BenQ has launched the W4000i, a 4K HD LED home theater projector, in Europe. The gadget has an LED light source with up to 3,200 lumens brightness and a 1.15 to 1.5 throw ratio. Other features include HDR-PRO, support for 24P playback and built-in speakers with Dolby Atmos. An accompanying Android TV dongle allows you to download apps from the Google Play Store.

The new BenQ W4000i 4K HDR LED Home Theater Projector is now available in the UK and EU. The DLP projector has CinematicColor technology, covering 100% of the DCI-P3 and Rec.709 color spaces. Plus, BenQ’s HDR-PRO feature supports 24P playback and HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG formats. Local Contrast Enhancer and Tone Mapping deliver a richly detailed picture with a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

The W4000i has a 1.15 to 1.5 throw ratio, and you can optimize the image with vertical and horizontal lens shifts and 1.3X zoom. Other parts include a 0.65” 4K DMD imaging device and a 4LED light source for up to 3,200 lumens brightness, allowing you to use the projector in a brighter room. The BenQ device uses an Android TV dongle, running on Android 11.0, compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi. This lets you download apps from the Google Play Store and stream content from a mobile device via Apple AirPlay or Google Chromecast.

The BenQ projector has a built-in 5 W speaker, or you can connect an external gadget via HDMI eARC, with support for Dolby Atmos. You can connect other gadgets via two USB-A interfaces and a 3.5 mm jack, and the device measures 420.5 x 135 x 312 mm (~16.54 x 5.31 x 12.28-in). You can buy the BenQ W4000i 4K projector in the UK and EU for £2,999 or €2,999 (~US$3,781). It is unclear whether or when the gadget could arrive in North America. Also recently launched was the BenQ TK860i 4K Cinematic projector.
