Some highlights from me for posting this deal.
– Customer pays return transport. (I can not discover any data in the event that they cost restocking price).
– HT3550/ TK850 are each pixel-shifted to 4K from 1080P (or faux 4K), however many evaluations state their sharpness is nice for the worth level.
– Both are drastically reviewed projectors for $1000-2000 vary.
– Dark room/film functions – HT3550 is best than TK850M. HT3550 has higher distinction and calibrated colour.
– Bright room/sports activities/gaming functions – TK850 has 3000 lumens and is far brighter. It is best suited to these functions than HT3550.
– HT3550 vs HT3550i – “i” model of HT is listed as $1529.15. It comes with wi-fi USB dongle. I’m not certain whether it is presupposed to be a giant enchancment over HT3550. That’s about $300 greater than HT3550 for roughly the identical projector (based mostly on my analysis…) The worth distinction might be not justified. I personally imagine it’s higher to purchase HT3550 (and ditch HT3550i for present worth) and purchase separate media streaming USB stick like firestick 4K and maintain the money distinction IMO.
TK800M vs TK850 – TK800m is older mannequin. It can be listed at $1099 refurb. This is NOT a great worth. TK800M was $950 few months in the past and nonetheless $1149 model new on many retailers. Also, TK850 has dynamic iris, which may enhance the distinction/black degree of the photographs considerably. Ignore TK800M on benq’s refurbished web site.
– Based on transient SD search, I did not see a posting with HT3550 near this worth for some time. Latest deal publish is 12/24/2020 at $1199 refurb or $1499 new 2021 BF.
– Epson HC3800 is mentioned loads and in contrast usually towards TK850/HT3550 on projectors boards. HC3800 refurb was briefly FP earlier at the moment at $1330 refurbished, then bought out fast (Now $1399 on ebay by Epson direct).
– If you might be prepared to spend greater than $2000, Epson 5050UB is occassionally out there refurb $2500 or $2900-3000ish for brand spanking new these days. Epson 5050UB is thought for deeper black, however bear in mind that it is enormous and considerably heavier than HT3550 and TK850. Epson 5050UB ideally ought to offer you simpler mounting choices as a consequence of its lens shift changes out there.
