BenQ W5850 Projector

The W5850 is engineered to deliver a true-to-source picture quality, focusing on color accuracy and high dynamic range performance ideal for darkroom environments.

• Factory Calibration & Certifications: Each unit is individually factory-calibrated to achieve a Delta E < 2, ensuring colors are exceptionally accurate to the industry standards used in film mastering. It is also THX and ISFccc certified.

• Filmmaker Mode: This feature ensures movies are displayed with the correct aspect ratios, frame rates, and colors, without additional HDR post-processing, exactly as the director intended.

• Advanced HDR Processing: The HDR-PRO technology includes features like Dynamic Tone Mapping that analyzes each frame in real-time, along with Local and Global Contrast Enhancers, to balance bright highlights and deep shadows for superior HDR performance.

High Installation Flexibility

This projector offers significant flexibility for placement, which is crucial for achieving a perfect image in various room layouts.

• Large Image from Short Distance: With its throw ratio, it can project a massive 180-inch image from just 4 meters away, and supports screens up to 200 inches, making it suitable for large screens even in rooms with limited depth.

• Motorized Lens Adjustments: The 1.6x motorized zoom and 4-way motorized lens shift allow for precise image positioning without physically moving the projector, and without any loss of image quality that can occur with digital keystone correction.

Laser Performance and Design

The laser light source provides several long-term benefits over traditional lamp-based projectors.

• Long Lifespan and Consistent Brightness: The laser engine has a lifespan of up to 20,000 hours (25,000 in Eco mode), maintaining consistent brightness and color performance over time without the need for lamp replacements.

• Quiet Operation: A multi-channel cooling system keeps operational noise low, between 27 dB and 30 dB, so it won't distract you during quiet movie scenes.

What to Consider

• Best for Dedicated Spaces: With 2,600 lumens, it is optimized for light-controlled, dark room environments.

• No Built-in Smart Features or Speakers: The W5850 is a pure video device. You will need external sources (like a streaming stick or Blu-ray player) and an external sound system.

The BenQ W5850 is an excellent choice if your priority is top-tier picture accuracy and installation flexibility for a dedicated home cinema. For a more versatile living room setup that includes built-in streaming and is brighter for environments with some ambient light, you might also want to look at its sibling model, the BenQ W4100i.
