The best projector for big-screen gaming
Our pick
BenQ X3100i
The BenQ X3100i is the best balanced gaming pick because it combines consistently low latency, 4K60 and high-refresh inputs, wide color, Android TV and useful lens shift. The TK710 is the brighter laser value, while the LX700-4K favors competitive response over movie accuracy.
Why it fits this need
- Input lag at the resolution actually used
- 4K60 plus 120Hz or 240Hz signal support
- Main trade-off
- Its tall 15-pound chassis is much bulkier than most lifestyle models.
- Choose BenQ TK710 instead when
- Bright-room gaming value
More reasons behind this pick
- VRR behavior and artifacts
- Color, contrast and placement outside Game Mode
Low-latency 4K60 and high-refresh projector picks for consoles and PCs, with the picture-quality tradeoffs made explicit.
