  • Limited connectivity with only two HDMI ports; one is typically occupied by the included streaming dongle
  • High input lag (approximately 70-80ms), making it unsuitable for competitive gaming
  • Requires juggling two separate remotes—one for the projector and one for the Android TV dongle
  • Native Netflix app is not supported on the included QS01 dongle

Verdict

The BenQ V7050i is a 4K UHD ultra-short-throw laser projector designed as a high-end television replacement, featuring 2,500 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. It utilizes a 0.47-inch DMD chipset with XPR pixel-shifting technology and a specialized RGBRGB color wheel to achieve 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, supported by HDR-Pro (HDR10/HLG) and a dedicated Filmmaker Mode for cinematic accuracy. Key advantages include its automatic motorized sunroof lens cover for dust protection, exceptional out-of-the-box color fidelity, and integrated 10W treVolo-tuned virtual surround speakers. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively high input lag of approximately 69–83ms that limits its appeal for competitive gaming, the presence of only two HDMI 2.0b ports—one of which is occupied by the included external Android TV dongle—and the lack of native Netflix support on the provided streaming stick.
