'X500i' having being teased for a long time now with all ur projector reviews , i recently used ur projector playlist & watched them all again for reference in helping me choose , i selected the benQ tk-850i , only had it for a couple weeks , its been pretty decent so far , just using it for 99.9% films in my theater . thanks

Good Review. One thing I'd like to point out is that you mentioned 1ms input lag on monitors.. that's actually Response Time, which the amount of time it takes to change the color of a pixel per frame. It's easily confused with Input Lag. The Response Time on most projectors is actually near instant because it's just projecting light instead of displaying pixels like an LCD.

Under the right conditions and, this projector performs strongly. I trust BenQ brand so this is an awesome product. It has some limitations and can't be compared to LED monitors or TVs, but if you're into projection gaming then it's great. It's better color and brightness than the competition at similar price like you outline here. like 53

'X500i' 'Hi... so this one is better than the X1-4K Viewsonic projector? I'm trying to make a purchase choice. I was sure to go for the Viewsonic... now i can't decide. Great videos, you inspired me to start a project with a cockpit and game projector.

I'd say this one has more to offer the the android tv stick included and the short throw makes it perfect for sim racing

This looks like the upgrade to the benq ht2150st, but I wonder if the x500i is brighter even though they both have 2200 ANSI lumens.
@Capocd 4 ай бұрын
As someone who made this exact upgrade, I can confirm it is brighter, specially when the room is lighted. I assume LED vs Lamp also improves brightness quality when in lighted rooms?

The biggest issue with projectors is that they are a lot harder to setup compared to a TV. A TV, you just plop it somewhere, and it works perfectly. A projector, you need to plan out where you want to place it, how to mount it and how you are going to plug everything in
@overnightdelivery 3 ай бұрын
Actually if you don't care about getting maximum image quality, one of the best parts about projectors is you can literally have an image projected anywhere without needing an actual physical screen or complicated setup. You can't easily move around and plop down a big screen TV due to the sheer size and weight but you can easily move around a compact projector like this. Yeah a TV is more practical in most cases where ambient light can wash out a projection. But everything has its pros and cons.
@teneesh3376 3 ай бұрын
@@overnightdelivery and even so, it still needs a lot of planning. I just project it in my wall, but it took a lot of work. Remember you also have to put the projector somewhere. Too low, it can be blocked by objects. Too high, the screen curves on the roof. Not to mention you also have a projector in your line of view if you don't plan on mounting it on the roof
@overnightdelivery 3 ай бұрын
@@teneesh3376 These are short throw projectors that only need 5 feet between the projector and the wall to create a 100 inch projection. Not like a long throw projector where the light can be blocked easily by objects in the way. Yes you may need a tripod or a small chair to set the projector on but that's not complicated for a quick setup. If you're talking about a permanent location like mounting to a ceiling in a specific room, then YES that requires planning. But the point still remains that you can't simply move a big screen Television around easily if you want to.
@teneesh3376 3 ай бұрын
@@overnightdelivery you also forgotten a few things. Projector speakers are terrible. So a sound system is needed to get a decent experience. Either a full blown one or a sound bar. Both can set you back around $100 on the Facebook marketplace. But also. Ultra short throws are an investment. Like $4000. Not as expensive as big TVs, but still more expensive than the mid range TVs. So an ultra throw plus a sound system is a lot. But I agree, advantages and disadvantages. A short throw is fine and relatively cheap. I have a short throw, but that still sorta blocks my view. Not a lot. But I need to sit up real straight so that lower right corner isn't blocked
@overnightdelivery 3 ай бұрын
@@teneesh3376 So we're not really disagreeing. They both have advantages and disadvantages. Agreed that TVs are still more practical in most cases. Just not all. Any 150 inch TVs that may exist would be crazy expensive and heavy. So projection will still fit that nitch. Until some crazy tech comes up with paper thin TVs that are massive, weigh almost nothing and you can roll up and bring with you. 😁

Shame about the rainbow effect (just learned about as I was wondering why all the gaming projectors seem to have it). It's just unwatchable, are there any gaming projectors without this effect? I can seem to find one that's been reviewed on KZfaq.
@overnightdelivery 3 ай бұрын
The RBE actually isn't noticeable at all in most movies. But you definitely do notice it with bright white objects on dark backgrounds. It doesn't make me feel ill like some people but it is annoying scrolling through white text on dark backgrounds in Windows.
@justinbeamon6624 3 ай бұрын
Rainbow effect is almost eliminated completely on this projector, it's 4LED, does not use a color wheel. Triple laser projectors have minimal effect as well. But If you need absolutely none, the Epson projectors with 3LCF or LCD projectors have no rainbow effect.
@overnightdelivery 3 ай бұрын
@@justinbeamon6624 That's not true because I'm using it right now and Rainbow Effect is present with dark backgrounds. That being said it does not bother me enough to be a deal breaker. Literally everything else about the projecter is great. But the fan is a bit loud and I use Eco Mode most of the time to keep the noise levels down.
