BenQ HT3050 Overview

The HT3050 Full HD 3D DLP Home Theater Projector from BenQ delivers cinematic images with Rec. 709 color production. Rec. 709 is a color standard that showcases the projector's ability to produce life-like color saturation. This 2000 lumen projector is equipped with a DLP light engine and a 240W lamp that provides up to 3500 hours of life in normal mode and 6000 hours in SmartEco mode. The HT3050 sports a Full HD 1920 x 1080 native resolution for viewing detailed 1080p images. Furthermore, the HT3050 features a 1.15 to 1.5:1 throw ratio and can project images up to 300".

With VGA, composite video, component video, and dual HDMI inputs, this projector can accept a wide range of video sources. One of its HDMI connections supports MHL, which allows you to mirror and charge compatible devices such as smartphones. There's also a USB interface on-board that can power USB-powered devices such as portable streaming players. The HT3050 also incorporates two 10W speakers for stereo audio playback, 15,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 1.3x optical zoom.

Rec. 709 Standard for Authentic Cinematic Color
Rec.709 is the international High-Definition standard that certifies that display devices can reproduce a cinematic color palette. Using a 6x-speed RGBRGB color wheel with custom segment angles and coatings, the HT3050 achieves Rec. 709 cinematic color reproduction, delivering precise Hollywood Studio color right out-of-the box.
Software Optimization
To maximize color accuracy, this projector's software optimization involved adjusting the blacks, whites, and grays towards the D65 standard defined by Rec. 709. Furthermore, the three primary and secondary colors were adjusted one by one, until they were as close as possible to the references on the Rec. 709 color gamut.
Six-Segment Color Wheel
The six-segment color wheel in this projector has been re-engineered with 6x speed to maximize color and depth.
CineMaster Audio
Featuring CinemaMaster audio, powered by MaxxAudio technology, the HT3050 delivers 20W of cinema-quality sound. Two acoustically balanced drivers are encased in resonant chambers inside the projector to deliver vibrant, rich, and full-range sound using Wave Audio algorithms.
Independent 3D Color Control for All 6 Primary Colors
BenQ's color management tool allows users to independently fine-tune the gain, saturation, and hue of six primary colors (R/G/B/C/M/Y). This enables users to customize colors for life-like color reproduction.
ISFccc Certification
The HT3050 features ISFccc preset modes, enabled by professional calibrators from the Imaging Science Foundation to provide optimized Day/Night viewing.
High Fill Factor
Featuring a high fill factor, the HT3050 shines more light into each pixel, improving definition for small text and fine details, and eliminating "screen door effect".
BenQ SmartEco
SmartEco automatically adjusts lamp brightness based on content to project rich blacks and increase contrast for tiny text and subtle details.
All-Glass Optics
BenQ's all-glass optics and low-dispersion lens coatings are designed to minimize chromatic aberration, delivering sharp, crisp video to the screen.
Vertical Lens Shift Flexibility
Lens shift provides the flexibility to optically move the image on the screen to overcome minor installation miscalculations.
Side Projection with 2D Keystone
Horizontal and vertical keystone correction eliminates the trapezoid effect when the projector is placed at an indirect angle from the screen, allowing you to set the projector up in a corner or on a side table to facilitate projection in more places.
Colorific Technology
BenQ uses Colorific technology to optimize images for specific color balance effects for diverse applications such as presentations, movies, spreadsheets, and photographs. This BenQ Colorific projector generates more than one billion colors by combining up to seven different colors to create vibrant, true-to-life images.
Wall Color Correction
The Wall Color Correction feature can be used to normalize the image when projecting onto color surfaces, providing the flexibility to enjoy content in any room in the house.
