ViewSonic International, an American manufacturer of display devices, has announced the world's first Xbox-certified gaming projectors, the X1-4K and X2-4K! Both projectors are ultra-high performance projectors with refresh rates up to 240Hz and response time of 4.2ms.
The world's first Xbox Certified Gaming Projectors "X1-4K" and "X2-4K
ViewSonic International has announced two Xbox-certified gaming projectors: the "X1-4K" regular focus model and the "X2-4K" short focus model. Both models support a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz and a response time of 4.2 ms, enabling a gaming experience that is comparable to that of a monitor, even though it is a projector. The resolutions, refresh rates and response times are as follows
- 4K / 60Hz: 16.67ms
- 1440p / 60Hz: 16.67ms
- 1440p / 120Hz: 8.33ms (world's first Xbox certified)
- 1080p / 60Hz: 16.67ms
- 1080p / 120Hz: 8.33ms
- 1080p / 240Hz: 4.2ms
The X1-4K and X2-4K projectors feature 2,900 LED lumens of brightness and support HDR10/HLG. In addition, the unique Cinema SuperColor + technology covers 125% of the Rec. 709 color gamut. Many people think of projectors as being used in a darkened room like a movie theater, but with these specifications, the projector should project well even if used in a brightly lit room.
The 40-degree horizontal and vertical trapezoidal correction ensures that the projector is well adjusted even when the projector and screen are not parallel.
Two HDMI ports and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities are also included. You can also connect multiple home gaming consoles or enjoy video streaming services at up to 4K resolution by connecting devices such asChromecast orFire TV Stick! Since TVs and monitors over 100 inches are rarely handled, being able to watch games and movies on the projector's handy big screen is quite hot.
Difference between "X1-4K" and "X2-4K
The main difference between the X1-4K and X2-4K is the projection distance and optical zoom performance. The X1-4K, a standard focus model, can project a screen up to 150 inches while providing 1.3x optical zoom and vertical lens shift. In contrast, the X2-4K has 1.2x optical zoom and can project a 100-inch screen from a distance of only 1.53 meters. We recommend the X1-4K for those who just want a large screen, and the X2-4K for those who cannot get the physical distance between the projector and the screen!
