Specifications And Features
The BenQ X3000i 1080p projector offers native 4K (3,840x2,160 pixels) picture quality at a 60Hz refresh rate and 16ms response time with HDR10 and HLG support. We were super impressed with the high contrast ratio of 50,000:1 and the fact that it supports a super-fast refresh rate of 240Hz at 1080p resolution with a 4ms response time, indicating that it is specially designed for gamers. Furthermore, the BenQ X3000i projector has the quick dimming and RGB colour adjustment option, supporting BenQ's Dynamic Black technology. In addition, the projector covers 100 per cent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.
The BenQ X3000i projector features a "4LED" light source that produces 3,000 ANSI lumens and 25% greater brightness and colour than a typical RGBRGB projector. In addition, the 4LED system is designed to improve the brightness of the 3LED ecosystem by adding a fourth blue "pump" and boosting the green light output. The LED projector's LED light source has a lifespan of 30,000 hours.
Performance
This projector delivers complete cinematic immersion for RPG. As we explored richly detailed ancient ruins, we were able to fully experience the subtlety as well as the intensity of the virtual world, along with powerful orchestral music and resounding bass. The FPS Mode helps mark nearby threats as the refined details produced by this projector reveal enemies hiding in shadows, which we found pretty helpful for a gamer. Moreover, the enhanced virtual surround stereo helped us locate gunshots, explosions, and approaching footsteps better. We also enjoyed the SPG model, which we believe is genuinely meant for real-time thrills.
Spectacularly lifelike grass, various skin hues, colourful uniforms, and emphasized features combined with announcers' crisp voices and the crowd's roar on this really do make for breathtaking sports action. We were also able to navigate our way well in the dark due to the HDR-PRO Dynamic Black technology, which delivers vivid contrast and detailed shadows even in the darkest of scenes as its algorithm optimizes light power to reveal the fine points in blackness. We also had a Black Details Enhancement of two degrees to help us unlock even more visibility in dark areas depending on which game we were playing.
Conclusion
The BenQ X3000i projector comes with 10W Benq treVolo speakers and Bongiovi Digital Power Station (DPS) technology for real-time sound optimization. The projector offers gaming options such as three different audio and video settings for first-person shooters, sports, and role-playing games. In addition, the X3000i offers three distinct game modes and a variety of gaming possibilities not found on other consoles. The projector also includes built-in assistance for Android TV, allowing you to watch streamed applications and other online material. The minimal lag and high refresh rate support at a low price make it really remarkable in its segment. Yes, it lacks HDMI 2.1 and 4K/120, but we'll remind you that it's within your budget.
