BenQ GP500 1500-Lumen UHD 4K DLP Smart Home Theater Projector

The single-unit design of the GP500 features the projector on top and a bottom half surrounded by a molded metal mesh grille. This grille covers a system of four angled full-range speakers at each corner, delivering 360° of room-filling sound. The bass reflex design of the cabinet helps to boost the bass, while an integrated DSP chip offers treVolo tuning for a 3D audio effect.

With individual speaker channel-switching and audio frequency adjustment, the GP500 will flip left and right channels between drivers based on whether you sit centered or to the left or right of the projector. This provides balanced sound and a general sweet spot of 3 to 7′ from the GP500 in any of the positions.

The GP500 automatically measures RGB color points to dynamically control the projected color for accuracy to your content.

The GP500 gets you enjoying your shows, movies, and games quickly, by using intelligent calibration features to get your image sized and focused quickly.

• Screen fit feature automatically fits the projected image to fill your screen from border to border
• Object avoidance automatically scales your image if it’s projected over an object on the wall, such as a picture frame

You have a wide array of options when it comes to getting content projected through the GP500.

The GP500 is capable of projecting your movies, games, and shows at huge sizes. Project a 100″ image from just 7.3 to 9.4′ away, a 120″ image from 8.7 to 11.3′, or a 150″ image from 10.9 to 14.1′ away.

A remote control is included to provide traditional control, but it also features a Google Assistant button to allow you to use your voice for hands-free control.
