Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 vs BenQ X500i

The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 and BenQ X500i are very different projectors. While the BenQ is a short-throw projector and can be placed relatively close to the wall, the Epson's ultra-short-throw capabilities let you place the unit almost flush with the wall. The Epson is also one of the brightest projectors we've tested, while the BenQ is too dim for rooms with lots of lights. Still, the BenQ is a much smaller and lighter product, so it's easier to move, is more accurate than the Epson, and has better contrast. If you need a projector for a bright room, then the Epson is better overall, but the BenQ is more well-rounded and much cheaper.
