Great Projector!
Amazing picture equal to top TVs, I was blown away by the clarity and even sound before I connected my surround components. Have this ceiling mounted in basement as part of home theater to a 120” screen and it doesn’t disappoint.

Perfect projector for entry level and enthusiasts!
We built a new home with a small media room about 10'x14' and after reviewing the throw distance of various projectors this is the one I settled on. My use was to be movie nights as well as casual gaming. First off, the setup of this projector was so easy. Simply plugin and adjust the focus and you're ready to go! I would suggest buying a quality mount to make it easier on you. I went with a $14 mount and although it works now it wasn't the easiet to adjust. The picture on this projector is outstanding!! I can't believe the quality of the image when viewing 4k videos. You'll def want to buy a proper screen and only use this projector in a light-controlled room though as it will fade when light enters the room. As far as gaming, I did not notice any input lag but I am only playing things such as RDR II and GTAV. Haven't tried anything "twitchy" but I am getting too old for those quick movements anyways. The projector is mounted above my head and although you can def hear the fan noise it doesn't bother me (which actually surprised me as I am sensitive to noises like this). I will point out that this puts out a lot of heat so make sure you can keep your room comfortable. I am sure all projectors fall into this category though. Also - do not put the lamp in eco modes because it will not work with dynamic iris. I had to learn the hard way! Overall I am very happy and impressed with my first projector and not regretting this choice at all. You won't be disappointed.

Best 4K projector hands down for the price!
Easy install like any other projector. Uses 3 mounting holes for ceiling bracket. Initial setup very easy and user friendly. Picture quality is phenomenal! Great color, amazing blacks, and HDR is excellent. Ensure you have a high speed newer HDMI cable supporting 4K and 3D. I’m projecting on a 120” screen and love it! The 3D is amazing! For those that say not bright enough, they didn’t do basic research as BENQ specifically states this model HT3550 is for dark rooms and the TK800M is for room with more daylight. My first purchase came defective as half of screen had white vertical lines. However, nobody can really know if came out of factory this way or this occurred during shipping process. I called BENQ to see if they would exchange and all calls go to voice mail. To this day I never got a call back from them. Still extremely happy with this purchase! Don’t hesitate to buy this model if you have a dark theater / media room.

Use to love Benq
Within 6 months the hdmi 1 port stopped working and I was lazy and didnt want to deal with sending it in. So I switched to hdmi 2. Here I am a little over 6 months later and hdmi 2 goes out. And I still owe over a 1000 dollars on a useless projector. Nice. Thanks a lot Benq.
