Color accuracy, contrast, black level, shadow detail, and sense of three dimensionality are all among the best available for a projector in this price class, particularly with the Vivid TV color preset.Ĭolor Preset Mode Performance. The BenQ HT2050A offers a highly watchable image in all of its color preset modes. The Cinema preset combined with Economic power mode is 726 ANSI lumens-still bright enough for a 140" diagonal 1.3-gain screen in a dark room. Vivid TV in Economic mode delivers just a touch lower brightness, at 1021 lumens. In addition, for smaller screen sizes, the Cinema color preset offers similar picture quality with a little lower contrast at a still bright 1088 ANSI lumens. Dropping it into its eco-modes will be a good option for those who need no more than about 120" diagonal in a dark theater room. It can light up a 180" diagonal 1.0 gain screen in a dark room or 110" with moderate ambient light. The measured 1528 ANSI lumens may be too bright if you don't want a really big image. It also delivers a dark black along with excellent contrast and sense of three dimensionality. Starting with the default settings for Vivid TV, adjusting the Hue for red and green gives a close match to a reference image without any loss of brightness. In the full telephoto setting, the 1.3x zoom drops the brightness by only 6 percent, which is not enough to notice or bother considering when positioning the projector. It works much like an auto iris to make dark scenes darker, lowering power usage by as much as 70% and extending lamp life. There is also a SmartEco mode, which isn't an eco mode in the usual sense. Economic mode reduces brightness by about 33% compared with Normal mode. Our test sample of the BenQ HT2050A produced ANSI lumen readings for Normal and Economic lamp settings with the zoom lens at its widest angle setting as follows:
