Would a cheap projector be good enough for gaming?

hotredsam

I was looking on amazon and saw multiple projectors under $100. Would these be good enough for gaming? I play bf1 and CSGO and some ark survival. Also would the lower resolution make the games unplayable? Is the input lag way too much?

 

 

thanks

Low resolution and low brightness unless you're in a near dark room are going to be problems. I have used a very old high end one which is now about the same spec as these low cost ones, and didn't have lag problems but this may vary depending on the model. Having said that, with mine I could get up to 100" display which was fun for movies.

There are a lot of good entry level 1080p monitors around 100 USD, why would you get a projector? Unless you want to watch movies on a very big screen or lecturing something just don't.
