Nice but $6k is too much. I'd rather get the Apple Vision Pro.
Damn I wish I could afford one of these I fell in love with projectors a year ago!
Nice but $6k is too much. I'd rather get the Apple Vision Pro.
I really miss my W2700-it was an absolute beast. However, after moving to a place with too many windows, it was practically unusable during the day.
I do miss the cinematic experience. Watching Titanic on that projector was incredible. Now, I have a 77-inch Samsung, which is great, but I still long for the projector setup. The cost, though, is a significant barrier. A decent projector can run about $9k, and then you'll need a sound system, adding another $2k. It's pricey to maintain. If only I didn't have a wife! :D PS: Amazing review. One day, I'll get this... one day.
It sure is an expensive hobby!
Agree have a 2700 in a light controlled room and its amazing, I still want a W5800
Great beamer. I use the W2710 and the sharpness and contrast is great. But you mentioned true or native 4k beamer. This is not correct. It has a 1080p DLP chip with e shift to reach 4k. But not native. Those are much more expensive 🤷🏼🤜🏼❤️🤛🏼
Yes correct its not native.. I put the overlay as native incorrectly.
This is an excellent video, Tony. Especially compared to my janky W5800 review.
Thanks David, I’ll go give yours a watch! I never watch other videos until I release mine so I don’t get any bias :) I’m not a professional calibrator like you - purely enthusiast with a passion to learn. I also decided not to measure or calibrate for this review to test how it worked out of the box. So many angles u can take with a video.
@@BuildMontage @DavidSusiloUnscripted neither of you seem to have an issue with the incredibly low contrast ratio? Am I missing something here? I want to try one of these but with 900:1 native it seems pretty hard to believe it is as good as you guys say??
@@laserdischometheater1508 @builtmontage yes the contrast ratio is not great but the native contrast ratio only tells part of the story. The other part of the story is the HDR handling done by the 1000 zones HDR dimming based on frame-by-frame analysis making it the best DLP projector on the market. Having a good contrast ratio but with poor HDR handling such as the Sony X5000 making me choose the W5800 than the Sony X5000.
Great video
Thanks mate
Thank you for this review. Very helpful. How much would you rate the black levels on 10? 8.5?
Relative black levels are awesome but if u see CinemaScope there are still bars. The footage in the video isn’t modified.
I have to thank you for this review and the videos you took. Videos like this convinced me to give this one a shot and wow am i surprised. This projector is amazing, sure black levels arent JVC level if screen is completely dark but everything else beats JVC up to and including RS2100 IMO. Any scene with mix of black and bright and the black level is amazing. Its only the folks that drool over a black screen that will have issues with this one.
Well I do have a JVC but this was honestly really good
@@BuildMontage yeah DLP fans finally have a true home theater (not lifestyle) projector option in the realistic price space.
@laserdischometheater1508 it’s very sharp and bright. Single chip dlp = bright and sharp but does lack contrast. Still a beautiful image
Great review. I’m happy to see that laser projectors are gaining some steam in the home theater world.
I still worry that projectors will become obsolete in time due to larger and larger TVs. I think that there will also be a market, but hopefully manufacturers don’t entirely jump ship
They will never be obsolete mate.
Great review. I feel like the HT4550i would be a better bang for your buck. How would you compare the two in regards to black levels and brightness?
I feel the w5800 is better overall brighter and better black levels but also a sharper image.
Nice review Tony, would have been good for you to test 4k 120hz and 1080p 240hz modes.
So are the blacks that much better on the Epson? Guess both great at this price point.
Cheers
This video may answer your questions about black levels. And no, it doesn’t do 4K/120 (I made a mistake in my video, didn’t realize that I was playing 1080/120)
BenQ W5800 Laser Projector WORLD’s FIRST REVIEW AND COMPARISONS of
th-cam.com/video/W_cK0K7TH0g/w-d-xo.html
I cover black levels in the video. Check chapter markers. Nothing like my JVC but it’s a dlp light engine and calibrated with 2.2 gamma which is pretty high. I’m running 2.6 in sdr on my JVC. Also the reason I didn’t test higher frame rates is because it’s a cinema projector so the angle I took was for movies more so than gaming. I recently did a review of the Benq gaming projector.
Did it look better on your non ALR screen and much gain difference on screen your main room.
Think I'll have to back to back comparison in shop when ready.
Do you recommend use this porjector with a ALR CLR 3 projector screen? I have a Samsun lsp9t but my plan is to sell it to buy the benq w5800 instead.
I don't know if that screen will work 100% with that projector. I did have a ceiling mounted projector running from my AEON CLR projector screen and it actually worked! You could always test it out and then just replace the screen if it doesn't look right. I know people will say 100% you can't use it but i was shocked to see it actually looked quite good.
Thank you Tony. How would you compare the picture quality to the HT4550?
It’s better and brighter but also double the price.
@@BuildMontage I mean compared to my old TK800M it will be night and day with either one.
Sweet review, really appreciate it. I wish this was available when I bought my LS12000 in October. When I bought mine I was considering the 5000es and NP5. At that time the NP5 was $7000 and ironically back then I thought they were overpriced. Since then JVC has brought them down to $5000. The Sony was a no go because of no power lens shift and lens memory so I went with the LS12000. The W5800 looks really promising. It has a lot calibration controls, color accuracy, and sharpness with decent black levels. How is the tone mapping? Thanks again for your help.
Thanks Percy, and the LS12000b is definitely still a great projector and I'm sure you would be loving it. The NP5 was my personal choice as I wanted the inky blacks and didnt mind having a bulb. I had an Epson 6040UB for a few years and it served me well as Im sure the Epson would for you also. The tone mapping was nice on the w5800 - I find the colours on the Benq to be insanely good, very "cinematic" although I hate that word these days!
@@BuildMontage yeah the blacks on the LS12000 are good. It is a nice a projector for sure. I watched The Woman King a few days ago in the theater and the LS12000 throws a really good picture. Thanks again for everything you do.
@@percybedford6266 appreciate you watching :)
Hi, I have a question, purely analyzing the quality of the images, contrast and details, is the W4000 superior? (detail/contrast) I'm undecided between the two despite having different prices (I'm not interested in the motorized optic) I hope for your answer. Thank you
I have to go by my memory and while I liked the w4000i, I feel that direct comparison that the w5800 is a superior projector. I know people complaining by the "specs" saying its a .47"DMD DLP, however, look at the footage I took.. it's pretty incredible image in my opinion. It is brighter than the w4000i, and I feel has better contrast - going from my memory.. It's hard to say one way or the other as you have a lot of factors to consider. But asking a direct choice - I'd pick the w5800.
Hey Tony, honestly is it that much better than the w4000i, given that it is using the .47 inch chip, instead of the .65 in the 4000i? And especially the price point difference...
I tested both. The brightness from this one definitely makes a difference and also the colours are more vivid. I’ve reviewed both. I try to be objective. Personally I’m a JVC fanatic so I have to try and forget. I do agree the .65” DMD may have been a better choice. I’ve reviewed many Benq projectors but I was seriously impressed with this one. The footage speaks for itself. I have no agenda… I just put the time in and try to give a real honest opinion based on what I experience.
Great review. What would be the key difference between W4000i VS W5800 ?? Planned to purchase W4000i then came across W5800 Can you please suggest.
You can watch my review on the w4000i on my channel as well for a similar style review. Off hand, main differences are higher brightness on the w5800 and overall it feels very similar in colours but brightness and contrast is better on the w5800.. Plus it's a laser light vs LED.. otherwise, typical BENQ, very good colours and options to calibrate.
Is it Native 4K? Would it really make a difference? Thanks for the wonderful review! At last, one that wins me over for getting one!
Yes it's a native 4K panel and yes, it's super sharp and I was able to get the focus dialled in very nicely which is why it looked so good in the recordings.
It’s not Native 4K
It uses the .47 DLP chip ( with a 1080p native resolution) with 4 X Pixel shifting.
While I haven't dealt with others, BenQ also has really good/responsive customer service. Never an issue with them when needed
🤜🤛
Does this projector have lens memory, anyone knows ?
For a dedicated home theater which would you recommend the w5800 or the Sony vpl es5000
I would go the BENQ due to the electronic lens shift, zoom and multitude of calibration controls. Possibly you may say the Sony panel and native 4K is better overall but I prefer the look of the w5800 over the sony personally having viewed both.
w5800 vs ls1200b
I own a BenQ LK970 and am looking to upgrade it to something even better. I have owned it now for 4 years and have been impressed with it colors and Lumens. Would you say that the BenQ W5800 is better and a great improvement over the BenQ LK970 or do you even know?
I havent tested that older model, but this one stacks up VERY nicely. If I was in the market for a new one with that sort of budget I would definitely get it.
I don't think I can ever go back from JVC. They just look soooo damn good. The prices are pretty insane on the higher end models though.
Yep which is why I have an NP5 in my dedicated room:)
Hi
I have 6.8 mm into 6.1 mm room. Is 6.8 mm enough to optain 200 inch 4.7 in 2.13 mm screen
That is a huge screen and pushing the light limitations of the projector. Large screens like that need really high LUMENS output to give more than 40-50nits.
Thanks for your feedback. But this is exactly what W5800 said is capable of giving 200 inch exactly. I have already bought the 200 inch screen. Should I buy the W5800. I am willing to have magificant 4K at dark light cinematic room
Greeting All
What I am trying to say. The specification mentions that 200 inch can be given within 6.7 to 10.8 mm from the lens. Now, if my room is exactly 6.8 mm from the wall, that's means I will lose some cm distance from beginning of the projector to the lens which give me about 6 meter or 6.2 distance from lens to the wall (screen). With this fact, is the projector still give the 200 inch?. Is their another recommended model that can give 100 nits or more with same room size and with same price of w5800 or less?
Regards,
Considering that the JVC NP5 is now $5,000 in the US, it sounds like it would be the easy pick over the BenQb for people in America.... The only things that I would think the BenQ has over the JVC is the lower fan noise and lack of needing to replace a lamp every 1,000 s-1500 hours.
Hey mate, if u saw I mentioned the np5 but I was trying to keep it to laser projectors. The nz7 is 17K. Np5 for me is the sweet spot but not everyone wants bulbs especially if in Europe.
On the other hand, perhaps a silver lining to the JVC is that once its lamp runs out, you can just get another lamp. While with a laser projector, once the laser reaches its end of life, I think that’s just it?
@@handcoding I didn't think anyone would use or own a projector long enough for the laser light to start to dim or"burn out", but if there was a defect and it had a short life, then yes, it would be easier to replace a lamp in the JVC.
@@TerminatorJuice You make a fair point. With a rated life of 20,000 hours, even if you were to use the projector for 3 hours a day and for 365 days a year, it should still last 18 years.
@@handcoding I feel like I've used my NP5 a ton since I got it in March 2023, yet I'm only at around 570 hours... So yeah, I wouldn't be worried about replacing a laser in a lifetime! Haha
2 videos in one week!
Yes mate… working hard!!
Man, I wish lens memory function was on more projectors
Definitely adds to the price of the projector. Look at Sonys offering its 10K and manual :)
@@BuildMontageunderstandable. But if it's got motorized zoom and focus you would think they could at least have some save points for the different sized screens to be able to zoom in to fill your Cinema wide and zoom out and then just add a couple save points. Lover your review though and thought about this projector when I saw it a couple days ago but then without the lens memory quickly put it to the side.
@LFG_People do you mean lens memory for multiple sizes?
@@BuildMontageI just mean being able to zoom in and focus to where the top and bottom letter bars are gone on a cinema wide and then zoom out when it's a 16 by 9 show. You would have let her bars on the sides but people expect that when they have a cinema wide. I plan on using smart curtains
@LFG_People u can do that but I think you mean you want to store multiple positions and zoom points. You can set masks as well. I don’t know if u can save multiple positions. I didn’t try to test that as I’m demoing on a 16:9.
To compare to W5700 ; Blacks are same as W5700. Colour ( color ) is better out of the box than my W5700 was. Brightness and HDR is leaps and bounds better than W5700 to my eyes. Also it does look sharper!!! Throw ratio smaller but a much better experience to align to screen.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. Lots of mixed opinions about it - however - as I ACTUALLY had one in to test, I shared it exactly as I saw it. Add masking panels to this for scope movies and you would think you had insane black levels. Thats the only thing that can trick the mind is the grey bars during a scope movie.
@@BuildMontage Do you know of a supplier for masking panels?
Since such projectors require a heavy investment, one should research well to make sure they get a good deal..... am I right?
Thanks for the review but this is not a Native 4K projector.
It uses the .47 DLP chip ( with a 1080p native resolution) with 4 X Pixel shifting.
I am yet to verify this from Benq but if it is, I will post it in the description as I said TrueHD, but overlay in text I said Native.
If you can't game on a $6k USD projector, no amount of other features matter. Input lag is horrible. Also using the cheaper .47 DLP Chip vs. the newer .65 that projectors less than half its cost are using. Jvc and Sony are better value all round even with bulb. I have always had a problem with BenQ's supposed "value"---->at what cost? And yes I have owned multiple. Thumbs up to the review though, good content. Do some side by side in a future video please.
Thanks for the feedback. Generally it’s impossible for me to do side by side as the projectors come and go quickly and at different times. Benq do have access to the .65” DMD but I don’t know why they went this way - maybe that additional cost tipped it outside of their marketing window?
From what i have read on other review this is NOT native 4k. This is just another pxiel shifting VLP. If this is the case the price it's just insane.
Its native resolution is UHD. You can check for yourself on the Benq website. Link in description. For comparison the Epson ls12000b is similarly priced and a pixel shifter.
Why i can't see my answer? Check out the projector central review "The W5800 is a laser projector using a 0.47-inch DLP chip that achieves 4K UHD resolution with four-phase pixel shifting to quadruple the chip's 1920x1080 native resolution."
Are you blocking my answers?
@@iamstrong91 no I’m not blocking anything - I can see all of your answers. Benq said it’s native and I’ve seen other reviews say it’s native. I’ll reach out to them and if it is then I’ll put a comment in the description.
@@iamstrong91 oh u cannot links - TH-cam auto blocks it.
😂😂Epson be aware. The 3d support
Plz do compare it to formovie 4k UST triple laser sir...I hv personally watched that formovie....it's just exceptional ❤❤❤❤...
Hi there - I don't do comparison videos - there are far too many and the amount of work involved is not possible for me to do :) I have done a formovie review - it's on my channel - check the playlist :D
@@BuildMontage ok shd u recommend buying this over this one ....just tell honestly sir?
I will love to see a comparation with this projector with a 110 inches 4k tv from TCL, I think in 2 more years a 110 inches tv will cost half of the cost of this projector and even so with a better picture quality .
Two different use cases. Can you put speakers behind a TV in a dedicated home theater?
@@BuildMontage people always manage to acomplish that 😎
@@mauriciob8260 I wonder how… audio passing through a solid screen
@@BuildMontage I don't think he understands what you mean.
110" is a TINY screen compared to what most projector owners are using.
If you have 2 units , you can change by a small house ou AP here in Brazil. 😂😂😂😂😂
I have zero units - this one already was returned to BENQ :D
Yearh Man, but the Black Level ist Grey
Cinemascope?
No, but you can blank out if you need to top and bottom.
Great review but no HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120) is a killer for me.... come on BenQ its 2024. What a shame.
I only watch in 24p so it’s not a big deal for me.
Yep which the Epson laser does have, but is eshift. So comprises either way. But gaming and future proof at 4k 120hz is solid feature. However 1080p 240hz would be great also.
@@JohnWickFour I love watching movies and PC gaming too. 4K @120 plz
Hmmm the xgimi 4k ultra seems a lot better
I have the XGIMI and as much as I love it, the Benq does have it beat on contrast and colours - although I feel the XGIMI is brighter and also has Dolby Vision - given the choice, I'd probably go the BENQ but it's also double the price.
I would gladly pay 2.500 euros for this. 6.000 is just laughable with a 2.000euro xgimi giving 2000:1 native contrast and a DE
I think the electronic shift/zoom does bump the price up quite a bit. Look at the Sony 5000 - all manual and costs the same however it is native - so I imagine there has to be compromises to keep it down. Also I don't believe that BENQ have developed their own 4K native chip yet. Texas Instruments is the easier path.
@@BuildMontage the price difference is too huge when the image is not good enough. The Sony projector cost less and has better picture in every aspect
0.47 DMD in this price… Why….
Probably the best picture from a 0.47" DMD I've seen - tricked me into think it was native after I was told that it was from a few sources - and the Benq website states it as the resolution but doesn't say it's a 4 way shift. Great picture and tonnes of brightness.
the black level is terrible. and when you have a dedicated cinema room. it bothers me even more. At this price, Eposn TW9400 still reigns supreme
Black levels are not bad at all. Not JVC level but on par with dlp light engines
@@BuildMontage It is sold at the same price as the Sony 5000ES. I don't predict success for this Medel, it's simply too expensive for the 0.47DMD system.
Saved you a click: This is $9,000.
So unless you’re rich, you can probably skip this video.
So the sum total of all the work I put into the review comes down to Benq's price tag?
@@BuildMontage Yup. If a projector is thousands of dollars more than my price range, then there’s not much point in me watching the review (as good as the review may be).
Wow ok 😂
@@BuildMontage I’m not sure that I understand? Are you mad that I’m not rich?
Like, I’m not saying that your reviews are bad! In fact, they’re really good.
@handcoding no no all good. I often watch car videos of cars I can’t afford but don’t tell people to save a click because I can’t personally afford it. That’s all :) no issues my end
110" tv is better.
🤌🏼
TVs have their advantages, but so do projectors. Different needs for different setups
Do you know how much a 110 inch TV is...?
How much is your 150” TV? My screen is 150”.
110" is like a tablet compared to the size of my massive screen. Maybe some day TVs can get large enough to replace projectors, but we are not there yet. For TVs to reach the size I need, they would have to be some kind of foldable screen technology, because you can't carry or ship something that size. Maybe in 20 years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂3d plus 4k. Epson should learn.
