Ridiculous....You bought and review a $2,999 Benq top of the cinema line projector with 100% rec 709 and 100% of the dci3 gamut and you film the review on a potato
... Set your camera to manual not auto and adjust the iso then you might have a chance at a promotion video this is a terrible representation of this projectors abilities.

Can I use it as a long throw projector for 300'-inch screen?

[@januszwrobel1166]

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.

any rainbow effect？

[@biogons14]

It doesn´t have a large throw ratio lens; I can´t use it.

[@ymmy9798]

hi, great video! Is there a rainbow effect on the projected video?

[@adrianbarac3063]

No, because it doesn't use a color wheel.

[@billhennigan3773]

Sir, You mentioned.."BULB" a couple of times..It does not have a bulb..4 leds...pretty accurate review other than that disinformation..

One feature is missing Dolby vision

[@RagnarCrumpets]

I just bought the Xgimi Ultra and honestly I preferred having Dobby vision off. It's currently not visually worth it in my opinion on projectors. Trust me you're not missing anything. HDR10 and HDR10+ look amazing on this projector!

[@billhennigan3773]

5.08..light span of it's .."bulb"...5.12...listen to yourself...not a big deal but no bulb..

[@billhennigan3773]

These people must be doing somthin'.....There are NO RAINBOWS..It dosent have a spinning wheel!!! Impossible....I have this and for 3 grand it is fanrastic on a 150" matte white.....Benq FLAGSHIP.....

[@grj3241]

The absence of a colour wheel does not solve the problem with rainbow effect; the problem lies in the inability to display all colours simultaneously, which is still the case in this projector.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

I got it too. Black contrast sucks

[@bryanp4827]

You're full of shit...​@@BobbyDazzler888

[@lo_fye]

All I can see in this video is lots of rainbows.

[@RagnarCrumpets]

That's the camera, not the projector
