Transform Your Gaming Experience with High-End Visuals 

Cinephiles are no longer the only demographic looking for a dedicated entertainment space. Video game enthusiasts also want an immersive experience that optimizes audio and video quality to gain a competitive advantage and have an entertaining space for friends and family to hang out. 

Projectors are often one of the first considerations in gaming room setups. Nothing places you in the middle of the action for your favorite sports, first-person shooter, or racing game more than a huge 100-inch screen.

Do you need help figuring out what would be the best gaming projector for your Westchester, NY home? This blog highlights what to look for in a 4K video projector and even provides product recommendations.

What to Look for in a Projector

Color contrast is a much bigger consideration in gaming than it is for watching movies. Being able to reproduce the graphics faithfully is vital not only for entertainment purposes but competitive ones as well. Many games like Little Nightmares and Elden Ring check your contrast settings before you even begin to play to ensure you'll be able to spot the enemies creeping in the shadows. 

Brightness is another special consideration depending on your room location. Often, gaming areas are more sociable and less likely to be in isolated dark rooms like a dedicated theater. That means you’ll need a brighter projector to make up for ambient lighting in the room. 

The input lag is one more thing to look for in a gaming environment where every second matters. Lags from gaming systems to projectors are why some gamers are reluctant to use them, but high-end models deliver optimal speed, so you don’t lose a mission due to a slow signal. 

Our Top Projector Recommendations 

On top of all the considerations above, we recommend going with a 4K projector to truly get all the details today’s amazing video game graphics have to offer. For our gaming room setups, we recommend a few models from Barco and Sony in particular. 

Sony’s VPL-VW325ES 4K projector includes a Dynamic HDR Enhancer for greater contrast, high-brightness of 1,500 lumens, and input lag reduction for enhanced refresh rates ideal for gamers. Their VPL-VZ1000ES short-throw projector sits just inches from the screen and offers 5,000 lumens to meet any ambient lighting challenges in a multi-purpose environment.

Barco’s Madea 4K projector offers over 6,000 lumens and RealColor technology for optimal contrast during gameplay. In addition, the Madea features low latency for an input lag below 20 milliseconds—well under the 30-millisecond standard set by most gamers. Meanwhile, their Bragi model features a brand new high-lumens density RGB LED engine going up to 2,600 lumens along with its trademark RealColor and low latency technology.
