As soon as the image changes again, the projector immediately goes back to the brightest Eco+ level. That said, the HD27HDR is an improvement over the HD26 in all ways. In 1080p SDR mode, the colors are deeper, the contrast is better, and I don’t get the pumping that I was seeing with the HD26. There is still a bit of banding evident, but much less than before. Also, rainbow effect is much less - I used to notice it once in a while on the HD26, but have not picked it up once on the new projector. I found the ‘gray’ screen setting useful to help with making the picture optimized for my 100” ALR screen.

Optoma HD27HDR Projector Review
After peeling the protective film from the top of my new ceiling mounted HD27HDR, I inadvertently peeled a small round label from the side. Then noticed the fine print "Warranty Void if removed". I saw no instructions about care and removal of protective film, labels. Didn't notice it until the projector warmed up and caused some small bumps in the film. No warning about the small "Warranty Void" label either.
You give a very positive impression of the contrast. I was wondering how the contrast compared to more expensive units such as the Benq W2000+ or Optoma UHD51A. Like most Optoma projectors, the HD27HDR scores well for rainbow artifacts. I see these artifacts easily, and saw them only rarely with the HD27HDR.
Optoma HD27HDR Connection Panel Inputs
Optoma projectors are capable of reproducing the Rec.709 color gamut, the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate reproduction of cinematic color exactly as the director intended. The projectors can also create saturated colors, great for gaming and animated movies. ANSI LUMENSis the most commonly accepted industry standard brightness measurement. The ANSI lumen rating measures the brightest white that a projector can produce by averaging nine light meter measurements taken across the projected image. Jordan, many 3D projectors have a 2D to 3D conversion mode, but the effectiveness of this feature varies greatly with the content as well as the execution of the engineering.
The measured brightness uniformity for the test unit is 64%. This would be low for a more expensive home theater projector, but it is a touch better than typical for projectors in this price range. A close look at a solid white image shows that it is a little brighter towards the vertical center and towards the bottom, making it dimmest at the upper left and right corners. Those who are particularly concerned with low uniformity may find it unacceptable. However, most people will never notice it, especially with photorealistic images.
Our Take on the Optoma HD27HDR
Brightness is better than the HD26, but that might have something to do with the number of hours I have on the lamp. Alexander, it strikes me that the much higher contrast ratio on the HD27HDR and the ability to feed it 4K HDR content and enjoy some benefits of HDR makes it well worth the premium in this case. Optoma recommends using High Altitude mode at 5,000 feet and above. With High Altitude On, Eco mode is only a little louder than full power mode with High Altitude Off. With full power and High Altitude On, those who are more sensitive to fan noise may want to apply some form of acoustic isolation.
So you do get an important upgrade with the Optoma. But we're unable to comment on how else the two projectors might vary, such as image sharpness or out-of-box color accuracy since we haven't reviewed this particular BenQ. You can visit our projection calculator for this model to see if the throw ratio accommodates your screen size and distance. I am a big fan of projector central, buying 3 projectors based on these review. I am trying to decide between an Optoma HD143x or the HD27hdr. Gaming got, movies the room is 22x21 and it total blackout.
Mike, on specs alone the HD27HDR has a better contrast rating, and its ability to play 4K content and make use of the HDR10 mastering on UHD discs and games is a strong plus vs. your now aging HD26. It also has MUCH lower input lag for gaming than either the HD26 or the HD27e . As well as the ability to play games at 1080p/120Hz.
When I set the player to connect only at 1080p, movement was appropriately smooth. With a third disc, colors were noticeably different between 4K and 1080p connections. And with still another I didn't see any differences.
In full power mode, you can hear it in quiet moments in a small room, but it is the kind of steady sound that tends to fade into the background. In Eco mode, it is quiet enough that it can easily be hidden by other ambient noise—like a ceiling fan—in a typical family room. The HD27HDR's 10-watt mono speaker delivers usable sound, despite a slight bottom-of-the barrel echo effect, along with enough volume to fill a small to mid-size room. It can be helpful for portable use, or for a backyard movie night, but for stereo or better sound quality, you'll need an external sound system. Our Highly Recommended designation is earned by products offering extraordinary value or performance in their price class.
If you're not viewing 4K material, however, the 4K connection doesn't always provide the best image quality. With a Blu-ray player, for example, playing a 1080p disc—or a DVD—means the player has to upscale the image to 4K, and then the HD27HDR has to downscale it to 1080p to display it. The combination of upscaling and downscaling can degrade the image.
Forecast
No one should expect to be able to consistently turn 2D content into a great 3D experience compared with content that has been carefully crafted by the content creator for 3D. If a projector has no keystone correction you must mount it in a location that avoids having to tilt the projector up or down. In a ceiling mount, you'll have the projector facing directly toward the wall on which the screen is mounted and use the vertical lens shift available in the projector to get the image framed up on the screen. If the combination of the native vertical offset plus the available shift still places the image too high, you would have to use a pole on the mount to get the projector a bit further off the ceiling. Otherwise, your only option would be to tilt the projector down, which would cause keystone distortion that you would have no mechanism to adjust out. The 1.1x zoom isn't enough to curtail brightness significantly at the telephoto end of the lens.
With 1080p material, using both 4K and 1080p connections, they were so fleeting that I barely noticed them. With 4K material, they were still rare, but a little more obvious when they showed. If you're unusually sensitive to rainbow artifacts or don't know if you are, it is best to buy from a dealer who allows easy returns so you can test this for yourself. Changing from the maximum 10 to the 1 setting in Bright mode increased the green bias instead of decreasing it.
