# BenQ W2720i 4K HDR

**The Pick — 4K Home Cinema** — DealCoconut researched pick in Home Theater Projectors
Canonical page: https://www.dealcoconut.com/p/benq-w2720i.html

- Current price: $1,499.00 (MSRP $1,799.00)
- Known low: $1,417.00 (authorized refurb)
- Buy timing: **Fair price** — Stable pricing; authorized refurbs at ~$1,400 are the current value entry.
- Reliability: **4/5** — BenQ's lamp/LED engines have strong longevity records and the boring failure mode — gradual brightness loss over years, not sudden death. Buy from authorized dealers only: projector warranties are dealer-chain sensitive.
- Price note: reference — Newegg lists authorized refurbs at $1,417; verify new-unit pricing

**Why this pick:** The point where 4K projection gets genuinely cinematic without flagship money: factory-calibrated color, real HDR handling, and a sharp 100"+ picture that costs less per inch than any TV technology. Reviewers consistently call it the affordable 4K that looks like cinema.

**What it beat:** Budget 1080p projectors (fine for casual movie nights, visibly soft at 100"+) and $3,500+ laser flagships whose gains need a dedicated theater room to appreciate.

**Cheaper alternative:** BenQ TH575 (~$499) — the honest budget answer for occasional backyard-movie duty; or Epson Home Cinema 3800-class refurbs.

## Common questions
- Room reality check — projectors need light control; in a bright living room a Mini-LED TV beats any projector at this price.
- Total cost — add a screen (~$150–300) and think about audio: the built-in speakers are placeholders (see soundbars).
- Lamp life? — Rated ~4,000–15,000 hrs by mode: years of movie nights before brightness fades noticeably.
