Our Verdict

BenQ X3100i

Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

The BenQ X3100i might be a bit better than the Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2 if you really don't want to calibrate your projector, as it's much more accurate right out-of-the-box, but for most people the Valerion is the better product. It's much more colorful than the BenQ, which is especially apparent in HDR content. The Valerion also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, while the BenQ is limited to HDR10. They're both pretty evenly matched for gamers, although the BenQ supports 1440p at 120Hz, while the Valerion only supports 1080p at that refresh rate; both projectors otherwise supports 1080p at 240Hz and 4k at 60Hz.
