BenQ HT4050 Overview
The HT4050 Full HD 3D DLP Home Theater Projector from BenQ offers cinematic images with audio and video enhancements, thanks to Rec. 709 color reproduction. 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 260W lamp that provides up to 2000 hours of life in normal mode and 4000 hours in SmartEco mode. The HT4050 sports a Full HD 1920 x 1080 native resolution for displaying detailed 1080p images. Furthermore, the HT4050 features a 1.15 to 1.86:1 throw ratio and can project images up to 196".
With VGA, composite video, component video, and dual HDMI inputs, this projector can accept a wide range of video sources. One if 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 for USB-powered devices such as portable streaming players. The HT4050 also
incorporates a powerful 10W speaker for audio playback, 10,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 1.6x 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 notable 6x speed RGBRGB color wheel with custom segment angles and coatings, the HT4050 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.
Motion Enhancer
Using motion enhancing technology, the BenQ HT4050 can deliver sharp and crisp fast-motion detail, by inserting up to 36 interpolated frames in between sequences to produce fluid, smooth, 60 frame-per-second video.
Color Enhancer
Color Enhancer modulates complex color algorithms to adeptly render saturated colors, fine gradients, intermediate hues, and subtle color shades.
Pixel Enhancer
Pixel Enhancer is a motion-adaptive edge enhancement feature that detects changes in color between an object and its background to produce sharp edges and precise surface textures.
Flesh Tone
The Flesh Tone feature is designed to deliver natural, life-like skin tones to the screen, enabling the HT4050 to effectively recreate the movie theater experience in the comfort of your home.
CineMaster Audio
Featuring CinemaMaster audio, powered by MaxxAudio technology, the HT4050 delivers 10W of cinema quality sound. An acoustically balanced driver encased in a resonant chamber inside the projector is designed 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 HT4050 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 HT4050 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 and Horizontal Lens Shift Flexibility
Lens shift provides the flexibility to optically move the image vertically or horizontally on the screen to overcome minor installation miscalculations. This 2D lens shift feature is designed to provide peace-of-mind knowing the projected image will land precisely over the area needed.
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.
