By extension of that last point, the BenQ TH685 is also not the best at contrast or color performance.
Gamers are increasingly embracing projectors too, unable to resist the lure of immersing themselves in life-sized versions of the life-like graphics now being delivered by the latest games consoles and PCs. It is a cheaper solution recommended for in-home use, where projection quality and reliability are not as crucial.The extra pixels let you shift the picture up or down from the center position by 5 percent of the image height, as a convenient way to position the image for your screen. I'm so new to projectors and I think I have some longstanding preconceptions about their limitations which could be out of date. During the fight scene between Ant-Man and Yellowjacket in the briefcase, there was good depth to the image with only a slight bit of blur on fast motion. It also handled shadow detail well enough to make out what was happening in the most challenging dark scenes in our test suite, even in a room with moderate ambient light doing its best to wash out the image.
As a pleasant surprise, it also delivers far more robust audio than you would expect from its onboard 5-watt mono speaker, thanks to the chamber design. But the TH685 is certainly more satisfying – if, inevitably, no replacement at all for a half-decent soundbar or external sound system – than most budget projector sound systems are.Like most of its direct competitors, the TH685 has several settings for fine-tuning the image range: general brightness, contrast, and gamma adjustments, plus a color management system for adjusting hue, saturation, and gain separately for each primary and secondary color. The BenQ TH685i has seven different SDR picture modes—Bright, Living Room (which is its default), Cinema, Sports, Game, User 1, and User 2. This experience is certainly helped by the fact you don't feel aware of any lag while running, driving or shooting your way around a game landscape. He's also written for GamesRadar+, Official Xbox Magazine, PC Gamer and other outlets over the last decade, and he has a degree in computer science he's not using if anyone wants it. They can both be a bit fiddly to get right—the focus more so than the zoom, which has a tab on it that can be guided more easily with a finger.
As usual for the TH685’s level of the market, there’s no optical image shifting to help you get the projector’s pictures into the right place on your wall or, ideally, screen.LIVING ROOM : APPLE 4K TV, PANASONIC UB9000, LG 65C9, WIIM PRO, DSPEAKER ANTIMODE, GUSTARD DAC X26 PRO, AUDIOLAB 8300MB, Q ACOUSTICS CONCEPT 500. ports situated next to one another and directed straight out of the back as is found on almost every projector, one has been moved behind a plastic cover (along with a mini USB power connector) and dedicated as the media streaming port for the included QS01 HDMI dongle.
