Excellent and does everything well including black levels with setting adjustment below.

So here is the story I am waiting for a replacement from Amazon because I believe it was manhandled during shipping and screwed up the fan(s). happens.Now about this excellent projector. First thing first the black levels are very good on this projector for a projector. You need to run it in smart eco mode and you get great contrast and it's quiet. I know because I had the epson 5050UB and I ran gravity on both in 4k and 3D and they looked almost the same. Maybe the 5050 had slightly better blacks but the 4550i still has great blacks and better highlights and color. I have an oled E6 so i know black levels and 3D. It is also very good at intermittent black detail. Motion is super smooth on this projector and 3D is very good. Sharpness is a standout and it is noticeably sharper then the epson 5050Ub. It is a bright projector and in bright cinema mode it still looks great with some lights on. Now I must say the epson 5050UB is a great projector but unlike the benq, which uses led rated at 20,000 hours, the epson used a bulb rated at 3000 hours and must be changed. This is a very modern projector and you can see it in design,lighting system, and menu system. It is relatively compact and will Def fit into my blacked out cinema room.

Good at first but then malfunctioning issues and shoddy support
By J E Dalton on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2019
Disclaimer: This is my first projector but I am very impressed overall. I was at one time planning on shelling out close to 3k for the Epsom 5050 (which does look amazing) but then I realized I had planned my home theater room without a huge throw distance from projector to screen (just under 9 feet) and I was hoping to use a 110" screen. My fears that the Epsom might not quite have the throw ratio I needed led me to look at this BenQ and I'm glad I did. This BenQ isn't what they call a short throw projector but it does have a more generous throw ratio than most other regular home cinema projectors. I'm pleased to say that the picture is stunning and the price saving enabled me to invest in a better amp and speakers for the room. I bought a Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player (UB 420) and it looks stunning in both 4k and 3D. It will make you want to stock up on 3D movies. I have a dark dedicated home theater in a basement and I can imagine this could struggle in a room with natural light. They also say this isn't a great projector for gaming but I have hooked up my PS4 to it and had a great experience. To be fair, I'm not an online gamer where I suppose the input lag could be detrimental. However, for "local" gaming (1 player campaign/story or multiplayer split-screen) I don't notice any lag at all, just a big beautiful image. It has a very nice backlit remote too. I have had a few moments where I have had some glitches from the 4K Blu Ray signal and had to restart the projector but that has been my only negative. This issue might be unique to my individual unit though. Overall, I love it and I know you will too if you have a dark room, especially for the price.Update: I have since had several problems, first with my original unit and then with a replacement. Now Benq aren't answering support calls or responding to emails. I know we are in the midst of a pandemic but this still isn't good enough for such a big company. I've lost all faith in the brand. Stay away!
