BenQ CinePrime HT5550 HDR 4K UHD Home Theater Projector

CinematicColor technology uses 100% of the DCI-P3 color space to produce film-like texture and display your movies as the directors originally envisioned.

This technology is designed to perform precision color rendition to produce lifelike colors automatically tuned to reflect nature when viewing DCI-P3 4K Blu-ray movies.

The HT5550 is tested and adjusted for D65 color temperature, gamma, black level, white level, neutral gray, RGBCMY color tracking, hue, saturation, brightness, and output based on DCI-P3 and Rec.709. The data from multiple interfaces is compiled for individual factory calibration reports to meet Rec.709 and Delta E<3 performance.

By incorporating the Imaging Science Foundation’s ISFccc Certified Visual Calibration, the image and color performance can be customized for nearly any space, along with pre-set light balance modes for day and night.

Optimized for projection, HDR-PRO technology is engineered to enhance the 4K HDR viewing experience. Using enhanced tone mapping, HDR-PRO provides a broad contrast range to bring out more detail from 4K Blu-rays and streaming content.

BenQ Enhanced Tone-Mapping uses Active Iris and Dynamic Black technology to help increase the perceived contrast ratio so you can see dark details more clearly. Dynamic Black analyzes a scene’s brightness levels to help optimize the light output and contrast, bringing out details in shadows and preventing bright scenes from washout.

HDR brightness optimization helps keep the ideal contrast when projecting different image sizes and against various screen gains most commonly used in home theater to help ensure a greater contrast range and enhanced image quality when HDR Mode is activated.

HDR-PRO technology is powered by the support of the HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) HDR formats for enhanced visuals from a variety of sources.

To achieve a personalized home cinema experience, the HT5550 features optimized movie modes that are tailored to help provide authentic cinematic colors in a variety of environments.

• D.Cinema Mode is designed to provide wide-ranging colors and subtle details in movies that use 100% of the Rec.709 color gamut for enhanced 4K SDR in dark A/V rooms.
• HDR Mode (with Wide Color Gamut enabled) helps provide high dynamic contrast and true color reproduction based on HDR-PRO technology and up to 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut for 4K HDR Blu-rays and streaming HLG content in dark A/V room settings.
• Cinema Mode offers heightened brightness to reproduce 100% Rec.709 color accuracy to help you enjoy 1080p movies in rooms with high ambient brightness.
• HDR Mode is designed for watching 4K HDR Blu-rays and streaming HLG content based on Rec.709 and HDR-PRO technology in higher brightness environments.

To enjoy your movie the way the director intended, the HT5550 supports 24 fps (frames per second) playback, which can accept HD sources without judder in HDR mode to help preserve the purity of the original image, so your 4K movies can be displayed at the correct cadence without the need for pulldowns, which can distort the playback of the source video.

The 11-element lens array is structured into six groups with metal barrel and cell framework to provide enhanced light penetration for long-lasting intensity with augmented color performance, clarity, and sharpness across the entire screen.

With its single-DMD design to help avoid the alignment issues that arise in multi-panel systems, the HT5550 provides sharp images and accurate colors devoid of artifacts, blur, shadowing, and interference patterns.

The optical system in the HT5550 uses low-dispersion lens coatings to help minimize chromatic aberrations for clear images.

This feature uses video-enhancing technologies to help please even critical movie enthusiasts.

The 4K Pixel Enhancer is a motion-adaptive, edge-enhancement feature designed to detect changes in color between an object and its background to help produce sharp edges and precise surface textures.

The Motion Enhancer inserts 36 interpolated frames between sequences to help produce seamless 60 fps videos, eliminating laggy images, jittery playback, and blurry shadows.

The Color Enhancer is designed to modulate complex color algorithms to flawlessly render saturated colors, fine gradients, intermediate hues, and subtle pigments.

The Flesh Tone feature helps prevent discoloration of skin tones from the light of the projection beam, portraying skin tones naturally.

The dustproof design of the HT5550 helps prevent light leakage to reduce distractions.

The patterned lens ring and rearward tilt help to further prevent light leakage.

The anti-accumulation lens hood reduces the likelihood of falling dust gathering in the projector. The vertical air intake louver also helps prevent dust from getting into the cooling system.

The HT5550 features 1.6x zoom with horizontal and vertical lens shift to help provide hassle-free installation.
