The ViewSonic PA502X short-throw projector at R7,493 has XGA resolution, so it is the wrong 4K gaming display despite solving a tight placement problem. Short throw describes image size at close range; it does not promise 4K pixels or high-refresh gaming performance.
Put resolution ahead of projection novelty
The AOC U27G42 27-inch 4K IPS monitor at R4,819 supports a 160Hz refresh rate and is a clearer verified match for a desk-based 4K build. The graphics card must still sustain the chosen game settings.
A Dell S2725QC 27-inch 4K IPS USB-C monitor at R6,128 favours a mixed productivity and entertainment desk. Confirm its gaming features against your priorities.
The Yaber T1 Pro at R2,900 provides Full HD HDR10 projection for casual large-screen play. It should be judged as a Full HD projector, not stretched into a 4K claim.
Consider the South African room
Daylight, pale walls and fan noise can undermine projection before the console starts. Measure throw distance, control ambient light and test input latency if competitive play matters.
