What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ TK800 True 4K UHD HDR Home Entertainment Projector

Great projector with fantastic picture quality, colours and brightness.
The image is crystal clear with what I would consider good colour, and nice contrast levels.
Even on an off-white wall this brightness, contrast & colour were really amazing.
I have tested during the day with some good light and even my wife (she is never impressed ) said WOW!
No longer does DLP give an annoying rainbow effect. I'm super impressed and would recommend this to anyone who needs a long throw.

BenQ W1700 4K UHD HDR CineHome Projector

Colours were natural and had plenty of contrast compared to my old projector.
The picture was crisp, clear and without any blurring or shadowing.
Its 2,200 lumen lamp gives a very bright image and with what Benq claims to be close to true-colour performance.
This projector presents very beautiful images with vibrant colours, both in 1080p and 4k modes.
Brilliant 4k picture on this projector, clear, bright and colourful.

What customers say about "Display"

BenQ TK800 True 4K UHD HDR Home Entertainment Projector

I currently have it projecting 75 or so inches onto a grey wall (haven't bought a screen just yet) and the quality is pretty damn great.
HDR 10 bit and 4K 60hz is working great. In comparison to my Samsung KS7500, the colours are nearly as vivid.
This is a great value projector in my opinion, which produces a great picture and is an absolute steal at this price.
The image quality is superb on this and so much sharper than my previous 1080p unit.
It does have keystone correction which is automatic and works well.

BenQ W1700 4K UHD HDR CineHome Projector

I was blown away by the quality, it is no way near the quality output of UHD TVs but you really shouldn't expect this unless you spend serious amount of money.
The image quality is fantastic, really is good for the money.
The pictures are vibrant, colourful and simply breath-taking. You really can see every detail on the screen, whether that be the lines on someone’s face or the hairs on an animal.
The picture was crisp and noticeably better than 1080P sources. There were plenty of options to alter the image.
I was astonished at the picture it makes, at how clear and good quality is it.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ TK800 True 4K UHD HDR Home Entertainment Projector

The 3D is absolutely stunning in games. I downloaded the Trine 2 demo on my PS4 Pro and was blown away at the amount of depth achievable on a stereoscopic game.
The input lag for games is fine, especially if you are used to playing on a TV.
Regarding the fan noise, it is fine. When I am actually watching something I cease to notice it at all.
Fan noise is pretty good with it only being slightly noticeable when watching anything, there is a quiet mode which literally does what it says.
Another feature of this which is rare on 4K projectors is 3D although this is only in 1080p it's still a great thing to have.

BenQ W1700 4K UHD HDR CineHome Projector

The fan is very quiet and is hardly noticeable thanks to the built-in 5W speaker, which I found to be surprisingly good.
It has great 3D capabilities as well for those where this is a requirement.
The 3D function also makes it more special.
The sound from the one 5W speaker is acceptable. Picture adjustments easy to use and clear menu system.
The real issue was the system noise - there was a loud high pitched whine which sounded like I had tinnitus - absolutely ruined the overall experience.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

BenQ TK800 True 4K UHD HDR Home Entertainment Projector

Dual HDMI inputs are useful, although I only use one most of the time, so it's great you can tell the device not to scan all it's inputs.
I love that it works as a smart Tv and can be connected to all of my subscriptions like netlix and now TV.
I love that you can use your phone as a remote, making it even easier to use.
Inputs can be set manually as either of two HDMI sockets (HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4) or RS-232, or automatically sensing the input.
It also supports HDMI so you can use anything with this type of connection. I've been using it a lot with my Chromecast and my Nintendo Switch and the picture quality is superb.

BenQ W1700 4K UHD HDR CineHome Projector

Stunning visuals, I had play UHD movies and TV shows, played 4K game using Xbox One X.
There are two HDMI connections, one is dedicated for 4K input. A USB, which we use to power a cheap soundbar. Another mini USB input, an old school VGA input for a laptop.
We don’t have a dedicated blu-ray DVD player, but we dug out our son’s old PS3 and watched some blu-rays from that. Again, amazing quality.
You get a 12V trigger to connect to an electric screen; mine’s manual though.
I connected my Fire TV box directly to HDMI1 of the projector and it played 4K HDR content from Netflix with no problem.
