Things i don't like:
1) Optical output is only outputting stereo sound. Not sure WTF BenQ was thinking here. I ended up buying a new receiver due to this. This was major let down for me and almost wanted to return this projector. But my old receiver was in need of update anyways so decided to fork the extra money for a new receiver.
2) Fan noise (when I had it on a table this was a bit loud but ever since mounting it on a wall, I've noticed that it's quieter than before).
3) Mounting - For some stupid reason, BenQ decided to not have a flat surface for the mount side so one of the screws is right next to the raised body. You can probably see it in the pics. In the end it still worked fine but for a company who's in this business for a while would have given some thought about this and made sure that the mounting side is completely flat. I used the Mount-It mount as it allowed for extension to drop the projector height.
Things I LOVE:
1) Picture quality - Hands down just amazing out of the box and I've only just watched 1080p content so far! Planning to connect 4k firestick this weekend to get an idea of how great this projector really is.
2) Has USB power port (2.5A at that) so that I can just power the firestick off that port. Works perfectly!
I really haven't played around with the different settings on the projector and frankly i'm afraid to just because it's puts out damn good image right now. Make sure to measure the distance from the lens to the wall and also the height of the projector. I think BenQ has a good calculator for this but again difficult to use. However, the best way is to just use a ladder and put the projector on it to see how the image would look. I just zoomed out the image completely and made sure that I was satisfied with the minimum image size it projected. After that I just found a good mounting spot for the projector mount between 1 to 2 feet after that spot so that I can then zoom in to get image size I wanted on the wall. I'd say go for it if you're debating to whether to get this as your first projector or not. I don't think I'd ever consider buying large TVs if a projector in that setting could also work.

The BenQ HT3550 has proven to be a worthy upgrade over the 1080p version.
Picture quality is great with one major exception, chromatic aberration. It’s the purple, blue, or green that outlines dark images next to bright images like text on a white background for example. It is quite severe on this model. If you sit far enough from the screen, greater than 1 1/2 times the width of your screen, then you won’t notice it. For those of you who sit closer you may be disappointed.
Other minor issues with the image is a tendency toward red, you’ll notice this in very dark scenes, and the inability to get a rich vibrant green (tends more sour green than a punchy green) and yellow (more orange-gold than a sunny yellow). Most won’t notice and the calibration settings at the bottom help.
Aside from that you will likely be happy with picture quality, HDR10 actually improves the image unlike other projectors (the Optoma 4K projectors are noticeably worse on HDR10 despite costing more).
The fan noise is noticeable when sitting close. It’s 40 decibels at four feet so you’ll want to sit as far away as possible. During regular viewing it isn’t distracting, only when audio is low or a scene is quiet. Use silent mode if you find it distracting.
This is a great projector for the money, you should give it a chance before considering the next step up which will cost $1,000 more for the less popular HT5550 and is likely only incrementally better.
Calibration settings:
These adjustments provided the best contrast with deepest blacks, and strong but natural colors and most importantly realistic skin tones.
BenQ Adjusts the D-Cinema settings for color but they were surprisingly flat and the darkest blacks were crushed requiring Gamma to be changed to 1.8, and contrast dialed way down. Therefore, use HDR10 whenever available for best image and if your equipment (streaming device, receiver, etc., doesn’t support it then use the same settings below under Cinema mode. If you sit close to the projector then Silent mode is also acceptable.

Top reviews from other countries
Runs a bit hot from the exhaust - so a bit worried about an all day long binge, taking breaks after a several hours for cool
Down , so far so good !
very happy with this purchase
I am very impressed by the image... it is a lot brighter and sharper than the W1070, even with non-4K sources. Also it is noticeably less noisy, especially in the Eco mode which I use.
Extremely happy so far!
Typically I find 1 star reviews are often outliers in the bunch and maybe my situation is also like that, but they sent me 2 faulty units so its tough to side with them.
The first one showed up and as soon as I turned it on there were white stripes down half of the image that would not go away. I started the return process only to find out they don't replace the unit. They only refund, so I had to buy a new unit and return the faulty one.
The current (new) unit I have also has image issues and randomly turns off and doesn't register the hdmi input on occasion. It would be less annoying if it were an obvious and easily to produce issue, but this time is random so I'm unsure of I should replace this one too..
I hesitate to say its BenQ and not just this seller because when the picture does work it looks fantastic. But otherwise this thing is a glitchy mess out of the box. I will see about going to BenQ directly and see what they say.
UPDATE: absolutely f&%* this company that sent me these. Both completely useless and defective units. I'm just glad it was able to completely crap out on me while I'm still eligible to return your garbage to you.
so for me 4.5 stars
