The BenQ V5010i is a premium 4K RGB laser TV projector designed to bring an immersive cinematic experience directly into the living room. With 4K UHD 3840 × 2160 resolution, up to a 150-inch screen, 2500 ANSI lumens brightness, and an advanced RGB laser light source, the V5010i delivers highly detailed visuals with vibrant colours and impressive contrast.
Designed for serious home cinema enthusiasts and gamers, the V5010i combines BenQ CinematicColor technology, 95% BT.2020 colour coverage, 98% DCI-P3, 100% Rec.709, and 30-bit colour with 1.07 billion colours. These technologies help reproduce cinematic colours with the accuracy intended for modern HDR content.
BenQ’s HDR-PRO technology further enhances image quality through multiple contrast-control techniques, including Global Contrast Enhancer, Local Contrast Enhancer and Dynamic Black. The projector also supports HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, allowing compatible content to benefit from scene and frame-level HDR optimization.

Combined with 4K resolution, a large-screen presentation and advanced colour performance, it provides an engaging gaming and entertainment experience.
Up to 150-Inch 4K UHD Big-Screen Experience
The BenQ V5010i transforms your living room into a large-format entertainment space with support for screens of up to 150 inches.
Its 3840 × 2160 4K UHD resolution provides four times the pixel count of Full HD, delivering sharp details across movies, streaming content, games and other high-resolution sources.
The large projected image is ideal for:
- Home cinema
- 4K movie streaming
- Sports viewing
- Console gaming
- PC gaming
- Family entertainment
- Large-screen presentations
The 16:9 native aspect ratio is optimized for modern television content, movies, games and streaming services.
RGB Laser Technology for Long-Lasting Colour
The V5010i uses an advanced RGB laser light source rather than a traditional lamp-based projection system.
The RGB laser architecture helps deliver strong colour volume and vibrant colour reproduction while providing a rated light-source life of up to 20,000 hours in the supplied operating modes.
RGB Laser Benefits
- Long-lasting light source
- Consistent colour performance
- High colour volume
- Strong brightness
- Instant digital projection experience
- No conventional lamp replacement requirement
The long-lasting laser source makes the V5010i suitable for frequent home cinema and entertainment use.
2500 ANSI Lumens for Bright, Detailed Images
With 2500 ANSI lumens brightness, the V5010i is designed to produce a bright and detailed image across a large screen.
The high brightness level helps maintain image visibility when ambient light is present, while the projector’s HDR and contrast technologies work to preserve detail across bright and dark areas.
This makes the V5010i suitable for dedicated home theaters as well as living-room environments.
2,500,000:1 Contrast for Deeper Blacks
The V5010i delivers a 2,500,000:1 FOFO contrast ratio with light-source dimming, helping create a wider separation between dark and bright areas.
High contrast is particularly important for cinematic content because it helps reveal details in shadows while maintaining strong highlights.
The projector further enhances contrast through BenQ’s HDR-PRO technologies.
HDR-PRO for Advanced HDR Performance
BenQ’s HDR-PRO technology uses multi-stage light-control techniques to optimize HDR image quality.
The system is designed to improve contrast without simply increasing brightness, helping preserve details across different areas of the image.
HDR-PRO combines several technologies:
- Global Contrast Enhancer
- Local Contrast Enhancer
- Dynamic Black
Together, these technologies help create a more balanced and dynamic HDR presentation.
Global Contrast Enhancer
The Global Contrast Enhancer optimizes contrast across dark, mid-tone and bright areas using customized curves.
This helps improve overall image depth while maintaining a balanced presentation across the frame.
The technology is particularly useful for cinematic content containing a wide range of brightness levels.
Local Contrast Enhancer
The Local Contrast Enhancer analyzes more than 1,000 independent regions per frame and applies tailored contrast enhancement to individual areas.
This allows different portions of the image to be optimized independently rather than applying one global adjustment across the entire frame.
The result is designed to preserve greater detail across both dark and bright areas of compatible HDR content.
Dynamic Black
Dynamic Black dynamically adjusts the projector’s light output according to the scene and content being displayed.
This allows darker scenes to benefit from improved black-level presentation while bright scenes can retain the required luminance.
The technology helps maintain a more cinematic balance between brightness and contrast.
HDR10+ Frame-by-Frame Optimization
The V5010i supports HDR10+, in addition to HDR10 and HLG.
HDR10+ uses dynamic metadata to optimize HDR presentation according to the content being displayed. This can improve detail reproduction in both bright and dark portions of compatible HDR10+ video.
Supported HDR Formats
- HDR10+
- HDR10
- HLG
This makes the V5010i suitable for modern 4K HDR streaming and home cinema content.
95% BT.2020 & 98% DCI-P3 Colour Coverage
The V5010i is designed for cinematic colour reproduction with a wide colour gamut.
BenQ specifies:
- Up to 95% BT.2020 colour coverage
- 98% DCI-P3 coverage
- 100% Rec.709 coverage
- 30-bit colour
- 1.07 billion colours
The wide colour space helps reproduce rich reds, greens, blues and subtle tonal variations with greater accuracy.
This is particularly valuable for:
- 4K HDR movies
- Cinematic content
- Streaming
- Gaming
- Professional-looking home cinema
- High-quality photography and video playback
CinematicColor for Director-Accurate Colours
BenQ’s CinematicColor technology focuses on reproducing colours according to established cinema colour standards.
The combination of wide colour coverage and professional tuning is designed to preserve the original visual intent of movies and other cinematic content.
This helps create a more authentic viewing experience for users who want their home cinema setup to reproduce film colours with greater precision.
11-Level Colour Temperature Tuning
The V5010i provides advanced colour temperature tuning with 11 levels of white-balance control across different brightness levels.
This allows users to fine-tune the display for more accurate mid-tone colours and adapt the image according to personal preferences or viewing conditions.
It provides additional flexibility for enthusiasts who want greater control over colour reproduction.
24P Playback for Cinematic Motion
Most movies are produced at 24 frames per second. The V5010i supports 24P playback, allowing compatible high-definition sources to be displayed at their native 24fps cadence.
This helps preserve the original cinematic motion characteristics and minimizes unwanted judder caused by inappropriate frame-rate conversion.
24P playback is particularly valuable for movie enthusiasts who want a more authentic cinema presentation.
Ultra-Short Throw 0.25 Throw Ratio
The V5010i features an extremely short 0.25 throw ratio, allowing a large image to be projected from a relatively short distance.
This makes it particularly useful for living rooms and dedicated home cinema spaces where conventional projectors may require significant distance from the screen.
The fixed lens uses:
- F/2.0 aperture
- 2.40mm focal length
- Fixed zoom
The short-throw design helps make large-screen projection more practical in compact rooms.
Flexible Keystone Adjustment
The projector supports 2D keystone adjustment with:
- Auto vertical adjustment up to ±30°
- Horizontal adjustment up to ±30°
This provides greater flexibility when positioning the projector and helps simplify image alignment.
Gaming with Ultra-Low Input Lag
The V5010i is designed to support both cinematic entertainment and high-speed gaming.
Its supplied input-lag specifications include:
- 5ms at 1080p 240Hz
- 13ms at 1080p 120Hz
- 17.9ms at 1080p 60Hz
- 17.9ms at 4K 60Hz
The 1080p 240Hz mode is particularly useful for competitive gaming where rapid response is important.
Auto Low Latency Mode
The V5010i can detect Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) signals from compatible gaming consoles.
When a supported console sends an ALLM signal, the projector can automatically switch to a low-latency configuration.
This reduces the need to manually change settings when moving between movies and gaming.
Gaming Picture Modes
The V5010i provides dedicated gaming picture options, including:
- Game
- HDR Game
These modes are designed to optimize image and latency characteristics for gaming content.
Combined with the projector’s low input lag and large-screen presentation, they provide an engaging gaming experience for compatible consoles and PCs.
