Our Verdict
BenQ HT4550i
Hisense C1
The BenQ HT4550i is better than the Hisense C1. It gets significantly brighter and displays more accurate colors, though the Hisense has better contrast, so it looks better in dark rooms. The optical zoom on the BenQ gives you more flexibility with placement, and ports like a 12V trigger make it more suitable for a dedicated home theater setup. That said, the Hisense may be a better-value option for those who just want an all-in-one solution.
