Description
The BenQ GP520 brings true 4K UHD resolution to a compact, LED-powered home entertainment projector. Its 4LED light engine produces 2,600 ANSI lumens with a 200,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and BenQ CinematicColor technology covers 98% of Rec.709 and 81% of DCI-P3 for rich, accurate colour across movies and streaming.
Built-in Google TV provides direct access to major streaming apps, and MEMC motion interpolation combined with a dedicated Sports Mode eliminates motion blur during fast-moving content. Gaming is well supported too, with 17.9ms input lag at both 1080p and 4K and support for up to 240Hz at lower resolutions.
Auto keystone correction, a fixed 1.2x throw ratio, HDMI 2.1 inputs with ALLM and eARC, and a 24W two-speaker system round out a projector designed to be a genuinely all-in-one home cinema replacement without a separate AV receiver.
