BenQ, a global innovator in display technology solutions, announced the India debut of its most advanced home cinema projectors to date—the W5850 and W4100i—at the Smart Home Expo 2025 in Mumbai. These new additions marked a significant leap forward in Solid-State Illumination (SSI) and cinematic fidelity, reinforcing BenQ’s leadership in redefining how Indian consumers experience movies, entertainment, and immersive content at home.
With the launch of the W Series, BenQ not only introduced new products but also set a new benchmark in home entertainment, blending professional-grade visual precision with intuitive, user-centric design. At a time when home theatres were increasingly becoming cultural hubs for storytelling and shared experiences, BenQ’s innovations addressed the evolving needs of cinephiles, creators, and design-conscious AV integrators.
Future-Proofing Home Entertainment
The W5850, designed for theatre-scale viewing, delivered unparalleled scale and clarity, capable of projecting a 200-inch image with ultra-precise colour and contrast, finely tuned for premium darkroom environments. It featured a digital four-way lens shift, 1.6x motorized zoom, and a powerful 2600-lumen blue core laser, enabling projection of a massive 180-inch screen from just 4 meters away.
Meanwhile, the W4100i redefined everyday entertainment with 3200 ANSI lumens of high brightness, a 4-LED light source, and built-in Android TV. It enhanced visual performance in real-time, intelligently adapting to content and ambient conditions through its AI Cinema Mode.
Both models came equipped with BenQ’s proprietary CinematicColor™ technology (achieving 100% DCI-P3 coverage) and HDR-PRO™ features, significantly elevating colour precision, contrast detail, and HDR format compatibility—including HDR10+ and HLG. With Dolby Atmos pass-through, eARC, and an ultra-low 17.9ms latency, the projectors offered a fully immersive AV experience, suited for everything from high-octane action films and gaming to nuanced cinematic storytelling.
A Vision Beyond Hardware
Commenting on the launch, Rajeev Singh, Managing Director – BenQ India & South Asia, said:
“With the W5850 and W4100i, we enabled the next chapter of cinematic expression in Indian homes. Whether in dedicated home theatres or curated living room setups, audiences today expect more authenticity and immersion from their content experiences. BenQ’s commitment was clear: to make commercial-grade cinema technology accessible, seamless, and future-ready. Our strength lies in offering a complete ecosystem—from design-led install flexibility to calibrated colour accuracy—aligned with how people consume and create content today.”
