Yes. You can connect X3100i to Switch, PS5, PS4 and Xbox using an HDMI cable.

The input lag is 4.2ms@240Hz (1080p), 8.3ms@120Hz (1080p), and 16.67ms@60Hz (4K)

Since image processing is required for the keystone function, input lag will be slightly longer* but not affecting the smoothness in games when the keystone is enabled.

*Latency will hardly be noticeable with keystone function enabled, as lag time merely increase no more than 1 frame (increase 16ms at 4K@60Hz, increase 8ms at 1080@120Hz, increase 4ms at 1080p@240Hz). 

You can select a preferred mode among FPS, RPG, SPG.

No, the projector does not have the capability to transmit audio via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. We recommend connecting your speaker directly to your playback device or connecting the projector to an audio system via ARC/eARC for improved audio quality and to avoid latency issues associated with wireless transmission. 

The X3100i console gaming projector supports ARC and eARC in HDMI-2 port. Please follow the instructions below to enable the ARC/eARC function on the projector from the OSD menu.

1. Please first manually turn on ARC: SYSTEM SETUP: Projector Menu → Audio → Audio Output → switch to Audio Return+

2. Next, change output format to your preferred format: SYSTEM SETUP: Projector Menu → Audio → Audio Output Format → switch to RAW+/LPCM

*To learn more about how ARC/eARC works, please refer to:

Yes. The input lag of X3100i is as low as 4.2ms@240Hz per frame, making it suitable for a variety of games. For PVP (player versus player) games or rhythm games, enjoy the best gaming experience in 4K resolution and 100"+ big screen.

In order to create smooth 4K resolution images, True 4K DLP Technology utilizes high speed pixel displacement and the superimposition of pixels to produce the 8.3 million pixels seen by the viewer. An end result of this process is a degree of vibration that may results in a slight or unnoticeable high-frequency noise.

True 4K UHD must deliver 8.3 million pixels on the screen. Please read on to learn more about this topic.

According to criteria set by the CTA (Consumers Technology Association), 4K UHD must deliver 8.3 million pixels on the screen in order to be considered True 4K resolution. By harnessing the most advanced DLP 0.47” DMD (Digital Micromirror Device), our projectors utilize millions of micromirrors with quick adjustment speeds, as well as the advanced image processing capabilities of the DLP 4K UHD chipset to achieve CTA’s 4K UHD specifications (8.3 million distinct pixels for each frame), resulting in four times the resolution of Full HD 1080p.

DLP 4K UHD Technology is Texas Instruments’ pixel-shifting technology. Please read on to learn more about this topic.

DLP 4K UHD Technology is used by projectors to achieve True 4K's 8.3 million pixels regardless of the number of native pixels their DMD chip has. It not only can help double the 2716 x 1528 pixels of a 0.66” DMD, but can also quadruple the 1920 x 1080 pixels of a 0.47” DMD to create the 8.3 million pixels of True 4K at a lightning fast pixel-shifting speed.

The compatible resolutions is 3840 x 2016 in pixels at 24/25/30/50/60 (Hz). Please read on to learn more about this topic.

To automatically detect HDR content, please make sure your 4K player is sending a compatible 4K HDR signal to the projector.

1. Compatible resolutions: 4K x 2K (3840 x 2016 in pixels) at 24/25/30/50/60 (Hz).

2. Compatible HDR signals: 

• 4K/60p (60 Hz) 4:4:4 supports up to 8bits

• 4K/60p (60 Hz) 4:2:2 supports up to 12bits

• 4K/60p (60 Hz) 4:2:0 supports up to 12bits

• 4K/24p (24 Hz) 4:4:4 supports up to 12bits

• 4K/24p (24 Hz) 4:2:2 supports up to 12bits

• 4K/24p (24 Hz) 4:2:0 supports up to 12bits

There is no need to replace it during the normal usage lifetime of the projector. Because the projector uses an LED light source instead of a lamp, it can last for about 20,000~30,000 hours so there is no need to change it during the normal usage lifetime of the projector. If you want to change the lamp, please notice that LED replacement is not user-serviceable, please contact the service center to replace it.
