BenQ 4K Projector Is First DLP UHD Home Cinema Model to Net THX HD Certification

BenQ said its HT8050 is the first DLP 4K Ultra HD home cinema projector to achieve THX HD display certification. The HT8050 projector has 8.3 million-pixel 4K resolution, and is said to ensure image integrity and color accuracy without artifacts that can be introduced by panel alignment issues. The projector’s optical system has 14 high-resolution elements, a zoom system and low-dispersion lens coatings said BenQ Tuesday. THX certification guarantees accurate reproduction of the content the way the director originally intended, it said. The HT8050 underwent 18 months of development and 200 THX laboratory tests covering more than 500 data points to ensure strict color accuracy, precise gamma, ideal color temperature, enhanced uniformity and high native contrast ratio for THX certification, said BenQ. A pre-calibrated THX Mode engineered by THX is said to offer accurate out-of-box picture quality.
