BenQ has been a leader in various projector segments across the UAE, KSA, and even the entire Middle East market throughout 2021 as well as previous years before that. In UAE, BenQ achieved the leading spot as a No. 1 DLP Projector Brand (with 18% market share) as well as the No. 1 4K Projector Brand (with 26% market share). For KSA, BenQ was crowned as the No. 1 overall projector brand with a huge 44.5% market share, along with being the No. 1 4K Projector Brand (with 51% market share) and the No. 1 Portable Projector Brand (with 48% market share).

Their latest projection solutions come with various nuanced BenQ features that we’ve come to expect from the world-class projector brand. For a truly immersive gaming experience, the X3000i draws gamers deeply into the plot with authentic colours balanced with true 4K UHD, high 3000-lumen visual brightness, and a crisp 500,000:1 super high contrast ratio with Dynamic Black algorithms. It comes equipped with 3D readiness and projector-optimized HDR with HDR10 / HLG support to ensure futureproof visual performance, while the 4LED light source with auto colour calibration guarantees years of gaming enjoyment.

“Leading the X series with an unprecedented combination of cinematic images and realistic sounds, along with the lag-free control that comes from 4ms response time at 240Hz frame rate,” said Manish Bakshi, Managing Director, BenQ Middle East & Turkey. “X3000i invites gamers to expand into infinite gaming universes and realize a game’s full potential” he added.

Adding to the visual with audio enhancement, X3000i fully envelopes players in powerful 5W x 2 stereo speakers that are tuned by BenQ’s treVolo audio team and enhanced by Bongiovi DSP (Digital Signal Processor) with Dynamic Stereo Enhancement, offering aural details with more surrounded, three-dimensional game sounds. Audio can be output to an external sound system via HDMI eARC for the ultimate cinematic experience.

Styled in dynamic design to complement any gamer’s décor and setup flexibility of 1.3x zoom, 2D keystone, and advanced AV connectivity, X3000i’s 4LED light source provides over 30,000 hours or 10+ years of vibrant colours and gorgeous gaming quality without lamp replacement cost. Console gamers who play for hours can carefully explore the storyline and show the world who they aspire to be with no hassle.

The realness of all interactions can be further discovered through role-playing, first-person shooter, and sports games as BenQ’s X3000i is equipped with specially-designed preset game modes. The depth, clarity, definition, and presence of the surrounding deep bass background music, approaching footsteps and clear vocals are emphasized respectively, with the true colours the games originally intend to display. These carefully calibrated settings are also applicable in models such as TK700STi and TK700 in the TK Series as well as TH Series, complementing a full projector lineup that’s dedicated to gaming.

The TK700 low input lag projector enables gamers to win big in true 4K resolution that is paired with the lowest 16ms input lag possible at that quality. It comes with a Game Mode for detailed clarity with optimal colours in dark scenes. The TK700STi on the other hand is the world’s first 4K HDR Gaming Projector packing the same superior features as the TK700, but with exceptional short-throw capabilities & embedded Android TV. BenQ’s lineup also includes a 3500lm high brightness HDR console gaming projector, the TH685i powered by Android TV and comes with dedicated gaming modes.

Samsung Electronics has launched a portable and smart projector called “The Freestyle”. The projector can be adjusted to be used at any angle. Mustafa Sadick, Regional Director Head of Visual Display Group, Samsung Gulf Electronics, said, “Consumers today are embracing a lifestyle that offers flexibility in terms of work and play. The Freestyle is a one-of-a-kind projector geared towards versatility to meet the consumers’ changing lifestyles. The Freestyle is a fun and versatile device that can be used in any way consumers prefer – offering them an opportunity to showcase their individuality.”

The Freestyle versatility is embodied by its form factor, design, and innovative features. It weighs in at just 830 grams, is portable enough to carry in one hand, and has the ability to rotate 180 degrees, enabling users to show high-quality video anywhere – tables, floors, walls, or even ceilings – no separate screen required.

For an ideal watching experience in any conditions, The Freestyle features an auto keystone and auto-leveling functions that display a 16:9-ratio screen, up to 100 inches in size, anywhere without distortion. The projector automatically focuses to ensure a clear screen and retains its level to prevent any inconveniences in viewing. This function helps users display the screen from all kinds of different positions.

The Freestyle also offers Smart TV features that are available on Samsung Smart TVs, with built-in streaming services and mirroring and casting features that are compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices. The Freestyle is the industry’s first portable projector that is certified by global major OTT partners, providing customers with the best content viewing experience.

The Freestyle is also compatible with external batteries that support USB-PD and 50W/20V output or above. This allows users to take it with them anywhere – whether they are on the move, on a camping trip, or otherwise out and about. When it’s not used as a projector to stream content, or for those who are looking to relax, The Freestyle also provides a mood lighting effect thanks to its ambient mode and translucent lens cap.

The Freestyle is priced at AED 3499 and will be available for pre-order through Samsung’s brand shops as well as major retailers in the UAE and Samsung.com.
