With ever more life-like graphics driving an ever-greater interest in big-screen gaming, BenQ has come up with a trio of new home entertainment projectors specifically designed to deliver a king-sized and immersive game experience. So game-friendly are the new X3100i, X500i and X300G projectors, in fact, that BenQ chose to unveil them at the recent 2023 Tokyo Game Show.
Now, though, the brand has revealed full details about them ahead of a mooted mid-October launch - and if they’re as good as BenQ’s 2022 X3000i gaming projector was, there could be plenty to get excited out.All three DLP models debut BenQ’s new ‘detail refinement engine’: A combination of technologies intended to bring out more detail and realism from game graphics.
Fast response times are, of course, hugely important for a convincing, responsive gaming experience, and here BenQ claims to have delivered the world’s fastest projection input lag figure of just 4.16ms - though the exact set up required to achieve this remarkably low figure isn’t clear from the information BenQ has released so far.
BenQ also points to the new projectors’ ‘CinematicSound’ audio systems as further evidence of their gaming talents. These use BenQ TreVolo speaker systems to create a virtual 3D spatial audio sound stage, in a bid to make you feel as if you’re immersed in the heart of the surround sound audio mixes games carry these days.
