Makes me wonder:
Most projectors are basically just a very tiny LCD, a set of lenses, and a very bright lamp. Considering there we have 4K projectors, that means there is a very tiny 4K LCD inside. Why aren't these LCDs being used in VR headsets? Sure, OLED is a much better display technology for VR, but I think some people would prefer a high resolution over better contrast ratios.
Yeah, both of those and the pixel count are typically the most important numbers to have.

How many Lumens can it produce and how much will it cost?

I'm trying to find the source. It looks like even on BenQ website the product page has been removed?

Why aren't these LCDs being used in VR headsets? Sure, OLED is a much better display technology for VR, but I think some people would prefer a high resolution over better contrast ratios.
The VR headset answer is that to move 4K pixels in a 3D setting takes a huge amount of GPU performance. VR headsets have two screens, so multiply that amount of work times two. They also refresh their screens at 90fps, so multiply that by 1.5x when compared to games that can reach 60fps. You can increase the resolution but your render quality would have to suffer significantly if you want to achieve the frame rates.
Unlike monitors where you can sacrifice frame rates and live somewhat happily with 30-45fps, doing that in VR will result in adverse effects that will disrupt the "reality" part of virtual reality and/or cause motion sickness.
While I agree and can't wait until we can have such pixel dense screens that we can't see the pixels (or screen door effect), we're still quite a ways away from the performance needed to achieve that. It may be doable with the latest hardware, but they can't design headsets that have a maximum market penetration of 5% of the computing population.

Its Lens Shifting so its not "True 4K" its "Faux 4K".
2000 Lumens
DLP instead of 3 Chip LCD, I'd rather have 3 Chip LCD.
120Hz Refresh ( wonder if that's at 4K or 1080P, unless it supports HDMI 2.1 I would assume 1080P )
Its a pretty poor projector if you ask me.
FInd more about it here.
