BenQ X500i 4K HDR 4LED Short Throw Console Gaming Projector

Description

The BenQ X500i 4K HDR 4LED Short Throw Console Gaming Projector is an excellent choice for compact golf simulator studios and gaming rooms. With 2200 ANSI lumens, a 0.69–0.83 short-throw ratio, and 1.2× zoom, it produces large, vivid images from close range—capable of a crisp 95" image from just 1.44 m. Its 4LED light source delivers richer color volume than 3LED and lamp projectors and lasts up to 30,000 hours (Eco), eliminating lamp replacements.

Purpose-built enhancements—including HDR tone mapping, SSI Dynamic Black, and BenQ CinematicColor™—reveal lifelike detail on fairways and in dark scenes. Ultra-fast game modes (down to 4.2 ms at 1080p/240 Hz) and Auto Game Mode Recognition tailor visuals and latency for each console, while Android TV smart features keep streaming and casting simple.

CinematicSound Audio
Dual 5 W speakers with MAXXAudio DPS create spacious, detailed sound; eARC and S/PDIF support external audio systems.
