BenQ HT2060 (2023)

This 1080p 4LED home-theater projector offers two HDMI 2.0b inputs (HDCP 2.2) but, importantly, neither supports ARC or eARC — so audio to a soundbar has to go out through the projector's own Optical S/PDIF or 3.5mm output rather than back down an HDMI cable. The optical port carries multi-channel RAW bitstream, making it the best choice for a surround system. A single USB-A 2.0 port supplies 2.5A for a streaming stick and doubles as a service port. Control and power connections (RS-232 and the AC mains inlet) sit outside the A/V cabling you'd shop for.

1080p LED projector with dual HDMI 2.0b (no ARC), USB-A 2.0 power/service, 3.5mm audio in and out, and Optical S/PDIF out.

Notes & Compatibility

Two HDMI 2.0b inputs (HDCP 2.2); no ARC/eARC, so route audio out via the Optical S/PDIF (multi-channel RAW) or 3.5mm jack. RS-232 (DB-9) control port and the AC mains inlet are present but kept in prose. No VGA, Ethernet or 12V trigger.
