The BenQ X1300i is a savvy foray into gaming projectorsfrom the respected manufacturer, with a clear trade-off of different specs enabling its reasonable price tag. In a world of next-gen games consoles, and an ever-growing community of players, it makes sense for BenQ to lean into the trend, though does the X1300i deliver where it matters? We’d say so. The BenQ X1300i offers a max 120Hz refresh rate that should keep games looking buttery smooth, with dedicated game modes to ensure the projector is focusing its energies on only the important processing.

The lens is located in the upper left quadrant when looking at the projector. When plugged in, a power LED is visible in the upper right. When in standby mode, the word “power” is orange. Once you power on the projector, the word changes to green. The BenQ logo is printed in grey on the lower right corn...
