In recent years, many manufacturers have focused on designing smart TVs for gaming. However, BenQ has seen a significant gap in the gaming projector market. The BenQ X3000i is a short throw 4K projector with some very interesting features to get the most out of your PlayStation 5, your Xbox Series or even your PC.
This is the BenQ X3000i 4K Smart Gaming Projector
BenQ has the perfect ally for your man cave ready for reservation. This is the BenQ X3000i projector, a device designed to play video games. It has a nice white cube shape. The front is dark and the lens is in the upper left corner.
Resolution and main features
The product weighs about 6.4 kg and uses DPL (Digital Light Processing) projection technology . It has 4K resolution and its refresh rate will depend fundamentally on the resolution we choose. With UHD resolution, we will reach a maximum of 60 Hz , while, if we go down to Full HD, we will have 4 milliseconds of response and a maximum rate of 240 frames per second .
Brightness and color space
On the other hand, the projector has a maximum brightness of 3000 lumens . The contrast of the device is 500,000:1. According to BenQ, this model is capable of fully covering the DCI-P3 spectrum. If you are wondering how the BenQ X3000i behaves with darker tones, the team has a system of algorithms capable of optimizing light delivery to make black tones look darker and more contrasty.
Lamp, perspective correction and projection size
The X3000i lamp has a useful life of about 20,000 hours , which could be extended to 30,000 if we use the Eco mode. If you are going to use the projector on a low table, the equipment has 2D keystone correction , guaranteeing that you get a projection rectangular regardless of where you place the device.
Its 1.3x zoom will allow you to generate a projection between 30 and 300 inches . In addition, you can start using it right out of the box, since it has two side speakers from the BenQ treVolo series with a power of 5W , guaranteeing quality stereo and dynamic sound.
Smart features and connectivity
It is also not far behind in connectivity and Smart TV functions. The X3000i comes with its own dongle that turns the device into a “smart projector” with Android TV . Thanks to this, we will be able to install applications and games from the Google store, as well as make use of different streaming services that we have contracted.
On the other hand, the equipment has two HDMI 2.0b connectors compatible with the HDCP 2.2 standard. Also, the second connector is ARC compatible. It also has optical out, a headphone jack, USB power, and an RS-232 connector in case you need to plug in an old device. Finally, it has Wi-Fi 802.11ac and also Bluetooth 4.2.
