Good brightness, decent black levels

Loud fan noise, only one digital input

BenQ’s W500 is an entry-level 720p home theatre projector with great brightness levels and high quality imagery. Colour accuracy isn’t perfect, and a short zoom limits options for placement. But with such a reasonable price, the W500 is a compelling...

Other specs of the W500 are quite promising, too. The claimed maximum brightness of 1,100 ANSI Lumens is very high for this price level, as is the claimed contrast ratio of 5,000:1. This contrast ratio is dependent - as usual with LCD technology - on a...

Compact size ; Bold and bright presentation ; Affordable

Average contrast performance ; Blacks often appear grey

A great portable solution to your projector needs

Good brightness, decent black levels

Inherently, we all have to figure that any "entry level" home theater projector is a compromise. Afterall, for example, the W500 is the least expensive of five 720p and 1080p projectors they offer.

GUT

Niedriger Stromverbrauch, Leihgerät im Schadensfall

Etwas flaues Bild, Schwacher Schachbrettkontrast

Der BenQ W500 brüstet sich mit "Hollywood-Quality-Video". Was genau BenQ damit meint, konnten wir nicht erkennen: Im direkten Vergleich zu anderen Heimkino-Beamern liefert der Projektor ein eher flaues Bild. Beim Test half da auch kein Nachregulieren...
