side by side comparison with jvc is very helpful. please include those comparisons for all your future reviews.

[@massarock23]

Can you double check on the .47 chip? I think its .65 chip

[@craigosterberg5045]

Thanks for sharing

[@massiveian]

How does this compare to the ht4550? Im looking for a laser projector for 100" at 9ft and these both seem to hit that spot

[@Amar0kh]

THank you for the review, is it noisy?

[@plexusgamer1105]

Would you recommend this if we already own a TK 700STi that's barely a year old from purchase?

[@codyb7581]

Dang, HDMI 2.0 and EARC ... BUT the android TV dongle doesn't support Dolby Atmos??? Am I thinking about this right?

[@doyleshafer]

A REVIEW!!! Awesome and appreciated sir.

[@DerrickLorah]

How does this compare to the X500i? Is the loss in color/contrast worth no RBE + more brightness? I'm also considering the TH690ST to save on costs since people rave about the image quality of that projector.

[@wadebrewer7212]

Decent picture without changing bulbs...thats what I'm after.

[@jon1913]

5 years ago, this projector at this price point would have been amazing but comparing it next to the JVC really puts things into perspective. At $2k it's still pretty impressive but I would expect a lower black floor or reduced RBE. Neither of those things seem to have been addressed and the color saturation seems worse the the HT4550. I'm not sure the price point makes up for the lack of color and contrast. Maybe an in person demo would change my mind but it generally looks washed out and not worth $2000.

[@kl5799]

At 55 sec, you mention that BenQ uses the 0.47 chip, but I've seen conflicting info that it's using the 0.65 chip. Can you confirm?

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Shane Buddy. 🙏🏻

[@Sivakumar59999]

Hey shane , Make seperate video about ur Screen Innoviation Screen.

[@excxflyr]

Any comments on fan noise?

[@therealshanelee]

It’s about the same as the jvc.

[@chrichtonsworld1]

So how does this compare to the 700STi? That one was specifically aimed as a gaming projector. Less for films. And yes, the black levels aren't the best. But I do mostly use it to watch my films (on a 100 inch) screen and especially the 4K HDR films look magnificent. Compared to previous projectors I owned, this easily rocks. Somebody was asking about fan noise. It's at it's loudest in normal mode but I barely notice it. In ECO mode it reduces the sound by half. ECO mode is nice when brightness isn't that important but if you have it in this mode too long, the image will flicker. Going back to normal mode fixes this. I am confused about the 710STi. I barely see a difference apart from being less suitable for gaming. It's also a lot more expensive.

[@therealshanelee]

It's brighter and has a laser instead of a lamp so it'll last longer.

[@saintkamus14]

Wait, wait, wait, WAIT! Did you spend 7k on a 150" screen? Man, you just made me feel a lot better about spending ~$800 on a 150", 1.7 gain ALR fresnel screen with some actual engineering on it. (It's for regular and short throw projectors, not USTs) 😅

[@donjaun540]

Nice video Shane. I wonder how it compares to the Dangbei DBO Xo2 $2000 MODEL.

[@therealshanelee]

Never heard of Dangbei. Sounds cheap.

[@donjaun540]

@@therealshanelee Same price Shane and claims to be about the same. I gave you the exact model number so you can if you want to look it up.

[@chandan6119]

@@therealshanelee actually they measure well for a low cost projector. there are many new Chinese players now with decent specs.
