BenQ X1300i Gaming Projector Review - Summary: Highlights, Pros and Cons

HIGHLIGHTS

The BENQ X1300i is a 3,000 lumen Full HD (1920 x1200) 4LED DLP laser projector with a rated lamp life of 20,000 in Normal mode.

The X1300i has a staggering dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1. The X1300i delivered a clear picture with the accurate color that exceeds the fantastic color performance I have come to expect from the BenQ of projectors.

The projector’s feature set is focused on Gaming and Home Entertainment, and frankly, it does both of these extremely well.

VALUE PROPOSITION

While there are other smart projectors on the market, the X1300i stands out from the crowd with its focus on elevating the quality of home entertainment content and blowing the doors off of other projectors “game” mode, including some of their own.

With its long lasting, bright 4LED phosphor light source, high contrast ratio, low-maintenance design, and dedicated Gaming and Entertainment sound and video treVolo tuned Bongiovi Audio DPS technology, the X1300i would be a great choice for those of you considering buying an all- around entertainment projector.
The combination of focusing on Gaming and Entertainment, including an excellent implementation of HDR and 3,000 lumens of LED powered brightness, all packaged into an incredibly stylish formfactor for a price of $1299 makes the BenQ an excellent solution for your home entertainment needs and desires.
