@@akashagrawal9454 Both are very similar but picture quality on the ViewSonic I felt was better. Keep in mind that the BenQ's comes with a Android Stick whereas ViewSonic doesn't have that.
When I was in the military everyone in camp had a tv… but me. I remember taking my bmw with my projector and playing my games while out with my mates. Good times.
Great review. I appreciate your detailed analysis. I especially appreciate that you didn’t just stick to gaming but also tested how it does with TV series and movies. It’s fantastic that you compared it to its closest competitor for projector gaming Please test the short throw version of this projector. X2-4k.
If it’s equal to 1.200 nits, i think it’s quite bright. Samsung QN90B, which is one of the brightest televisions gives around 640 nits in 100% window continously. So, 1.200 nits of brightness is great.
@@PurgetheHeretic666 The brightness is going to depend on the screen size and color of the screen (white, grey, ALR, etc). Don't be fooled though, 100 nits is VERY bright in a dark room at say 120". Commercial cinemas are generally under 50 nits but they look brighter due to the size and amount of light. The bigger issue with these DLP projectors is the contrast which for this specific model is about 1500:1 native or ~3000:1 dynamic (think a bit better than an IPS gaming monitor, but not in the same league as FALD, Mini LED, or OLED).
X1 4K for me the winner looks better then benq x3000i for me, I own an Benq X3000i and a no go is that you can not do a firmware update yourself :-/ thanks for comparison and saving me from upgrading to Benq X3100i ;D
'X1 4K' i use to run projectors from about 2002 to 2010 , i would use them from everything from gaming (ps3) to tv to films , i think if i was to get a bigger house with a theater room , i would choose a projector over a tv . thanks for the review
Wow Viewsonic brand goes a long way back in time. Their projector offering here is impressive. The quality looks superior to the BenQ. Well done reviewed! like 53
The comparison with a OLED is interesting. For the same price as the projector you can get a very good old LG This makes me reconsider my choice of the X2 4K instead of a TV, but what tipped the balance in favor of the projector is that it's small, easy to move and store, whereas a TV is a big object (you need room).
Thanks for review. Good content Have you also tested the Optoma UHZ45, UHZ66 or newest UHZ55 projectors. Those are Laser. Im curious how they compare to this LED
Great review barring one big factor. The X1-4K is rated in LED Lumens of 2900 which is around 2150 ansi lumens considerably less than BenQs 3000 ansi lumen rating. Hence the price difference. Both great LED projectors but the BenQ will work far better with some ambient light. Only buy this if you have light controlled room to put it in.
Very true. Projector Central has the throw ratio and true ratings in nits. 148 nits x2-4k , 93 nits x1-4k. Only buy if for use in a dark room or go for the BenQ instead which is a lot brighter.
Has been a few years since I switched to an OLED from a projector, and I'm surprised they STILL don't have any 4K @ 120Hz with VRR options available. There are some great high end AVR options now that do it, so the projector is the only holdback to creating a serious HT gaming set-up. Not sure if any such projectors are even in development?
Hi what is your favorite video projector for gaming? I'm hesitating between the Viewsoni X2 4K and the Benq X3000i, which one would you recommend for the best colorimetry?
sometimes you're using it from left side, does that mean you're not using ultra-low lag mode while using it from an angle? since that disables keystone correction.
Still don't get why projectors (for gaming or not) have notoriously more input lag than a monitor or TV. Isn't it the same video processing technology, wether the pixels are projected through a magnifying lense or not?
Great review 🎉 did you run your black level test in normal or eco mode? Have you tried dynamic black 1 or 2 and how do the blacks improve in super dark movie scenes? Thanks
@@GeekStreet thanks for your reply, yeah I have an optoma led ldp and dynamic mode makes quite the difference and darkens the overall brightness for deeper blacks but at the expense of highlights, still better than grey space movie
I have this projector.. typical DLP impossible to focus on the whole area. Mine stays out of focus on the left (on the right when placed upside down). Return started.
Can you also tell how is X1-4K compared to Benq TK700STI, which is also a gaming Projector. I am in process of deciding which one is better manly if I want to also watch movies and use with Nintendo switch for gaming
One thing you have to know is these types of projectors are NOT 4K native , they use wobulation wich multiply pixels by 4 from a full hd DMD DC3 chip very quickly ; Native "4K" UHD projectors begins at the price of 5990 Euros/U.S Dollars (Sony SXRD XW5000 ES)
@Jeshyum Yes. It gets sub 20ms in 4k120hz in game-mode. It has a superior lens and is clearer/sharper. The viewsonic may beat it in contrast because it's DLP. But there is no rainbow effect or sparkle on the Epson.
@@deanwilliams433 I'm sure it's at the 1080P 240hz mode. Here's the measurements for the benq and they probably use the same DLP chip. 4K/60Hz @ 16.67ms, 1080p/240Hz @ 4.16ms, 1080p/120Hz @ 8.33ms, and 1080p/60Hz @ 16.67ms.
Let's face it. Projectors ARE great and eye friendly. BUT the bulb lifetime is HORRRRRRIBLE. You get, at the maximum, about 120 days of gaming nonstop. If you combine this with other usage the bulb will need to be replaced in about a year BUT you have to be able to buy them for your respective system which, over time, is not guaranteed. So get them beforehand and calculate that into the price.
So just to clarify i heard you say 2 hdmi 2.0 ports so no hdmi 2.1 any idea if that might be added in a later revision i feel like since its designed for xbox thats a bit of a miss
@GeekStreet yeah and I watched full video saw that it can do 120 fps on lower resolution and that's fine for me I mostly Plat racing games so fps is more important than resolution so I think I will be looking at getting 1 in the future
view sonic vs benq x3000i comparison. every time i paused it, i saw double images on the view sonic. meaning that the benq is putting out more frames. it's a better viewing experience, especially if you play games or watch sports..... (or maybe the camera's recording lense is out of sync.)
Would you recommend this or BenQ TK700Sti(includes Android TV dongle) projector to be used with Playstation 5 gaming and also for watching media such as movies, series from Prime video etc and RUclips videos :)
You need to get a real sim racing game to play with that direct drive wheel. There is no point in having that and playing forza. You are missing so much force feedback that an actual sim has. Although sim racing on a projector seems like a bad idea an yway
