First Impressions
The BenQ HT3560 isnt meant to be portable as its a moderately sized projector without an integrated battery, so you need to plug it in. It has auto keystone correction, but only on the vertical axis, so you still need to center it horizontally to avoid a crooked image. It doesn't have autofocus, so you must manually adjust that to get the clearest image possible. It has two 5W speakers, so you can move it around without worrying about connecting it to speakers or a soundbar.This DLP projector uses a lamp as its light source. Depending on the selected eco mode, the lamp can last from 4,000 to about 15,000 hours, after which youll need to swap it for a new one. Its not a true 4k projector, as it uses pixel shifting to create a higher-resolution image. This offers better quality than a pure 1080p projector but isn't as good as a native 4k projector. It has a 1.3x optical zoom, letting you adjust the projection size without physically moving the projector.

Viewing Experience | The BenQ HT3560 projector delivers a satisfactory viewing experience in darker environments, where its brightness is adequate. While it struggles in moderately lit rooms, the projector's contrast performance is decent, particularly in moderately bright scenes. However, it tends to display blacks that appear more gray than true black. The projector excels in color reproduction, showcasing a wide color gamut and performing well with SDR content in the Rec. 709 color space. Nevertheless, it encounters some color mapping inaccuracies in the wider Rec. 2020 color space, particularly affecting yellow and cyan tones. Overall, the BenQ HT3560 is best suited for dark room environments, offering a pleasant viewing experience with vibrant colors, despite some limitations in brightness and contrast. |

System Experience | The BenQ HT3560 is a solid projector that prioritizes functionality over smart features. It includes two built-in 5W speakers, providing decent audio output without the need for external speakers. The inclusion of a 12v trigger out port enhances usability by allowing for automated screen control, although compatibility with specific screens is necessary for this feature to work.

The USB 2.0 port with power delivery is a practical feature, enabling users to power streaming devices conveniently. Overall, the BenQ HT3560 is a straightforward projector that caters to users looking for basic functionality without the frills of a smart OS. |
