X3100i True 4K UHD 4LED Gaming Projector, 3300 ANSI Lumens, 4.2ms 1080p 240Hz, 100% DCI-P3, Preset Game Modes, Android TV, 10W TreVolo Speakers, Vertical Lens Shift, eARC, 3D

I was going to buy something cheaper but I ended up paying about $700 extra and going with this because we do some gaming. I don't use the included Android TV dongle, so this review is not relevant on that front. This is installed in a dedicated movie room receiving a signal from an Dolby Atmos receiver. We have an Xbox, a Switch, and main TV is supplied by a Google Chromecast. Interestingly, the Chromecast supplies a 4k signal no matter what the native quality is, so it always runs in 4k unless we are on a game. We really love this projector, it is so bright, we run it on eco mode all the time, and it's still bright enough to watch with the limited lighting on in the room. The picture is crisp, and with the vertical adjustment, it is really easy to get installed without using Keystone which reduces performance. We have it mounted on the ceiling. It starts up very quickly, however, with the connection it needs to make to the Chromecast, it's not really much faster than our old bulb-type projector, in the long run. It's just usable at full brightness faster. What I'm saying is, it starts up fast, but takes the same amount of time to connect. It does occasionally lose signal, but I cannot confirm where the source of that issue is. It reconnects in 15-20 seconds. Happens every couple days or so, could be the long cables, could be a bad connection, I don't know. It's not a major issue, and hasn't happened while gaming, only movies, so it may be a 4k transmission issue. It's very quiet. It is large for a projector in my experience, the box is about twice as large as our former projector. As for the value, I think it was worth it, I'm glad I bought it. That being said, I don't know how the other one I would have bought would have compared. I wish there were a few more settings like our old projector, but we haven't really needed to adjust anything. Maybe it's not the most perfect real life accurate color, but it's bright and vivid and awesome for watching movies and shows. And it seems like it makes Rocket League more responsive, that may be the low latency, I don't know, I'm not an expert. Very happy with this purchase, would buy again.

Is it expensive? Yes. Do I still get blown away by the picture every time I use it? Also yes. Obviously not for everyone, but this projector is incredible. Quiet, small, fairly easy to set up. We use it for PS5, Switch, Roku viewing and everyone that sees it is shocked. Incredible brightness while maintaining great black levels, zero jitter/artifacts/ghosting on fast moving sports or video games. If you can afford it, get it.

I recently upgraded my gaming setup with the BenQ X3000i True 4K UHD 4LED Gaming Projector, and it has been an outstanding experience. One of the most impressive aspects is its incredible brightness and color accuracy. Even without a traditional projector screen, projecting directly onto a wall, the image quality is stunning – the 3000 lumens brightness and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut bring games and movies to life with vivid, crisp visuals. With that being said, I would definitely like it even better if it had auto focus, but the focus dial is intuitive and easy to use so no point off in my opinion. It has been very quiet, and outside of start-up you can barely hear it when watching a movie or playing a game. The built-in 10W TreVolo speakers provide decent audio quality, but since it has eARC support you're better off driving high-quality audio through external speakers or a sound system. The BenQ X3000i really shines when it comes to gaming. The 1080p 240Hz capability and a low 4.2ms response time create an ultra-smooth, lag-free gaming experience, perfect for fast-paced action. I don't personally use the game modes, defaulting to HDR10 on all devices, but they could be useful for some people - especially for competitive FPS. The integration of Android TV offers convenient access to streaming apps, and it works as expected - this is also something I don't use as I have a GoogleTV/AppleTV hooked to my Onkyo receiver. Overall, It's a top-notch choice for gamers and movie enthusiasts alike. I am definitely a projector and BenQ fan now!

This has a great picture, sound could be better, setting up was a breeze, but with HDMI 2.0 lacks the next Gen feel I have a very high end pc, so the lack of 2.1 really hurt. BenQ offers settingsXchange but with few games available. No ethernet so a high speed internet is recommended. 3d was good enough. For the price you get better projectors with 120hz refresh rate and ethernet connections and HDMI 2.1. Picture quality was good in semi dark room, better in the dark

The video should speak for itself. I’m using a cheap pull down projector screen, the projector is only 10ft away, and the room isn’t pitch black. It looks phenomenal. The colors, the brightness, the sharpness, the contrast - it’s as good as my $4000 Samsung QLED TV, and it could get even better with a higher quality projector screen. I haven’t tried gaming on it yet, but I’m confident it’ll hold up well. Only downside is that the remote control/Android TV is quite slow, but I’m going to hook up my Apple TV which should speed up content browsing. I recommend asking ChatGPT for help getting the right projector for your screen size and throw distance. This projector works perfectly for me, but may not for you. I’m going to sleep with these rain videos up every night.

Love This!! Easy to setup, picture is Amazing! Comes with and movie stick, for subscriptions and free movie sites. Has multiple HDMI ports, various screen sizes, zooms, tilts; no need to move the projector around. Game play is wonderous. They shipped it in no time and packaged it with such care. I reached out to touch base with customer service to see how their system works, they were Very kind and anxious to help, was told just keep my receipt in case something came up. Good to know there is such a great team to help .

The picture quality is amazing for a projector. However it takes a while to input HDMI select. Switch to my Xbox it's says searching for input. I have to manually go to settings and hit auto input select a couple times before I get a connection. The 3d quality is good but to layered. There needs to be away to deal the 3D back a little for the distance you are away from screen. It's like sitting in the front row of movie theater watching 3D . And it has little screws to ceiling mount projector to ceilings mounts . The projector weights like 15lbs . But overall I like the projector

We love this projector for gaming and movies! It provides a wonderful experience, whether we're playing Switch games like Super Smash Bros and enjoying fun family time, or my husband is immersed in Elden Ring on the PS5. He's especially impressed with how well it reveals dark details that he can't see on a monitor. The vibrant colors and lag-free performance make it a hit with everyone. We strongly recommend it to PS5 players. We also enjoy watching Netflix and Disney+ together. Setting up the Android TV dongle was super easy, just took 2-3 minutes. The lens adjustment is very easy to use, and the image quality is perfect. The built-in speaker is clear and loud, so we don't need any extra speakers. This is truly a perfect projector.
