My First Projector (on a 120" screen) 

*We use the **Bestt.Digital** projector along with the Amazon Firestick which enables us to pair with an external bluetooth speaker. It's been super fun, especially during COVID.*

Man, you have the best 'underground' technology channel; when it comes to information and honesty, it very easy to trust your judgment/ logic on electronics. Great video man, looks awesome.

Man, you put this video together painstakingly for us. Lots of respect, lots of thanks!

This one of the best product review i have seen so far..

dude, really one of the best reviews of a projector I have ever seen! Clear instructions on how you mounted the projector and set the image. Thanks, this helped me a lot.

One of the best videos on setting up a home theater. Great job!

Techfreshness, I give you props on this! I totally feel the style and creativity you had with your room. It definitively brings a mello, zin-like mood. The purplish blue lights by the screen, looks like a subwoofer you got there in the middle of them too. Even your choice of furniture! Amazing! I also like what you did with the projector itself, hanging it on the ceiling. I bet that was a great project...

Dude, the way you speak in your videos is so refreshing. You sound like a normal person when going through everything, rather than talking like a freaking news anchor. Really sets you above others IMO

It really inspires to own a projector. Finally i have decided to buy one for my home and 150inches screen.

Man, thank you so much for this review! I am planning on buying a good Projector. Your review is really so in depth. I really like how many time you put in your video's and how you explain everything so well! As of today, you have a new subscriber ! :-D

This is my first video by you I've watched and I really enjoy that you don't go into unnecassary technical specifics, you just use common sense and reasoning. Thanks for just being upfront and honest these are guides that are in my opinion the most helpful.

Really great explanations, thanks dude. I have never dealt with projectors or their screens, but a potential customer needs theirs repaired, so this video is really useful info!

Really great in-depth review...Everything I needed to know! good job

I really love and enjoyed this video. Think of doing this for my living room.

excellent video on all fronts - great job setting up your projector and screen, great diy instructions, great results, very well done!

Great video, very informative. I was thinking about going the projector route but had some doubts. This video helped clear them up.

Thanks for the awesome video. How is it holding up over 2 years later? Any unmentioned problems since? Thanks for taking the time to make this video

Thanks to you I ordered this projector omg in love with it p.s Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much ! I’m getting this projector one day for my apartment living room but I’ll have it on a flat surface and I want the screen you have but without mounting it on the wall since I’m renting.

I’m adding this projector to my wish list. Also loved your video! It was very informative and love how you take the time to install and go through the specs of both the projector and the screen. You deserve more views for this!!!

Hey Tech Freshness, could you give us an update on how this beauty is holding up after almost 4 years? How's the bulb?

Great review thanks. Nice how u talked about the projector and did demos.

I am happy to see that you didn't paint your ceiling dark, everyone tells me I should do that but with the lights off it looks fine!

Great video. Very informative, and inspiring. I want a 100" projector screen now. Also your voice is very calming too lol.

Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot with my setup and install of my BenQ HT 3050 and 120 inch screen. My set up is almost identical to yours. Now when I'm watching my 60 inch LG it seems so tiny.

Nice set up. I actually got the BenQ HT2150st with the same top mount protecting on a 135" screen. Every time I go back to watching regular TV on my 60" I'm just like..... DAMN this TV is SMALL lol

I really appreciate you putting this video up on RU-vid . I've never purchased a projector before and have been agonizing over which model to get and your video has been most helpful !

This is amasing, its because of you that am going to buy a projector, that 120 inch cinema experience in your home is absolutely awesome

nice work---keep it up !!

Awesome movie room

You are absolutly fantastic Sir! :) I wish all videos were as great as this... A huge thank you from Turkey! :)

Nice one. Great to see home PJ's, I'm a Home Projectionist, brought my set up on a budget of just £320 and a lounge room of 27ft by 25ft. Had my setup for 3yrs, 120" electric screen, Optoma HD 230x PJ, Powered by an old style Sony Surround. All equipment is over 5yrs old, and you still get the WoW factor from friends. BluRay movies are over whelming. Great to see people buy PJ's instead of TV's, you get more bang for your buck as they say. And most PJs are easy to fix. Thanks for sharing the man cave.

Great video man! I just setup the exact same thing cause of your video. Great choice. Would you mind sharing info on the couch?

Thanks to your review I'm getting a 120" projector setup Thank Youhh !!

Excellent video. I'm in the process of making a cinema room and this video helped a lot. Good work.

Good video! Like the fact that you cheered for Verstappen and were totally into the driving, moving your head looking beyond the corners.

I didn't know dragging a link will open new tab. Thanks for this short cut.

Got the same setup around Christmas (BenQ ht2050 and 120" screen) and it's absolutely epic. Way better value than any TV, and the BenQ projector is an absolute beast, even great for gaming with the low input lag. Always run it in eco mode to extend the lamp life (6000 hours). Really great projector at a very reasonable price. Pro Tipp: don't try to save money on a cheap ceiling mount.

Great video, not just the projector but your explanation of all the features and modes boss! Very good

So good! Awesomely done! Definitely doing this to the new garage! Thanks 🙏

Thanks. Enjoyed your video.

i love how u play bf4 on it.... just what i needed to see for my setup

1 year ago I did this setup thanks to this video. I have a 110 with grey screen in a smaller room and for the price I have zero regrets! The mount that he used is great too! Thanks

That was really good,thinking about doing this in my garage thanks.

Im a F1 fan too. And after seeing it on that projector I'm going to get me one now. Nice video!!!!

Maaaaan I should have never watched your video,now you've got my wheels turning and I want one too,even though I have never considered getting a projector because of the blurie picture with natural or reassessed light but I admitted I changed my mind after watching your video . I will have to do more research though, they can you make a video about hooking up the sound system. Thanks

Amazing. I loved your setup. I have the space and I was searching how to do it. Thank you for sharing.

Bro u absolutely killed this review I was looking for an totally different projector but couldn't turn yours off👍🏾👍🏾

how did you connect your gaming console to the projector while its on the ceiling? Im still trying to figure this out for myself

What Chrome extention is that when you slide the link to the right?

Wow 😮, best set up video i have ever seen in my life!!!

Placing the board up in the ceiling for mounting.......sweeet!!!! Nice useful tips that im gonna exercise....since im expecting finally my 1st home w/basement soon.

I just went out and got the project, couch and screen.. All that I have to do now is save up for the house with basement. One paycheck at a time, maybe in the next 10 years I'll be there... I just gotta find a place in my one bedroom apartment to keep these thing until then. You gotta start somewhere right? :) You nailed it dude, the finished project was amazing. congrats!!! :)

RS-232 is for control systems like Crestron Should have spent a few hundred more for a 3 Chip LCD projector which is brighter and gives you a much wider color gamut but that's just what I would have done. If I was you I would consider painting the ceiling matte black so you get less light bounce and plus it will probably make it look more like a home theater also friendly suggestion Vivid is bad for your projector because its to bright not to mention over saturated colors and unrealistic skin tones Cinema mode is best Either love seeing people build there home theaters cheers

Thanks for the link and the review.. This was 2 years ago have you updated the projector as yet to something that can give you 4k? Thanks again mate

Hey great video! Question. I just bought this same HT2050A to replace my older Epson. My projector is mounted at about 14.25' away ceiling-mounted and the screen image on the wall is outside the 110" window. There is no adjustment available to make the image smaller staying in 16:9. How were you able to adjust the sizing?!

17:45 blue lights or just me? if blue lights, can you have those on and not adversely affec the image. Great video :)

Great job looks like a lot more then under 1,000 dollars

Great review. Love the Benq models. They seem cost-effective, as does the Silver screen. Thanks!

Hey man great video!! Question: how did you run the power, sound, and HDMI cords? I also have a drop ceiling but no roof outlet. Looks like you hid them very well. Thank you!!

Wowwwwww. We must be on the same wavelength. My video this week is about projectors. lol. Nice video as usual!

Great job!!!

great vid! I'm considering getting a projector over buying a tv so this really helped. much more cost effective too. Thanks!!

thanks for this great review. All I was wondering about is to what kind of device you connected the projecter. A home cinema system? laptop? And to what extend is a good system impacts the projector screen quality

where'd you get that couch?

Probably the most well rounded dedicated home theater setup video I've come across. I'm in the market for a screen and projector and this really shed Alot of light on my search. I think there's a pun in there.

One of the best videos about TV vs Projector. Covered all the aspects of projector setup. Thank You.

Very comprehensive and thorough review! I love the explanation but it was even more effective with the demonstration! I'm looking into buying a projector and this was very helpful.

Pretty cool

Thanks a lot man, you saved me a bunch

I didn't know I needed this until now.

Damn your video is great. Sensible speech, no BS, you justify your choices well and explain thinking. I am so impressed I subbed as soon as I finished watching.

Really well done and comprehensive video. I think the 120" size is perfect. Always go with the bigger size than you think they say. your video got me excited for my future basement build-out. Thanks!

16:13 all cool, but need full darkness )))

What an indepth video! Lots on info, set & even demos. Demo @15:59 sold me! Now i have to look into a Projector before a HDR 4K TV. You my good man, have earned a sub.

The best part in this video is when you and your father where working together in the installation. I wish for you the best! #happyfamily

Thats the life

Badass I wish I had a room to do that 😂😂

Impressive killstreak of Battlefield! Also, great review... clear and informative. Cheers!

Do you hace to put the projector on the screen? Can you use a regular blu ray plaer?

I am very poor but i enjoy looking at new devise that i still came see and dream of having maybe in another life time...What do ypu think....Thank you very much...

i have installed more than 500 home theaters with projectors and sound system form 5.1 to 7.2 and off course dolby digital atmos

I bought my first Hitachi projector in 2001 when home theatre projectors were in there infancy. Brightness and contrast ratios were low, but with the curtains closed it worked great when watching movies with my Pioneer Laser Disc player. Projectors today have a lot more technology in them and of course are a lot brighter, my next purchase will be a laser projector. They use lasers for the light source and are super bright, good for bright areas like living rooms etc. Whilst top end home theatre projectors are more expensive, they give an amazing picture with excellent contrast ratio and a much bigger screen than any TV. To help the picture appear brighter for smaller / older projectors, it's ideal to have the room as dark as possible. Either painting walls and the ceiling black (floor should be dark carpet) will allow the light to be absorbed. If you can put dark or black curtains around the walls it will also help with sound absorption (less echo). Thanks for the great video, very useful for beginners!

Well done! Thanks for making this video!

You need more subs

Watched this on my projector. Yes it makes more sense than Tv if its for watching movies at night. One of the best investments i have made in AV too. Next you need to get a receiver (i use denon) and good speakers (mine are Jamo) and you are all set!.

Great Video! Thanks for the upload. When I built my theater I had to do a lot of research to answer all the questions I had. You pretty much covered everything I learned. Perfect guide for anyone wanting their own home theater setup. My advise would be that projectors do have some convinces that televisions don't though T.V.s are far out accelerating the picture quality and technology of projectors. I don't mind the softer image a projector provides. To really make any home theater I would highly recommend investing in a respectable sound system to make the experience.

Love that room and lights!! Super cool!

Go Hawks!

The reason you struggled with stretching on the cloth was because you had to start in the middle of each side and slowly work your way to the corners on all 4 sides at the same time.

Amazing video. Great camera quality, awesome insights and really good content.

A nice simple, easy to do home cinema setup. We find another good isolator for the fan noise is an enclosure for the projector.

It's 2017... I'd have gone 4k... especially for this size

Exelente

While watching your video I got a call that my newly purchased projector just arrived 😊😊

Thanks, great explanation and demo. This video is 3 years old now and I have checked on the BenQ has dropped seriously in price but does not seem available from Amazon at the moment. Are you still using it or have you replaced it ?

$1,000. Now that's what I call a BUDGET setup...

did a side by side picture of your video with and without the screen on the wall, absolutely no diff. Im just using the white wall at my place and its been perfect 8 years ive owned my projector, no need to hang that screen dude. when you seating that far, it looks super smooth and clear even on a bare wall

I know this vid is incredibly old but that is such a gorgeous setup.🤩

Great review man! Seriously answered so many questions.
