The Epson 5050 is a better projector if you are in the market at this price range and has better features for the money.
This ht8060 is 7 years old...the 5050 is 5. Epson has a way better warranty experience
"The DLP chip inside BenQ's 4K projectors uses a technology called pixel-shifting, which can achieve true 4K resolution with 8.3 million distinct pixels."

Native contrast ratio is arguably much more important than native "true" 4k resolution for most content's image depth and "pleasing" factor -- I'd way rather have a 4k shifter with much higher native contrast ratio without relying on ugly dynamic contrast techniques. Having said that, I don't begrudge folks who do PC work on projectors & want perfect 4k for text, but they're in the extreme minority.
I haven't said a single thing about quality or clarity. I am stating the obvious deception these companies using the word true 4k to depict 4x pixel shifting 4k. And just because they use it so much that it becomes "industry standard" doesn't make it right.
Espon pixel shifting projectors projects a 1920x1080 image Two(4Ke) or Four Times(PRO-UHD). I am not sure if that actually displays 8.3M distinct pixels, or the same 2.1MP pixels 2 or 4 times.
Pixel shifting is pixel shifting. Just use some other terminology, I don't care how good it is. That's like saying car companies can call their 4 cylinder turbo charged engines an 8 cylinder engine because it produces as many horsepower as an 8 cylinder engine.
Again, just because they have standardize the terminology doesn't make it right.

"Epson's new 4-way pixel-shifting technique (4K PRO-UHD) adds an overall sense of detail and refinement to its image missing from previous-generation models. The amount of detail now present in the image is right in line with what I'm seeing from Sony and JVC native 4K projectors. That's seriously impressive when you remember that the LS12000 is using 1080p-native LCD panels.
Those worried about the LS12000 not being native 4K shouldn't. The resolution and fine detail in the image are now so good, that I don't think people will be able to tell the difference."
Having said that, deceptive marketing can totally be a problem in certain areas, see here:

I'm sure it's a nice projector but, would never spend that kind of money without it....
My goto is "The Hook Up". His reviews are fantastic for both the casual observer and for the tech nerd who lives on the small details.
The channel has reviews of many projectors, both high end and casual.

Perhaps Sony and JVC should sue benq and other brands that use the True 4k moniker.

Now if I were to compare say a typical 65" TV at a normal viewing range for a living room of about 9-10ft then going from say ~1440p to ~4k would be much less obvious.
With all that said would I take this HT8060 over the 6050UB? No. The resolution is only one factor and for most movies it's the lenses used, processing, etc. are the bottleneck not the resolution so even at 1080p x2 it still looks very good especially paired with something like MadVR for the detail enhancement. Contrast is much more important in movies overall.
I think this could be an interesting projector under $2k - it has a very good lens, is quiet (I would not call the HK2288 quiet), has decent contrast for DLP shifter (but it seems like it's a bit worse than the HK2288 which I measured at about 1800:1) and solid color especially if you were to use MadVR or similar for HDR tonemapping.
Sony's XW5000ES is a beautiful projector but unfortunately performs poorly in dark scenes. So your best bet would be finding a lightly used jvc nx7. Probably can find one around 5

Benq HT4550i is a way better option than the Epson 5050. The HT4550i uses led light source rather than a bulb so it will last at least 10 years and produces way better colors than the epson and even better than the 8060. The HT4550i also is way brighter at 3200 lumens than the epsons 2600 lumens which means you can basically use it as a tv in a bright room and will still look really good. The HT4550i also has huge amounts of vertical and horizontal lens shift to help get it aligned perfectly (almost as good as the epsons).

That and the color depth are the reasons I got mine, though I think the latter is mostly related to the almost unique LED setup in the 90xx series, so can't speak to this version. Never expected one of these to pop up on Slickdeals...
Did you snap one from that 2019 refurb deal? Me too. I am waiting for the 9060 refurb or even laser refurb from BenQ. The edge to edge sharpness is incredible
