The colors are saturated, the peaks are distinct and bright. The LED lamp neutralizes the rainbow effect and other DLP negatives but might cause some spectrum irrelevance at displaying the various types of content.

Reds, cyans, yellow colors are spot-on, with a bit oversaturated greens.

The image quality is the main concern in the Vankyo Leisure 510 Full HD projector review. While the device can display 2 million pixels, the Full HD content does feature some slight blurs and less detail in the dark shades. With the 780p, things go differently. High brightness and sharp contours create the dynamic contrast resulting in the natural and saturated colors. The color gamut is full, covering the multiple hues and providing the deep uniform blacks and greys and solid warm whites.
The picture quality depends highly on the ambient light. The detailed and colorful picture is supported in the dark and semi-lit environment, while at daylight, the colors seem washed out and the contours feature a halo.
Fan operation might be audible during the quiet scenes while mostly, the sound is rather low. The speaker’s performance is consistent, the volume can be wound up quite high and the dialogs are distinct. The projector can be connected to various devices including wireless ones and serve as a streaming gadget.

The 2D picture parameters can be varied between five color modes (including the ViewMatch sRGB one) while the 3D has a single color preset. The dark room performance provides the most of the color saturation while the Standard mode looks the most natural in a slightly lit room.
The projector is easy to install and control. It retains a sharp rectangular form and can be placed almost anywhere. The response is high making the dynamic gaming enjoyable.

The BenQ HT3550 projector provides an opportunity to enjoy the multimedia in 4K format with a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels. The device is good a one for a night movie show in the backyard or even a business showcase demonstration. It is a really good option since it is small (14.9 x 5 x 10.3 inches), lightweight (9.3 pounds), reproduces a bright image and has inbuilt stereo speakers (10W). The manufacturer enhanced the projector with a 3-year limited warranty, so check out the BenQ HT3550 review and make sure it meets your requirements.
The projector has a traditional design with a lens offset to the right edge of the front side. The lens hole has a square shape, covered by a partition about a third below, which prevents excess light from entering the room during ceiling mounting. Despite the rather soiled color, there are no fingerprints left on the projector; the user can clean its surface in a case of need using a damp cloth. All the manual controllers are placed on the top of the projector; you can control its program support and lens peculiarities. There is a connection point on the rear side of the BenQ HT3550 4K UHD projector. Here you can find 2 HDMI ports that support HDCP 2.2, as well as an audio output, a USB 3.0 port for a media reader, and a classic USB port for streaming units excitation. The projector comes with a remote control that is easy to control not only due to the minimal number of buttons but also because of the backlighting. You can find power controls and several image settings at the top of the remote control.
The projector is able to produce brightness up to 2000 lumens. It’s better to create the home theater conditions in the room but a little light will not spoil the experience of use and will not make the picture dimmer. The HT3550 BenQ provides a 30000:1 contrast ratio and the result is a high-dynamic image. Although blacks are not as deep as, let us say, on an OLED TV has, but the balance between blacks and whites allows a decent level of contrast getting. The projector supports 1080p 3D and the HDR standard Hybrid Log Gamma for streaming services and TV broadcasts. Special 4K Motion Enhancer mode performs frame interpolation, but it is disabled by default.
The manufacturer supplemented its product with calibrated color accuracy, so there’s no need to perform such a procedure manually. It’s better to install the BenQ HT3550 on a small desk, thus, you’ll get a possibility to get a fully balanced image. The device’s wide brightness range at various settings makes it suitable for a large range of screen sizes and background lighting levels. There are a lot of various picture modes, so the user has the possibility to choose the best option, which suits a specific situation (a movie watching in a home theater, the presentation demonstration in a class, etc.). The device sounds rather loud, especially in small rooms. Pay attention that the unit’s fan makes some noise, but it is not too loud, it is easy to forget about it when using the speakers actively. I definitely like that movies at a frame rate of 24 are displayed correctly with optimal frequency conversion, reducing unwanted vibration.
