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!!

Frontpage last year for $1k, looks like a good deal assuming you don't want to go a higher tier? https://slickdeals.net/f/17163055-benq-gp500-4k-hdr-led-smart-home-theater-projector-999-free-s-h?v=1&src=SiteSearch

Pretty reasonable for gaming even though they don't advertise it for this purpose

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?

Seems good for a dark room, but 1500 lumens is too low for a living room with light.

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!
