At about 4 years, my BenQ 3550 has a dead pixel, a constant white dot in the middle of the screen. When I got it, I had to return it twice due to lemons and the one I stuck with has a grinding sound that I'm convinced is not normal fan noise. My point is, this is an upgrade decision it sounds like many folks are in, and I'm fairly certain I'm going with the 3560, for my light controlled room, due mainly cost. I simply only expect either one of these to last 3-5 years. Even though the 4550i 's LED light source is rated to last 5 times longer, I'm convinced that for either projector, one of a dozen things will start to fail. 3560 is almost half the price, and in 4 years, I'll be trading up anyway. This is still a step up from 3550, which I was happy with PQ-wise, if not the noise and quality control issues. The brighter LED light source is very tempting, but not worth twice the dough.
I've always preferred to use smarteco (Dynamic Black) rather than Eco because it dims the lamp based on content and increases lamp life.
This a great review Thank you!! I subscribed! As a noobie to projectors I really think that the 3060 fits the bill in my light controlled basement set up. The projector will be above me in a low 7 foot ceiling. My worry is the noise but I would hate to shell out for a 5050ub or a 4500i for more quiet. Is the eco mode really that dimm like you said and is normasl mode that loud. Do you really think I should stretch for one of those high end midrange that I mentioned. Like I said I feel that the 3060 checks many boxes for me but.... noise
Excellent review:)
Thank you! Hope you like and sub to the channel
how can you go 2
2.35:1 screen size
Which one has better black levels? I might want to upgrade to the 4550 if the blacks are better than my 3550.
Can you confirm if the 4550i can do frame interpolation while playing 3D , motion inhancer , my w5700 has it greyed out while using 3d ? Thanks
I wish there was side-by side comparison.
Thank you so much. This is exactly the review/comparison I've been looking for.
I'm looking to replace a 3550 that died, and I'm having a hard time mentally (and spousally) justifying almost double the price from the 3560 to the 4550i. In a fully light-controlled environment (dedicated room with dark walls, ceiling, carpet, no windows), is the jump in picture quality from the 3560 to the 4550i enough to match the jump in price?
Aside from the light source and peak brightness, it seems their features are mostly on par with each other (HDR10+, eARC, low input lag, tons of picture modes, color accuracy, local contrast enhancement). The only times I felt the 3550 seemed too dim were for some 3D movies and some content with WCG engaged. I'm hoping the improved iris and slightly increased brightness will be enough without having to jump another $1300 for the LED light source.
Exact same situation. My 3550 just died after 3 1/2 years
I was going to buy the 4550 but the 3560 is on sale for $1199. Not sure if its worth the price increase for the 4550. Any thoughts?
I really like the videos you are doing. I hope this is the right place to clear my query.
My amplifier is denon 4700h. Im using 3 sub. 2 klipsch 120sw in the rear and 1 kef kub 12 in the front. Im not getting enough bass from the front sub. In the amp its given lfe+main and 120hz. In the back of the sub it is turned full down to lfe, phase is at 0. Still i cant feel the bass. What should i do to get a good bass from the front. I tried changing the position but still its the same
Hmmm… have you run audessey room correction and have adjusted the bass in Denon menu? Feel free to contact me on my facebook page “The Daingeon” and I can try and help you out. Hope you like and subscribe to the channel too!
Great video again! I think your "VS" would benefit from it direct comparision statements. As someone who has the HT3550, I would love to know specifically how much (%-wise) brighter the HT4550i is and how darker are the blacks.
I will probably need to invest in some tools to do that % you’re looking for more accurately from my end. I appreciate your feedback and will definitely do more side by sides and direct video footage showing the differences like black levels and brightness side by side 👍. Please like and subscribe if you can
@@thedaingeon Oh yeah, that would definitely be above and beyond. I think w e the viewer would just appreciate hearing your subjective comparisons. e.i how ever much brighter, darker, sharper your think it is. Thank you again!
100%@@jamiljoyner7785
You cited 21ms for 1080/120p -- is that your measurement? Benq says 21ms flr 4k and 8ms for 1080/120p
Main thing I would have liked to know if the black levels are better on the led model as on the lamp model they are pretty bad
I would say they are better yes but sometimes you get more of a blue tint, assuming this is caused by the use of an LED light source. Hope you like and sub
Benq ht 4550i or epson tw9400 ???
I’m new to projectors and don’t know much about it. Let’s say I don’t have a place to set it on the center of the screen, can it stay on the far left or right side of the screen? Is there any adjustment to fix the image to line up with the screen? Thanks.
Keystoning will do the trick, and lens shift is even better if the projector you choose has that feature.
Hi, how would you compare ht3560 fan noise lvl to the epson hc3800(tw7100) ? I bought ht3560 and love the picture quality but I really can’t get the noise anymore…and thinking maybe epson is more quiet? And maybe the blacks would be better?
Thanks!😊
Unfortunately I don’t have access to the hc3800 to confirm sorry. The 3560 is nice and quiet for a lamp based light source especially in eco mode. Hope you like and subscribe!
@@thedaingeon and the noise between these two (HT4550i VS HT3560) ?
Thank you for taking the time to make a video, but was this really a comparison? Seemed like two separate reviews with little discussion on relative merits, other than remotes and internal sound, which are the last two concerns for most people. And to say that either have excellent black levels really shows the limitations of purely subjective reviews.
Yeah I see what you mean. Honestly its really tough to tell the difference on camera but the main things that set these units apart are the LED vs Lamp light sources, price, the QS02 media stick, HT4550i H and V lens shift and physical size. I tried to showcase both equally but could probably do a better job with more side by sides etc. Thanks for the honest feedback and other suggestions. Hope you like and sub
Can I use it as a long throw projector for 300'-inch screen?
I replied to your other comment so I’ll paste it here too.
Using projectorcentral.com to choose this projector it says you can get a 300” image if you place the HT4550i -25’ to 30’ away. Hope you like and sub to the channel!
Thanks for this review. Interesting to see the power up/down times, I've been looking for info about that everywhere but it's never mentioned. As an owner of a lamp based PJ (Benq TK850) I'm intrigued by the "instant" power-on of Laser/LED projectors. One thing not mentioned in the video unless I missed it, since the HT4550 is a 4LED projector, I'm guessing it does not have a spinning color wheel? If that's the case, one less moving part, and less noise I guess. Also less chance of RBE?
Glad I could help. It is still DLP and has a color wheel. Some people can still see the rainbow effect but I don't and obviously sensitivity is different person to person. Overall it is a beautiful image using the 4LED tech. Hope you like and sub to the channel.
@@thedaingeon I've been doing some research and it actually does not have a color wheel. It's not needed since it has a LED light source with the 4 individual colors already separated.
Asking again because we never got a response. Is HT4550i's quality really that much better than the HT3560 to warrant the much higher price?
If you have the money get the HT4550i. I like it better than the HT3560 because of the extra lens features, superb brightness and long lamp life. Sorry for missing your last comment. Hope you like and sub
@@thedaingeon great, thanks! Yes, love the channel.
Torn between the two. Trying to make the upgrade from my HT2050a for movie watching. The HT3560 is within my price range but I’m worried it won’t be that much of a noticeable upgrade. However, the lumens, led light source, contrast, and vertical and horizontal lens shift on the HT4550 make me wonder if I should sell my kidney… I kid, I kid… Do you think the difference between the two is significant enough that it’s worth saving for?
Went from a 2050A to a 3550 and the difference is huge.
Did you see any rainbow effects from 4550i
Impossible..This unit does not have a spinning color wheel nor a lamp..This is a great projector for the money.I have mine for a month now and my friends are blown away watching 4k...
@@billhennigan3773 thanks
So would you say the TH4550i compared to the HT3560 is worth saving for?@@billhennigan3773
Some people are still seeing RBE, with this unit, but significantly less, than a unit with a color wheel. You can find comments about this, using Google.
4550i or Epson LS12000?
LS12000, but only because of the HDMI 2.1 capabilities. Otherwise the BenQ is a close second.
@@thedaingeon i have a OLED for gaming so don't need 2.1 on my projector. I'm more focused in accuracy in colors and black levels. Thanks

I left a comment on the review you did of the 4550, can you read that one plz?
Sorry I have been traveling. I left you a reply. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Please like and subscribe
Are you able to measure the brightness of both projectors?
I have an HT3550 and even though it is advertised as 2000 ANSI lumens the highest I've measured is 790 ANSI lumens. No matter what settings I use I can't get higher brightness without ruining the color accuracy. I'm wondering if my projector is defective or if that's par for the course.
If the 4550 is significantly brighter I might consider upgrading.
It is definitely brighter, much brighter than the 3550. How old is your bulb? The 3550 is great in a dark media room only in my opinion. Do you use your projector in an area with a lot of light? Please like and subscribe to the channel
@@thedaingeon The 3550 is an LED projector, not a bulb projector so "bulb" life shouldn't matter but mine had fewer than 100 hours on it. I ended up returning it due to the very low light output and ended up with an epson LS12000 which is significantly better.
