Benq X3000i|4K projector 4,00,000

FOR Out of the box image quality, Smooth motion and fast gaming response, eARC

AGAINST No lens shift, no backlighting on remote, Netflix gets a miss on the Android OS

If there's a new projector technology being developed, you can rest assured that Benq is either exploring it, backing it or in this case, pioneering it. The X3000i is an odd-looking unit in the shape of a futuristic cube that could well be holding our cryogenically frozen DNA samples. But instead, it houses a 4-LED light system that promises more light output (brightness) and longer life without generating any more heat than conventional 3-LED projectors. Benq has clearly demarcated its projector line up with X and W prefixes, the former indicating a solid-state light source and the latter denoting a traditional lamp. So the X3000i is clearly marketed as an LED projector that is optimised for gaming, but is no slouch when it comes to stunning HDR home-theatre performance too, as we find out.
