  • Conference Room

    The BenQ LH730 1080p LED projector is a great option for school or businesses to use in the classrooms and conference rooms, with good light output and high value for its $1,299 price tag.

  • Home Theater

    2023 Highly RecommendedThe BenQ HT4550i, an update to the popular HT3550, is a 4K LED light source projector for dark-room theater that achieves 100% DCI-P3 HDR color gamut and excellent out-of-box or calibrated accuracy.

  • Home Theater

    2023 Editor's ChoiceThe BenQ GP500 is a 4LED 4K projector with a light output of 1,500 ANSI lumens, Android TV streaming, a robust sound system, and surprisingly good out-of-box color accuracy for its $1,799 price.

  • Home Theater

    BenQ's TH690ST is a 1080p, short-throw gaming projector with a solid-state LED light engine, support for HDR10 and 3D, and super-low input lag—all for a $1,099 street price.

  • Home Theater

    As a gaming-first projector, the BenQ TK700 fits the bill. It's very bright, has low input lag, delivers a nice, crisp picture and is a solid performer for movies, too. There are a few missing features, but still offers a lot for its $1,400 price.

  • Home Theater

    2022 Highly RecommendedThe BenQ X3000i is a 4LED 4K DLP gaming projector that delivers quite a bit for under $2,000, including 3,000 ANSI lumens, three distinct game modes for different gameplay styles, and incredibly low input lag.

  • Projector Comparison

    The BenQ V7050i and Optoma CinemaX P2, priced $3,499 and $3,299 respectively, both earned ProjectorCentral's Editor's Choice award. But which one of these UST projectors wins out on overall performance and value? We set them head-to-head to find out.

  • $1,299

    Home Theater

    Best of the Year 2021The bright BenQ X1300i LED projector puts out close to 3,000 ANSI lumens and flexes its gaming DNA with three dedicated game modes focused on different game styles, all with incredibly low input lag.

  • Home Theater

    2021 Editor's ChoiceBenQ has entered the home ultra-short throw projector game fashionably late, but they've done it with gusto. The V7050i is an Editor's Choice award winner with great color accuracy at high light output and a nice crisp 4K image.

  • Home Theater

    2021 Highly RecommendedThe BenQ TK700STi earns our Highly Recommended award for being an excellent 4K gaming projector with spectacularly low input lag, high refresh rates, and solid image quality for games, movies, and streaming.

    Da-Lite
  • Home Theater

    The BenQ TH685i DLP gaming projector is an updated version of the TH685 released in 2020 that includes the QS01 Android TV streaming stick. It still has the TH685's excellent input lag and good color accuracy for its price.

  • Portable

    Best of the Year 2020The attractive BenQ GS2 portable projector is outdoor-ready with a splash-proof and drop-proof design, family friendly with a magnetic power cord and wireless capabilities, and it offers surprisingly good color.

  • Conference Room

    A sealed, IPX5-rated laser light engine requiring no filter changes or replacements sets BenQ's 4,000-lumen LH710 apart from its competition.

  • Projector Comparison

    Our shootout reveals that the BenQ TK850 and Optoma UHD52ALV each deliver better image quality than the other in different conditions—it just depends on whether you're watching SDR or HDR, and the screen material.

  • Projector Comparison

    The BenQ HT5550 offers a noticeable performance boost and more flexible placement than the HT3550, but the price difference makes the HT3550 a better bang for your buck.

  •  
  • Projector Comparison

    The BenQ HT3550 and TK850 are nearly identical, but the differences in brightness and color accuracy make one better for dark theaters and the other a great choice for living rooms.

  • Home Theater

    2020 Highly RecommendedBenQ's TK850 is nearly identical to its HT3550 home theater projector, but it successfully trades off a bit of color accuracy and gamut for significantly higher brightness suitable for lights-on, family-room viewing.

  • Conference Room

    The BenQ EH600 might be a little more expensive than its competition, but with the extra price comes an ingenious new approach to business projection.

    BenQ's new HT5550 mid-tier projector offers excellent image quality while stepping up from the budget HT3550 with higher rated contrast, a better zoom lens, and more.

  • Projector Comparison

    Commercial projectors deliver super-high brightness for a fraction of the cost of high-lumen home theater projectors. But will they work in a family room? In this two-part series, M. David Stone takes a look.

  • Home Theater

    2019 Highly RecommendedThe BenQ TH671ST's compact size, short throw lens, bright picture, accurate color, and fast 16 ms input lag makes it an ideal choice for apartments and dorm rooms where a big image and gaming performance really count.
