Our take on the BenQ X500i

The BenQ X500i is an ultra-short-throw 4K DLP projector with an LED light source rated at 2,200 ANSI lumens. It can project a large image from just inches away, making it suitable for small rooms or living rooms where a traditional projector would struggle. The X500i covers 84% of the DCI-P3 color space and supports HDR-PRO, and it includes built-in 5W stereo speakers and smart features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Google Assistant. Compared to other ultra-short-throw projectors, it offers a good balance of brightness, color performance, and smart capabilities, though its black levels and built-in audio are typical for its class.
