"Hawk Eye" to see the world BenQ intelligent micro-i500 experience evaluation

The year of 2015 witnessed the rapid development of smart micro-investment, and many products with smart miniature projections were sold to the market. Compared to traditional projections, smart micro-projectors are compact and easy to use, have the functions of a TV box and a projector, and are cheaper than traditional projectors, and are becoming the first choice for home projectors. BenQ, as a traditional projection manufacturer, has been unwilling to lag behind, and also launched its own intelligent micro-projection products.



The i500 is a smart micro-projection launched by BenQ called Hawkeye.





It is a miniature projection that is naturally smaller than a traditional projector. The i500 has a width of 215.63mm, a height of 201.7mm, a depth of 88.1mm, and a weight of 1.3kg. The body is white and the tail is gold.



The part that appears to be the nameplate is actually a magnetic design. After opening, you can see the various interfaces of the fuselage. From left to right are: MIC interface, audio input and output interface, HDMI interface, USB3.0 interface, PC interface, network cable interface and USB2.0 interface. Among them, the PC interface, USB3.0 interface and HDMI interface are all relatively practical. The PC interface can be directly connected to a computer. Like a nine-projector, the lecturer (actually, the teacher's meaning =. =) can use it. The i500 prepares lessons. USB interface can be connected with u disk and mobile hard disk. Friends who love to download movies from the Internet also have a more local viewing option. The use of the HDMI interface is more extensive, and it can be connected to a TV set-top box or connected to a game console.



The front two circular symmetry positions, the white light bulb cover and the nameplate type interface cover on the back, also adopts the magnetic design, more cleverly, you can directly attach the light bulb cover to the left circular shape. In the groove. The lower oval bracket can adjust the height of the front end.



The i500 lens uses 11 lenses and an all-metal lens barrel. Of these, the 10 Japanese glass high-transmitting spherical glass lens group effectively solves the problem of "difficult focus" that may be caused by lens distortion. This is also the "Eagle Eye". The fundamental lies.



The fan ports are arranged on both sides of the fuselage, effectively avoiding the problem of unclear projection screens that may be caused by “rearing in and out”. The focusing knob and power connector are also on the side of the body.





There are only two buttons on the body, a projection switch, a Bluetooth speaker switch. The bottom is printed with the relevant parameters, and both the feet and one bracket use rubber pads for anti-slip.



Accessories list: remote control, manual, warranty card, power supply, HDMI cable.





The white remote control is built on a body and uses a 2025 button battery for power.





Functionally, in addition to the smart projection function, the i500 can also be used as a separate Bluetooth speaker to connect a mobile phone or tablet.



In order to achieve better results, i500 hired Andy Chen, an acoustic software engineer known as “Golden Ear”, to perform professional tuning. Listeningly, the i500 is not pursuing loud bass. The tri-band performance is more balanced. The sound performance is better than that of the ordinary projection speakers. It is even better than the ordinary PC speakers. However, it should be noted that the projection and Bluetooth functions can only use one, can not be used at the same time, that is, when the projection function is turned on, and can not Bluetooth link peripherals, which makes want to use Bluetooth connection BenQ home electrostatic Bluetooth speaker Some nine of them felt a little regret.



Let's talk about systems and use.



BenQ uses Android-based customization and cooperates with the "connected parties." The interface is similar to the general box interface, and does not require excessive learning costs. The "recommendation" section is clear at a glance and is a recent hot movie or episode, with some major applications. Some nine recently watched "Marshal" is also placed on the front page. Click and reach it.



Television resources are still relatively abundant. From hitting TV to synchronizing with TV, various kinds of films are available. In terms of resource integration, i500 is not inferior to those TV boxes where content providers quit.





In "Cloud Audio and Video," in addition to television dramas and movies, there are high-definition theaters, 3D zones, and Dolby areas.



You can earn one year's gifted membership by watching the public number. After obtaining the membership, you can watch all the resources for free.





In the playback, specific settings can be made. Both the image mode and the sound mode have a special "movie" mode, which can be turned on to achieve the best viewing effect. In addition, brightness, contrast and other parameters can also be adjusted. The keystone correction and other settings need to be completed in the menu. If "Auto Keystone" still feels "positive", you can use manual correction to make up. The remote control is used throughout the operation for convenience and speed.



The i500 supports playback of 3D movies and requires 3D glasses and the appropriate source. Of course, choosing a 3D source directly from Cloud View is a convenient method. The 3D mode can be selected automatically. If there is a problem with the matching, manual adjustments can also be made.







In the i500 game center, you can find a lot of games for the i500 to play, but some can use the remote control, such as the classic tank battle, and some require additional accessories. Of course, the remote control's control gesture in the game is slightly less than that of a dedicated game controller. For example, in a game such as ski adventure, a certain number of ninth players will “grab the head” several times. It may be better to become familiar again. Regarding the number of resources, the i500's game center is relatively rich, and with its exclusive game accessories, it should have a good gaming experience. Of course, if you want a better gaming experience, try connecting your game console to the i500 and playing on an 80-inch giant screen.



Built-in karaoke APP, the fuselage also has MIC's wired interface, what at home K song, as long as it will not interfere with the neighbors, you can have! However, the microphone was not allocated in this experience.





After the U disk is inserted at the USB interface, it can be recognized automatically. Click “OK” to enter the media player. It is more convenient to operate. One of the nine pilots broadcast "Yao Xiong," and TVB did not have Caton or other problems during the play last year. The big screen watching Hong Kong drama feels great

Let's talk about actual playback.





In terms of contrast, the i500 has reached 10,000:1. This high contrast makes the projected screen clear and dark. Although the resolution does not reach 1080p, the details are clearly defined. The i500's cool color system is not deliberately curated and is more accurate and accurate. Thanks to "Eagle Eye", the i500 will not suffer from virtual focus during long play. In addition, the i500 also supports wireless projection of mobile phones or tablets. There is no difference between using it and a box.



In use, one of the nine feelings, if you use the i500 instead of TV to use, there are still some limitations, such as the i500 is not enough brightness, watching during the day, or some stretched, in the resolution from the 4K there are many gaps. But for some of these nine people who did not always install TVs, i500 is a good complement. Not only does it take up too much space to put the display, it doesn't need to buy another TV box, let alone tangled up with complicated wiring. The main thing is that you don’t need to go to the TV to get a bigger screen experience. Of course, the i500 is bound to have a big gap compared with the cinematic experience of the movie theater. But in the cold currents of the past few days, there was not such a saying: “The couple who will come out on this date to watch a movie date must be really in love!” On a cold winter day, enjoying a warm hearted movie at home is also a good choice.



Compared to emerging micro-project manufacturers, BenQ is no doubt more mature in projection technology, and short-throw projection (80-inch at 1 meter) is ideal for use in small houses and even common places such as bedrooms. The function of Bluetooth speakers is also considered the icing on the cake. . Without too much space, you can arrange a "video room" for yourself. Why not?
