BenQ V7050i Ultra Short Throw Laser TV In-Depth Projector Review

[@carlm189]

Would like to see comparison between this and some of its competitors. Especially the Optoma P2 seeing as they are the only two with 3D at the moment!

[@ProjectorScreen]

@@SFBenjaminK We are familiar with the Vava unit and are an authorized reseller for it. We've incorporated it into our UST shootout series as well and you will get to see it head to head against the BenQ V7050i soon.

[@biogons14]

Just a comment about the Ti DMD chip. The pico .47" DMD chip is recomended to use in light systems with less than 1500 lumens; the most of the UST Laser Tvs have lum levels over 2000, and use the standard DLP470 chip.

[@jasoncorrea2021]

Question: As far as black levels goes... Optoma P2 or Benq V7050i? Great reviews!! Keep up the great work!

[@ProjectorScreen]

They measured pretty close, but the V7050i provides a superior image and won 1st place in the 2022 LaserTV Showdown, whereas the P2 came in last: www.projectorscreen.com/blog/2022-laser-tv-showdown-ultra-short-throw-projector-shootout

[@andrewbaimbridge6961]

Could you possibly compare this projector to the Optoma CinemaX P2? I'm not sure which would have the best image quality, and seeing them in a shootout would be very entertaining. I appreciate you guys!

[@tc-vo5ux]

Based on image quality alone, would this benq projector, or the epson 6050ub be the better choice

[@soilwotk7826]

Hi! I have the bengq v7050i and a als screen, the projector and screen is aligned but the right side of the screen is a lite bit blurry, what can be the problem? Thanks in advance! Much love frome Sweden.

[@user-bi1]

Interms of picture quality v7050i Or x3000i for watching movies in 80% dark room suggest one

[@ProjectorScreen]

V7050i for sure

[@ejjeng2994]

Can you use Benq too a outdoor screening?

[@darcygawlik6866]

Would this pair well with an ALR screen that has a 0.6 gain? I can control lighting but watching sports i like to have some lights on in the room.

[@ProjectorScreen]

Yes, as long as the ALR is specifically meant for UST projectors.

[@DutchGuy_Limburg]

Does the 3 year Warranty cover dead pixels from the DLP chip?

[@SpenceJT]

Regarding the 3D on the BenQ v7050i ...are you able to manually enable 3D mode for the viewing of side-by-side 3D content from KZbin?

[@fathmi]

When the projector is in filmmaker mode, does it make the frame rate to 24 fps or gets rid of 24 fps?

[@soilwotk7826]

Hi! I have the V7050i projector at home, I want to buy a screen, should the UST screen habe 0.8 gain or 0.6? Thanks

[@ProjectorScreen]

It really depends on your room as well as the screen. Not all screens advertised at the same gain are actually the same and also have various levels of quality based on other factors.

[@JPCHANNEL-l8o]

What is the différence to Thé V6000?

[@IPeeOrange]

Thanks for the review. Does this projector support hooking up a sound bar with Dolby Atmos capability?

[@ProjectorScreen]

It has an HDMI eArc so as long as your sound at has an HDMI input, yes

[@IPeeOrange]

Thank you for confirming the eARC support. I am torn between this projector and the Hisense L9G. Does the HDMI 2.1 and eARC support from the L9G justify the price difference? I will be using the projector strictly for tv shows, sports and movie watching only. I have a Samsung HW-Q950T and I am basically looking for the best visual and audio sound bar experience.

[@ProjectorScreen]

@@IPeeOrange for a single laser unit, this v7059i is really awesome. The L9 is a triple laser which has its advantages. The hdmi 2.1 is still limited to 4k60 due to the .47” DLP chip, but eArc does provide superior audio.

[@johnrussell9263]

Great video, only having 2 HDMI ports is a deal breaker for me. The P2 has 3 so if you want to use a dongle at least you still have the ARC and 1 extra HDMI port. I currently have a BENQ 1080p short throw along with a 120in screen, also have a 70in 4k tv but looking to get rid of both and get an UST with a 100in ALR screen. It's either the P2 or LS500, which one do you recommend. I'm only a casual gamer so the input lag isn't that big of a deal

[@ProjectorScreen]

Are you using the onboard sound? If so, the P2 is a better solution than the LS500, but if you are using an external sound system (with an AV receiver) than the # of ports on the projector itself isn't very important since the receiver switches between the devices. Let me know about receiver and I'll give you my recommendation ;)

[@ahoerauf94]

what's your recommendation for ALR/CLR screen? Aeon CLR3, Akia CLR 4, Grandview Dynamique?

[@ProjectorScreen]

Grandview Dynamique for sure out of those. I woudl also suggest the Elite Screens DarkUST, which is better than any of their CLR materials and performs similarly to the Dynamique. Akia is Elite's "cheap" brand and I wouldn't recommend anything from that line.

[@ThongNguyen-sx7sw]

How do you feel about this vs the Hisense px1 pro? Any advice and opinion is welcome. Thank you

[@ProjectorScreen]

Brief, informal side by side - px1-pro seems to have the edge with its triple laser engine, but I plan on calibrating and incorporating them against each other in our UST shootout series very soon. The Benq V7050i is still one of the best single laser UST's available

[@ThongNguyen-sx7sw]

Thank you so much for reply. Looking forward to your future shoot out

[@PAUmerica]

So Brian, Benq v7050i or Hisense 120L5f .... Then amuse question with Benq 7050i or Hisense 120l10e ? (as far as brightness for ambient light, sharpness, and vidid picture with HDR and mainly for watching tv shows or series and sports.)

[@ProjectorScreen]

Those models are old news; check out the latest from Hisense here in our first-look at the new L9G: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enPCaZ6Df6mhqq8

[@davidthompson1596]

How's the input lag? I'm looking to upgrade from the Epson ls300 but I want something good for the new consoles and 3d support

[@ProjectorScreen]

The input lag is pretty high on this unit; one of it's main weaknesses. For gaming/low lag Epson's USTs are still the way to go right now.

[@philwang9194]

I heard this BenQ projector dongle, did not have Netflix app which maybe a deal breaker. Can I use other stream devices instead of supplied Android TV dongle?

[@johnrussell9263]

It has HDMI ports, you can literally hook anything up to it you want

[@benjiebarker]

Is there an emergency release for the sunroof if it gets stuck?

[@ProjectorScreen]

Unfortunately not; you will have to call the fire department and ask them to bring the Jaws of Life. 😁

[@renemedrano6689]

Thanks for providing with such a great review. What screen model would you pair it with?

[@ProjectorScreen]

Any screen from this link would get our thumbs up to pair with this projector or any other of the 4K Laser USTs: www.projectorscreen.com/projector-screens/special-features/ultra-short-throw-ust?sort=PriceAsc

[@arielalaniz6057]

Hey Brian. What has a better pq. Benq V7050i or Optoma p2?

[@ProjectorScreen]

Publicly, I am going to say wait until the shootout video is published ;) Feel free to give us a call at 1-888-392-4814 and speak with one of our specialists for a more in depth answer and comparison until then.

[@elduderino3808]

What screen are you using in this video with the V7050i?

[@ProjectorScreen]

The Grandview Dynamique.

[@vt733]

Colors look beautiful n natural..thumbs up for benq on this ust 👍

[@ProjectorScreen]

I agree, this UST kicks some serious butt!

[@joeydelmarsjr.646]

so v7050i then the optima p2 then the samsung then the LG, epson then hisense then vava? in that order or ...

[@ProjectorScreen]

No, not in that order. A rule of thumb that seems to be holding true with our UST testing is that the more expensive units have better images but there are also other factors that come into play as well.

[@sxiong13]

Was it easy to aligned the project to the screen.

[@ProjectorScreen]

Yes, but that being said we have a lot of experience with USTs and screen alignment so it is generally going to be easier for us than people with less experience.

[@Oz-Jameson]

Great video, been waiting for this projector for a while now, how would you compare this BenQ against the Samsung UST thanks

[@ProjectorScreen]

Samsung has 2 different USTs. The LSP7T is competitive to this but is substiantially less bright. The more expensive LSP9T is still the king of the hill.

[@TylerStout]

How's the contrast on this compared to other UST projectors?

[@ProjectorScreen]

Visually it looks on par if not better than other comparably priced units however we have not had a chance to do our measurements yet.

[@LegendaryOldwarrior]

Great video as always. A few questions for you. Is pure motion good on this for sports and fast action? Also do you think this can go up to 150 inch? I know some projectors say 120, but other people have push it to 150 with no changes with quality. Also any word on them making a ALR UST screen that goes up to 150? So far I haven't seen one yet.

[@ProjectorScreen]

You wont be seeing any 150" ALR screens for UST anytime soon as far as I know unforutnately :(. Pushing this UST beyond the 120" will result in softening of the focus around the outsides. I haven't tried beyond the 120" yet since we dont have a screen setup larger than that to test it against. I would be wary of those who claim that there is no no loss in quality when pushing an image size beyond what the manufacturer states it supports while retaining focus. Those are probably the same people who say that the screen makes no difference and that their wall does jsut fine ;)

[@LegendaryOldwarrior]

@@ProjectorScreen lol yea I hear you on the wall thing. Just a huge difference with a UST screen over a wall. One guy uses 150 inch screen but it's not a true UST screen. So you have to keep less light or no light to get good quality. Yea I guess I'm just going to have to settle for 120 and hope my wife let's me upgrade to 150 if they do make one and if I get a UST, like vava, that does that.

[@LegendaryOldwarrior]

@@ProjectorScreen Btw since I got you here, what do you think about OMMC 4K UHD Laser TV Home Theatre Projector? I haven't seen reviews on it, but on amazon and using the fakespot review addon this one has a good grade, but no one has done a youtube review on it. Is that something you all will take a look at? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JCR6SCM?pf_rd_r=R4SSE4C5SSA8HTQXAK5N&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=89a8b7a3-2caa-4758-aee0-539441e7b5d5&pd_rd_w=r6Xp6&pd_rd_wg=FyHr0&ref_=pd_gw_unk

[@ProjectorScreen]

@@LegendaryOldwarrior I've never heard of that brand. OMMC, if you're listening - send me a unit to review so I can tell @LegendaryOldwarrior what I think!

[@ProjectorScreen]

@@LegendaryOldwarrior For screens larger than 120" or for customers who don't want/need ALR the Stewart Filmscreen Greymatte 0.7 is our top choice: www.projectorscreen.com/stewart-filmscreen?Attribs=6306& It can also be perforated for acoustical transparency.

[@kananeesh7900]

BenQ VS7050I vs Samsung LSP9T, if price was not a factor, which is the better projector in terms of color, brightness, noise and 4K clarity? Love your channel! The absolute best on breakdowns

[@ProjectorScreen]

Generally speaking you can assume the more expensive projector will have the better image.

[@shahwalizaman9502]

aldp 4.0?

[@CineTechReviews]

What about Input lag for gaming ?

[@ProjectorScreen]

It's pretty high at around 80ms.

[@DreamSProductionCo.]

It’s any rainbow effect?

[@ProjectorScreen]

It is possible since it has a color wheel, but I did not notice any. That being said, I am not very succeptible to it

[@vt733]

tried the smoke signal but gt no response, will try the pigeon method now [fingers crossed]

[@ProjectorScreen]

Your pigeon pooped on my car! Give us a shout via phone @ 1-888-392-4814

[@alexchen475]

the input lag is the largest con. I need a 4K gaming UST.

[@ProjectorScreen]

The Epson LS500 is still our top choice for that: www.projectorscreen.com/epson?Attribs=6377+6231

[@victorpulos823]

If benq takes away the color wheel projector be better

[@victorpulos823]

Cool looking ust projector but it has rainbow effects

[@ProjectorScreen]

The person on the team who is most susceptible to rainbows didn't see any which is promising.

[@victorpulos823]

@@ProjectorScreen cool but I am person see’s rainbow effects easily

[@ProjectorScreen]

@@victorpulos823 Gotta go LCD then my friend. Some people have reported seeing rainbows with the triple laser units (LSP9T, HU85LA) but never with the Epson LS500.

[@Trevorbailey-i7s]

I think everyone is waiting for the hisense l9g

[@ProjectorScreen]

The L9G is a killer projector and you get a tremendous bang for your buck with it: www.projectorscreen.com/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=l9g&CatID=0

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

First even though there were other videos out before yours

[@ProjectorScreen]

Yes, the first here in the USA. We put out a shorter “first look” video before this one and we’re not allowed to publish this in depth one before 8/9 per BenQ.

[@extreme81]

This is a trilaser....optoma p2 is not trilaser.

[@ProjectorScreen]

This is a single laser, just as the P2 is.
