The Cinema-Grade Player’s Projector

The BenQ X3000i is a gaming-first 4K projector built for those who want the visual punch of a home cinema with the responsiveness of a gaming monitor. It’s one of BenQ’s most advanced entries in the living room gaming space, merging cinematic performance with specs tailored for fast-paced play on modern consoles and PCs.

At its core, the X3000i delivers true 4K HDR visuals at up to 3000 ANSI lumens, producing a bright, detailed image that holds up even in moderately lit rooms. But what really defines this projector is its low input lag; just 16 ms at 4K/60 Hz or 4 ms at 1080p/240 Hz, making it ideal for competitive players who demand instantaneous feedback.

Audio That Matches the Visuals

The BenQ X3000i’s 4LED light engine is one of its standout strengths, delivering exceptional color consistency and longevity. Rated for up to 30,000 hours of use with virtually no dimming over time. This advanced system produces richer tones and greater contrast than traditional lamp-based projectors, giving both games and films a vibrant, lifelike appearance.

Its 100% DCI-P3 color coverage ensures cinematic-grade accuracy, a rare achievement in the gaming projector category. The result is an image that captures subtle shadow details and deep color depth whether you’re exploring dark fantasy worlds or watching 4K HDR films. The treVolo-tuned stereo speakers add another layer of immersion, with clear vocals, strong midrange, and enough power to fill a room without distortion.

Android TV Built-in

The X3000i isn’t just about visual fidelity—it’s built for convenience. With Android TV integration, it comes preloaded with major streaming platforms, letting you switch from gaming to movie night without connecting extra devices. Wireless casting support adds flexibility for quick mirroring from phones, tablets, or laptops, making it just as comfortable in a living room as it is in a dedicated game space.

Its short throw lens delivers a massive 120-inch screen from just over 10 feet away, allowing big-screen immersion even in modest rooms. The projector’s cube-like chassis is designed for versatility: it looks clean on a shelf, works well on a table, and mounts easily to the ceiling. Whether set up for daily entertainment or weekend marathons, it adapts effortlessly to the space around it.

Balanced Power for Play and Cinema

Rounding out its design, the BenQ X3000i supports HDR10 and HLG formats, ensuring deeper contrast and more dynamic highlights across games and films alike. Dual HDMI 2.0 ports, USB-A, and optical audio output provide flexibility for consoles, streaming sticks, or sound systems, while the intuitive menu system makes calibration simple.

Competing with premium models like the Epson LS800 and Hisense PX2-Pro, it offers similar visual fidelity but with a sharper focus on low-latency gaming.
