Our Verdict

Epson Home Cinema 1080

BenQ HT2060

The BenQ HT2060 is better than the Epson Home Cinema 1080, but they excel in different room contexts. The Epson is easier to carry around due to its smaller size and lighter weight, and they both have automatic vertical keystone correction, but the BenQ has adjustable feet and a more powerful integrated speaker system. The Epson is far brighter than the BenQ, but the BenQ has vastly better contrast; this makes the Epson a better pick for brighter rooms, while the BenQ has the edge in home theater setups, especially with its HDR support.
