BenQ TH685 1080p Gaming Projector with HDR and HLG, 8.3ms 1080p@120Hz Low Input Lag for Gaming, 3500 Lumens High Brightness, Enhanced Game Mode

Product Information

For a small and relatively inexpensive 1080p projector, the TH685 produces impressive color accuracy. The TH685’s digital vertical lens shift fits perfectly into any room offering a dynamic range of projection heights.

As a pleasant surprise, it also delivers far more robust audio than you would expect from its onboard 5-watt mono speaker, thanks to the chamber design. Stunning 1080p HDR graphics and 3500 ANSI Lumens of high brightness delivers intense action even in daylight. The TH685P offers five predefined, but customizable, picture modes—Bright, Living Room, Cinema, Sports, and Game—plus two User modes.

Most of my current work for PCMag is about printers and projectors, but I've covered a wide variety of other subjects—in more than 4,000 pieces, over more than 40 years—including both computer-related areas and others ranging from ape language experiments, to politics, to cosmology, to space colonies. Based on the Society for Movie and Television Engineers (SMPTE) recommendations, 3,500 lumens is bright enough to fill a 270-inch, 1. There are some beautiful and colorful nebulas in the background of space that pop out, especially when a sun shines from the center of them. It's dressed in a crisp and glossy white finish, features calming rounded corners, and doesn't take up much space at all, being only 31cm wide and 22cm deep.

com only offers Genius DIY projector bulbs for lamps allowing a straightforward and easy removal and reinstallation of a bare bulb. It is perfect for fast-paced sports, reaction-critical shooters, and timing-dependent battle arenas. If you plan on ceiling mounting the projector just be warned that the included power cable is a bit on the shorter side, but it should be enough to reach an outlet if you put it on a table. And if you need to tilt the projector up or down even after adjusting the shift, you can square off the image with the +/- 30 degree vertical keystone control. It isn't as egregious as others I've seen and would be acceptable to many viewers for non-critical viewing in ambient light.

Please note that in respect of replacement lamps for Epson projectors, the Original Inside lamp consists of a bulb made by Philips and a generic housing.
