Build Your Exclusive Home IMAX Cinema - BenQ i500 Experience

Foreword:

Today, smart micro-investment is the most popular kind of intelligent hardware. Its fiery level is no less than that of smart phones. However, domestic digital maker BenQ has recently begun to enter smart micro-investment, and released several products in one breath. What is the performance of this product? Can you create a home IMAX theater? I personally tried many brands of micro-investment products, but for the first time the BenQ micro-investment of the brand! So let me take everyone to see BenQ i500 this product!


The BenQ i500 mailed over here is relatively simple to package, so I will not show you the packaging, and I will mainly say that the next part because of the large lumen power, so basically the power of such micro-projection products are relatively large In addition, the product also comes with a remote control, but the remote control feels very poor, the overall hard, press up very uncomfortable.


The i500 has a similar lens cover that does not direct light to the eyes.


Lens protective cover is mainly used magnetic design, usually do not need to use the i500, as long as a "touch", it is installed.



Remove the lens protection cover, you can see i500 huge lens, looks very domineering, but I feel why is also a 500 lumen home projector, other brands of the lens is probably only a quarter of the i500 so big? ?


There is a power button on the i500's body, and buttons that do not use projection are only used as high-quality Bluetooth speakers. There are no bright spots to evaluate, but it can be used as a speaker to use this design.



I then take a look at the i500's left and right air inlets. You can clearly see the internal fan blades. The entire i500's body design is sleek and the shell workmanship is not bad.



Since products such as micro-projections need to be used for heat dissipation, the i500 must have the design of outlets and air inlets. The inlet and outlet are the same. Both have a symmetrical design. In addition, there is a focusing button above the air inlet. Focusing button When I experience later, the experience is very good, the focus is smooth, and the effect is obvious.


The back of the i500 is as simple as the previous one, but I always feel that this design is not too simple and does not make you feel a little surprised. Like other domestic brands, such as rice, nuts, one has a gesture operation, one is all metal. Shell, compared to i500 in the appearance of some of the highlights.


The i500 design the power connector on the bottom of the fuselage without affecting the appearance.


The back of the i500's body has a hole specially designed for connecting brackets. However, because the i500's body is a little bulky, an ordinary phone tripod may not be able to support it, so you have to purchase an additional metal tripod.



In addition, I also found a more interesting design at the bottom of the fuselage, that is, retractable bracket, gently press the switch, there will be a pop-up bracket at the bottom of the i500.





Now take a look at the rear side of the i500. This rear side design can be said to be the most distinctive part of the whole body. It focuses on the data interface, speakers, and gold metal mesh design. It seems very compelling. . It is estimated that this is the best part of the i500 whole body.


Like the front lens protection cover, this metal dust cover behind the fuselage also uses a magnetic suction design, and there is also a trademark of BenQ.



After taking off the dustproof board, we can see that there are many practical interfaces on the back. The i500 is equipped with one each of HDMI, VGA, USB2.0, and USB3.0 interfaces, as well as audio input and output ports, etc., which are rich in interfaces. USB3.0's fast also allows users to get a faster data transmission experience.


In addition, because the magnetic suction plate design can also be adsorbed on the back of the metal mesh.


Connected to the power supply, the following began to look at the i500 system, and projection experience.


Let me talk about the i500 system experience, i500 ui design I feel very simple, ui interface with BenQ, Jingdong, there are interconnected Octagon, temporarily do not know what this ui called, looks like an APP custom desktop.





I500's power resources are rather strange, both the latest Charlotte troubles, but also a long time movie, movie sorting sort of personal feeling is somewhat unreasonable.


Later I realized that the original BenQ i500 had a customized resource called Best Friend. All the video resources were provided by excellent friends. How does it feel good? . . Everyone is mango TV, iQiyi. You make an excellent friend. .


I took a look at Charlotte's troubles. It's not a bad one. It seems that some movies are also charged.


However, what I want to say is that the film provided by this excellent friend does not have a clear definition! According to my personal viewing experience, the resources of all movies are probably locked to 720P or 1080P resolution!!


I changed another set of HD classifications to see the i500's video resources. . What are these long-term resources?


Why would the latest hit TV series be rumored, do BenQ i500 users like watching rumors?


In the process of experiencing the system, by using the latest security Bunny TV test software, we ran a minute. . The result of the run is 10,000 points. . Of course, if you haven't touched other micro-projections, then you will feel that this is a good result, but for me. .


The same micro-projection, but belonging to the portable pocket micro-projection, Zimi Air Z4 Air ran out of 9800 points. . Why does the 4999 i500 have the same result as a 2,000-plus micro-shooter? . .













The i500's settings interface is too little, there is only one skin and more settings.


When I enter more settings, the results except some hard settings, including fan speed, projection effects, projection correction, etc. can not be set! This is really not human! This experience will make me feel this system experience Very general!


In addition, internal file management, if you do not plug in an external storage device, then you have no way to manage the i500 system, in addition to the installation of third-party file management, this system makes me feel unconscious design, to be optimized There are too many places!


Finally, let's take a look at the projection effect of the BenQ i500. Here we need to say that all home projectors need to be used in dark places. Many people like to talk about low lumens, and they need to know that the lumens are high. , Commercial projection at least 10,000 yuan, positioning home projection products, you are willing to spend million to experience it? Well, not much gossip, all the projection in order to ensure that the picture is clean, the picture is to go to the black side, the following pictures are all for the real shot! First of all is the first leaf, we can see the effect of the i500 projection are Near the original picture, the color reproduction is very accurate!


In this group of pictures, the effect of the i500 projection is only partially discolored, but the overall effect of the projection screen is very good.


In this group, we can still feel the i500 projected image is very close to the original, it seems that the i500's biggest advantage is that the projection screen is not color cast! In addition, during use, i500 can automatically correct the projection screen, very accurate. And the projector will not run out of focus and run out of focus.


















Its practical i500 can not only be used to create an indoor theater, the most important is also to create a fun experience playing a large screen game, used to play the simulator game the best, plus the i500 has two USB interface design, Can better connect peripherals to play games.


Experience summary:

Finally, I also conducted a test, that is, the noise decibel test, which is how much noise the fan will cause during the operation of the i500. After the noise decibel test, because the i500 can not adjust the projection mode and wind speed, so it's The noise was between 65dba and 70dba, and the personal feeling was still quite small, but the sound of the fan could still be clearly heard at night. In addition, I would also like to mention a few points about the i500's product recommendations and conclusions. 1. The lack of bright spots in the design, the size is slightly larger, but the overall design atmosphere. 2, the system UI has a great optimization space, my personal experience does not feel good. 3, the projection effect is very good, the brightness is very full. 4, the price hopes to be able to fall, the same configuration of the product as long as its half price.

The i500 is, in a sense, a test of BenQ's move into microfinance, but I have always felt that BenQ did not work hard on the system UI, and the appearance of the three micro-projections are similar in nature, but the projection technology, And the projection effect can be said to stand out from the crowd, I agree with this, but in other areas we need to work hard to optimize, especially the system and the price! In short, to buy home micro-projection is actually to buy projection effects, if you do not care about i500 Experience with the system, then simply rely on its projection effect is absolutely the reason you choose to buy!
