Verdict

The BenQ V5000i is a high-performance 4K UHD ultra-short throw (UST) projector featuring an RGB triple laser light engine that delivers 2,500 ANSI lumens and covers 95% of the BT.2020 and 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamuts. Main characteristics include a 0.25 throw ratio, HDR-PRO technology with HDR10+ support, and a built-in 40W Trevolo audio system with dual 15W woofers. Key pros are its industry-leading low input lag for gaming (17.9ms at 4K/60Hz and 8.7ms at 1080p/240Hz), exceptional color accuracy, and dedicated Netflix-certified Android TV integration. However, notable cons include its limited maximum recommended screen size of 100 inches, the lack of Dolby Vision support, and a relatively high price point compared to some competitors.
