Our Verdict
Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300
BenQ X500i
The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300 is significantly brighter than the BenQ X500i, but the BenQ is better overall due to its superior contrast, wider color gamut, and advanced gaming features. The BenQ is also a much smaller unit overall, making it far easier to move around than the bulkier Epson. Finally, the BenQ projects a sharper image due to its 4k pixel shifting capabilities, while the Epson is limited to 1080p. If you need a projector for a bright room, then the Epson is better overall, and the BenQ is more well-rounded.
