BenQ's HT3550i 4K projector is ready for its close-up
This home theater projector brings incredible detail but only mediocre contrast and brightness.
BenQ HT3550i
The flat and wide HT3550i is a 4K projector with impressive color and detail.
Throw
The HT3550i isn't a short-throw projector, but it has a shorter throw than many competitors, so it needs to be closer to the screen.
Lens shift
The HT3550i is one of the few projectors in its category with lens shift.
Buttons
A small door can cover the zoom and focus controls for a smoother look.
A bevy of inputs
Lots of connections: two HDMI, two USB, and even an optical out.
Backlit remote
The remote has an amber backlight and all the buttons you'd need for adjustments on the go.
Streaming stick
The HT3550i comes with a streaming stick that mounts out of sight inside the projector's case, so it doesn't take up one of the HDMI inputs.
Second remote
The streaming stick comes with its own remote.
4K projectors
Stacked for a comparison with the Optoma UHD30.
