Our take on the Benq X500i 4K Ultra HD Gaming Projector Bundle

The BenQ X500i is an ultra short throw 4K DLP projector built around gaming and streaming. It throws a large image from inches away, so it sits near the wall instead of across the room. Its LED light source runs long and starts up fast, and HDR support covers modern games and films. Against lamp projectors it trades raw brightness for placement freedom and low maintenance; against other UST models it leans on gaming features rather than living-room picture tuning.

Questions and answers

Is the BenQ X500i good for gaming?
Yes. It is designed around low input lag and fast response, and it handles 4K console and PC play well. Its LED light also starts quickly, so sessions begin without a warm-up wait.
How close to the wall does it need to be?
Because it is ultra short throw, it sits just in front of the wall or screen and casts a large image from a short distance. Exact throw depends on the screen size you want.
Do I need a special screen?
A UST-specific or ambient-light-rejecting screen gives the best results, especially in rooms with some light. A plain white wall works but softens contrast and uniformity.
Will I see the rainbow effect?
Some DLP viewers notice brief color fringes on high-contrast motion. Many never see it. Try one in person if you are sensitive to it.
Does it have built-in streaming apps?
It runs BenQ's smart interface with popular streaming apps, so you can watch without an extra stick. App selection and updates vary by region.
Is it bright enough for a living room?
It is best in a darkened room or with light control. In bright daylight the image washes out, so close the blinds or use an ALR screen.
