A solid home theater device is not a budget pleasure, but worth the money.The beauty of the device is in its ultra-short focus - in the latest models this is the "trick" of the brand. Just 40 cm away from the screen, the projector reproduces a full-fledged clear picture, and the classic 90-inch image for the home is projected from just 56 cm. This is achieved using a 3LCD matrix - devices that support DLP technology cannot do this. Of the entire series, this model is the brightest. And thanks to 4K PRO-UHD technology, it also has impressive color reproduction and bit depth. It is not surprising that in terms of image quality, the Japanese device competes with more expensive European counterparts, and among the Chinese it has no equal at all.

At a reasonable price, the projector provides a clear picture with a diagonal of up to 3.5 meters. And given the pleasant bonuses in the form of an illuminated remote control and a 5 W speaker, it even claims to be the best in its class. You can only find fault with the black balance - in dark scenes there is a little lack of contrast.

It is impossible not to mention the weight of the model: 180 grams is a worthy indicator even in the segment of ultra-compact solutions.

In addition, the development of BenQ is equipped in many ways no worse than analogues with a much more exorbitant price. The subject of particular pride of the projector were two loudspeakers of 10 watts each. As a rule, sound is not one of the strong points of such devices, but BenQ can be safely used without connecting any additional speakers.
