Verdict

The BenQ X300G is a compact, portable 4K HDR 3LED short-throw gaming projector featuring a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 and 2,000 ANSI lumens of brightness. Designed for high-speed performance, it boasts an ultra-low input lag of 4.16ms at 1080p/240Hz (16.7ms at 4K/60Hz) and covers 84% of the DCI-P3 color gamut with CinematicColor technology. Main pros include its space-saving 0.69-0.83 throw ratio capable of a 100-inch image from just 1.53m, motorized 1.2x optical zoom, and versatile connectivity including USB-C with DisplayPort and power delivery. However, notable cons include its lack of a built-in battery despite the portable form factor, limited physical port selection (one accessible HDMI), and brightness levels that struggle against moderate ambient light.
