Benq X1300i 3000-Lumen HDR Full HD DLP Projector with Android TV Wireless Adapter

The BenQ X1300i is an excellent gaming projector thanks to a bright LED light source, resonant sound, and video and audio presets fine-tuned for first-person shooters, RPGs, and sports games. And it's great for movies and streaming TV too.

  Super-bright LED rated at 3,000 ANSI lumens, Low input lag, Excellent speakers and onboard audio processing, Video/audio presets for three categories of gaming, Android TV dongle included, Accepts 4K UHD and HDR input

  Relatively light black level, Some rainbow artifacts

Ultimately, the BenQ X1300i isn’t the best gaming projector in its price range, with the Optoma UHD38 and its significantly lower input lag and improved picture quality holding onto the throne.

The BenQ X1300i's 120Hz refresh rate is key to its gaming qualifications. It turns an otherwise standard 1080p projector into something you actually want to play competitive games on. It isn't the cheapest of its kind, but it is a well-rounded projector package for the money.

A great projector truly aimed at gamers.

  8ms input lag, 120Hz refresh rate, Three gaming modes for different genres, Great picture quality

  1080p picture at a 4K price, Need to self install included Android dongle, Over the four-figure mark for price

The BENQ X1300i is a 3,000 lumen Full HD (1920 x1200) 4LED DLP laser projector with a rated lamp life of 20,000 in Normal mode.

With a remarkably clear picture, representative color gamut, and 120Hz refresh rates, the BenQ x1300i punches way above its weight. The 3000 lumen LED will last far longer than any bulb solution, and the only cost is blacks that aren’t as deep as other solutions.

• +

  3000 lumens is very bright for an LED projector, Solid color representation across the gamut, Delivers on 8ms and 120Hz claims, VERY long LED life and 3 year warranty, Crisp and clean image quality

  No native Netflix support, Lacks black depth, Why won’t Wolfenstein launch?

BenQ’s cuboid X1300i projector is aimed squarely at gamers, but it has the picture capabilities to make a great home projector for anyone watching TV shows and films, too. The smart platform has some blind spots – most notable the lack of Netflix – but overall the charms and capabilities of this...

• +

  Sharp and colorful picture, Gamer-centric features, Manual zoom

• -

  No Netflix, Smart platform issues, Not ultra short-throw

• +

  Great all round projector for gaming and movies.

  Sound is good but I will probably add surround sound system to beef up
