All specs verified verbatim from the ProjectorCentral.com product/spec page for this exact model (BenQ X3100i): "Resolution 3840x2160", "Brightness 3,300 Lumens (ANSI)", "Light Source LED" (life 20,000h / 30,000h Eco), "Throw Ratio 1.15:1 - 1.50:1" (classified standard, >1.0 per this catalog's throw_type methodology), "Powered by Google-licensed Android" / "Android OS", "Dynamic Contrast 600,000:1", and "Released November 2023." Page lists "MSRP $2,799 (USD)" and "Street Price $2,499 (USD)". hdr left null because the page only shows a generic "HDR" feature flag and never states a specific standard (HDR10/HLG) verbatim. corroboration is null: the BenQ US manufacturer page was geo-blocked and every retailer attempted (Best Buy, B&H, Crutchfield, Walmart) was blocked/403/bot-walled, so no independent retailer page could be fetched. Re-fetched and confirmed 2026-07-08; exact model match (not sibling W2720i/W4100i/X500i).
