First time projector owner and very happy with the HT4550i. Have it projecting onto a 120" screen from a distance of about 10 feet. With that short of a throw distance this was i think my only option for a 4k projector (it's up against the back wall so no room for anything longer than 10 feet). In addition to the flexibility with shorter throw distances, i really like: 1. Bulb-free 2. 4k detail is amazing 3. Relatively quiet I've never used another projector before so it's hard to comment on other things like contrast or black levels, but i'd say it's doing a great job. My room is dark so i'm happy with the black levels and out of the box i don't feel the need to make any adjustments to the calibration. The manual focus can be a bit of a challenge but once dialed in it's incredible how sharp the image looks. Have watched Avatar and Top Gun in 4K and the family is very impressed! Looking forward to re-watching all the old film movies transferred into 4K! (Review from BenQ.com)
I finally decided to make the jump from tv's to a projector. After plenty of research I settled on the HT4550i. It cost a little more than I had planned on spending, but the deciding factor was the fact that it claimed to work well in rooms with light. I was skeptical but after setting it up I can confirm that it does indeed work with the light on in the room. Obviously, it looks better with the lights off but it's nice to be able to play my Xbox without having to sit in complete darkness.It was also super easy to install myself. The only thing that would have made this a PERFECT purchase is if it came with the necessary bracket to hang it from the ceiling. For as much as it cost it should have been included in my opinion.(Review from BenQ.com

Recently got the go-ahead to build out a new theater in our basement. Previous house had a theater room with a Benq w1070, which I liked quite a bit, but I knew I wanted 4k, good brightness, etc. I was prepared to go with previous gen. projector when I saw that the 4550i was coming out. I bit the bullet on the newer, more expensive model, and from what I've seen so far it's worth every penny. After getting size adjusted, the picture right out of the box is amazing! I've got it in a dark room, but even with the lights on, where the 1070 would have been a little washed out, the 4550i shined (pardon the pun). First watches were Extraction 2 and Fast X. Both just like being in the theater. Only con so far is that it does take a bit of time to up-convert with my Roku to get to the main Roku screen, but otherwise no issues. Using a 106" screen, with the mount being about 10 feet away on ceiling. Highly recommend this projector. Just looking forward to many movie nights and football weekends in the theater. Oh, if you are building out a new theater, I highly recommend the color tri-corn black (with the Benq ht4550i). You won't be sorry. (Review From BenQ.com)
