High impact gaming
Benq’s TH690ST is a 1080p projector aimed squarely at gaming. The short-throw projector does take a bit of time to set up out of the box, but the results are worth it. Offering HDR 10 support and an LED light source rated at an excellent 2300 ANSI lumens with 3D support, images, and video are very good.
I was able to project a 100-inch image on my wall at a distance of about 5 feet. The low-latency gaming experience was smooth and exciting (connected via PS4). The in-built stereo speakers provide ample volume. A great option for avid gamers. amazon.in

New-gen wearables
Mivi’s Model E is an excellent smartwatch for the price. It sports an HD display (1.69”) and comes with 7+ days of battery life. Set up is easy and the watch syncs with the Mivi Health App seamlessly. The watch dial is bright and legible (500 nits) and works well in water and dusty environments as well (IP 68).
