Our choose for greatest residence theater projector for the cash is the BenQ HT2050A and it is an incredible selection general, nevertheless it’s now a number of years outdated. At CES 2023 BenQ introduced its successor, the HT2060, together with two different new projectors. They’re all lit by a brand new four-LED design as an alternative of the standard UHP lamps.

BenQ hasn’t introduced pricing but for the HT2060, however I anticipate it to be the extra reasonably priced of the three. It guarantees extra gentle output and higher coloration than the HT2050A, because of that 4 LED gentle supply. The opposite two, the HT4550i and the GP500, are each 4K projectors. The 4550i has a claimed 3,200 lumens, which ought to make it exceptionally shiny. The GP500 has a extra modest 1,500, however has an elaborate built-in speaker system.

This is what we all know up to now. 

Lengthy dwell the HT2050A (and right here comes the HT2060)

The HT2050A has been considered one of our favourite projectors actually for years. Whilst new projectors have entered (and left!) the market, the HT2050A remained. By the top of its epic run it did not supply the brightness, coloration, nor decision of lots of its equally priced rivals, nevertheless it supplied a wonderful all-around picture for an incredible value. It should proceed to be in BenQ’s lineup for at the least a number of extra months.

Changing it’s the HT2060. From the skin, it shares lots in widespread with its august predecessor. The design has been freshened up, with extra fashionable strains. Fortunately, there’s nonetheless vertical lens shift. This characteristic was virtually distinctive amongst sub-$1,000 DLP projectors, and it is nice to see it proceed. It makes becoming the projector in a room simpler. Additionally persevering with is a 1.3x zoom. BenQ says you can create a 100-inch picture from 8.2 ft, which appears just like its predecessor, too.

It is what’s inside that issues most, in fact. As an alternative of the UHP lamp that lit the HT2050, the 2060 makes use of 4 LEDs. These ought to final the lifetime of the projector. It is nonetheless 1080p, which is fascinating since so many PJs are transferring to 4K. My guess it will hold the worth at or beneath $1,000. Claimed brightness is about the identical, at 2,300 lumens versus the HT2050’s 2,200. Since they’re additionally claiming a wider coloration gamut, we’ll should see what this implies in individual. 

On paper this looks as if a strong improve to considered one of our favourite projectors. If the worth is true, and the efficiency is certainly a bit higher, this might be a winner. We will see.

The step-up HT4550i and GP500 get 4K

These two 4K projectors are doubtlessly fairly fascinating, too. The HT4550i appears to be like just like the HT2060’s evil, extra highly effective cousin. Similar fundamental form/design, however shades of trendy black and darkish silver. It appears to be like severe, and its specs say it’s. It sports activities a claimed 3,200 lumens and 4K decision. Like the opposite projectors BenQ introduced on the present, it is powered by 4 LEDs. They’re claiming it will possibly attain 100% of DCI-P3, which ought to imply it has some nice coloration. It has each horizontal and vertical lens shift and Android TV in-built. 

The older HT3550i is $1,800. If the HT4550i is close to that in value, this might be an fascinating step up from the HT2060. 

The GP500 is a bit totally different from the opposite two PJs BenQ introduced. It is fairly the chonky boi because of what quantities to a built-in sound bar beneath the projector. Utilizing 4 drivers, BenQ claims it is capable of put out a “360-degree soundfield.” The thought of the GP500 is to have the power so as to add a projector in any room, at quite a lot of angles, and nonetheless have first rate sound. It has Android TV, 4K decision and a claimed 1,500 lumens. 

I have been pretty lukewarm on, let’s say, different projector designs like this. I’ve discovered them overpriced and underwhelming. In contrast to the opposite two projectors they introduced, the GP500 has a value: $1,800. That is some huge cash for a 1,500 lumen projector, although I suppose it might slot in some rooms a HT2060 or HT4550i plus a soundbar/speaker system could not. 

BenQ hasn’t introduced availability on these but, however we would anticipate them to be out quickly.
