BenQ TK800 True 4K UHD HDR Home Entertainment Projector, DLP, 3000 Lumens, HMDI, Football Mode - White/Blue

Product Information

The TK800 has an optical system designed for 4K resolution, which means it uses high-grade glass for superior image quality. A precision seven-element, four-group lens array allows for greater light penetration at higher resolutions, and a low-dispersion lens coating minimizes chromatic aberrations and allows for improved clarity.

BenQ TK800 projector is undoubtedly the best option for home theatre as it features a Sports Mode, too. This is the best choice to be entertained at home either by gaming or watching movies. It’s economical and efficient too, so just don’t delay your entertainments and get the best today. BenQ TK800M The Optoma UHD60 is similar in performance, but significantly different in price. Other projectors to ponder... It gives superior and immaculate image quality by avoiding inherent alignment issues up to the perfection that you won’t notice any blurriness, shaking, glitch, or freeze. That’s because the optical system of this projector uses premium quality glass to provide realistic-looking images. The projector features Football & Sport modes yielding crispiest sounds that’ll surely life-like action giving you a feel like you’re sitting in the stadium.Zoom lens light loss. The TK800 has a 1.2x zoom lens that we measured a losing about 3% at the telephoto end, so there is no reason to worry about which end of the zoom you're using. For the purpose, the BenQ TK800 is the best home projector for various entertainment purposes like sports, movies, picture show, and gaming. Input Lag: Input lag at 44 ms on the TK800 is slightly faster than the 50 ms on the HT2550. This is fine for most casual gaming, but serious or professional gamers may want a faster unit since many 1080p projectors can get down to 16 ms. However, they are not 4K projectors - 44 ms is about as fast as we've seen on 4K models; only the PX747-4K beats the TK800, but only by one at 43 ms. As far as the daylight performance is concerned, both these minions are well-trained and well-managed meaning they won’t fail miserably even where other expensive models do.

It’s a product designed for a market that probably doesn’t really fit with your typical AVForums home cinema fan, but it does a decent enough job of what it sets out to do and at a reasonable price point. If we had tested the BenQ as solely a home cinema model for critical movie viewing it wouldn’t score well at all, given that niche set of image quality points it would need to hit, but this isn’t one of those projectors and doesn’t pretend to be. In HDR, the TK800M has great light output, too. On my 0.9-gain screen I was able to measure just over 50 foot-Lamberts (fL). To put this in context, a good light level in a dark room is around 15 fL, while you want that up around 30 with ambient light during the day. The extra brightness of the BenQ allows for some nice HDR highlights that really pop while using the projector in a dark room. This projector comes with 4K UHD screen featuring whopping 8.3m pixels fand HDR colour quality for any lighting. And that, no projector can beat for sure.It is a brighter projector and its increased brightness does not overly compromise color saturation to any significant degree. Overall, we are more enthused with the TK800 than we were the HT2550 based on these two samples. The life of the light source of any projector directly affects its longevity. That’s why its crucial to keep in mind while selecting a model for your home and entertainment. You won’t want to spend on the light source more often. The TK800 doesn’t carry a native 3,840 x 2,160 set
of DLP ‘mirrors’, but can manipulate these mirrors fast enough to deliver two pixels from each mirror for every image frame. This, in conjunction with proprietary Texas Instruments processing, delivers a 4K effect that’s hard to distinguish from native 4K.

As mentioned above, both these models perform well and feature inspiring 4K HDR image quality so you can enjoy the best of the gaming performances within the ease of your home.The main selling point of the BenQ TK800 is that it supports 4K and while this is true, it’s worth pointing out that the projector’s DLP chip is not 3840x2160 pixels. It uses XPR technology, which essentially takes a 1920x1080 pixel DLP chip and flashes the image four times in incredibly fast succession to create an image with a perceived resolution of over eight million pixels. Amazingly this actually works, and even with test patterns the images appear to be 4K in terms of resolution.

The best thing about both these projectors is their Football Mode that amazingly let you taste all the outdoor games within the comfort of the indoors. You can witness glitch-free video streaming with the clearest video play and the richest colours even better than what you see online. Color balance in factory default calibrations is also similar between the two. Compared with a reference image, both deliver a reasonably close match, but they differ slightly in different ways, so each is more similar to the reference image than they are to each other. With Brilliant Color on, the TK800 has the better color balance. With Brilliant Color off, the HT2550 gives a very close match to the reference image, and better color balance than the TK800. One last plus for the TK800 is that it is a brighter projector, and its increased brightness does not overly compromise color saturation to any significant degree. Based on the second HT2550 test unit, we are equally enthused with both units. We'd put the TK800 higher on our short list for a room with ambient light, and give the HT2550 the higher spot for a dark room. These specs define and confirm the distance between the projector and the screen. For the TK800, you can opt for a distance of around 3.25m for a 100” widescreen whereas, for the TK800M, the ideal distance is somewhat 3.3m with a 100” widescreen. Adding on, another important thing to keep in consideration is how well the design blends with your room’s aesthetics. Keeping the design in mind, both these designs are fine and okay. Switching to 1080p content on Blu-ray stands up better to image scrutiny and we also used some streaming services in HD and 4K to further test and in the majority of tests the BenQ TK800 puts up a commendable and colourful performance that is likely to impress the intended users.However, the HT2550 we reviewed was one of the first production units off the line. BenQ has done a firmware upgrade to that model since our review. Since our test unit of the HT2550 was returned after the review, we have not seen the latest HT2550 with the new firmware. Based on the improved performance of the TK800 we think the HT2550 is worth a second look. It is quite possible that there have been some QC tweaks in manufacturing that account for the improved image sharpness and brightness uniformity of the TK800 over the early edition of the HT2550. If that is the case the HT2550s being shipped today may look better than the one we tested. TK800’s lightweight design and sleek, compact profile accentuates beautiful aesthetics as well as intuitive functionality and eco-friendly design. A chic addition to your living room décor with easy setup, TK800 makes your home entertainment simple and comfortable for friends and family to enjoy parties, sports, movies.
