All-New BenQ Home Projectors Produce Cinematic HDR Picture Quality to Surpass All Expectations
Room-Optimized 4K Home Cinema Line-up Offers World-Leading HDR-PRO™ Visual Quality and Android TV with Netflix
COSTA MESA, Calif., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BenQ, the leading DLP 4K projector brand, today introduced four all-new home cinema projectors, each optimized to deliver unprecedented levels of cinematic quality in different at-home settings.
The HT4550i, HT3560, TK860i, and V5000i centrally feature pioneering BenQ HDR-PRO projector-optimized high dynamic range techniques, including Local Contrast Enhancement, to reveal fine details in difficult bright or dark scenes. They also deliver ideally balanced brightness in situations ranging from dedicated AV rooms to daytime living rooms, for professional-standard color gamut performance up to future-generation BT. 2020.
"Our new projectors far surpass today's boundaries of resolution, color gamut, and dynamic range for the ultimate in cinematic HDR movie experiences," said Houston Wei, senior director of BenQ North America. "Combining true 4K resolution, CinematicColor™-powered coverage beyond Rec.709 to DCI-P3 and BT.2020, and newly enhanced HDR-PRO technology, these new home projectors outshine the competition with certified Android TV and native Netflix for endless entertainment."
Beyond HDR Quality with BenQ HDR-PRO
The next evolution of BenQ-proprietary HDR-PRO technology imbues the HDR10+ / HDR10 / HLG content with magnificent depth, revealing previously hidden cinematic details in both bright and dark scenes. HDR-PRO enhances the projectors' overall dynamic range with industry-leading Local Contrast Enhancement and optimal HDR Tone Mapping, enabling perfect details in shadows and highlights for better stereo perception. The Local Contrast Enhancement is a cutting-edge algorithm that divides each scene into 1000+ zones and optimizes each zone's gamma independently. Local Contrast Enhancer preserves fine details in bright regions as well as shadowy areas of the screen.
