On the left corner there is a big air vent for blowing the hot air out of the unit. ![]() Looking the front face of the unit it features an asymmetrical design as the lens have been placed to the right side with the front IR sensor sitting right next to it. In general it is a bit bigger than many Full HD projectors but this is normal for almost all 4K projectors either it be native of pixel shifting ones. ![]() Featuring a size of 13.9 x 5.31 x 10.71 inch (353 x 135 x 272 mm) and weight of 9.26 lbs (4.2 kg) this projector is definitely made with portability in mind and you will understand why from many of the features it comes equipped with. The BenQ TK800M features a very curvy design that is very characteristic of BenQ projectors as from the first look you can understand this is one of their models. Now why BenQ decided to keep the same name for this one and choose two different names for the other is something we don’t get really. So in essence the TK800M keeps it’s naming among all territories. ![]() There is also the HT2550 in the US market which is almost the same model but with better colors instead of brightness while in other markets like in the UK and Europe comes by the name of W1700. The TK800M is the 2019 version of the TK800 model that was released in 2017. But before we analyze it’s looks we need to clear the naming in order to distinguish the similar models out now. Having previous first hand experience with the HT2550 meant that looking the TK800M is like looking the same model with different colors. So without further delay let’s see what is on offer. The TK800M belongs to the Home Entertainment Projectors series which is supposed to be the most mainstream series from BenQ and since we didn’t have the chance to review the previous model it is now the perfect opportunity to test the new 2019 version and determine how similar, or not, it remains to it’s brother the HT2550. You couldn’t have both in a projector that would be in the sub-$2000 category.īut BenQ instead of choosing one or the other decided to create two models that have great similarities in many of their specs but with one having more brightness (TK800) and mostly suited for sports and gaming while the other (HT2550) having better colors and thus suited more for home theaters with low light environments.Īnd so now it seems that BenQ decided to release an improved version of it’s brightness capable model with a few worthy updates compared to it’s predecessor. But these new and affordable chips had to be optimized either for brightness or for better colors. Now with Texas Instruments DLP chips these so called 4K projectors would fake a 4K image with minimal lose in quality but huge gains in price reductions making space for a new segment in the market for 4K pixel shifting projectors. Today in out BenQ TK800M review we will be reviewing the 2019 upgrade of the TK800, called TK800M.ĤK projectors were very expensive equipment until the moment that pixel shifting technology was discovered. One of them was the HT2550 (or W1700) that was optimized to have better colors while the other unit called TK800 was optimized for better brightness. But if there was an interesting fact about that projector was that BenQ had released two very similar models adding more confusion among consumers. Lower zoom and throw ratio from previous modelĮarlier this year we had the pleasure to review one of BenQ’s most affordable 4K pixel shifting projectors with the HT2550, or W1700 in some other markets, managing to get very positive comments from us.
