The LED light source delivers 2,600 lumens and lasts up to 20,000 hours in normal operation without ever needing a replacement. For living room evenings with dimmed lights, spontaneous movie nights and gaming sessions, the GP520 offers a straightforward all-in-one experience on the big screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoogle TV built in – Netflix, Disney+, YouTube directly on the projector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLED light source with 20,000 h – no lamp changes, low maintenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2,600 lumens for movie nights with ambient light or in dimmed rooms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHDR10+ for dynamic metadata and optimised tone mapping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eALLM: games consoles automatically switch to low-latency mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeARC for lossless sound to a soundbar or AV receiver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAutofocus and automatic keystone correction for quick setup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoogle Cast for wireless streaming directly from Cast-enabled apps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications: what the BenQ GP520 is ideal for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMovie and series nights in the living room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 2,600 lumens and Google TV, the GP520 delivers a convincing picture for evening viewing in the living room – even when a little ambient light is still coming through the windows. HDR10+ adapts tone mapping scene by scene to the projector's capabilities, so highlights and shadows look much more nuanced than with static HDR10. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ run directly via the Google TV interface, without an external player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGaming with automatic latency optimisation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) detects as soon as a games console sends a signal and automatically switches the projector to its optimised game mode – no manual switching needed. The HDMI 2.1 interface provides the bandwidth needed for modern consoles. If you need the lowest possible response time, position the projector physically correctly and avoid digital keystone correction: keystone processing increases signal delay by several milliseconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmart home cinema without installation hassle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP520's autofocus sharpens the image automatically after switching on, and automatic 2D keystone correction compensates for vertical placement deviations – the system also corrects for obstacles in the image area. The compact housing (241 × 225 × 151 mm, 3.7 kg) can be placed flexibly on a coffee table, sideboard or tripod. For a permanent setup, we recommend ceiling mounting with a suitable bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePicture quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP520 uses DLP technology with a 0.47-inch DMD chip. Using XPR pixel shift, the chip produces 4K UHD output with 3,840 × 2,160 pixels – the native chip works with a resolution of 2,560 × 1,200 pixels and shifts these rapidly to display all 4K pixels. For most seating distances and image sizes from 100 inches, this difference from native 4K is not noticeable during normal film viewing. With 2,600 lumens, the GP520 is suitable for darkened rooms and living room evenings with ambient light; for full daylight use, we recommend models with 3,500 lumens or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHDR10+ supports dynamic metadata that controls tone mapping scene by scene. The contrast ratio of 200,000:1 describes the system's dynamic value; DLP projectors in this class deliver strong black levels in normal operation that impress in darkened rooms. The LED light source produces a naturally wide colour gamut without colour wheel artefacts, as no rotating colour wheel is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving images are displayed without dedicated frame interpolation – for classic film productions at 24 fps, this is the most natural approach, as there is no soap opera effect. 3D playback is possible via DLP Link (compatible 3D glasses required, not included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2× HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 2.2) – one with eARC for lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio to a soundbar or AV receiver; both ports support the bandwidth needed for modern consoles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1× USB-A (5 V \/ 1.2 A) and 1× USB-C (video input and optional power supply over a single cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1× audio out (3.5 mm jack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLAN (RJ-45): network connection and firmware updates via your home network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Wi-Fi (for streaming, Google Cast and software updates)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth: wireless audio output to Bluetooth speakers or headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGaming performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) activates the optimised game mode automatically as soon as a console such as the PS5 or Xbox Series X sends a compatible signal. Maximum input signal support is 240 Hz – we recommend checking with your console or PC at which resolution this value is reached. With a physically correctly aligned projector, signal delay remains at the native level of the processing chip. If you also need variable refresh rates (VRR), our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/gaming-beamer\"\u003egaming projectors\u003c\/a\u003e include specialised models with FreeSync or G-Sync support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP520 features an integrated 2 × 12 W stereo speaker system (24 W in total). This is sufficient for spontaneous movie nights and everyday use. If you want the full cinema experience, use the eARC output (HDMI) for a soundbar or AV receiver: eARC transmits lossless formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio uncompressed. Alternatively, the GP520 connects via Bluetooth to wireless speakers or headphones – handy for late-night movies without cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmart features \u0026amp; streaming\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BenQ GP520 runs on Google TV – the current generation of Google's operating system with a personalised home screen, unified search across all streaming services and the full Google Play Store. Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and other services are pre-installed or can be added via app; there is no need for a separate streaming stick. Google Assistant responds to voice commands via the remote control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoogle Cast (Chromecast built-in) lets you stream content wirelessly from Cast-enabled apps on your smartphone directly to the projector – your smartphone is not burdened, as the projector fetches the stream from the internet itself. Wi-Fi and LAN enable a stable network connection; for 4K streaming, we recommend the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band or a direct LAN connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup, projection \u0026amp; scope of delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP520's fixed lens has a fixed throw ratio of 1.2:1 – the distance to the screen directly determines the image size. Autofocus and automatic 2D keystone correction (vertical, up to ±40° horizontal) ensure that the image is quickly aligned correctly after switching on. For distortion-free projection, the projector should be aimed as directly as possible at the centre of the image. Models with optical lens shift offer additional flexibility for asymmetrical placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a further approx. 10–15 cm to the housing depth of 22.5 cm for cable connections at the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-responsive\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"table table-striped table-bordered table-hover table-sm\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:14px;margin:1em 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#A5EEA8;\"\u003e\n        \u003cth style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #068E52;text-align:left;color:#112C27;font-weight:600;background:#A5EEA8 !important;\"\u003eImage size (diagonal)\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #068E52;text-align:left;color:#112C27;font-weight:600;background:#A5EEA8 !important;\"\u003eImage width (approx.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #068E52;text-align:left;color:#112C27;font-weight:600;background:#A5EEA8 !important;\"\u003eThrow distance\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e80 inches (203 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e177 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e2.12 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#E6FFE9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e90 inches (229 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e199 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e2.39 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e100 inches (254 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e221 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e2.65 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#E6FFE9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e120 inches (305 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e265 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #c2e4c8;\"\u003e3.18 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor rooms with ambient light, an ALR (ambient light rejecting) screen is worthwhile, as it blocks stray light from the side and increases contrast even when the room is not fully darkened.
