Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Gaming features remain unconfirmed for several commenters. Several commenters directly ask about VRR, ALLM, and Dolby Vision support, noting these weren't mentioned anywhere in the material they'd seen, despite the projector's marketing tie-in with Xbox. Another questions whether HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision is actually supported, since '4K HDR' alone doesn't specify the format. Combined with unclear HDMI and USB-C versions and the absence of a DisplayPort 1.4 input, buyers researching this projector for competitive or console gaming are left without clear answers on its true feature set.

Connectivity and brightness show some bright spots. Not everything is uncertain: one commenter confirms the X2-4K includes Bluetooth output, letting them route audio to an existing sound system without relying on the HDMI connection some other projectors require. Another cites a specified brightness of 3300 lumens, and a separate comment expects PC input to push refresh rates as high as 240Hz alongside 120Hz on console. Together these points suggest a projector built with flexible audio routing and high-refresh gaming bandwidth in mind, even if ANSI lumen figures remain unclarified.

Lens shift and accessibility gaps frustrate some buyers. Multiple commenters wish the X2-4K included optical or vertical lens shift, pointing out that the related X1-4K supports it while this model doesn't, which limits installation flexibility and achievable screen size. Separately, one user criticizes the on-screen display text as too small to read for visually impaired users, calling out the lack of an accessibility option. A price complaint adds to the friction, with one commenter calling the roughly $1,600 cost 'extremely exaggerated' next to buying a TV and console instead.
