Our Verdict

BenQ HT2060

ASUS ProArt Projector A1

The BenQ HT2060 is a bit better than the ASUS ProArt Projector A1. While the ASUS is brighter and has a wider color gamut, the BenQ has much better contrast and is much more accurate out-of-the-box. This gives the BenQ a clearer use case, as it's better suited as a budget home-theater option than the ASUS is. Still, if you're looking for a brighter projector that can handle a variety of rooms, the ASUS is a bit better in this regard.
