Both PS5 and Series X can do 1080p at 120 and 240Hz and the projector did support these rates, so I'm not sure where the claim that consoles are limited to only 60Hz comes from. On the other hand, 4k 60Hz is pretty much limited by DLP technology, so if the point is 4k gaming, then yes, it's 60Hz only, and that's why there's no HDMI 2.1 port. I was disappointed that you didn't mention picture quality in details and how colors were accurate compared to a monitor setup.
What are your thoughts about the fan noise? I have heard a lot of bad things about this projectors fan noise. People say the picture quality is superb but fan noise is extremely bad. Esp. At 4k 60Hz. What are ur thoughts?
Great movie projector very very colour accurate better than the 3100i Great for single player games 4k 60hz If pc gaming you can do 120hz at 1440p just the sweet spot especially with a 120 inch screen buttery smooth gaming
@@BeyondtheBox1 if your gaming on ultra settings with ray tracing enabled 240hz is non existent. My 4090 can barely do 120hz at 1440p with Alan wake 2 ray tracing everything maxed out. Depends on the games you play,, this projector is suited for playing Single player games not multiplayer games lol
It’s a shame they marketed this as a gaming projector with only HDMI 2.0.

BenQ should be more transparent about the gaming limitations.
The 16ms input lag is decent, but gamers deserve better.
The 60Hz refresh rate is a real letdown for gaming enthusiasts.
I wish they hadn’t marketed this as a gaming projector.

Fan noise ain’t that noticeable
