BenQ HT2050A review: is this the best projector under $1000?
Projectors like the BenQ HT2050A are an intuitive option for those looking for a home theater display or a smooth gaming experience. It lets you enjoy a massive screen size without having to worry about the logistics of moving and mounting a traditional TV. It’s also more portable than a TV, so moving it from room to room is a breeze.
Yes, projectors typically lag behind traditional TVs in terms of resolution and have more latency/input lag than gamers want. But the HT2050A offers lag-free processing and is suitable for small spaces, capable of producing a 100-inch long screen from just 2.5 meters away and up to a 300-inch total image size. It offers 2,200 lumens of brightness and a 15,000:1 contrast ratio for a display that rivals even the best HDTVs, with a variety of picture modes (e.g. Bright, Vivid TV, Cinema, 3D, etc.)
The BenQ HT2050A is a sturdy but very capable projector with connectivity. At approximately 15 x 10.75 x 4.5 inches, this is not a small machine and will take up a fair amount of space on a coffee table or on a wall. We recommend taking note of the dimensions to see how the projector will best fit in your environment.
