The X500i is part of BenQ's gaming-focused projector lineup and offers low input lag suitable for console gaming. Its 4K HDR output pairs well with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and the Android TV built-in means you can also play mobile games directly on the projector.

Can I connect Bluetooth headphones or external speakers to the BenQ X500i?

The X500i supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to pair external Bluetooth speakers or headphones for better audio than the built-in speakers. This is useful for late-night viewing or outdoor movie setups where you want a more immersive sound experience.
