BenQ W5700 (HT5550) 4K DLP Projector Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2020
- BenQ releases a home cinema focussed single-chip 4K DLP projector which promises accurate colours out of the box thanks to factory calibration. So can it really do everything it claims? Let's find out...
Check out the owner's thread in the projector forum at AVForums - www.avforums.com/forums/proje...
The review sample was provided by BenQ UK and is a finished retail production sample which was delivered in retail packaging.
We will always be transparent about who supplies a display for review and the supplier (whether it is the manufacturer, distributor or retailer) never has any influence or input into our reviews. We will never accept payment to review a product as we insist on complete independence in our reviewing.
If a review is made possible by a retailer loaning it to us, we will state this within the review. We do this so that if a viewer is so inclined, they can use that retailer in return for helping to make our reviews possible.
We will NEVER mention a retailer in a video where they have not supplied the product for review, or otherwise, intentionally mislead the viewer in any way.

Great review!!!
I’m picking one up.
Got one last week. Amazing bit of kit. Bladerunner was a treat :-)
Good to hear Chris, what about black levels and iris operating noise? Any complaints?
My Epsom 5350 still makes me smile even against my LG 4k HDR 55 inch. I still prefer the Epsom .Cost me just under £600 ,yes you can get better but I haven't seen anything apart from projectors costing thousands more I mean £8,000 .
Colours on the screen really pop and so subtle and as atmosphere . Anyway they are all good in there on way. Thanks for the video.
Nice man 👍
Picked up one on black Friday to replace my Sony 1080p sxrd and the difference is 100% more better towards the BENQ HT5550. I love this projector!
That's great to hear edwin, how do you find the black levels and operating noise of the iris? I'm keen to find out
@@bryanp4827 it's noisey and black isn't as good as Sony hw45es
Which projectors would you recommend that are hdr capable?
what if compare to Optoma UHD65?
Can someone tell me how would this machine compare to my Barco Cine 9 CRT projector?
I'm using Boeing simulation grade P19LUG tubes that are getting up around 6,000 hours, slight visible wear on blue and green, nothing visible on red. Razor sharp 1080p across the entire screen.
I am interested in this model and also a couple of the Optoma 4K models.
Any plans to review the jvc nx5 or nx7?
NX9 has been reviewed - www.avforums.com/reviews/jvc-dla-nx9-4k-native-projector-review.16823 Video coming soon. The N5 is currently being reviewed. And the N7 has also been reviewed, but no video coming for this one www.avforums.com/reviews/jvc-dla-n7-rs2000-4k-dila-projector-review.15860
Huh?!.... didn't this thing come out 10 months ago!?
Input lag?
It's in the review.
between epson tw9400 and benq w5700 which one would you recommend
I have an epson tw9400 it has motorized lens shift zoom and focus,no more reaching up to pj to adjust and is far brighter than this model which is what you need for hdr.
Defo benq
Was wondering this too. Heard a lot of good stuff about the Epson but it’s to big for my setup. But I don’t have have a “dark” bat cave. So I am worried that the Benq is going to be to dark.
@@lifeevent88 some people just don't get how good dlp's are do they...?
@@smuglertns4390 your recommending a projector because you don't have to get up and adjust the lense?!? Hahahah, no one gives a shit about that mate, they care about image quality and black levels
on mine the blacks are black black your well out on callibrating mate you need to do it again and get it right...
Correct my friend, but these dickheads are lcd fanboys, so they'll always bash dlp projectors
How did you do? I don’t care about highlights. I want good black levels and shadow details. Does putting eco mode help? I use D. Iris in middle position. I love this projector (HU710 is crap) and want to keep it.
While I don't doubt your reviews of anything at all Phil, yours is the only one where you mention the 5700 to be a pixel-shifter! All other reviews that I have found (and even the BenQ website) say that it is native 4K, which I find very hard to believe at this price point. Shame about the gamma problems too.
I can't speak for other reviews, or even what reviews you have been looking at. However, my assessment is correct and the BenQ uses a shift and flash technique which trick the eyes and brain into seeing 8.3m pixels, even though those are never on the screen at the same time. The CTA call this true 4K, but it technically isn't. If you take a look at the Texas Instruments website for their 4K chips, they explain the technology used. All 4K DLPs at this market level use the same TI chipsets. As you rightly point out, there is no way you are going to get a 4K native projector at this price point and only Sony and JVC currently offer true native 4K projectors in the consumer market at many times the price of this BenQ (JVC used their own version of the pixel shift, called e-shift for many years before switching to true native 4K chips recently). With that said, the technology used in the BenQ is very clever and it is difficult to tell the difference from normal viewing distances. Thanks for your feedback.
every review Ive read says it isn't native 4k
So not good for HDR :( wich one is also useable for HDR ?
Epson TW-9400
It's equivalent to 4 K . You neglected to mention this.
Of course, that's because he hates dlp's, he's an lcd fanboy...
@@bryanp4827 because LCD is better
Still waiting on a 8k projector
Styleguide for Men and the 8k content to play also???
What would you actually watch on it? Only a minority of shows are even mastered in 4K. Of them, less still show much improvement over 1080/2K. That isn't going to change much.
Juelz 45 I’ll find the right content for it
8k gaming.
And also, 8k is better than 4k, people just try and make out like their 4k equipment is the best.
People used to say the exact same thing about 4k not being worth it and 1080p is fine. People just can't handle it
This review is such an outlier not sure what to think of this review or the product
That's because he loves to bash dlp's, but can't really because he's an lcd fanboy...
wtf is that starting noise... that is terrible
looks insanely blurry! and with big time image ghosting and that's just by watching it through youtube
no thanks
Should have gone to Specsavers! I 😂🤣😂🤣
Home cinema ENGINEER...? YEAH RIGHT! LMFAO 😂🤣😂🤣
You definitely need cataract surgery! Contact your eye specialist 🤣
All you do is bash dlp projectors! I don't know why you even bother reviewing them! You constantly bang on about black levels, when in fact it is NOT the most important thing when it comes to viewing...SHARPNESS AND IMAGE IS...
Here here
Incorrect, blacks need to be black, not grey.
I think you need to get a good projector like a Sony or JVC and actually see quality before you talk like this
Very sure it’s personal preference isn’t it?
@@DarrenBoxhall what's night time like in the real world bro...?? Do you ever step out of mommy's basement to take a look...? My guess is not...
@@bryanp4827 out there all the time mate.
Enjoy your grey "blacks"
