Loved the review!!! This looks like a great choice for me.
That was your best projector review ever 👍
Wow, thanks!
Great video.. Just one question please.. How far back have you got it for the 150 inch Screen.?
The wide color gamut doesn't make the picture "cool".. It's kind of the whole point of this projector. It's how you achieve 100% DCI-P3 coverage. It does cut some of the brightness, but it also improves the black level presentation and contrast. In my opinion, it's a must if you're watching a movie without daylight.
I have the 3550 in a dedicated theater room and I agree. The change can be drastic but after 15 min you’ll appreciate the WCG much more.
It's a matter of choice, but this projector offers everything for the best movie experience.
Dude, theres way better for that price. Its old too. No DOlby Vision.
@@metaldreams3595 Very few if any projectors will handle Dolbyvision. Stick with hdr and the Panasonic player with Optimizer.
Trying to decide between this and the HT5550. I'll be using it to watch 4k UHD movies at night. Which would you pick?
What if I need a 300-inch picture: shall I stick with Ht4550i or find a specific model that will have 300'' in tech specs. Projectorcentral is showing Throw Distance: 1.0 m - 7.6 m (not sure whether it`s correct statement)
How does this compare to the lghu710p i have one and im considering upgrading 😅 for something brighter with slightly better black levels
Joelster! Your videos are great. I had a question for you. Maybe you could make a video on it? I have the vava 4k projector (first gen black version) and I have an apple TV 4k. I just got a Sonos beam 2nd gen and I can’t figure out out to get the right sound level. I use my Apple Remote to raise the volume but I have to go all the way up to get good sound from the beam. I’m going crazy trying to figure it out. Any thoughts?
I used to have the VAVA projector but I am not familiar with apple tv and sonos soundbar, sorry my friend.
Can this play games in 2k 120hz like the benq x3100 ?
Want one, just waiting for the price to drop!
hello,what kind of paint i should buy so when i turn off the light there wont be refection,like this one you painted behind the screen, like cinema compeletly black.
I used dark gray matte paint from home depot, is nothing special just make sure is matte.
will it shoot 180 16:9? what do you think?
Is it worth upgrading from HT3550 ?
Can you make a video in comparison between alr vividstorm motorized screen and Elite screen motorized witch one is better
I can't make up my mind until I see your video.
Thanks 0:19
I have tested both and they look the same, honestly just go for the cheaper one.
Hey. Im in dire need of trying to get my HT4550i to play 3d bluerays from my PS3. I didnt have much luck from Benq customer support. I have the right 3d glasses, a HDMI cable that wouldnt have issues and of course the 3d Blue rays. I cant seem to figure it out. My next step is getting a 3D blueray player but want to avoid that. The 3d always looked sick on my 3d sony tV so I know the PS3 worked. PLEASE HELP.
Hi, thanks for the review,just wondering if you see light boarder/inactivated pixel area all around the projection?
You mean like an over cast light around the picture? No i don't see that.
@@JoelsterG4k thanks for the reply, yes, i asked benq why the one i have got has a light boarder,kind of annoying. They said all dlp projector has a light boarder or some sort, but there doesnt seem to be one in your review. Thanks man.
@yyu086-7 Usually that happens when using keystone, try adjusting the projector manually as much as you can so you don't use keystone adjustment.
Can you use a 2.35:1 screen with this projector? I don’t have the height for 16x9 screen
No I don't see that option available.
I'm curious, they say 150in max, what happens if you go larger? Would it be out of focus?
The image quality degrades.
Hi Joelster, any advice on this projector’s setting to mitigate the rainbow effect?
I didn't see any rainbow effect at all.
@@JoelsterG4k I went to see one at a showroom and unfortunately saw it, I may have to opt for 3LCD. Thank you for your reply and this was another good review :)
I've been considering this model. I've got over 350 digital movies on Apple TV, half of them are Dolby Vision, so I'm wondering what kind of HDR will come out when using this projector.
It will be HDR10, I love this projector, it has amazing picture.
Did you buy it yet? Hope not
why??@@metaldreams3595
Excellent videos, i gave watching yr videos 👏👏. Sir, i am seriously searching for a 4k laser projector for movie purpose. Can i purchase this model Benq W4000i or LG AU810P 4k laser. Pl advise me for a decision
Would this Benq be alright projected on a grey screen?
Yes it will work fine.
Does this produce better picture than the nexigo Aurora pro?
I haven't tested the Aurora pro but this BenQ projector has an amazing picture with great contrast and black levels.
Hey Joelster..I recieved my replacement ht4550i and this one is perfect..Also If You write a review on audio video review and upload your serial # Benq offers a $200.00 rebate once confirmed by Benq staff..good video..I did not like filmmaker mode either..bright cinema for me was best in my mancave..regards..bill
Nice, yes I love the picture from this projector, one of the best I've seen, enjoy it 😀
What was wrong with your original unit?
@@SnakeDoctor5104 The dongle /hdmi connection kept disconnecting and the projector all by itself defaulted the normal picture modes to back and forth..The new one is perfect acting ..
Thanks Joelster
Thank you Craig, have a good day brother.!!
What type of projector screen are you using?
In this video I used an ALR and a Maxwhite by elite screens.
Seems to be a great device! Some questions:
1. Does the motion enhancer also work in 3D?
2. What happens, if you have a Dolby Vision movie? If it does support HDR 10+, why not Dolby Vision (I guess, projectors don´t support Dolby Vision in general, but why? ) ? So what happens with a Dolby Vision movie?
3. Does it have convergence problems and are there setting to correct them?
Motion enhancer doesn't work with 3D, DV movies also support HDR so movies are in HDR. Dolby Vision cost extra for the rights to use it, that could be a reason why.
@@JoelsterG4k So no frame interpolation possible in 3D?
Nein und das braucht man auch nicht. Das 3D Bild ist das beste was es gibt. Das schafft kein anderer Beamer. 24p anschalten.
I'm going mad and can't decide what do you think for a movie only projector. Great review.
Epson TW9400.
Optoma UHZ50
JVC LX-NZ30
BenQ HT4550i
Thanks so much
JVC or Epson 5050 hands down.
I haven't tested those projectors but this BenQ looks amazing and you won't be disappointed.
The Hookup just compared the Epson 5050/9400 and the BenQ HT4550i. BenQ HT4550i mostly out performs it.
@@spiderbite7849 He does amazing videos.
@@spiderbite7849 the guy is a amateur TH-camr.. we at AVS have been around before TH-cam and we have real owners of all electronic equipment. Also.. just read real reviews from REAL professionals at Projector Central and Projector Reviews that also have around before the internet was created. These TH-camrs are all Fly by night amateurs that have no real experience in calibrating monitors. I have been calibrating monitors since 1981. We also created what you youngsters call 'memes' and emojis decades ago in our forums.
Thanks for the review; which is better between the Benq HT4550i and the Jmgo N1 Ultra?
Both are good choices, hard to decide 😅
@@JoelsterG4kwhat if you must decide?😅 im going to ceil mount mine
On a white screen it's probably tough, but a long throw ALR will show laser speckle on the N1. So in that case I bet the HT4550i would be best.
Nice
Hi, how was the quality of the 3D? Like really really good, or just average?
Its good, it doesn't get dark like other projectors and the 3D effect is clean.
@@JoelsterG4k interesting, how do you rate it over the new awol?
@EbFilesX The Awol is fantastic, I love that projector, both are great, I had no issues with either one.
@@JoelsterG4k thanks. So I suppose my last question is,, do you think the awol is worth the extra cash?
I guess it's somewhat relative. So the answer can vary.
@EbFilesX Is worth if you need an UST projector like me that I don't have the space for standard throw projectors, if that is not your case then this BenQ is ideal for you.
BenQ HT4550i Vs BenQ X3000i? which is better? for movies and gaming.
I would go for the X3000i, it has lower input lag for gaming and movies also look fantastic.
@@JoelsterG4k
Thanks for the suggestion and all your time & efforts to help us make the right decision.
However i had doubts regarding the Benq X3000i vs Viewsonic X1-4K. This one would be a tough decision. Looking at the X1-4K really blows my mind.

How many inch your screen in this video joe😊
I used an 80" and a 150" screens.
@@JoelsterG4k Look full wall in your room ( perfect and beautiful picture ) ❤
@tonslair58 Yes we used to have a 110" screen and it was fine but then we tried the 150" and it covered almost the entire wall, it looks amazing
Does it do 3D?
Yes, I covered that in the video.
Sir can this projector support a 200inch screen
Im sure it can, just needs more distance from the screen, the picture quality degrades the further you get.
How to get the quality at its best
$3000 for long throw led projector in 2023 is too much ask. $2200 would be ideal. Also the segment is crowded with some amazing long throw as well as UST pj. When you get better lazer pj or a classic 5050ub in this segment why to go for led.
5050UB is always good but the HT4550I has much better sharpness. Native contrast is average but the local contract enhancer looks to be good on the BenQ. It would be cool to see this back to back with the 5050UB or the AWOL 2500 which are the class leaders in their segments.
Each has their advantages. When it comes to the Epson 5050ub, it has great blacks, but the Benq 4550i is more color accurate, you don't have to replace a bulb, higher sharpness, and slightly lower lag time. It also has the local contrast enhancer that can enhance contrast in different ways. Sounds like both are great in their respected ways. I understand what you're saying though. A lot more options and competition in the price and below.
The Best Projector For Your Home Theater???? Really? Does supports 3d Movies?
Yes I mentioned that in the video.
