BenQ has optimized settings for gamers here, but the X3000i is also a neat projector for any other entertainment, with plenty of big-screen brightness and built-in Android TV app-based streaming. For best enjoyment you'll need to add an external sound system, but the built-in speakers will get you by for casual use.
