The projector supports resolutions from 480p SD up to 2160p UHD and frame rates up to 60 Hz. There's no Game Mode and input lag is significant it's specified at 83 milliseconds, though I measured a bit less at 69.1 ms with a 4K/60 Hz signal. The DCI-P3 color space has a wider gamut, but as with most projectors, using it comes at the cost of losing some brightness versus the Rec.709 color space.īenQ offers some serious gaming projectors, such as the recently reviewed TK700Sti, but makes no claim to the V7050i being one of them.

This projector reproduces 96% of the Rec.709 color space and 98% of the DCI-P3 color space according to BenQ specs. However, we're only talking a couple of extra inches difference in terms of proximity to the screen wall. This UST offers a 0.25:1 throw ratio that's comparable to some competing USTs but not quite as aggressive as the LG HU85LA or the Samsung Premiere models. The laser light source consumes 152 watts and will last for 20,000 hours. The laser engine uses a single blue laser with a phosphor wheel and an RGBRGB color wheel. It is designed for screen sizes ranging from 70 to 123 inches and relies on DLP projection technology (using the latest generation 0.47-inch DMD) with Texas Instrument's XPR fast pixel-shift technology. The V7050i is a 4K UST (ultra-short throw) projector with a 2,500 ANSI lumen rated output and support for HDR10 and HLG HDR video up to 4K resolution. Among UST projectors, what stands out is the image fidelity, which approaches what I'm used to seeing from pricier dedicated home theater projectors. This projector offers impressive picture quality for TV shows and movies, in a living room-friendly design and at screen sizes with which TVs cannot compete-up to 120 inches (diagonal).
