Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Der BenQ TH575i ist ein heller Full-HD-Lampenbeamer mit Google-TV-Stick, der für Konsolenspiele und Sport bei Restlicht taugt. Mit 16,7 ms Input Lag reagiert er schneller als die meisten Beamer, statt 3.800 liefert er in den Filmmodi rund 2.000 Lumen. Der Haken: kein Lens Shift, kaum Zoom – er muss mittig stehen oder an der Decke hängen, und der Lüfter rauscht hörbar.
Pros
- 16,7 ms Input Lag bei 1080p und 60 Hz, gut für Konsolenspiele
- Rund 2.000 Lumen in den Filmmodi, Modus Hell über 2.700
- Gemessener Kontrast 1.600:1 bis 2.245:1, ordentlich für Lampenbeamer
- Google-TV-Stick mit offizieller Netflix-, Prime- und Disney+-App
- Scharfes Bild ohne Farbsäume, fein abgestufter Fokusring
- Lampe hält 6.000 h im Normal- und bis 15.000 h im Sparmodus
Cons
- Kein Lens Shift, keine seitliche Trapezkorrektur, Zoom nur 1,1-fach
- Lüfter mit rund 40 dB in 1 m Abstand, hörbar in leisen Szenen
- Nur ein freier HDMI-1.4-Eingang, kein eARC, kein 4K oder HDR
- 10-W-Mono-Lautsprecher verzerrt bei Actionfilm-Lautstärke
- Farben ab Werk übersättigt, erst nach Korrektur im Menü stimmig
Der Epson EH-TW7100 ist ein heller 3LCD-Beamer mit Pixel-Shift-4K für Wohnzimmer mit etwas Restlicht. Rund 2.375 ANSI-Lumen und viel Spielraum durch Zoom und Lens-Shift machen ihn alltagstauglich, Apps brauchen aber einen Streaming-Stick. Der Haken: In Nachtszenen wirkt Schwarz grau, und im hellen Modus ist der Lüfter deutlich zu hören.
Pros
- Rund 2.375 ANSI-Lumen reichen für 100 Zoll bei etwas Restlicht
- Lens-Shift 60 % vertikal und 24 % horizontal, Zoom 1,62x
- 3LCD ohne Regenbogeneffekt, Farben so hell wie Weiß
- Bildmodi ab Werk brauchbar abgestimmt, kaum Kalibrierung nötig
- Im Eco-Modus leiser Betrieb
- Bluetooth-Tonausgabe mit aptX HD an Soundbar oder Kopfhörer
Cons
- Nativer Kontrast nur etwa 2.055:1, Schwarz wirkt in Nachtszenen grau
- Lüfter im hellen Modus mit über 50 dB gut hörbar
- Kein Smart-System und kein WLAN, Netflix nur per Streaming-Stick
- UHP-Lampe hält 3.500 Stunden, danach Lampenwechsel fällig
- Groß und schwer mit 6,9 kg, Lautsprecher für Filme zu schwach
