Our Verdict
BenQ HT3560
BenQ X500i
The BenQ X500i is better than the BenQ HT3560. They're about equally as bright, but the X500i has better contrast and is slightly more accurate out-of-the-box. The X500i also comes with the advanced BenQ QS02 dongle, giving it a plethora of wireless and streaming features, while the HT3560 doesn't have a smart OS or any wireless features out-of-the-box. Finally, the X500i is a short-throw projector, so you can place it closer to the wall than the HT3560.
