Benq 3d Projector

Ifthe projector you mention, does have Arc/eARC support, rather than just normal HDMI ports, then you should be fine to follow the diagram I posted above anyway and simply skip the HDFury Arcana.. but I could not find an Arc/eARC port in the articles I read through quickly.

A new question to resolve... How do I control my projector power and volume control with the fire TV stick remote, rather than always just using the Sonos app for controlling sound? I thought this was the purpose of HDMI ARC capabilities to allow sound to be controlled with a television remote control. Is this possible, based on the setup that we've discussed so far?

That may well be helpful Bruce. Maybe whatever I have vaguely remembered doesn't apply with a projector that has an HDMI ARC output, which I think is still fairly rare. Or maybe it's needed for CEC, which may not be on a projector.

I could not get myself to believe until late night that the HDMI cable would be the problem. After all, I had all of this installed by a professional company who charged me almost 200 usd for the installation itself how could they make such a silly mistake especially since I specified the speaker Arc setup.

eARC requires higher bandwidth cables and bandwidth decreases with length. 10m requires very high quality cables. Price alone will not predict success. The cable manufacturer needs to have good quality control.

This is a relatively low budget projector, and one of the main drawbacks is the pretty loud fan. Anybody opened one of these? I'm curious what size the fan is, and whether I could replace it with something quieter and potentially more performant, like one of those smaller Noctua fans (I believe they're part of the Industrial series).

I've only had it for a few months, and with just a few (200ish) hours of playtime, it's getting considerably louder. I could send it in service for a good scrubbing, this should be covered by the warranty, or I could convince them to do it, but they will return it with the same bad fan and I will have the same problem over and over again, so I'm thinking fan swap and filter.

The BenQ HT3560 is one the company's newest versions of their highly successful line of UHP lamp-based home theater projectors and a direct successor to models like the TK850i and the HT3550. The new HT3560 is almost identical to the company's previous model, the HT3550, which we have reviewed here at Projector Reviews. Using a Texas Instruments, pixel shifting 0.47" DMD DLP system that displays a 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160p) on screen.

The HT3560 is an evolutionary rather than revolutionary update to the HT3550. The BenQ HT3560 shares a remarkably similar design, feature set, and performance to its highly regarded 2021 predecessor. BenQ has added support for HDR10+, an open-source alternative to Dolby Vision HDR that performs similarly. The HT3560 supports BenQ technologies like HDR-PRO and Dynamic Black to help create a cinema-grade experience in your home.

A lot has changed in the projection industry over the last two years, with newer, more affordable, and higher-quality laser and LED light sources now available that can outperform lamp-based projectors.

But lamp-based projectors are far from going the way of the Dodo. BenQ is one of the world's biggest proponents and developers of high-output LED light sources. Yet, the company still produces a significant portion of its home theater, gaming, and cinema projectors powered by ultra-high performance lamps, and there are good reasons why.

Right before the holidays, BenQ sent us several new projectors to evaluate. Each projector's feature set is designed to appeal to a specific type of projector customer. The HT3560 targets value-conscious home theater enthusiasts who care about good black levels and accurate color reproduction.

The HT3560 is one of BenQ's latest series of affordable 4K home theater projectors. The HT3560 may be in the entry-level range of 4K projectors, but it is a good quality 4K home theater with an incredibly good image. Those readers familiar with BenQ models like the HT3550 and 3550i, as well as the non-smart version of this projector, the TK850, will see a very familiar-looking projector with a similar feature set with incremental improvements.

Some BenQ projectors use native 1,920 x 1,080 DMD devices that produce a Full HD displayed image with no pixel shifting, like the BenQ HT2060 that I recently reviewed. BenQ also makes projectors that produce a Full HD displayed image from a DMD device with a lower mirror count using pixel-shifting technologies like XPR.

Currently, there are no consumer single-chip DLP projectors with native 4K DMD devices available. But if there were, and that day is coming, they would be far more expensive than their pixel-shifting counterparts.

Search the internet, and you can find countless websites, forums, and articles discussing native vs. pixels shifting DLP DMDs and whether you can see a difference between the two types of Digital Micromirror Devices and why one is better or worse. A DMD device, native or not, is not the only component or technology in a video projector that creates what the human brain translates as detail, noise, or picture quality.

The HT3560 is a 4K home cinema projector powered by BenQ's exclusive CinematicColor and HDR-PRO technologies designed for AV content fanatics and movie enthusiasts with 4K image quality and cinematic color reproduction.

The HT3560's HDR support also allows BenQ to offer a FILMMAKER mode as a picture preset option on the projector. By turning off all image enhancement by post-processing and preserving the correct aspect ratios, colors, and frame rates, FILMMAKER mode enables projectors to display the movie and streaming content precisely as the filmmaker intended.

Whether watching movies or television shows, BenQ's exclusive CinematicColor and HDR-PRO technologies should provide accurate color reproduction and an exceptional range of brightness in both bright and dark scenes. This bright and dark balance is accomplished by leveraging BenQ's enhanced HDR tone mapping via the company's DYNAMIC BLACK technology to increase contrast and dynamic range in HDR mode.

In today's 4K environment, most 4K content, such as Blu-rays and streaming movies, are produced and mastered in High Dynamic Range (HDR) and DCI- P3, a wide color gamut standard defined by Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) for professional digital cinemas.

BenQ has packed the HT3560 with many of the company's best image enhancement and processing technologies designed to improve the displayed image in a wide range of content. With the WIDE COLOR GAMUT option enabled in HDR mode, BenQ's Local Contrast Enhancer divides video content into different zones, allowing it to dim the dark parts of the screen without affecting the bright areas.

Contrast enhancement can bring out lifelike colors and greater detail in bright and shadowy areas on your 4K big screen, resulting in a great-looking image, especially when watching movies, especially in the dark. The company has also developed and deployed custom algorithms designed to improve a range of video elements.

Pixel enhancement is designed to enhance image clarity and sharpness by addressing issues related to the display of individual pixels. BenQ motion-adaptive edge enhancement detects color changes between objects and backgrounds to produce sharp edges and precise surface textures. Pixel enhancement uses algorithms that analyze and optimize the appearance of pixels, resulting in a wide range of improvements, including sharpening edges, improving contrast, or addressing other factors that influence the perceived quality of the image.

BenQ motion enhancement inserts 36 interpolated frames between sequences to produce seamless, vivid 60 frames-per-second videos. Motion Enhancer eliminates laggy images, jittery playback, and blurry shadows, which can occur during fast-paced scenes in movies, sports, or video games. BenQ algorithms interpolate frames or adjust the display to reduce the perceived motion artifacts.

BenQ flesh tone enhancement provides a smart hue adjustment for only calibrating people's skin color, not other colors in the image. It prevents discoloration of skin tones from the light of the projection beam, portraying every skin tone in its most beautiful shade, resulting in a more lifelike and realistic look to a range of skin tones.

Like most of the other BenQ projectors I have tested, the BenQ HT3560 has an Advanced Color Settings menu where the end-user can jump into the Color Management system to fine-tune the color adjustments. A comprehensive CMS (Color Management System) is typically not a feature offered in many lower-priced projectors. The HT3560 provides a wide range of adjustments. The projector's ACS (Advanced Color Settings) menu can adjust many image parameters, including Gamma Selection, Color Temperature Tuning, Color Management, Light Source mode, HDR Brightness, and Noise Reduction.

The lens, an ambient light sensor, and ventilation are on the projector's front panel. The right and left sides of the projector have more ventilation, and the rear is where all the inputs and connections are located.

The projector's control panel is easily accessible on the top rear of the projector. From this control panel, users can adjust settings, control all the projector's menu-based functions, and even power the projector on and off. The location and design of the control panel make it easy to operate the projector without the remote control and, if necessary, even when mounted on the ceiling.
