benq ultra short throw projectorYou will not believe the video quality possible with the new BenQ 4K V7050i ultra short throw projector. This is the ultimate home theatre projector from a company that has been building amazing projectors for many years. We sent this projector for a review recently and now it has returned to Best Buy so we can give it away to one very lucky reader of our blog. Take some time to read the review and watch the review video. Then read this article for details on how to enter for a chance to win one.

An amazing projection just an ultra short throw away

What is the benefit of an ultra short throw projector like the BenQ V7050i? Look at the image here on the right. Unlike a standard projector, the kind you have seen in the past, this new technology enables you to place it extremely close to the same wall on which you’ll project your movie, your Netflix show, your brilliant 4K anything! Inches away! And the image it projects is bright, ultra-high resolution, with brilliant HDR-Pro enhanced colours as only a BenQ projector delivers.

Read Andy Baryer’s review to learn how he set up the projector. You’ll learn some tips that will inspire you and help you decide where it will go if you win this contest.

Screen the next big movie premiere in your home

One key consideration for anyone using a short throw projector is where you project the image. Obviously you can’t use a dark wall. You need a reflective surface. Andy shows in his review that his movie room has a special flat white painted wall … and the image from this projector was fantastic. However, short throw projectors deliver the best image on a screen designed to limit the impact of ambient light on the projected image. He also mentioned that the best option is an ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen. These screens are designed to allow the upward projected light to be the only light that is reflected: this means the best projected image appears even when the room is well lit.

As I see it, you have three things to decide after getting this projector: what room to place it in, what surface will you use for the projected image, and how you’ll get the content you love into the projector. For that last one, you’ll be very pleased to learn that BenQ made the list of options extensive: you could stream from your phone but that is only one of many options!

How to enter

Entering this contest is easy, and you can enter in three different ways:

  1. In a comment below, tell us which BenQ projector is best for your home, a short throw projector or a standard projector you place far from the screen and why.
  2. In a comment below the review article for this projector, tell us where in your home you would use this projector and on what kind of surface would you project the image (a white wall or an ALR projector or something else?).
  3. In an email to bestbuyblog@bestbuycanada.ca with the subject line “BenQ ultra short throw projector” tell us which of the methods of getting content into the projector mention on the BenQ V7050i product page will you use most often. You must list that method exactly as it is stated on the product page for a valid entry (in other words, saying “streaming from my phone” would not be a valid entry).

What you can win

At the end of this contest, we will randomly select one entry to win the BenQ V7050i 4k UHD ultra short throw home theatre projector that Andy tested for his review article.

This contest runs from May 27th until June 12th. 

Remember you can enter three times in three different ways. However, you should tell your friends and family: an amazing projector like this is something you will want to share with family and friends who will also want to share in the fun of this contest.

  2. As a video editor it’s the missing piece for my suite and the perfect way to display work to my feature film clients.
    The 70″ BenQ V7050i projector would be ideal for my white wall which is currently taken up by my old TV.

  7. Short throw projector in front room because it’s small but comfortable to enjoy movies with family and friends

  8. We would love a standard projector for our basement, right now it is set up for photography and is a large open space

  9. A short-throw projector would be best for me because of the portability. I could use it at home but easily take it out camping.

  14. A short throw would work better because we have different sized walls in our darkest basement room.

  17. The BenQ short throw projector is the addition my newly finished basement needs. Can’t wait to try out.

  19. A short throw projector would work best for me as my TV room is long with a low ceiling so it would be difficult to accommodate a long throw projector.

  21. BenQ 4K TK700 UHD home theatre projector would work great in our living room with blackout curtains

  22. I have had too many occasions where a standard throw projector is difficult to place where it isn’t in the way, or the audience isn’t in its way.. A permanent ceiling installation can work well, but for high rooms or temporary use a short throw projector can often be placed low in front of the audience without as much interference.

  26. BenQ 4K UHD Home Theatre Projector (V7050i) for the back room so we can have a really great movie night with my Daughter and her Boy friend maybe a dog movie for our dogs LOL

  29. The short-throw projector would be ideal for my narrow apartment and hosting movie nights for friends regularly.

  31. Any model BenQ 4K short-throw projector would work fine for me, as I have a smaller extra room that is not used a lot with neutral colored walls. I already own a Samsung TV with Blue tooth and an HDMI splitter which I use for my Sony sound bar, as I find that flat screen TVs do not generally have large enough speakers. As I do not watch TV or movies daily, I appreciate the feature design of hiding the projection light when it is not in use. I was not aware of ALR screens but that has piqued my interest. Overall, I feel that projectors are a cost-efficient alternative when compared to that of larger-screen TVs (which also require too much room unless wall mounted), and that is something I would consider in the future.

  35. We would love a standard projector for our basement, then we’d actually go down there!

  38. BenQ 4K UHD HDR Home Theatre Projector (TK800M) looks pretty good. From what it says, it can work for both large and small rooms.

    Personally, I’d prefer short throw because I want to use it in my bedroom, but if it can work in the living room too, that’d be great.

  39. A standard would be best for me because I like to host movie nights with my friends and family and having a standard projector would allow us to watch movies outside on the side of the house

  42. A short-throw projector would be best for me because of the portability. I could use it at home but easily take it out camping. Although the TK700 mentions a game mode, a reviewer posted photos of the TK800M in use for gaming and it looks great! I’d go with the TK800M.

  43. A short-throw projector would be best for me because of the portability. I could use it at home but easily take it out camping.

  45. BenQ 4K HD Home Theatre Projector TK 700 with short throw projection would be good for my place too ✔️

  47. The BenQ 4K UHD Home Theatre Projector is best for my home. The family room is not large enough for the other one.
