A Gaming Projector!? | BenQ X300G Review

[@comiccasper3053]

Love it! Projectors have really come a long way, thanks for the review Pat.

Great review. You covered many points I was wondering about. I decided on the x500i over the x300g because of the slightly higher advertised brightness and 4LED vs. 3LED on the x300g. Also I'd imagine the x500i maintains a better quality image at 120" then the x300g does. But if pure portability and autofocus/keystone is better you, then I imagine the x300g is what you're after.

Agreed I think I'll go for the X500i. Plus I don't think we want something behind our seating area, so in front and everything you said it's a better option it seems. Essentially just a lower brightness X3100i without lens shift and slightly lower color, but probably not noticeable.

Would love to see a direct comparison in brightness between x300g and x500i. Rest x300g has better speakers, autofocus and 3d keystone.

@@justinbeamon6624 I've been hoping TheHookUp channel would make these comparisons. He has the equipment and makes really in depth reviews.

@@overnightdelivery from pcmag x500i review... Rainbow artifacts-the red/green/blue flashes that single-chip projectors are prone to showing-were both frequent and obvious enough in movies and video that those who see them easily, as I do, and are annoyed by them, might consider them a problem. If this is a potential issue for you, be sure to buy from a dealer who allows returns without a restocking fee, so you can test it out for yourself.

Great, low input lag, high refresh rate

[@DengrayKai211]

is this 60hz?

[@TechManPat]

Up to 120

[@knifeyonline]

Would you take a $2000 projector with you on holiday?

[@TechManPat]

I mean I take similarity priced, laptop, iPhone already so…. In a box that’s secure (not on a plane) then yeah absolutely:)

[@knifeyonline]

@@TechManPat that's a good point. I think my only hesitation is i've had a laptop pushed off the sofa, and I've had a projector pushed off the coffee table. Only in one did the glass smash into a million bits. But i've never had one that cost $2000! Maybe that's the key!

You can't add a sonos sound bar and ps5/xbox to this.. they need extra hdmi earc

[@TechManPat]

You go to sound bar via pass through in HDMI, thats the only way. Soundbar has to have pass through
