BenQ X3100i 3300-Lumen XPR UHD 4K 4LED DLP Smart Console Gaming Projector

The BenQ X3100I is a 4K gaming projector created for players who want their console titles to fill an entire wall without sacrificing responsiveness. It relies on an XPR pixel-shifting DLP engine and a 4LED light source to produce Ultra HD detail, while brightness is rated at 3300 lumens so the image holds up in a living room that still has some ambient light. Color accuracy is just as impressive, with coverage of the full DCI-P3 gamut, making expansive open-world scenery, stylized art, and cinematic cut-scenes look as intended.

Competitive play is where the projector really stands out. When you switch to 1080p at 240 Hz, input lag drops to 4.2 ms, a level usually reserved for high-end gaming monitors. The Auto Game Mode detects a connected console and loads the picture and latency settings you prefer, so there is no menu diving when friends drop by for a match.

Connectivity is built around consoles. Three HDMI 2.0b ports let you keep a PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch attached at once, and an eARC-enabled port can pass Dolby Atmos to a compatible sound system for a more enveloping audio stage. If you prefer a cleaner setup, the internal speakers use Bongiovi DPS processing to generate a surprisingly spacious 3D effect.

Streaming is ready out of the box through integrated Android TV. You can jump into 4K shows on the major services, queue up a YouTube walkthrough, or cast content from a phone without adding a separate media box.

Installation options are flexible. A vertical lens shift range of 40 to 60 percent, a 1.3× optical zoom, and a throw ratio that spans 1.15 to 1.5 let you hit a 100-inch or larger screen whether the projector ends up on a coffee table or a ceiling mount. The solid-state 4LED light source is rated for up to 20,000 hours, which means you can game four hours a night for more than a decade before thinking about maintenance.

Whether you are setting up a dorm room theater, upgrading a family game room, or outfitting a dedicated gaming space, the X3100I combines picture quality, speed, and convenience in a way that makes large-format gaming simple.
