BenQ has long occupied the top spot in the world of gaming projectors, but its latest flagship takes this pedigree in speedy screening and bumps it up with a few handy extra features of its own. This is an incremental update over the X3000i model that’s ruled over our best projector for gaming rankings for a couple of years now, boosting brightness, adding vertical lens shift, and upping the contrast.
There are more noticeable additions to this year’s model as well - a slick settings interface that allows you to use specialist-tuned configurations for certain games, and an upgraded streaming dongle provides that sweet sweet Netflix access. I’ve spent the last three weeks running my PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Asus ROG Ally through 2024’s device, to see just how it fares against the competition.
