A game room is a point of pride for gamers, a way to show off cool tech, gaming merch, and create the ultimate gaming experience. We gave BenQ projector owners the chance to show off their game rooms and win an X-Series 4K gaming projector to upgrade their setup. With great entries and high voting, everyone was excited to learn about the benefits of gaming projectors. From open-world adventures to game nights with friends, it’s time to upgrade your setup with a 4K gaming projector. 

The best gaming experience doesn’t come just from the game, but from where and how you play the game. Your space sets the tone of the gaming sessions, and a larger screen allows for better immersion and better visuals for multiplayer games. Immersive gaming is about fully engaging your senses and evoking emotions through crisp visuals and deep audio that fills the room. While TVs may be the norm for gaming, they lack the key elements needed for a fully immersive gaming experience. Check out this article for a detailed breakdown of immersive gaming!

Gaming projectors offer a better gaming experience compared to gaming TVs because of their ability to transform your space. With flexible setup capabilities, projector image sizes ranging from 100in to 200in, simplified connectivity, and refresh rates that rival even the best gaming monitors, gaming projectors are perfect for every session. Modern gaming projectors are designed specifically for gaming and can transform your space into a larger-than-life, immersive experience.

To enhance the immersive experience, the X-Series 4K gaming projectors have three or four game modes that auto-detect the type of game and auto-adjust for the best settings and lowest input lag. These modes enhance immersion by ensuring each game is being played at its best, regardless of the console or type of game. With RPG, SPG, FPS, and RCG modes your projector will instantly recall your previous settings and set you up for success. 

For our Game Room Throwdown 2024 contest, we had a great number of entries this year who showed off their game rooms and love of BenQ projectors. Each room had something unique about it that made stand out, and the competition was close with a lot of votes for each contestant. With most entrants owning our HT or TK projectors, we were excited to upgrade someone to an X-Series 4K gaming projector with the best visuals and game modes to create an immersive gaming experience.

This year’s winner, Whose2say, entered their game room with a TK700 projector, ready for an upgrade! “I love the TK700 that I currently have but I am very excited to see how the X3100i improves on contrast and color accuracy,” Whose2say said, “I am also curious to experience the shift from lamp-based to the 4LED-based light source offered by the X3100i.” Their game room has comfortable seating, a fireplace, and shelves with cool collectibles and they showed off the game Ori and the Will of the Wisps on their TK700. The X3100i is the perfect upgrade for their game room because it matches the room's aesthetic, provides 4 game modes, and has a strong light source for daytime or nighttime gaming.

The best part of a game room is being able to game in comfort with a large projected image. Whose2say said, “My favorite thing about gaming on a projector is the cinema-like experience that it can offer within my own home. Being able to lay back on the couch with a controller in hand is my favorite way to unwind after a long day!” Check out their setup here.
