From its fancy cubic design to its built-in Trevolo sound system and surprisingly well-developed focus on video gaming, the X1300i does everything it can to stand out from today's crowded projector shelves.
For the X1300i's asking price you would expect to get a 4K projector, but while the X1300i is capable of taking in 4K signals, natively it is only a Full HD projector, and many Full HD projectors can be had for much less. BenQ has a few potent excuses for the X1300i's price, though. Namely its serious built-in audio system, strong support for HDR, impressively bright lighting engine, built-in Android smart system, and unique gaming features.
A stylish mix of white and glassy black, with orange front-edge trim, pretty much screams 'fun' at you. The lens sits in a recessed area in the top left quadrant of the large front face, with essentially the whole bottom half of the projector given over to the built-in stereo audio system. Basic zoom and focus rings are accessed through a window at the projector's side.

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.
