We use this projector in a small movie theater room with Chromecast or Fire Stick HDMI inputs. The picture quality is amazingly bright and crisp. The major downside is the audio output. We tried to use the 3.5 mm output jack with external speakers. The audio output is lower than a common cell phone speaker with both the projector volume and external speakers set to max. This must be a problem with the projector software or hardware as our external speakers are more than sufficient when attached to any other device.
Honestly, I can't believe that BenQ released something with such a serious flaw, and wish we had known this before purchasing our projector. Tech support suggested that we purchase additional hardware to compensate for their engineering oversight. I guess this projector should not be considered as a stand-alone piece of equipment if you actually want to hear your movies/games.

Nice sharp glass optics, and real 1920x1080 resolution. No USB, no way to power a Chromecast or Firestick.Reviewed in Canada on November 8, 2018
I am using this projector to set up a mini home theater in my office/study/guest-room. The projector is currently resting upside-down on a high shelf, projecting a 100" diagonal image to a rigid screen temporarily rigged from 1/8" white hardboard.
The projector controls are only slightly clunky, and have extensive options for tweaking the image and other settings. Quite easy to figure it all out. Pity the remote control isn't backlit, but it works very well, and is mostly only used for turning the projector on/off.
Picture quality is excellent! Under anything but the brightest conditions, it rivals a big LCD TV. Except it doesn't take up the same permanent space that a big TV would. So huge win there.
The fan noise is louder than expected. Everyone says "whisper quiet", but that's not really true. It's more like a Very Loud whisper, or a loud computer fan from 10 years ago, or a quite loud home forced-air heating system. The fan is variable speed, driven by temperature. The freer/cooler the airflow, the quieter the fan. Noise perception does vary depending on which side of the projector one is nearest: the side furthest from the projector lens is the loudest. All of that said, once a movie is playing with sound through my 5.1 speakers, the fan is quickly forgotten. But it is there.
The included power cord is short. No HDMI cable in the package, but instead they include a VGA cable {!?!?) for those who just HAVE to use modern tech with 20-year old computers. :) No USB or USB-power ports on the the projector, and no 12V accessory power either: so don't plan to use this to drive any other home theater automation. This projector also lacks automatic "power on signal" for HDMI connections, though it does have it for the VGA inputs.
The built-in single speaker is useless, and while there is a 3.5mm stereo audio output, there is no digital passthrough or SPDIF/TosLink output, so the sound has to be split away from the HDMI at the source or with an HDMI splitter. No problem for us here, as our PVR has optical out for sound.
The first attached photo shows it in a bright, partially sunlit room, with a sliver of direct sunlight on the screen.
I have tried this projector side-by-side with the similarly spec'd Optoma HD27: similar fan noise levels, similar brightness, but the Optoma remote control is horrible in every way, and that projector emits a constant high frequency whine that drove me to return it to the store after less than 10 minutes of use.
I also compared it to the incredibly cheap and feature-filled, but also very dim (200 ANSI lumens), ABOX A6, and the BenQ is obviously a LOT LOT LOT brighter, and about half the noise level of the ABOX A6.
4 stars (docked one for the noise and lack of USB). I paid CAD$580.
