BenQ - GP520 4K UHD LED Projector

BenQ GP520 is pretty perfect.

**It depends on whether you need portability. If you plan to bring it to a friend’s place for movie nights, the BenQ GP520 would be a great choice. But if you're planning to ceiling-mount it from the start, then the Epson might be more suitable.** **That said, in terms of image performance, I think the GP520 is better. It has higher brightness and doesn’t require lamp replacements, so overall it offers a smoother user experience.**

Literally my journey. Cheap Amazon projector as an emergency display while on the road. Lasted us a year and change at home. When the filter burned through upgraded to a BenQ 4K setup. No way my wife would have been interested in the cost for the system without testing a cheap version first.

Looks great. Got a mate with benq 4K projector and The feeling playing at 130 inch screen is amazing. This nebula projector looks even better. Enjoy!

For reference, I ended up getting a Benq GP520, which works with the Sonos Arc via HDMI. Quite pleased with the projector so far. The black levels are not the best, but other than that it's performing well and does everything I want of it. Particularly cool is I run the GeForce Now app from it, connect Xbox pads via Bluetooth and have a massive screen in the bedroom I can PC game from. Hope that helps someone!

I have a 110" ALR screen paired with my BenQ 4k projector. Space limitations kept me from the 120" screen. I still have my 40" Sony. I think we get conditioned to the TV image, and forget what being in a movie theater is like.   Are the images different? They most certainly are....and you will never get eye strain from a projector. IMO, the images are more realistic with a projector and the large screen adds to the viewing pleasure, be it your favorite film or sporting event. I love watching hockey and football!

Projectors have as many settings as a tv. Adjustments can be made to your viewing pleasure. There's no denying that ambient light is the enemy of all projectors....even in a movie theater. When the lights are "up" in your local theater, the image on the big screen is impacted....and so it is with your home set up. I have my projector set on Filmmaker mode, and laser set at Eco mode...higher settings are available, but these give me the most satisfying image to my eyes, with no worry of eye strain. Again, the images via projector are different than a tv.

I would go projector without a question. I have a BenQ 4k model and 120" screen and the movie watching is so much better.

BenQ GP520 is the best bang for the buck: [https://geizhals.eu/benq-gp520-a3331939.html](https://geizhals.eu/benq-gp520-a3331939.html)

It has the old DMD Revision. I would not buy it. You can do better: [https://geizhals.eu/benq-gp520-a3331939.html](https://geizhals.eu/benq-gp520-a3331939.html)

I had the gp520 here and can't recommend it because of the bad black level. It's kinda brownish. What about the horizon S pro? For me it won the direct comparison to the gp520, but you have to adjust the colors a bit, because they are too strong in the standard settings

Yes, still have the TV behind the drop down screen. Don't know why, barely use it since the projector has been in. Hard to go back from full immersive experience. BenQ 4K (few years old now, get many hours of each globe).
