All-New BenQ X Series Immersive Gaming Projectors Wow Gamers with Unprecedented Detail Performance

21 SEPTEMBER 2023 – BenQ, the global leading DLP 4K projector brand and innovator of digital lifestyle devices, today launched two all-new 4K HDR smart projectors for AAA console gaming in Europe, each optimised to immerse players in unprecedented levels of in-game audiovisual details in different rooms at home.

Dropping hot on the heels of BenQ X3000i, 2022’s hottest gaming projector, the new X3100i and X500i debut BenQ’s game-changing detail refinement engine, combining projector-optimised HDR-PRO, CinematicColor, and CinematicSound technologies to deliver unparallelled gaming experiences with greater sensory detail than previously possible.

“Our new X Series gaming projectors revolutionise the large-screen gaming market with genuine 4K HDR audiovisual performance and low input lag as the ultimate perceptivity platform for AAA gaming in various settings,” said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation. “The flagship X3100i creates ultimate dream game rooms without compromise and X500i transforms any small room into a gaming zone.”

At the heart of the X Series is BenQ’s novel in-game detail refinement technology, delivering fully immersive gaming experiences teeming with freshly revealed details and realism. True 4K HDR ultra-high resolution with 8.3 million distinct pixels complements proprietary projector-optimised HDR-PRO technology, utilising SSI Dynamic Black and HDR tone mapping techniques to produce vibrant contrast and lifelike shadows, revealing intricate details even in dim settings. And theatre-grade BenQ CinematicColor technology leverages 4LED high brightness and colour volume for spectacular colour rendition with super-wide colour gamut coverage of subtle hues up to 100% DCI-P3.

Precision tuned for gaming immersion, BenQ CinematicSound surrounds X Series gamers in directional sound from innovative symmetrical treVolo driver placement design and dedicated signal processing circuitry, creating a virtual 3D spatial audio environment full of intricate, lifelike sound effects as well as full, rich lows and mids for spellbinding in-game atmosphere. Delivered without delay via the world’s lowest input lag as fast as 4.16ms*, X Series visuals and audio empower gamers to perceive and react instantaneously for flawless victories.

*X3100i Support 4.2ms@240Hz / 8.33ms@120Hz of 1080p / 16.9ms@60Hz of 4K&2K. To minimise response time, set digital adjustments (such as keystone, overscan, etc.) to 0.

Perfectly tailored for any gaming system, X Series gaming projectors offer ultimate customisation with role-playing / shooter / sports/ racing game modes, Auto Game Mode to detect and optimise input lag and audiovisual settings for each console, SettingXChange for on-the-fly switching of preset colour settings for specific gaming titles, and a handy built-in FPS crosshair for precise targeting.

Moreover, BenQ X Series gaming projectors come with Google-certified Android TV and built-in Netflix, opening the world of endless entertainment including streaming apps, movies, shows, sporting events, and even more games, with eARC and S/PDIF support for transmitting full-resolution original audio to an external sound system.

Skinned with futuristic style to embody the essence of gaming, X Series gaming projectors are purpose-designed for easy, flexible installation with the right throw ratios, lens shift* or 2D keystone, and digital zoom to create the ultimate dream gaming paradise, transform a small game room, or build a spontaneous gaming nook anywhere.

*Vertical lens shift on X3100i only.
