gadgetnewsonline’ Take:
The new CinePrime HT5550 Projector enters with some extremely impressive specs. Even though BenQ notes it as a midrange entry, those who aren’t home theater enthusiasts will have a hard time seeing past the massive $2,500 price tag. In line with the company’s other offerings, the new model does fit in between some of the more entry-level and high-end projectors.
Compared to other models of projector on the market, BenQ’s latest is definitely a competitive offering. Many will find the full-coverage DCI-P3 Color Gamut to be a huge selling point, something that isn’t exactly common among projectors at this price point.
