Here at BenQ we don’t just make display devices that help people enjoy films, TV shows, and much more, we also love watching such content ourselves. Who doesn’t? There’s so much to choose from now, with many streaming services and of course Blu-ray discs for those who prefer physical copies. We decided to pool together our regular content recommendations and put them here in this portal, which covers releases new and old. Our favorite way to watch content now is in 4K Ultra HD and with HDR whenever possible because that’s currently the highest-fidelity available until 8K becomes mainstream (there’s currently no content in 8K). Also, streaming services increasingly focus on 4K material, which is great, because the higher the resolution, the better for people who enjoy big-screen home cinema.
What You Need for Your Setup
To enjoy movies and TV shows in the best possible way, which is 4K HDR if available, there are several components to keep in mind. Of course, the first one is a true 4K HDR home cinema projector. That means a projector with real 3840 x 2160 output or 8.3 million pixels. And the brightness to support HDR, or high dynamic range. Once you have such a projector, we recommend getting a good screen for the optimal experience. Certainly, you can project onto a wall, but it’s not the same. By the way, if you prefer a 4K TV we don’t mind, and please feel free to still visit this portal. But we do think projectors are more appropriate for that genuine big screen, cinematic feeling.
You should also get a dedicated 4K HDR Blu-ray player from a reliable brand. While game consoles like Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PS5 have 4K ultra HD Blu-ray drives, they’re not as capable as dedicated players. A dedicated player also offers the benefit of accurately upscaling 1080p Blu-rays and to some extent even 480p DVDs. The latter won’t look anywhere as good as the former, but will still appear respectable even on a very large screen.
All you need then is to finish up your viewing environment with comfortable seating and accoutrements like a popcorn maker or soda machine. Take a look at this how-to from Apartment Guide for lots of useful info on all that.
