The BenQ W5850 is the bolder of the two. It’s built around a blue core laser light source capable of pushing 2600 ANSI lumens (or 2100 lumens when calibrated to 100% DCI-P3), with a lifespan stretching up to 30,000 hours. This projector can throw an ultra-sharp 200-inch 4K UHD image with 8.3 million pixels, rich color depth, and cinematic contrast thanks to a FOFO contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. It supports 100% DCI-P3 and Rec.709 color gamuts with BenQ’s CinematicColor calibration engine, aiming for a true-to-source experience.
The W4100i uses a 4LED light engine offering up to 3200 ANSI lumens and boasts an Android TV dongle certified by Google, bringing Netflix, Prime Video, and other streaming apps natively onboard. The projector supports wireless casting via AirPlay and Google Cast, and its smart AI Cinema mode adjusts picture settings automatically based on content type and ambient lighting.
Despite its smaller footprint, the W4100i still goes big on visuals. It retains the same 4K UHD resolution, full HDR support including HDR10+, HLG, and FILMMAKER MODE, plus a low 6.5ms latency at 1080p 240Hz. It even throws in a built-in 5W speaker, though serious users will still want to rely on external audio for the best results.
The W5850 is priced at ₹7,00,000, while the W4100i costs ₹4,00,000. Both are available through BenQ’s authorized AVSI retail partners across India starting this month.
