I had it and it was not bright enough for me, other than that great interface, nice picture and sharp image. It is now discontinued and dropped price by another 150.
I have this. One thing about this projector that is inconvenient is that you cannot access or adjust the projector setting menu without the remote! Crazy decision by designers, esp for a "on the go" backyard type projector!
It's otherwise decent for a LED 4K projector. But i still can't fathom the poor choice of not able to access projector menu without the remote!!

This also means if your remote dies in a few years you might have very limited options to replace it and if you can't replace it you got yourself a piece of junk.

Can you buy a spare remote?
That is indeed a problem since BenQ has discontinued this projector. So it is unknown how long you will be able to get a remote from BenQ. I don't imagine this remote would be that easily obtained on ebay either.
I just did a quick search on ebay for a GP500 remote. Got zero hit.... lol...
Overall, a very poor decision by BenQ. I am also floored by the fact that none of the reviews of this projector pointed out this obvious glaring HUGE problem!!
I 've owned about more than half dozen projectors. From a $30 walmart to a $2000 LG and this is the first and only projector i've personally come across in which you can't access the projector menu without having a remote...lol ..All of the other ones, you can use the control buttons on the projector itself to use the menu!
