I set up the projector for a 90-inch image at 10.5 feet from the screen. Image quality with default settings is excellent for the price and more than acceptable by most folks' standards. Image detail is appropriate for the 1080p resolution, and colors are well within the range for realistic color in most picture modes. Cinema mode offers the best color accuracy and does the best job holding the subtle gradations that give closeups of rounded objects a sense of three-dimensionality. But the slightly brighter Living Room mode is not far behind, and Game mode is close behind that, albeit with slightly less saturated color. When it comes to console gaming, the TH585 has a lot to offer for each type of gaming, such as role-playing games, party games, sports games, and action games. Besides, the projector lets you enjoy multi-source entertainment, from a gaming console to a blue-ray player. The key specification: BenQ TH585 It comes with a 10W-speaker, a mono speaker, that reaches up to 70dB. Thus, it is okay for normal usage. However, for home entertainment, you’ll definitely need an external sound system. For the suggestion, go for atleast a 2.1 soundbar.
Even though these are two expensive alternatives (GT1080HDR and HD39HDR), the BenQ TH585 has a lot to offer for the price tag it carries. My Take On BenQ TH585: The Conclusion Compare All Projectors Find Your Perfect Projector Projector Lamps Accessories Refurbished Projectors Build A Game Room Since most projector comes with a three-color-segment, they can’t produce enough bright image. On the other hand, pairing the DLP chip with a yellow segment, The TH585 has the advantage of producing more vibrant yellow than the ones with a three-segment. As with the BenQ HT2150ST, the TH585 offers only one 3D picture mode and works with DLP-link glasses only. I saw no crosstalk in my tests and only minor 3D-related motion artifacts. TH585 claims a 16ms response time as a gaming projector, a considerable slow input lag for enjoying gaming on various gaming consoles, such as Nintendo, Playstation, or Xbox. Moreover, you have exclusive gaming modes to enhance your gaming experience—You can turn it On/Off as per your content.
The Technology I Use
Maximum input resolution limited to 1,920 by 1,080 for video sources, and 1,920 by 1,200 for PC connections
Somewhat surprisingly for a gaming projector, the TH585P delivers underwhelmingly low volume, both in absolute terms and for its 10-watt speaker. The audio system is suitable for a small room, but for larger rooms, or even in a small room if you want an immersive audio experience, you'll need to connect an external sound system to the audio-out port. An unusual extra at this price is support for digital vertical lens shifting. This feature takes advantage of the extra pixels on the 1,920-by-1,200 chip to let you move the image up or down from its centered position by about 5 percent of the image height. Along with the 1.1x zoom, it allows for some flexibility in positioning the projector. In addition, if you still need to tilt the projector up or down to point at the screen after adjusting the shift, a +/- 30 degree vertical keystone control allows for squaring off the image. Assessing the Color The placement of a projector is not a big thing; you can easily place it on your favorite place or ceiling mount. Though, unfortunately, you might see some projection offset while setting up the projector. As a solution, you have a remote control with a digital lens shift feature, allowing you to correct it digitally in no time. Verdict: BenQ TH585, An Entry-level powerful home theater The rated 3,500 lumens is bright enough, according to Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) recommendations, for a 270-inch-diagonal, 16:9 image using a 1.0-gain screen in a dark room, or for a 150-inch image in moderately bright ambient light. As with almost any projector, however, the modes you'll actually want to use have significantly lower brightness.
Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. For my formal tests, I used Cinema mode, with Brilliant Color set to 0, to give the best color accuracy while still being easily bright enough to fill a 90-inch screen in a dark room. In informal tests in a family room with lots of windows, Cinema mode was still bright enough to light up an 80-inch 1.0 gain white screen for nighttime viewing with lights on. Living Room mode was a little brighter, and my preferred choice for daytime viewing. For full HD 3D, the TH585P offers a single 3D picture mode and supports DLP-Link glasses. I saw no crosstalk in my tests and only a moderate level of 3D-related motion artifacts by current standards.
