma all the way.

thanks from France good review, help a lot. Keep going !

[@SeanGT83]

I've just got back from my local hifi store whom had both these projectors so had them side by side. The difference was extremely minute and barely noticeable on 4k content (Black Panther) in there standard settings. BenQ was marginally more natural/consistent across a range of content. Also watched some football and the grass colour was more natural on the BenQ. Some content was a bit more saturated on the UHD51, which was good at times, but unnatural at others. The BenQ was also AUD$600 cheaper ($2600 Vs $3200), so I'd sway towards that. Also watched the UHD65 ($5300), now that was nice, but hard to see double the price.

[@wayne997gbro]

On the galaxy note 9 it's only coming up as 1080p was it only filmed in 1080p or 4k?

[@hisgreatness2]

Hi. Great video. Can you provide us with the calibration adjustments you did on the BenQ in Cinema mode? Also, what firmware version it has when you shot this video?

[@lunguradu4431]

Thanks a lot!

[@monk123]

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks a ton. I also came across a new projector viewsonic x10-4k, which is also in the same price range. Would love to know your opinion on it

[@jon_collins]

I don't understand how effective the 4k from a 1080p DMD is, can you walk up to the screen and see 4k pixels? Or are they all kinda blurred together?

[@donovan4009]

What’s biggest screen size the optoma can give me from 3m away from the screen???

[@peterhuang5322]

Can you also review the Benq W5700 and compare it to the Optoma UHD60/65...thanks

[@budgettech5526]

Hi, can you review the new Benq tk850 vs Optoma UHD 52 alv? Great reviews btw.

[@noumanjamshaidali4078]

I’m confused because I have LG hu80ka laser 4k projector it’s bright and sharp but the colors are not accurate so I’m confused should I sell and buy benq ht3550 or stick to my LG hu80ka and I’m also scared of benq 3550 flickers and slipt screen people are saying so please help

[@t.g.876]

You rock, keep up the great reviews! I think the Optoma had slightly better contrast (the strawberries looked better on the Optoma), and looked a little sharper in some instances, but then as you said the BenQ looked better in HDR and had more detail in other instances, perhaps both could be tweaked in settings, very close. Which one handled jutter and had better black levels in your opinion? Was dynamic black engaged on the Optoma and iris on the BenQ?

[@sephiroth4543]

What are the black levels like on both?

[@Rated95]

Hi guys, is possibile to connect a Roku Stick/Amazon Fire stick to these devices? I’m searching for a proper Netflix and TV tuner projectors and an external stick will solve my pain. Thx all

[@rajpamu]

Can you please compare Optoma GT 1080HDR vs Epson Home cinema 3800 / EH-TW7100 ? Also if you can please suggest which one is suitable for 120" screen on living room setup it'll be great help. Thank You :)

[@thierrykrick]

Great video. Do you have by chance footage of the benq with the colors readjusted?

[@allthingstech]

Thierry Krick yes, I’ll use it in my comparison review with the TK800M

[@worldofclassiccultentertai6473]

Does it have 3d and side by side 3d?

[@kadd4332]

What about summer cinema during the night in the garden ? Which one you prefer ?

[@vinodreddy727]

Bro which best benq w2700 or optoma uhd50x ? For dedicated home Theater room. Some times I wish to play Xbox gaming too

[@rolandrohde]

Interesting. While the BenQ looks brighter and more colourful, I thought the Optoma showed more details in some shots and also had a calmer, more fluid image...

[@mrgrehan9981]

Hello thank you for your video. I am running a pub and am wondering would either of these be suitable? The pub does have a lot of open windows. I have in the past with lesser projectors pulled down blinds during the day. I mainly use the projector for sports, but could get into movie nights? I foyu could give me any feedback it would much appreciated.

[@allthingstech]

Mr Grehan the Optoma would be far better for your situation or you could try the BenQ tk600m I did a review recently.

[@vagomaniac]

The w2700 has obviously better contrast and colour... Fan noise is worse and lumens are less. I beleive that with a proper calibration and filter in place the optoma could be better.

[@0544806747]

when the benq800m comparison to the 2700 will appear?

[@helbert8205]

So this is the 52 alv in the usa?

[@jimjack3447]

Great vid, not sure about the Optoma lumens though

[@gianfrancoleto6655]

Sorry I don't speak English and I use the translator. From the images it seems to me the best mistake optoma? Thanks

[@JasonHendry22]

SOZ COULDNT MAKE MIND UP WITH IMAGE COMPARISON AS THE FLICKERING GOT IN WAY OF MY OBSEVASTION. ALSO 28DB V 25 DB IS 3DB DIFFERANCE. I BELIEVE 4 DB IS A SOUND DOUBLING IN LOUDNESS SO 3 DB IS A SIGNIFFICANT INCREASE.

[@noumanjamshaidali4078]

You’re a hero sir thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️ I prefer BenQ because it got too many features

[@Anwar-lk9rx]

Yes, he is hero & ur heroine

[@f.s.212]

A big THANK YOU for that comparison, that's what I want to see and it helps a lot to decide what I want to choose. In my dark home cinema (black walls, no light) the BenQ seems to be the right choice. From my opinion the BenQ has the better colors and also the batter black/darker areas. I think I will buy one in autum :-). In the meantime, do you have a chance to compare the BenQ W2700 with the Epson TW9400? Yes, thats in another price range but I'm interesting in seeing both pictures side by side and a lot of people are also thinking about to buy the Epson instead of the BenQ. Would also be an interesting comparison. But again... Great Job man!!

[@bryanp4827]

Optoma is way better...this nut job doesn't know left from right! LMAO

[@f.s.212]

@@bryanp4827 Sometimes there is the Optoma Sign behind the BenQ sign. Why is that the case? I hope you aren't right Bill but maybe all things tech can give a short statement to that suspicion...

[@iouiou2121]

@@f.s.212 i think the reason it's like that is it is demo footage from optoma which has a watermark in the corner this is common for these demo videos

[@donovan4009]

Which one is better for gaming???

[@ing.eduardomunizrodriguez3554]

Yes please answer this question. I do casual gaming and I’m looking between this 2 projectors. Thanks.

[@chrismitsos6817]

Is it just me? the optoma seems to have better blacks which is more crucial. The benq on the other hand has more vibrant colors and punchy image. How does optoma get deeper blacks on their projectors without a dynamic iris?

[@pb601]

Still waiting for the Vivibright comparison. Don't leave us hanging!

[@bryanp4827]

So why is it that you start with the Optoma on the right, and when you do the hdr test, it's on the left...?

[@chopperg9443]

I’ve been using the Benq ht3550 on the wall. I’m waiting for projector screen to arrive this week. Is there a big difference between a 1.1 gain projector screen and a plain white textured wall?

[@bryanp4827]

@@chopperg9443 ONE HELL OF A DIFFERENCE...

[@budgettech5526]

The flicker is because the Optoma has motion interpolation and the Benq doesn't have it or if it has it, it is set to off.

[@allthingstech]

thanks, i'll look at that.

[@CanoNuevaYork]

Seems the optoma has more detail especially in the whites and colors than the benq which has more pop but clips some detail. Optoma black levels look to be slightly better as well. Just off these images.

[@mr.g1123]

Hi guys, I have a room with 4,40m width, 3,00m height and 4,50m length. Will those beamers be able to fill the whole wall and keep the quality? Thanks !

[@allthingstech]

Max size is around 120 inch for great quality, you’ll get this from around 10ft

[@mr.g1123]

all things tech Thanks! Which Beamer would you suggest for 135 inch?

[@wrecktifier1]

So, what do the specs say 500,000 - 1 vs 30,000 - 1 when you don't really see any difference side by side? Be nice if there was a standard test for contrast ratio. Blacks look slightly better on Benq if you compare black to black frame on wall and picture is slightly brighter, red looks better on Optoma, other colors look better on Benq. Yea, numbers for contrast ratio mean nothing, I guess companies can say what ever they want.

[@donovan4009]

Is the BenQ brighter in reality???? Because in the video the BenQ seems brighter but on paper the optoma has more lumens

[@AntoG4RS]

From specs the Optoma should be brighter than the Benq (3000 vs 2000 lumens), however all the images from BENQ in this video look brighter (is it because of camera recording settings?). This is a very important question! Without an answer to this, the whole review does not come to a conclusion. This requires to be answered by the author of the video.

[@arturb5152]

Optoma has more acurate colors :-)

[@nhuhuong4202]

This projector gets the job done pretty well. kzbin.infoUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.

[@emilholmgrenmusic]

I really enjoy my BenQ W2700 in my living room with the blinds closed and blackout curtains drawn ❤ I'd really like to know where you got this demo material from, though!

[@keenankbarnes9607]

Should I get the benq HT2550 or the optima uhd 50

Benq isn't close in reality, this guy doesn't know left from right! LMAO

[@bryanp4827]

UHD 50...It's what I'm getting...way sharper, better contrast, better colour accuracy

[@keenankbarnes9607]

Chill Bill yeah I think I might get the optima

[@stephanledford9792]

What is confusing with the comparisons is that sometimes the BenQ is on one side of the screen and in the next comparison it is on the other side. Very informative video otherwise.

[@peachcityshankar1174]

👌🔥🙏

[@breakingmoney3077]

BenQ for sure. Way more color and pop. But really close like your could go either way.

No me creo esta analisis el beng 2400 lumens el optoma 3200lumens parece que el obtoma tenga las luces muertas donde esta ese brillo de 3200 lumenes?Que alguien me lo explique.

[@pilinke11]

Optoma tiene 3200 lumenes de blancos y de color no son 3200, benq los colores se ven más saturado podría ser que por eso se ven más brillantes

[@Manoj_Rajanna]

How is BenQ w2700 compared to Optoma UHD60???

[@JesusSavesSinners]

Why??? You do know the Optoma UHD60 is 3 years old.... Optoma has much better and cheaper newer projectors like the UHD30

[@2Drezik]

lets do the tk850 now :) twin brother of w2700

[@allthingstech]

Waiting for it to arrive!

[@2Drezik]

@@allthingstech i'm really curious for a real battle between these two. i've heard it's very good and upgraded chip. (no bugs at all) After they messed up, benq should have dropped a real v2 W2700... it's a shame, because buying one is a gamble...

[@Splendiddddd]

Please stop doing that subscribe/bell thing, its really annoying... To get rid of the flicker, adjust your camera shutter speed up until it goes away and then compensate the exposure with your iris. I have tested the optima UHD51 and the W2700, and the W2700 is way better imho. Picture is much better tonemapped then the Optima imo. I returnded the UHD51 after a day of testing. The optima has one fatal flaw, and thats the huge light border because its a older gen DLP chip. Also in my situation the W2700 could generate a slightly bigger screen for my room. I also noticed that the uniformity of the UHD51 was more of then the W2700. However, the W2700 has already been in repair because of a split screen bug in the firmware, this can only be fixed by Benq them selves. But i must say i am really happy with it and the service was very good. This all was more then 10 months ago. Keep up the good work :-)

[@allthingstech]

Thanks - I like the W2700 over time it's great!

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

You can't make a fair comparison without calibrating them. Factory calibrated is a load of shit, your room is not in their factory. Those specs are WAY off too, one is giving the contrast ratio in a different standard too. No way they are that far different.
