The best 4K and 1080p projectors cost a pretty penny. But the benefits of high-definition projectors quickly become apparent when you see the kind of image available from a relatively small box.

There are many lower quality projectors on the market that will save you if you want to have a fun movie night. However, a high definition projector can give you an equally good image on any surface in your home or office. The versatility is what makes these projectors worth their price tag.

BenQ makes great projectors, and the BenQ HT3550 is no exception. This projector offers truly excellent color accuracy. It’s factory-tuned for the best color output, and it displays right out of the box. The BenQ is a fantastic 4K find for just under $1,500, which is low for a 4K projector. Our tester found that its 2,200 lumens were bright enough for broad daylight, which can be a challenge for many projectors.

Unfortunately, sluggishness is an issue with this projector, as our tester also noted slow boot-up and shutdown times. That might not bother you if you have a few extra seconds on either end, but we also noticed a bit of lag while gaming. Single-player games run just fine, but the 50ms input lag could hurt your overall performance in a multiplayer setting.
