Our Verdict

BenQ X3100i

AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro

The BenQ X3100i is better than the AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro, although the BenQ is a long-throw projector while the AWOL Vision is an ultra-short-throw unit. Nevertheless, the BenQ is a bit brighter, has better contrast, and is far more accurate right out-of-the-box. The BenQ is also far more versatile for gamers, as it's capable of gaming at 4k @ 60Hz, 1440p @ 120Hz, and 1080p @ 240Hz, while the AWOL Vision is limited to 4k @ 60Hz or 1080p @ 120Hz.
