BenQ - TH585P

Hey guys, first post here so forgive me if I get something wrong. Long story short, last year my Benq w1070 died on me and I started looking for a new projector. At first I tried to get the same projector (used) because I liked it so much. The projector that I got however, revealed to be not in very good condition, showing dust shadows all over the image. Frustrated, I went online and started looking for a new projector again, converging on the Benq TH585P. Not too many complaints on this, the only minor annoying thing are the black borders around the image which I think are a common occurrence with DLP projectors (I’m projecting on the wall not a screen). Lately I have pondering buying the switch 2, which I can see that in docked mode can output 4 K resolution and I have been wondering if instead of getting a 1080p projector I should have gotten a 4 K one. What do you guys think? Is it worth the upgrade now?

You really want to consider your setup and how you intend to use it. Ease of setup may be super important as many of the BenQ and Epson models are really designed to be accurately placed. Lens on center (left/right) and the lens needs to be near the bottom of the image. Generally speaking, the BenQ models are a good deal brighter than the Mars 3 or the Capsule 3. This makes a big difference overall and means you won't be limited by brightness. I like the TH585P as a solid entry level model. Not as nice as the HT2060, but still a good entry level model if you can place it accurately in your room. Make sure you fully understand this tool and the terms on the page...

yes i'm quite satisfied. i wanted to buy for the same reason as you 70% gaming, 30% streaming. before buying acer i have tried the following: \* benq th585p: low input lag is really good, and the viewing quality, but it was causing too much heat and fan noise, plus it was just hd \* Viewsonic PX701-4K: it was good, but the rainbow effect was too much, it was definitely too saturated colors therefore i returned it \* Aurzen boom 3: it was great overall, but it could not produce more than 30hz therefore it was causing lag, \* NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3): was the best for price / performance. but you had to position this projector 15 - 20 cm above your head to have the best viewing and low input lag. plus when its lamp expires you could not replace it. so at the end i've ended up buying acer. i hope these infos could help you. i am not sure about epson, but i guess they usually come either with too much fan noise or having only one hdmi input. when it's so, you should constantly unplug and plug the streaming stick.

This 👆.  Check on projectorcentral and see if the throw fits your size. If so it’s a great image and both go on sale for $499 pretty regularly

I went from cheaper 70inch 4k Samsung to benq 1080p projector I purchased on eBay. Even though the resolution isn’t as good I prefer the projector by a long shot. I love it
