I'd be curious to know why you think this will make it, technically speaking here, a good grading projector too. Probably will need software like NeoDCP Player to send DCI compliant output to it. I don't know so asking.
You don't need any DCP player if you want to use projector in a grading suite. DCP players are needed when you receive DCP package as final product and want to see it. You can still Resolve for this as well if DCP in no-protected (or with easyDCP plugin for protected ones).
For grading suite projector is the same a monitor when it comes to conenction. It will have HDMI/DP + SDI inputs (if it's a professional model), so you connect it to any video card or GPU itself.
If you use Resolve then you just connect it through BM card. Then you calibrate projector to Rec.709, P3 etc.
Whatever format you work in Resolve you set you projector to the same one.
The main issue with projector will be accuracy. If you think about monitors and distance between prosumer and professional the same applies to projectors (which are even more expensive). So finding relatively cheap projector which calibrates well is not going to be easy at all.
Mentioned BenQ is way too cheap to be anything close to reference. It's like trying to use average BenQ monitor for grading
It all depends on project rank. You probably easily looking at 10K$+.
I would stick with good monitor though- not sure why you need projector. You either work based on wow factor with semi accurate projector or be professional and grade on less wow monitor, which is accurate.
