General info

lamp life

20000 h

20000 h

This shows the lifespan of the light source. Projectors need to have their lamps (light source) replaced every now and then.
audible noise

28 dB

32 dB

Audible noise is the noise that a device produces while in operation. Reduced audible noise improves quality.
has laser light source
BenQ X3000i
BenQ X3100i
Laser projectors have a much longer lamp life compared to traditional bulb projectors. The brightness and color reproduction also stays the same, whereas the brightness of bulb projectors can slowly degrade over time.
Audible noise is the noise that a device produces while in use. Some devices have an eco mode for quieter operation.

Projection quality

ANSI lumens

3000 lumens

3300 lumens

The light projected by the device is brighter, i.e. it has a higher ANSI lumens measurement.
The resolution represents the amount of pixels that make up the image. It is a key indicator of image quality, with higher resolutions providing sharper and more detailed images.
contrast ratio

500000:1

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (BenQ X3100i)

Contrast ratio is the visual distance between the lightest and the darkest colors that may be reproduced on the display. A high contrast ratio is desired, resulting in richer dark colors and more distinctive color gradation.
response time

16 ms

4.2 ms

Response time is how long it takes for a display to change the state of pixels, in order to show new content. The less time it takes to respond, the less likely it is to blur fast-changing images.
has motorized focus
BenQ X3000i
BenQ X3100i
You can control the focus remotely, ensuring that the image stays crisp and clear.

has motorized zoom
BenQ X3000i
BenQ X3100i
Motorized or power zoom lenses allow the user to remotely press a switch, for example on a remote control, causing the projector to automatically zoom in or out and correct the size of the image.
zoom ratio

1.3:1

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (BenQ X3100i)

A projector zoom allows you to increase or decrease the size of the projected image without moving the projector. The most common zoom ratio among today's projectors is 1.2, which means you can vary the image size by 20% by simply adjusting the zoom lens.
