BenQ V6050

The BenQ V6050 ultra short throw (UST) projector is aiming to replace your TV. Brighter than the average projector and with a soundbar built in, it certainly has the right specs, with its laser light source, 120-inch maximum screen size and easy set-up features. Indeed, this BenQ certainly talks a good talk.

UST has proved a tricky space for projectors. Burgeoning technologies such as this don’t come cheap, and the pure picture quality is rarely as good as you might expect from a traditional machine at even half the price. Spend a little more and you could get a native 4K projector. Traditional projectors don’t come with the same ease of installation or feature flexibility, so if that’s what you’re after, a UST is where it’s at. This BenQ might just be the best of them to date, currently priced £3999, with some retailers throwing in BenQ’s ALR projector screen.

Fiddly to get right
