BenQ HT2150ST: Sharp Image and Impressive Lamp Hours

BenQ HT2150ST

Due to this BenQ HT2150ST review, you can get acquainted with the decent projector that has 2.200 lumens with the use of a 240W lamp. Such a peculiarity produces a deep picture with bright and realistic colors. It’s possible to choose the best mode for the content (Bright, Vivid, Cinema, Game, User’s modes) while the Game mode is set by the default. The device has only 1 HDMI, 1 Audio out, and 1 USB, but these connectors work seamlessly and are enough for everyday usage.

Setup

The manufacturer complemented the BenQ HT2150ST with the particular setup feature without the pronning to misalignment, so the user won’t have to worry about the sharpness lowering and color quality deterioration. Vertical and horizontal keystone is regarded as a pleasant bonus for easy installation. The setup process is trouble-free as after turning the device on, you have to choose among the presented projector’s positions, pick up the language, the keystone, choose the auto source and menu type. Follow the on-screen guide and find the detailed data in the manual.

Features

The BenQ HT2150ST projector presents a really sharp image with vibrant colors. Due to the Short Throw feature, you can place the device not far from the screen and get really clear image without hindrances and unrealistic colors, which is useful for gaming. The fan isn’t audible during the work. Moreover, you can use the Eco mode in order to save on lamp hours (its reserve is 3500 (Normal mode) / 5000 (Economic mode) / 7000 (Eco mode). I really like the remote as the buttons react immediately without delays. Bring to notice that it supports 3D 1080p content, but the 3D glasses don’t come with the device. Anyway, the 3D picture is really rich and colorful, which provides the full immersion. The BenQ HT2150ST throw distance is very low, as it allows 100-inch screen projecting from just 3 feet. The device is amended by a 1.2:1 zoom that is a good peculiarity, but it doesn’t have horizontal lens shifting that is not really comfortable for projector positioning.

Design

The BenQ HT2150ST specs are spectacular, but its design is even more impressive. With a size 4.8 x 15 x 10.9 inches‎ and 7.93 pounds the projector is compact enough to be carried around. This medium-sized unit has a rather high body frame of white glossy plastic. The lens is located on the front side and next to it there is the barely visible infrared receiver. Its focus ring has a soft and smooth motion, without backlash, moreover, it’s easy to focus on sharpness with its help. The control panel keys, as well as the projection adjustment knobs (focus, optical zoom, and horizontal keystone correction) and source selection button, are installed on top of the device. There is also a sliding door for the lens and almost an invisible IR sensor for remote control. Big air vents make the condition for temperature control.

Conclusion

Such a unit is a great solution for those who prefer solid quality devices with modern features and without any compromises. The device provides the user with a good color balance, enough brightness, low noise, and smooth comfortable to use remote. The BenQ HT2150ST various modes bring the possibility to enjoy the different picture variants and choose the most decent.
