BenQ W4100i
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Optoma HD39HDR combines 4,000 ANSI lumens with an 8.4 ms input lag, delivering bright, low-lag visuals for gaming and cinema. It is limited by a lack of lens shift and relies on a lamp that will eventually need replacement, with only a 10 W speaker. Suited for budget-conscious gamers seeking high brightness.
The BenQ W4100i is a 4K HDR home-theater projector with a bright LED engine, full DCI-P3 coverage and extensive lens-shift flexibility, ideal for bright-room cinema and gaming. Its pixel-shifted panel and manual focus limit true 4K sharpness and convenience. Best for users who value color accuracy, Android TV integration and flexible mounting over native-4K resolution.
