Buying call

The X1300i is a 1080p LED gaming projector rated at 3,000 ANSI lumens, with low input lag, 120Hz support, genre-tuned picture and audio presets, and surprisingly strong built-in speakers. It accepts 4K HDR input, but it's not a native 4K projector, black levels are light, and DLP rainbow artifacts appear.
