BenQ TH671ST Short Throw Home Theater and Gaming 1080p 3000 Lumens DLP Projector - White

Good BenQ projector, good quality and great price

Nice picture

I tried a cheapo "6000" lumen projector before buying this one. It was riddled with issues and not nearly as bright as it claimed. The BenQ is TOO bright in our bedroom at night and I have to turn it to eco mode when combined with a screen. If you're projecting on a wall, you might want full brightness. What really let me down, was that the audio output was just really bad. Not nearly as bad as the cheapo projector I bought before, but very muddled. We are outputting to a decent sound system via the only audio output (aux jack) It seems like the projector was doing some kind of volume normalization that was making it sound just terrible. I almost returned my sound system, until I tried another audio source. Watching "Into the Spiderverse" really highlighted the issues. The fathers voice sounded like he was underwater, and any of the scenes with music and dialog were impossible to understand. It sounded like most characters were mumbling. All this said, I'll be keeping this projector, the short throw, zoom feature, accurate focus, clarity, and color reproduction is stellar. I purchased an HDMI audio extractor so I can separate audio from the Roku before it goes through the projector. I highly suggest not relying on the audio processing capability of this projector. Good: Crystal clear VERY bright (much brighter than the "6000" lumen projector I bought first) Lots of settings to tweak and get a perfect picture Out of the box experience is great Bad: Lack of audio outputs (limited to just an aux jack) Audio output is very muddled

Easy to set up, sharp picture. Would have liked it a bit brighter for daytime use. Also would have liked a screen trigger output to control a powered projector screen.
