Home Theater Projector in Canada: Sony Laser vs BenQ Cinema

A home theater projector in Canada is a cinema lens: native or 4K-class image, controlled light, and a screen that is not an impact fabric. This guide is for buying the projector. Installation is a separate service: home theater installation in Toronto.

Golf bays use short-throw golf models. Do not buy from this list for an impact screen, use golf simulator projectors instead.

How to choose a home theater projector in Canada

Buy against the room, not a lumen marketing number.

1. Screen width and gain: cinema fabric, not golf impact material.
2. Throw: distance from a real mount point to the screen. Keystone is not a substitute for throw.
3. Light: windows, recessed cans, and TV-room lamps. Laser helps in a dedicated room; it does not beat uncovered south glass.
4. Resolution you will see: native 4K (Sony SXRD) vs 1080p HDR LED (HT2060) vs 4K-class DLP (TK705i / W2720I).
5. Noise and placement: living-room installs often need lens shift so the unit is not in the middle of the ceiling.

Sony VPLXW5000ES — native 4K laser

The VPLXW5000ES is the cinema SKU that belongs in a dedicated or well-controlled room: native 4K SXRD, HDR, 2000 lumens, laser, black, $6,599.81, 9 in stock.

Choose it when the screen is a real theater surface, seating is fixed, and you want a long-life light source rather than a lamp. It is not a golf projector and it is not a bright-room living-room TV replacement.

BenQ HT2060 — 1080p HDR LED for a media room

The HT2060 is the in-stock 1080p cinema unit: 2300 lumens, HDR LED, lens shift, built-in speaker, 1.3x zoom, 3-year warranty, $2,347.86.

Use it when the budget is a media room, not a reference cinema, and 1080p on a moderate screen is enough. Do not put it on a 16 ft golf impact screen that is the AH700ST’s job on the golf projector guide.

BenQ 4K home entertainment (TK705i and W2720I)

When you want 4K-class BenQ without Sony money, the live alternatives are the TK705i (3000 lm, 4K HDR) and the W2720I (4K, 2500 lm). Confirm throw on the product page against your mount. These are entertainment / cinema lenses, not golf short-throw units.

FAQ

What home theater projector should I buy in Canada?

Dedicated cinema: Sony VPLXW5000ES. Media room on a budget: BenQ HT2060. Confirm throw before you pay.

Do you ship home theater projectors across Canada?

Yes. These SKUs are in the Shopify catalog and ship from the Vaughan operation. Installation is optional and quoted separately for Toronto / GTA rooms.

Is a 4K laser required?

Required only if the screen is large enough and the room is dark enough to show it. 1080p HDR LED is still the right HT2060 use case. Native 4K laser is the Sony use case.

Can I use a golf projector in a home theater?

You can display a movie on it. Colour, throw, and screen type are still golf-first. Buy a cinema model for cinema, a golf model for golf.
