All projectors have pros and cons, so there is zero 'best' model for everyone. That said, in the $500-$600 range you person very limited selection (roughly, utilised or reconditioned models) all for good home theatre projectors (See link all for recommended HT projectors -- all above your price range -- and elsewhere on the land site all for a buyers guide (2nd link) and projector reviews) since most at that price band are 'business projectors' with limited contrast ratio and picture processing quality. You want a projector with leastwise 2000:1 contrast ratio. Brightness isn't too critical (1000 lumens is enough) unless you plan to use it in a freedom with lights on/no window shades.
I'm reluctant to suggest specific projectors (since they might or may not be the best choice for you given your (unknown) peculiar desires), one worth considering, but at about $800 still slightly preceding your budget level, is the Benq W500 (See appraisal and comparisons and sources at the 3rd link). A severely desirable feature for a gamer is the $250 lamp replacement cost ... an important factor given the (possible) high usage.
Hope this helps.
I usually do not drop a leave a response, but after reading a few of the responses here Best Home theater projector for Movies and Games? | Home theater - Home theater 3D.
