If you have started looking into creating a home theater, you know that picking a projector can be a daunting task. It is not at all as simple as pick a TV and throw it on a wall. You have to know your wall/screen size, the intended placement of the projector (both height and distance from said screen), and the brightness of the projector based on the needs of your room. What I found in my research is that BenQ makes some of the best DLP projectors - made to fit most rooms and distances while producing some of the best images on the market. And for the price - it only enhances that statement further. I bought the 2050a back in May 2018, after much back and forth over it and the 3050. I simply could not pass up the increased user adjustments, low input lag, and many dollars saved for a 4% reduction in an already impressive color accuracy that I will likely never ever be able to tell the difference. And I'm so glad I did, as this projector has been awesome. It was easy to mount and set up. I have it mounted on a Pearless PRG-UNV and paired with a 100" Elite Screen CineGrey 5D from about 8.75' and in a moderately light controlled room, the images are nothing short of spectacular. The 2050a has near perfect color calibration for the average consumer right out of the box (confirmed by using a well reviewed calibration disc), has no DLP rainbows, can project a massive, crisp 1080p image from a relatively short throw, has a 10% vertical lens shift, has both vertical and horizontal keystone adjustments, is whisper quiet, and has a dedicated 3D mode that is a astonishing to see in person (ie. we have fallen in love with it). If fact, I've yet to find one thing that I really don't like about the projector. Family movie night night has taken on a whole new meaning now. If your going to do a home theater and you have only a small space to work in, you really owe it to yourself to check out the BenQ line of projectors. If you are not ready for 4K, I'm not convinced you can find a better 1080p projector for the price than the 2050a. That said, If you are 4K ready and have to sources ready to feed a 4K projector, be on the lookout as the 2050a has a 4K short throw brother coming out very soon.

I was looking forward to a larger picture than most HDTVs for a new family room in the basement but had no idea how fantastic this light-weight, quiet-running, crystal clear powerhouse would be. I bought an In-Focus 15 years ago for my training travels for $2500. It served me well but needed a dark room and was loud when running. We used it occasionally for movie nights at home but it had a traditional format and needed better speakers hooked up to it. This unit at only $799 gives us a huge picture and vibrant colors even with a few room lights on. The sound is so good that I've been debating whether to even go out and get any fancy sound system. The great thing too is that because of having two HDMI inputs we can have our cable television hooked up to one HDMI port and Apple TV hooked up to the other HDMI port for all the download streaming we need. The manual suggests putting it in smart eco-mode to save the life of the bulb at up to 70%. When we made this change we did not notice any real difference in the picture and expect now to get up to 6000 hours from the bulb. Online we see that the bulbs right now can be purchased for around $250 but those will most likely come down. My bulbs for my old in-focus used to cost me $400. We had some in our group debating about getting a really large HDTV like 70 or 80 inches but with those costing over $2000 now everyone was silenced the first time we turned this HT2050 on and had probably a 150 inch vivid bright picture on the white wall without a real screen. When I bought a 55 inch HDTV for our living room I was not real pleased with the color and had to calibrate it from the Internet with different people suggestions which I finally did get. But when turning this BENQ on I feel no need to calibrate anything. it is perfect right out of the box. There are four picture selection such as vivid normal cinema sports and I am pleased with anyone of them. I also had researched online about home theater projectors for two days before deciding on this particular model. So save yourself some time and don't be disappointed with this great product that is priced right and delivers more than expected. Their ceiling mount is also worth purchasing since it's made specifically for their units and also looks a lot cleaner and less clunkier than a lot of the standard ceiling mounts.

Amazing contrast. Black levels are great. For 1080p and it’s amazing as it supports HDR content. We watch tons of movies on streaming services and the quality is amazing. It is very bright as well and paired with a good screen makes it a dream like having a home theatre. I would be hesitant to buy a budget 4K projector over this one as it is that good and has the upgraded LED bulb that will last for years to come. It also has a proven track record of performing without an issue for years.

Finding the right projector for our needs was challenging. Needing a “ short-ish” throw. Only about 7.8 feet between the back wall (on an angle as well projection) to the 92” screen. With this HT2050A we hit the mark! Super easy to set up with its vertical and horizontal keystone correction plus lens shift. We use only at night or dark days, so Cinema mode is excellent. Colours are fantastic. The big this for my eyes are “NO RAINBOW” effect. With DLP you always run the risk of this. To my eyes (which I have been prone to with other DLP models) none exist. Way better than LCD we had tested. Great black levels in Cinema mode. Easy to use menu and a backlight remote. So nice to use. For the money I can’t imagine a better home projector. With its versatility in set up to its picture quality. Very happy with this purchase.

First projector. I mounted it on my ceiling and have a pull-down 100in screen that drops over my Panasonic Plasma. The family is really enjoying the experience. I finally see the glory of 3d as we had a 3d festival on the weekend with Avatar, Mad Max, I Robot, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. The set up was dead simple, and the modest lens shift is perfect for aligning the image based on 16:9 or 2.39 format. The viewing area is my south exposure living room with full patio doors, so there is ambient light which the projector handles well. While I enjoy a full 7.1 surround sound environment, I have a Roku stick plugged in the HT2050 USB and find the sound from the projector very good for watching Youtube or podcasts. Also, I have turned my Xbox 360 on for the first time in 2 years and the projector has no discernible lag and the immersive of spending 12 straight hours with Cortana and Master Chief completing Halo 4 was great. The image quality, the ease of setup, the aesthetic look of the packaging, the low noise, the bright picture with good contrast makes this a real value for the price. combine it with a nice screen and you will have a great home theatre in your living room or den for about $1,000.

The 1st had to be replaced. No return issues. Hats off to seller and amazon. Looked like someone forgot a sticker that was covering lens internally. So 2nd projector has great colour in 2 or 3d. No rainbow noticed, but I'm not a pro. Great presets for colours. Surprisingly good on board sound though I don't need or use it. ( stereo sound.) decent input array as in description. I use it ceiling mounted in front of screen about 10 feet from screen. I use a drop down screen 100 inch because my plasma tv is mounted to the wall and screen comes down in front of tv when I want big screen action. I can see how it works best with a fixed screen or painted wall. No projector fault. Just the way it is. For me it's okay. You will notice anomalies without solid screen especially in panning high speed cinematic shots. VERY QUIET! Seriously. Great deal for the money. It does give best pic in low light. I use simple drapes drawn over window when using before full dark. Works plenty well. No problems having LED rope light lit for ambient mood and safety. Mine is Ina purpose built home theatre appx 14 x 14 feet with two rows of seats ( one elevated 7 inches) and surround sound system ( Panasonic) well worth the effort and well worth the money. I use BenQ and othernobrand 3 d glasses. The benq are more comfy but both provide great picture quality. My ceiling mount is not benq but works great I use an8 inchdrop from my ceiling to projector.

Probably the best projector for the money. This is the second ht2050A I've purchased since 2016. I couldn't ask for a better picture. I've had both running 16hrs a day since then and I was shocked to only see one mechanical failure in that period of time.
