  • Impressive image quality at this price.
Color: 4LED HDR Gaming
I found trying to choose a projector a pretty daunting task. Way worse than shopping for a television. Eventually I settled on the TH690st and have been very happy so far. I picked up a refurb unit which arrived with v1.02 firmware (there is also a v1.03 available). So far I haven't noticed any RBE or banding, and don't intend to start searching for it. The projector gave a great image out of the box with the default cinema mode and ECO lamp settings for SD content. To dial in the projector for HDR content I started with some calibration settings I found in online reviews and worked from there. I watched various films, especially those with darker content to help dial in brightness/gamma/contrast etc for my viewing room. At this price I think the image quality and contrast is really impressive. You can step up to 4K, but I think to match the contrast performance of this projector you'd be spending quite a bit more. It outputs some usable sound from the built-in speakers, but you're gonna want some dedicated speakers to make the most of it -- that real immersive experience of film is at least 50% sound in my opinion. ... show more

  • Just wow!
Color: 4LED HDR Gaming
The media could not be loaded. Projectors have leaped miles since the ones i remember in grade school. This is a 100-inch projection from my old hp laptop from about 5.5ft...on a wall! No screen here and I might not even purchase one to be honest. Obviously I have it in a light controlled room but omg this looks amazing! The color gamut is other worldly & input lag on "Game" mode with no keystoning is lightning fast! The only fixed setting of the picture in Game mode is the 2.0 color gamma which isn't quite as vibrant as BenQ's color gamma, but is still incredibly impressive. I'm extremely happy with this short throw led projector at this price point. You can spend 10s of 1000s of dollars and I guarantee it will not look much better than this. Excellent product, great seller! Thank you! ... show more

  • A decent projector… some significant issues. Look elsewhere! (Update: NOT “decent,” at all.)
Color: 4LED HDR Gaming
This thing is garbage. I really wish there were a zero stars option. My original review follows (unedited from when it was written, with a 2-star rating), with an addendum tacked on the end. Disregard anything remotely positive about the product. ADDITIONAL UPDATE. THIS IS SINGLY THE WORST ELECTRONICS COMPANY ON PLANET EARTH. They just charged my credit card for $1100 for a projector THEY asked me to hold onto temporarily to help THEM figure out what is wrong with it. I have NEVER been so upset with any company I have dealt with… IN LIFE. I’m reporting them to the BBB and Consumer Reports and any other consumer safeguarding or product review institution I can find. ——— This is a decent projector, especially at this price point… considering that the cheapest real and true “native 4K” projector is a Sony that costs over 5 grand, might as well go with a good 1080p until those native 4K units come down a bit. It’s easy to operate and setup, is pretty decent even without low light, is VERY short-throw which was a must in my situation, and generally looks good. I do have some issues, however. There is a problem getting an HDR picture for two of the three sources I use. I’m a bit of an A/V enthusiast, so I’m not unfamiliar with buried options menus and odd things that can affect things like this. I have isolated the problem to the projector (98.9% confidence level)… i.e. the projector isn’t recognizing the sources as being HDR compatible (and/or, because of the projector not recognizing that they are, the HDMI feedback loop makes the sources “think” that IT isn’t HDR compatible). This diagnosis and trying to get it sorted has taken an unbelievable amount of time (I’m talking like an entire day’s worth of my life wasted on it.). AND, the problem persists. Tech support has been very friendly, but not yet effective. And, they don’t seem to thoroughly read all of my communications, as evidenced by them repeatedly suggesting things I’ve already tried and have told them I’ve tried. What is most frustrating, however, is that it appears I will have to send the unit in… but just for a stupid firmware update. This is because you can’t use a USB thumb drive to do so. Apparently, this is one of their only models that can’t be updated this way. Even the tech who advised I update, after I suggested that maybe that was the problem, didn’t know it couldn’t be done this via USB stick. So, I had to go out and buy a USB-A male-to-male cable cause I haven’t needed one in years. To buy it, I exchanged the USB thumb drive I had purchased after the adviser told me I could do it that way (cause I never use those either). Two trips to the store, which was a TOTAL waste of time… plus $10 I can’t get back now, for a cable I’ll never use in life ever again. Here is why. GET THIS. You cannot load the firmware update software to the projector via tablet, phone, Macintosh desktop, or even a different PC that isn’t running specifically Microsoft Windows OS. I tried 6 different sources, including my wife’s work computer that she brought home for me for this purpose because it DOES run Windows. However, both it, and a friend’s laptop, completely rejected the firmware update program as being spyware or something. This. Is. ABSURD. Note: It is now functioning again, though still without HDR on the two sources. It got stalled out due to my putting it into the mode necessary to upload the firmware—instructions for that are in the form of a hard to see and cheap youtube video with no voiceover. Getting it back to working at all, and losing my tweaked picture settings in the process, took 4 restarts and more screwing around. So, now I have to send them all the necessary information to presumably ship me a box to send them the thing. 3 days to process the information I send in, for some reason. Then however long to get the box. Then packing it up (I assume I’m responsible if it’s damaged in transit.). Then however long for it to get to them. Then however long for them to update it (should be a minute but will almost certainly take a day or two). Then however long to get it back. Then I’ll have to reinstall it at my house and redo all the picture settings I had done previously. And… for all I know, the HDR might still not work. I’d look for another projector if I were you. ——— UPDATE. My replacement has arrived, and has a significant issue of some type. I cannot see anything. It’s barely visible in pitch black darkness. I struggled to even navigate the menu to crank the brightness all the way up, and turn off the eco power mode, and everything else I could think of. Since the remote doesn’t light up and has an awkward button layout, I had to use my phone to make that visible to try to adjust the thing… Astonishingly, the amount of light generated by the flashlight on my phone was enough to wash out the entire 100” picture. I would be on the floor rolling with laughter at how pathetic that is if I wasn’t out more than $1000 and robbed of probably 1 or 2 DAYS worth of time (no exaggeration). Right now, I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping they get my general inbox email before they close for the weekend (Is closing on the weekend still even a thing?). The hours they’re open are essentially bank/post-office hours, which is absurd cause that’s when many people are at work, not watching TV… You can’t reply to their emails related specifically to a warranty exchange/replacement, and (surprise surprise) they’re somehow “experiencing higher than normal call volume” (or whatever) every time I call, and the customer service phone number doesn’t have voicemail. So, here I sit, with 2 glorified paper weights and a $1,100 hold on my credit card, waiting for them to interrupt my work day to waste another couple hours not fixing my problem. I would sooner carve out my eyes with a dull grapefruit spoon and crawl naked up a mountain covered in poison-ivy-adorned burning cacti, rusty nails, and broken glass while drinking hemlock-infused rotten rat’s milk and fending off tick-ridden rabid wolves, poisonous snakes, and carnivorous locusts than buy another Ben Q product. Now then, I’m gonna go through my order history and find an A/V product made by a more a reputable and dependable company, like Radio Shack, so I can write a better review for something. ... show more

  • Image quality and color is awesome, just be ready for some rainbow effect...
Color: 4LED HDR Gaming
I came from a 200 dollar 1080p budget projector, and, after blasting it playing Elden Ring for too long it showed some burning spots on the projection, so, i decided to go for a quality projector. I wanted the X3000i, but the tv thing was useless for me, and then, this TH690ST came out and at specs is just like a X3000i but without the fancy streaming thing, so i got it. The image quality i GREAT the colors look GREAT man that red looks more saturated than on my gaming monitor O.O light effects look awesome as if they where coming from a monitor screen. Then, the issue...i started to really notice the rainbow effect when playing games and texts on screen. At first i started to play with the setting and it seemed as it was less prominent when proper refresh rates where used, but soon i understood it was inevitable, i just had to adapt to it, and so i did, now after using it for a good time i just got so used to the effect i barely even notice it, and if i do i just don't care anymore, i just enjoy the picture quality and forget about it :p So there, awesome projector, of course good for gaming cause of the 120HZ and game mode-low input, but everything looks great on it, i would say is better for a dark environment, but that goes for any projector... ... show more

  • Best1080p gaming projector
Color: 4LED HDR Gaming
I just came from a bulb projector (TH700STi; I left a review there too) to this LED one, and can't believe people game in bulbs when this thing exists. It's so much better in every respect: color, lifespan, heat, noise, throw. It's revolutionary. Loses on brightness, but it's more than good enough (I can see it clearly on a 120ft screen with the windows open in the daytime) and less fatiguing for gaming. SDR is way brighter than HDR mode for some reason. I'm also not seeing ANY rainbow effect, contrary to other reviews. I'm so happy with it I want to save up for a x3000i, though hesitant since the throw is much longer. ... show more
