BenQ MH530FHD 1080P Home Theater Projector | 3300 Lumens | 3D Compatible | Keystone | 1.2X Zoom

I purchased this not for a home theatre room, but for a projector that could be portable for outdoor movies. I also didnt want to spend a lot of money as I didnt need 4k or anything like that. I noticed the price on this one had recently went down, and in ready reviews of a lot of other projectors, many people mentioned BenQ so I decided to go with it. Pros: Very Very sharp and great picture. 1080p seems legit. Bright - I was worried about lumens at first as this was my first projector. The 3300 was plenty bright. For Outdoor movies, at dusk light, it looked great. Menu Interface - It was very easy to navigate and set up the settings I wanted. Make sure to change the default picture from presentation to cinema mode for movies. Cons: Rainbow Effect - I did notice rainbow effect for some movies while others were just fine. I need to do some more investigation here. Not a huge mark down however as i only noticed it with one movie (Rogue One via Amazon Fire Stick) Audio - The native speaker is only 2 wats so obviously not nearly strong enough for any setting really, but what disapointed me was when trying to take audio out from the projector to an external speaker via 3.5m or A/V the power was significantly reduced as to what volume I could acheive. It tried to take audio out to a sound bar, and a few other external speakers to no avail. In order to get a strong audio here you must do one of the 2 options AFAIK: 1 - take the sound out to an amplified source like a guitar amp, or 2 - take the hdmi signal to a receiver or HDMI splitter with audio extractor first so that the audio never goes into the projector itself, only the external speaker. This way you bypass the audio limitations of the projector. I suspect most people looking for a permanent solution do this already, just know its not a simple audio out solution so you will need to invest in more things for a good experience. TL;DR - Good projector for the price, very sharp and bright for projector range, be prepared to solve the audio problem with external hardware, as well as an occasional rainbow effect with the DLP

First projector I have owned and man am i blown away. Coul use a couple more adjustments hence the 4 star review but it really deserves a 5 star im just being nit picky. Works decently well in day light hours but if there are a lot of dark colors they will bleed in day light. Once you turn the lights off and pull the blinds this thing shines though. I am using it on a 100" screen and can still read small text from around 15ft back clearly. I use this for gaming to and do not notice any lag. I have attached a picture of the same spot in a tv show with the lights off vs with them on. Bear in mind my camera phone struggles to take a good picture of this projetors image so it looks a lot better in person.

Install Flash Player I was terrified when buying this projector. I had a 9 year old BenQ projector which I spent about $3000 on at the time. Last year it started having power issues that were blowing the bulbs, so I took a break from projectors due to the headache the last one had caused. I finally decided to buy a new one, but was not willing to spend that kind of money again. I didn’t expect much, but after about 2 weeks of use, I am pleasantly surprised. No, it’s definitely not the clearest imagine I’ve ever seen. There are also some other small issues. One of them is that the I’ve noticed blurry spots on the screen when the camera quickly pans to the left or right in movies/shows. I haven’t noticed any issues with video games thus far or any lag. Also, no rainbow effect. I currently have it set up about 12 feet from the 100” screen and the installation couldn’t have been easier. It looks better at night, but daylight viewing is more than acceptable. This is obviously not the best projector you’ll ever see, but at the price point, it’s incredible. I debated between this one and an Epson projector with slightly better specs and reviews, but what it didn’t have was a 10,000 hour bulb life and a 3 year warranty. Based on my experience with this projector so far, you really can’t go wrong. I will continue to update as time goes on.
