Even though the listed specification is 100,000:1 FOFO (Full On/Full Off) with light source dimming, in actuality I measured approximately 914:1. But this is something that should be kept in mind if you're sensitive to this effect.Īlso, as I have seen on some other LED projectors, the GP500 delivers fairly low contrast. During my time with the GP500 I did see rainbow artifacts on occasion and very minimally fortunately it was much less frequent and again very minimal to what I have experienced on other DLP models. The GP500's single-chip DLP architecture does require that colors be presented to the imaging chip sequentially, which creates the possibility to display rainbow effect artifacts despite the lack of a color wheel. The picture mode that meets this specification, labeled as Bright, does have a green bias to the image, though it was not too overpowering and would be suitable for very bright room viewing at the expense of accuracy. The GP500 is capable of achieving 1,500 ANSI lumens of light output per BenQ's specifications and I'm pleased to say that it did indeed meet this claim, coming in at a measured 1,504 ANSI lumens in the brightest picture mode. This LED engine results in fairly fast power on and off times, high color luminance, and from 20,000 to 30,000 hours of life (depending on usage) that is virtually maintenance free. The GP500 uses a solid-state 4LED light source to enjoy the benefit of no lamp replacements over the life of the projector. It measures 10.2 x 10.5 x 7.2 inches (WHD) and weighs 11.9 pounds, so while it is not a lightweight, it is certainly portable and has special accommodations for quick set ups that I'll mention below.
It provides users with a rather robust feature set in terms of performance, convenience, and quality of life features, and offers an unusual rectangular box design that helps accommodate a robust audio system.
The GP500 4K HDR LED projector was released January 2023 as a new entry to BenQ's Home Cinema Series.
