I always loved Ben Q as well. They are typically some fo the best value of there. But you are absolutely right, the JVC blows it away in black level. This might sound crazy, but depending on your budget, you may want to keep an eye out on Facebook Marketplace. You will be surprised at some of the deals you can get. I just saw a JVC 4K near me, for a steal. I ended up not getting it, but it happens a lot. Of course, I do like the idea of getting a warranty with a new one.
