Purchased for a golf simulator set up. Easy to set up and calibrate. Great picture and love this projextor

For my first projector, I originally wanted the BenQ 2150st but missed out on the Black Friday refurb deals. I noticed a brand new projector while checking back on refurb BenQs - the BenQ TH671st. I figured I'd get that one and if I didn't like it, I'd return it and hold out for a deal on the 2150st. However, after receiving and testing out the TH671st I was more than impressed with it! I first tested with Mad Max: Fury Road, Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 and Horizon Zero Dawn from my PS4 Pro. Colors and details were amazing! No way this projector was going back, it's a keeper! My small apt doesn't even have good light control with eggshell colored walls and beige carpet so there is a lot of reflected ambient light. Also, I don't even have a projector screen yet so I'm just projecting onto a wall. With all that going against the projector, the TH671st image is bright, colorful and detailed. I do plan on getting a proper screen and making my apt more projector friendly, (darker paint, black curtains, black area rug, etc). For gamers this projector is fantastic! I've only played Horizon Zero Dawn but there is zero lag, just awesome response from the controller throughout playing time. This projector is advertised as a gaming projector but movies are awesome on this thing! I watched, (the first) John Wick and the reds and blues in the night club scene were beautiful. Guardians of the Galaxy vol:2 looked stunning, the colors in the opening credits scene and the blues and golds of the Sovereign throne room are spectacular. Impressive contrast and that would be even better in a dedicated home theater room. I tested some different sizes with the projector. The largest was about a 180" image and it looks great! However at that size, the pixels are visible from where I was sitting at about 9 or 10 feet away. I even projected onto my wall with windows and closed blinds, (see pics) and still impressive image quality! I actually shifted my furniture around so I could project onto my larger 16' long by 9' high wall. I checked out the 3d on this projector too. Watching Doctor Strange and Thor Ragnarok - which I had to order through Zavvi - was very impressive. Good 3d and image was a decent brightness, (only displays 3d in Vivid mode) using True Depth 3d dlp link glasses. I'm looking forward to finally seeing Avatar in 3d with this projector! The image is bright at 3000 rated lumens! Even during daytime with slightly closed blinds, (south facing windows) the image is good although much better with fully closed blinds or curtains. Sound is not the best however with only a single, 5 watt speaker. It's ok but if you're projecting a big image, you'll want a big sound! I ended up purchasing a Yamaha ats - 1070 soundbar w/DTX and it's much improved the cinematic experience. I do see a little "rainbow effect" with this projector, mainly in first viewings and it seems the more I watch, the less I see it or maybe notice it. Your mileage may vary as far as that goes. This projector is lighter than I expected! So easy to maneuver around and just to handle. If you're not ceiling mounting this, it's very easy to move around and find the perfect spot for it. It would also be easy to bring to a friend or family for a movie night! The box it comes in doubles as a carrying case with handle! I was going to give the TH671st projector a 4 star review due to the small speaker size and slight rainbow effect but at 750.00 for an amazing projector I can look past those 2 very small cons. It also left me with more funds for a soundbar and 3d glasses. A great deal on a brand new projector! This will hold me over until 4k/hdr prices come down and ATSC 3.0 is here. All the attention now seems to be towards 4k/HDR projectors but do NOT underestimate 1080p projectors like this one! So I definitely recommend this projector! I have a few posts on AVS forums about the TH671st with a vid under username euskadi71. Also check out posts from user sage11x there as well.

Absolutely love this projector. It was easy to set up and easy to adjust. I was concerned and considered hiring someone to set it up but figured I'd try myself first. Love the picture. We use it for gaming and for movies. Especially love the 3d movies that we watch with this projector. 1080P and sub $800 makes this a no brainer.
