About this deal

And if you’re looking for a projector capable of functioning well in properly dark room conditions, the TH685 isn’t it. If you're hoping for a one-stop solution to meet both your gaming and movie needs, however, I'd suggest trying to find a bit more money for something more versatile.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.More surprisingly, the TH685 can also handle high dynamic range video – something that again has become almost universally supported on the latest PS5/ Xbox Series X video games. On the front left face of the projector you’ll find the fan that operates at a fairly quiet 50db – which is a bit more than a whisper, but not much. com are manufactured to strict standards and submitted to a high level of controls and tests relating to the projector's performance. FEATURES: Low latency Game mode; Game sound preset; 1080p/120Hz refresh rate support; 4K compatibility via downscaling; 5W mono speaker with CinemaMaster Audio+2 technology; digital vertical image shift; 15,000-hour max claimed lamp life (LampSave mode); 1. The game is a fantastic homage to the X-wing games of the '90s while still being its own experience.

For those who aren't bothered by rainbow artifacts, the BenQ TH685P offers a combination of low input lag and excellent image quality for both SDR and HDR, and even excellent built-in audio. It's more than enough for most situations, but still benefits from turning off extra lights if possible. This 120Hz performance, together with the low input lag, are enough in themselves to make the TH685 something of a gaming hero for its money, even without any true 4K support. The only issue keeping the BenQ TH685P from being an Editors' Choice pick for an entry-level gaming projector is that it shows rainbow artifacts both more often and more obviously than most current-generation DLP projectors, an issue it shares with both the TH685 it replaces and the less-expensive TH585P. com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services.For HDR testing, I used 4K discs only, since HLG content is still more of a promise than a reality at this writing. It's dressed in a crisp and glossy white finish, features calming rounded corners, and doesn't take up much space at all, being only 31cm wide and 22cm deep. So when it comes down to it, the TH685 is really just for people who need the extreme light output potential, either for a ginormous screen or if they want to leave some lights on in a room. For starters, it manages to throw the sound nicely clear of the projector’s bodywork, avoiding that ‘locked in’ sensation you get with most projector sound systems.

Maybe that Swiss Army knife has gotten you out of a few jams, but it lacks useful things like a hammer or a belt sander. There are some beautiful and colorful nebulas in the background of space that pop out, especially when a sun shines from the center of them.PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. Video gaming is currently enjoying the sort of explosion in popularity that home cinema did in the 1980s. 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.

The title sequence of Alien on 4K Blu-ray reveals this problem clearly enough for me to instantly notice it – and I'd generally only consider myself around average in terms of my susceptibility to rainbowing issues.Also like a puppy its breath is hot and its bark is loud -- when you sit too close to any projector you can feel the heat as well as hear more fan noise.

Resolution - Again, I'm not 100% convinced it's actually native 1080p, but text is very blocky and the aliasing is pretty obvious during play.
