Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800

BenQ X3000i

The BenQ X3000i is a bit better than the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800. The Epson is the brighter of the two, but the BenQ has the better overall contrast. The BenQ is the vastly more accurate projector, both out-of-the-box and after calibration, and it also has a wider color gamut. The BenQ has more features for gamers, as it's capable of up to 4k @ 60Hz or 1080p @ 240Hz on its two HDMI ports, while the Epson can do 4k @ 60Hz or 1080p @ 120Hz on one port and 4k @ 60Hz on the other two. However, the Epson is easier to place in a room due to its Ultra Short Throw capabilities.
