Our Verdict
ViewSonic PX701-4K
BenQ X3100i
The BenQ X3100i is much better than the ViewSonic PX701-4K. They're both primarily marketed for gaming and thus have many gaming features. Still, while they both support 4k @ 60Hz and 1080p @ 240Hz, only the BenQ supports 1440p @ 120Hz. Furthermore, the BenQ is a fully featured smart projector with an integrated smart OS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support, all of which the ViewSonic lacks. Finally, the BenQ has significantly better image quality, with better contrast and brightness, is more accurate, and has a wider color gamut.
