BenQ Launches 4LED Short-Throw Projector for Immersive Console Gaming in XXL Format
BenQ, one of the world's leading brands in DLP projectors, introduces the TH690ST 4LED gaming projector with short-throw technology. The new addition to BenQ's gaming projector series is great for all types of entertainment, whether for console gaming or watching movies and series or for broadcasting live sporting events. Via the 2 HDMI (2.0b) interfaces, the TH690ST can be used with all popular gaming consoles, such as the Sony PS5/PS4, Nintendo Switch or Xbox series and is the perfect partner for fast-paced virtual sports, response-critical FPS and time-sensitive battles. With its 1080P HDR picture quality, low input lag of just 8.33 ms at 120 Hz and brightness of 2300 ANSI lumen, the TH690ST is now available in stores at a suggested retail price of €1,199 including VAT.
With an image diagonal of up to 100 inches from a distance of only 1.5 meters from the projection surface, the TH690ST 4LED short-throw projector is a cost-effective alternative to large-screen TVs. For easy and convenient projection from different positions in the room, the 2D keystone correction eliminates trapezoidal effects and optimizes image alignment. With its 4LED light source, the TH690ST offers compelling image quality with high brightness, clear contrast and balanced saturation. The lifespan of the LED light source is rated at 30,000 hours in ECO mode, which, assuming approximately 4 hours of daily use, equates to approximately 21 years of use without the need for a replacement.
Gaming with colour accuracy
Gamers can enjoy in-game interactions with extra realism and intensity thanks to the TH690ST's specially designed preset game modes. Optimized game modes for light and dark environments are also available for greater clarity and detail when immersed in the respective game atmosphere.
BenQ's 4LED gaming projector achieves particularly colour accuracy with 84% DCI-P3 and 98% Rec. 709 colour space coverage. Plus, the TH690ST is 4K HDR compatible, so HDR can be reproduced for both 4K and 1080P.
Convincing sound
Two built-in 5 watt treVolo stereo speakers provide a powerful soundscape by balancing highs, mids and lows and combining them to create a compelling sound experience. Users can quickly switch between Standard, Cinema, Music, Game, Sports and Custom sound modes to achieve the best sound experience to match the content being viewed.

I originally wanted to come here to say "Still DLP, still shit". And that 4LED feels like a marketing term designed to get consumers to go "huh, 3LCD? well this one has 4LED, it must be better!"
[B]What Are Main Causes Of Screen Tearing With Vsync On?[/B]
There are two main causes of screen tearing with vsync on:Frames per second (FPS) lower than the monitor’s refresh rate
The monitor is only capable of displaying a limited number of frames each second (usually 60, but can range from 50 to 100+). When the game’s FPS falls below this mark, it will begin to currently load a frame while another is still being shown; then it waits until the next monitor refresh cycle before loading that next frame, resulting in something like this. This happens because Windows doesn’t allow for fine control over when Vsync starts – it’s either always enabled or always disabled.
I used vSync since 1998 until my first FreeSync monitor in 2017. The only thing you should get is maybe some stuttering. The visible perception of the "missed" refresh-cycles where the monitor shows the previous image twice which cause a "virtual" frame-drop by not letting half a frame to load in thus loweri g the visible FPS. Since the refresh-tate of the monitor is like fixed 60Hz the only FPS that can smoothly go through is 30 and 60. Everything in-between will end up in a fluctuation between the two. 45FPS will be frame-times like 30-60-30-60. Dropping to 37 would look like 30-30-30-60-30-30-30-60. Because the frame-buffer is rolling the whole thing in front of it.
What you described is you somehow forcing vSync to break itself, thus not working. BTW, why do you have to force vSync in the first place when all the games have the option?
