Our Verdict

BenQ HT2050A

BenQ HT2060

The BenQ HT2060 is an improvement over the BenQ HT2050A, even if the latter is a bit brighter. Otherwise, the newer HT2060 has deeper contrast, is far more accurate out of the box, has a slightly wider color gamut, and has HDR10 support. It also has a Filmmaker Mode, which respects the content creator's intent quite well. Finally, the HT2060 is also pretty decent for gaming due to its 1080p @ 120Hz support, while the older HT2050A is limited to 1080p @ 60Hz.
