![]() It supports HDR10 and HLG formats for HDR, though we'd say it actually performs better with SDR – in HDR mode, it doesn't perform quite as well in brighter rooms. It's a bit noisy in operation, and only has a 5W sound system on board, and while the latter can certainly make itself heard, we'd recommend adding some extra speakers. It's a short-throw projector capable of creating 100 inches of screen from just 2m away, making it very easy to accommodate. This 4K projector is smartly geared up for gaming, with an impressively low input lag rate (16ms at 4K 60fps) and three different image presets for different game genres, making it easy to optimise it however you like.īut movies and TV aren't an afterthought here – you actually get Google TV on-board (sort of – it comes with a streaming stick you connect, but that stays hidden) – and there are image modes for movies and sports, with the latter adding pleasing extra saturation to grass and kits. While the BenQ TK850 wouldn’t be our first choice for a home cinema room, it comes into its own with sports, thanks to a high average picture brightness and effective motion smoothing. This single-chip DLP may not support Wide Colour Gamut sources, but it's still vibrant. We didn’t spot any obvious colour fringing (a common trait of the tech), though. The TK850 uses a 0.47-inch DLP chipset, and the colour wheel is a four segment (RGBW) design. Black level performance is limited, tending toward dark grey. While great for sports and TV, this is less of a cinematic star. A good external sound system should still be able to cover this totally, though. Watch in HD SDR and fan noise drops to 28dB. When it receives an HDR source, be it from Blu-ray or media player, it goes into full brightness HDR mode, with an increase in noise to match, hitting upwards of 30dB. The projector is HDR compatible, but there is a caveat. There’s also an optical audio digital output and 3.5 analogue stereo jack, if the onboard 10W sound system doesn’t hit the mark. ![]() Rear connectivity includes two HDMI v2.0 inputs, USB reader and a USB power port, should you want to insert a streaming TV stick. The design is smart, with rounded sides and stylish grey blue face plate. Interpolation comes via MEMC (motion estimation motion compensation) technology, which is able to retain detail in fast action. Motion smoothing is highly effective, so onscreen action looks wonderfully naturalistic. When it comes to big screen convenience, this has it in spades – as our full Optoma CinemaX P2 review explains.īenQ’s affordable 4K offering is a brilliant buy if you want big screen sports, but don’t particularly want to dim all the lights when the big match is about to start. We get three HDMI inputs and a really impressive built-in 40W sound system. ![]() The chassis is exactly the same as its predecessor. Operating noise is relatively low and easily disguised by the sound system. You can get a picture upwards of 120-inches with the projector placed around a metre from the wall. While HDR is recognised from Blu-ray and streaming media players, the Optoma’s HLG support is strangely limited to file playback via USB, so broadcast HDR from set-top boxes may not recognise it as an HDR-capable device. It’s HDR compatible, but there is a caveat. The CinemaX P2 is built around a single chip 4K DLP device and laser light engine. On the plus side, the price is now much more affordable, and the model still delivers a fantastic viewing experience overall. This second-gen ultra-short throw projector embraces the same easy to live with design as its predecessor, the Cinema X, aka the UHZ65UST, but trims back the spec to hit a cheaper price point.Ĭontrast is now 2,000,000:1 (down from 2,500,000:1), brightness dimmed from 3.500 lumens to 3,000, and the colour gamut reduced. ![]()
