BenQ X1300i GAMING PROJECTOR REVIEW 2021 | 4K

[@muddasheep]

Oh that looks like an awesome projector! One thing you didn't mention (or maybe I missed it?) was fan noise, how noisy is it?

[@AdamDuffArt]

Good question - it was noticeable but easily ignorable - the sound of the game easily drowned it out

[@muddasheep]

@@AdamDuffArt Thanks! Really enjoyed the review

[@gx12]

Great review. Any chance you could review the new 4K BenQ x3000i? It can handle 1080p at 240hz.

[@justincohen8692]

Love the reflection of the flowers in the projector. Can't wait for your Magma Studio review!

[@josephsantoyo7486]

your honesty is a breath of fresh air.

[@VeeHausen]

Mate...I just love your videos man....particularly on how you convey yourself....I just get you and your video just enhances that...really cool man! This projector looks freakin amazing, especially when you were gaming, so so cinematic! Fun times man!

[@brandonjinkins4456]

This looks like an awesome projector! I've been looking at the Cosmos Nebula 4k by Anker, so I'm glad you've posted this review. One concern I have though is, the Anker seems to lack HDMI 2.1, which apparently is a big deal if one is planning to pair this with a next gen console. Does this BenQ support it? I see ports that say HDMI 2.2, but that's a new one on me- I'm not sure what that means?

[@RaMpArT02]

This projector is native 1080p 120Hz. It has HDMI 2.0b ports and what you (miss)read is that it supports HDCP 2.2 . That's the copyright protection protocol.

Benq is the king of gaming monitors and projectors.

[@littleripper312]

I started using projectors about a year ago. Got a cheap one just to test the waters and even the cheap one was better than watching on a large TV. After 120inch screen I can't go back. Got a BenQ one for about $1500 cad shortly after and it's been amazing! I keep seeing large TVs that are 85 inch but I keep thinking I would still rather watch on my 120 inch projector. Also it's easier to replace and move a small projector. If the TV ever needs to be moved it's huge.

[@crezzlin]

Thanks for the review.. is this a 4K projector? Ta

[@sonofevil77]

I've been using a Ht2050a projector for a few years and this thing here looks fantastic!

[@anthonymark4818]

Hey did hear about the New OPTOMA UHD38? I would love your thoughts on this. I stupidly bought a viewsonic 747 it's straight trash and keeps over heating and shutting of I've replaced it twice already via viewsonic and all three didn't work.

[@Beamber]

Did the rainbow effect bother you

[@RaphaelAvant]

Unfortunately, I don't have good space so it wouldn't be good for me, but what you demonstrated looked out standing. I would love to see it work in person. Thank you for the review.

[@GokuInstinct1]

I don't have the space either but I'm gonna use it with a Yardmaster Elite Screen outdoors whenever I go to a friend's home and we want to watch football, soccer, or UFC fights. Also, play some Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart!

[@rickshs7613]

Which one is better for ps5? This one or benq tks700sti?

[@jasontam5922]

Chromatic Aberration, you lean something new everyday. Thanks Adam!

[@X7007]

Hi, important question! Does it support 3D+HDR? and I'm not talking about 3D bluray, I'm talking about TAB 3D+HDR@120hz. can you enable 3D manually and still get HDR?

[@hakershock1]

What is X1300i difference between 4k projector ,is it worth to buy?

[@МаксимРазгуляй]

what about the rainbow effect? is it noticeable in dynamic and fast games?

[@GokuInstinct1]

Why didn't you mention how big it is compared to most projectors? I can already tell it's pretty big on the video but it looks even bigger in front of me. That thing is a beast. I was trying to figure out why and I think it's because it's the "world's first" 4LED projector but I'm not sure. Definitely worth mentioning that it will be hard to carry around to a friend's house.

[@brootalbap]

That's a really helpful review. I wanted to get a beamer for playing (and watching movies) for years, but early and common office projectors are just not fit for gaming (contrast, lag, resolution) so I just stopped looking for one at some point. One question left open for me: Could you rig up a switch/ other consoles to the projector instead of a tv or do you need extra adapters for the cables? IE can this fully replace a tv for console gaming?

[@GokuInstinct1]

A TV doesn't connect to a projector. The projector replaces the TV so you can directly connect a Nintendo Switch via an HDMI cable.

[@2Timothy2.15]

Will the slot for the Android stick fit an Amazon Firestick? Or can Netflix be sideloaded to the included Android stick?

[@AdamDuffArt]

Not sure, but I personally am not a fan of the fire stick - or any Amazon devices to be honest

[@MrSuperman258401]

I know someone that did the fire stick on tk850i, but had to get small cable adapter for it to plug in...

[@IvanBurkevych]

Hi! I have a question: does it have a build-in WiFi Adapter? Or how to connect this Projektor to the Internet?

[@WildGhoul]

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick on this?

[@MrSuperman258401]

I know a guy that did it on their tk850i, just needed a short cable to plug into the power

[@GlaciusDreams]

I thought that projector is pixel-shift 4K?

[@whichri79]

the coupon code didn't work for me :(

[@purextreme5460]

Can it play 3D?

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Unfortunately it's not short throw and it's not 4K. :(

[@michaelsnelgrove8943]

I was wondering how good it does in ambient lighting ???

[@GokuInstinct1]

They have a 4k version called the TK700STi if you need a gaming projector. The refresh rate isn't as good as this one though at 16ms vs 8.3ms.

[@MrSuperman258401]

@@GokuInstinct1 actually same input lag. The tk700sti is 4k&1080p 60hz at 16.67 ms 1080p 120hz 8.3 ms 1080p 240hz 4 ms

[@MrSuperman258401]

@@michaelsnelgrove8943 it's pretty brighter so just depends on size, screen and content....

[@whichri79]

I have a hard time with my projector set-up because my young kids threaten to break everything. Even trying to draw on my pure white screen.

Did I click because my name is Ben? Psshhh no 🙄😂

[@pierrick1705]

The title of the video mislead me into thinking this was a 4K projector... thanks for wasting time :D
