BenQ X300G | Gaming Projector | ₹1,52,490

FOR Auto keystone and corner fit work well, colour and motion consistency, sound 

AGAINST Lens shift would've been nice, not exactly "portable", pro gamers might prefer a monitor

By now, BenQ has become a master of marketing, and filling up niches. The X300G follows in the same vein as their X-line of playful portable projectors aimed at gamers. Not entirely portable in the battery sense, but it is handy enough to be carried from room to room, provided your rooms have bare white walls or pre-installed screens! As far as playing the part goes, the X300G fits the role to the T. A cute and unique squarish form with speakers on either side, a kickstand to adjust tilt angle and orange highlights that match with the PS5 DualSense controller. BenQ's true 4K implementation in this case is also a means to an end, but it does flash each frame four times a second, qualifying for the moniker. Rated at 2000 lumens, it does skimp on DCI-P3 coverage compared to BenQ's more accomplished home-cinema projectors, but the real virtue here is input lag and the X300G claims a mighty fast number of 4.2ms, if you're content with 1080p/240Hz. Bump up the resolution and this number tumbles, but even then, 16ms for 4K/60Hz is respectable and at par with most other cinema projectors that aim to please gamers occasionally.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3

On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
