First Impressions
The design of the projector is a standout feature for me, especially compared to the traditional rectangular models that dominate the market. It has a sleek and modern aesthetic that not only looks good in my home setup but also feels like a premium product. The build quality is decent, although my experience with some components has raised concerns about durability. Overall, I appreciate the effort BenQ put into making this projector visually appealing while still functional.Introduce

Viewing Experience | The viewing experience is where this projector truly shines. The picture quality is impressive, especially on my 120" screen, making both gaming and movie-watching a delight. The colors are vibrant, and I noticed minimal lag, which is crucial for gaming. However, I did find that the brightness is best appreciated in darker rooms, as it tends to lose some of its punch in well-lit environments. The sound quality, while slightly above average, prompted me to invest in a soundbar for a better audio experience. |

System Experience | Setting up the BenQ X1300i was relatively straightforward, but I did encounter a hiccup when I had to return it for updated firmware. Once I got past that, the projector was easy to connect to my devices, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came with a streaming stick. The process of controlling the projector via voice commands with Alexa was a bit complex but ultimately rewarding, as I was able to customize the routines to make using it more convenient. |
