Standard throw projectors typically need to be at least 6 feet away while short throw and ultra short throw projectors can be placed closer to the screen for use in smaller rooms.)
    • Portability: Fixed (Fixed projectors are ideal when creating an authentic theater atmosphere in your home. Often designed to stay in one place they may require significant recalibration if moved.

Ultra-portable projectors are very light, often battery-powered, and ideal for on-the-go use.)

Q: Starting to build my home theater. Is this a good projector to start with. Looking for help to build my dream home theater.

A: Yes, it looks really bright even with some light. Clear picture, when I play games you can't notice the lag, just need to adjust the colors a lill to get the picture that you want. I have it setup on a 106 in screen. Movies look amazing. Great projector to start. That picture is on the wall, looks way better with the screen.

Q: Does this projector have the capability to connect with bluetooth speakers or other wireless speakers for surround sound effect?

A: Thanks for your interest on BenQ projectors; you can connect your external speakers via Bluetooth by adding a Bluetooth adapter onto the 3.5mm Audio-out port of our projectors, or via a 3.5mm audio cable. Hope this helps

Q: Does this projector work well outside?

A: Thanks for your interest on HT2050A. From the portability point of view, it's for sure a easier solution compared to TV display or other brand's projectors in the same class. In terms of the picture quality, most of home projectors do not support daytime application (normally it's supported by those Pro AV projectors at much higher prices), so you might want to find a outdoor place with certain level of light control. Also, we have TH685 and TH685i, which are the brother models of HT2050A with higher brightness to support those usage requires some ambient lights. At the end, if you are looking for some outdoor proof ultra portable projectors, we do have our GS series projector like GS2 available you could take a look at it. Hope this helps.

Q: Am I am to connect external audio via HDMI?

A: Yes, HDMI should allow for audio.
