Gaming on TVs and monitors is pretty mainstream and straightforward. But what if you really want to take things to the next level — stretching your gaming canvas across the width of your living room wall. This is very much possible, thanks to advancements in projector technology to make them more accessible for gamers.

Today’s gaming projectors have high colour depth, low input lag and high refresh rates up to 120Hz (or even more).

So here’s a look at some of the best gaming projectors that you can buy right now.

BenQ W1210ST

With a low input lag of 16.67ms, customized game modes, built-in speakers and easy installation, the BenQ W1210ST is designed to take gaming to the next level. It offers 96% coverage of Rec.709 and a 6x speed RGBRGB colour wheel that lets you attain a perfect balance between colour accuracy and brightness. On top of all of these awesome features, it also has a short throw, meaning it can project a stunning 100-inch image over a distance of just 1.5m.

Optoma UHD35

This projector boasts a 4K native resolution to let you go ultra-sharp when you want the greatest fidelity in games with lush worlds and highly detailed textures.

BenQ TK850

The TK800M is primarily touted as a “sports projector,” with a dedicated picture mode for football and other sports, but it’s also a great pick for gaming enthusiasts. With a 48ms input lag, it’s good enough for having a game night with your buddies. On top of this, it has an auto HDR colour rendition that optimizes colours in HDR mode and has auto keystoning that makes it easy to align the image on the screen. 1.1x zoom allows a 100-inch image with a throw distance from 10.83 to 12.14 feet.
