I got this projector based off this review; I mostly use it for streaming movies and videos and it’s great! I would recommend it especially if it’s on sale; it’s a great sub $1500 projector.
I hate that it doesn't have 2.1 HDMI 120hz. If you don't use this projector for competitive gaming it doesn't have much use. Your better off getting a W2710i, TK860i or the older version for a good deal. The new versions also have a low lag by the way. Making this one pretty much obsolete, because the picture quality is much better. I would still wait for 2.1 HDMI one though around this price range. I would sell this one before next year if i was you. I'm guessing the next ones are gonna be 2.1, so this one will drop very fast in value because it's a gaming projector and they upgraded the last ones with low latency. The next logical step would be 4K120hz 2.1. A 2.1HDMI projector will hold it's price for longer. Before midrange graphic cards can do 8K 120hz it's the year 2040.
So when you're watching something on the projector, do you have another chair opposite it, or do you have to shift around the big cinema seats every time? :D
Excellent video, it's exactly what I needed to know. The projector looks great and I'll order one this week: 4K, Android Tv and smaller than most of its BenQ siblings.
Great, been waiting for a decent review on the 1800i. In your opinion would it be worth buying this or spending £500 more on the Xgimi horizon pro? Looking to purchase in the next weeks. Thanks for the video!
Xgimi definitely has a lot of quality of life features and great speakers built in, and built in Android TV. However, it isn’t as bright, and any color accuracy will still suffer from a dim image. Also, since it is a Chinese brand, I’ve heard that some people have had issues sending it in for repairs. I have the TK 700, and have absolutely loved it so far! It’s pretty bright, and doesn’t look as washed out in daylight. Setup is simple enough. The color accuracy is good; I don’t have any experience with the Xgimi, but from what I see the color accuracy is better. Also, the TK700 has a shorter lamp life but you can easily buy a replacement. Biggest factor is portability; if you’re expecting to move your projector around and use it indoors and outdoors, I would get the Xgimi. If you expect to have your projector in one room or fixed spot, go for the TK700. I would also recommend checking the HT3550 if you’re using for a home cinema and want better color accuracy.
Looks an awesome projector, and great review. Have you an idea of the fan dB noise? As for me that will be the deciding factor as it'll be hanging from my ceiling above my seating position. Great video 👍
Does looks a little Different form the TK700Sti - this model is a RGBRGB color Wheel when the TK700STi is a RGBWRGBW?....personally I think this is a good thing for the W1800i
I need help, im torn between purchasing the Benq Tk700sti and the TK850i, I mostly just care about pure picture quality.... which one would you say is better in that term?
Magnifica review video, eyo estoy pensando en comprar este proyector, lo quiero instalar en una estantería que esta situada en un lateral de la sala cerca del techo, quería preguntarte si tendría problemas para ajustarla a la pantalla. Gracias.
This or the xgimi horizon pro ? For movies edit I bought it it’s amazing the picture quality is along the lines of Sony and just full 4K projectors so unless you have 5k plus to spend this is a beautiful projector with little to no lag for gaming if I would upgrade right now it’ll be a jvc but at $8000 and even then there might only be a slight difference in contrast and blacks which honestly does make a big difference in picture quality but as far as I seen in stores like Nebraska furniture mart they look very similar which is surprising
Looks like a great projector. Unfortunately I need a projector with a larger zoom. My current 720p projector is around 17.5 feet away, shelf mounted and I have room for around 130 inch picture. Any 4K projector recommendations? Thanks.
Great review. Any plans on doing an Optoma Uhd 38 (US) review? It seems very similar to the Benq 700sti (US), but l can't find any reviews of it. Thanks in advance.
Do you know if a firestick can be placed in the compartment slot instead of the included stick? Would be great if it does and could be shut away. I know it’ll go in another hdmi but would like it shut away. Also is it bright enough for a room with window and no blind? Mainly watching at night but be nice to have something that was ok in daylight, unfortunately I think 2000 lumens won’t do it?
For anyone who doesn't want to spend $1600 dollars on a projector with these specs, don't worry there's an ultra budget model that's super impressive, the Viewsonic PX701-4k has the same input lag rating as the tk700sti at 4 ms with 1080p at 240hz yes the ultra budget can do all the resolutions, and refresh rates as the tk700sti, the downside though, no eArc, no streaming stick implementation, and no 3D, but for people who don't care about 3D and don't mind getting around the issue its a no brainer.
Hi great video and product.. Just one question.. My projector at the moment is 8ft away as its a short throw.. I'm getting 120 inches from that distance.. Can I use this in the same place and maybe zoom in if it will allow me to..?
YES .Those chairs great (but) They are very expensive in fact most of your stuff is expensive so that being the case it’s not for me that’s not a criticism in fact i am quite jealous.
None of these projectors are good value nowadays. If it had 2.1 HDMI ports it would be good value, but now you will need to buy a new one in the next year or 2 years. I would wait buying this projector until one arrives with 4k 120hz. A 2.1 HDMI projector could last you 10 years.
Are you sure it's 240hz at 1080pwith 4ms? On the official site input lag 3 frame (50ms) 60Hz. It's different by TK700Sti, it's not for gaming, TK700Sti is for gaming, with 240hz in 1080p and 4ms of latency.
they have the same TI chip 700 is short throw, brighter, rgbw wheel, so black levels are not good w1800i is something between "cinema" and "gaming" projector, rgbrgb wheel. i think 1800 is more interesting...
@@hakke5969 I'm interesting about input lag and hz, and I repeat, BenQ W1800i seeems it doesen't support low latency and 240hz, on the official site it has 50ms latency.
@@lorenzoocchipinti9120 u are not right. 1)i find specs on benq uk official site 2)i wrote to benq tech support, they confirmed 4k60hz 16ms, 1080p120hz 8ms, 1080p240hz 4ms U can write yourself to them, and confirmed it.
