Review on BenQ HT2150ST 1080P Short Throw Projector: Enhanced Color Accuracy, Low Input Lag, Ideal for Gaming and Streaming Netflix & Prime Video - White by Brian Finley

I first bought an Optoma GT1080Darbee and although it said it had 3000 lumens it only had 3000 lumens WHITE. The colors were dull and dark. So I researched further and it seems the projector manufacturers are increasing the WHITE output so they can claim X maximum lumens, but in fact their actual COLOR lumen output is much lower than advertised. The Optoma I bought, for example, only had about 800 lumens of color flowers - the claimed "3000 lumens" is just pure white light, which is great for use as a business projector or flash I think, but terrible for Theater and games gives blurred picture as I have experienced. NOW THEN I switched to this BenQ HT2150St. NO MATTER. Even though a lower max. At just 2200 lumens, to my untrained eye the COLOR lumen output was probably actually close to 100% of what was advertised. Although the BenQ's specs say 2200 lumens compared to the Optoma's whopping 3000 lumens, the BenQ is actually MUCH BRIGHTER and brighter and brighter than the Optoma. Damn the insidious corporations and their insidious methods. In addition to the visual quality, the response time/input lag is also excellent! On this front, Optoma and BenQ performed similarly. Combine this little device with a light-canceling ceiling screen and you can watch what's happening day or night!
