Philips has announced its first dedicated gaming projector, the Screeneo GamePix 900, with 4K resolution. The GamePix 900 is powered by a Texas Instruments DLP chip capable of delivering 4K resolution at 60Hz, 1440p at 120Hz, or Full HD at an esports-ready 240Hz. The projector boasts an ultra-low latency of just 6ms at 240Hz, which should satisfy even competitive gamers.
Brightness is rated at 1000 ANSI lumens utilizing an LED light source, with a 30,000-hour lifespan. The projector can create images up to 120 inches in size. It supports HDR10 and covers 95% of the Rec. 709 color space.
The GamePix 900 also includes three specialized gaming presets. Action, which is optimized for dark scenes, Adventure which offers enhanced contrast and HDR, and Sports, which features vivid colors. All modes retain the projector’s low latency feature.
Weighing in at just 2kg and measuring 219 x 219 x 119mm, the GamePix 900 is compact, providing a portable gaming solution and an ideal projection choice for smaller spaces. For the audio, it has a 5W speaker with a sound chamber onboard.
Video input is limited to a single HDMI port. It does have a USB-A power-out port, allowing TV sticks to be powered by the projector. However, it does not have any wireless connectivity. That means no built-in streaming apps, no Bluetooth pairing, no way to cast devices to the projector. But, in keeping with the gaming focus, if users have an Xbox or PlayStation connected, they can access all their media apps through the gaming console.
The Screeneo GamePix 900 is expected to begin shipping in April with an MSRP of $999.
