GREAT GAMING PROJECTOR?!?! - BenQ X500i Review - 4K OR 1080p 240Hz DLP Short throw!

Not that long ago, the term “gaming projector” would have been considered both setup and punchline for a pretty funny joke. Spending thousands for an undeniably sub-par gaming experience isn’t exactly an option worth shouting about, but with this, the BenQ X500i, it might actually be worthwhile compared to an awful lot of TVs - especially if you have the space to go big with it. Even for pretty regular sized rooms you can get considerably larger than TV sized screens - you only need about 5 feet, or 1.5 metres, between the projector and the wall to get a 100 inch screen - or if you’ve got room to spare, 8 feet or about 2.4 metres gets you a whopping 150” frame. You can’t beat that with a TV!

I watched this expecting this “gaming” projector to be a meme, but this is incredibly impressive. It’s amazing to see projectors finally catch up to LCDs.

2:20 You're right about refresh rates, as far as how they're programmed in most monitors. However, I have found some cheap monitors that have options for higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. I had a 60hz1080p IPS display from Philips that had a preset for 75Hz at 640x480.

Sounds like my Optoma UHD40. Though its 1080p mode only did 120Hz, which I did always wonder why it wouldn't be 240 since it did do 4k60Hz.

Would you recommend upgrading from BenQ TH690ST?

[@ifell3]

Are you going to do a tear down so we can see those tiny mirrors working 😂

[@jimbob-jimmyhcgaming3013]

Does it have bluetooth ?

[@HugeVictor]

Why must so many projectors have so much offset?
