Our Review

The BenQ HT2060 proves you don't need 4K for a great home theater experience. Its 1080p DLP engine with HDR10 and HLG support produces a sharp, color-accurate image that fills a 120" screen beautifully. BenQ's CinematicColor technology covers 96% of Rec.709 for film-accurate colors, and 2,300 lumens handles moderately lit rooms. Lens shift and 1.3x zoom provide flexible placement. At under $700, it's the best entry into dedicated home theater projection.
