"As the 3,200 ANSI lumen rating suggests, the natural home for the PX701-4K is in a room with ambient light. Most people will consider the image more than acceptable for a family room straight of the box, while serious gamers will also be attracted by the faster-than-typical lag time for 4K models. And although it doesn't offer the color accuracy, contrast, or black level a serious enthusiast would ideally want, it can also do a credible job on image quality with lights off."
Notable: 12,000:1 contrast ratio, tends towards blue, but can be improved if willing to tinker;
"After calibration, the final measured brightness for peak white with HDR input was significantly higher than for SDR, at 246.7 nits (72.01 ft-L). The measured color volume was 53.3% Rec.709 (35.8% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut), an improvement on the pre-calibration measurement. "

So far so good. Picture is very sharp but the color accuracy is not as good as my earlier Optoma HD141X. But still good enough.
Projector needs good bit of calibration. I am using the economy mode to reduce the noise but still very bright. I have a dedicated media room so no outside light issues.
Only glitch so far, is that the projector will not switch on if left off for a week or so. Need to unplug the power cord and put it back. Works fine after that. Anyone knows why this pay happen? I tried different power settings but no luck.

Ive got no idea about that brand but it looks like a clone of the etekcity ones that ive had for years.
For input lag and gaming features this one is better. Input lag is half the BenQ at 4k60 and it also has 1080p240 and (presumably) 1080p120 while the BenQ doesn't.
Heres the specs for the BenQ

Unless you are a die hard gamer id wait to see what gets unveiled at CES in January. Epson already has a couple HDMI 2.1 projectors that can do 4K120 but they're 4000+ bucks. Its possible at CES in January or E3 we get some cheaper HDMI 2.1 projectors. The epsons use a .73" TI dlp chip while i think all these budget 4k projector use a .48" TI dlp chip.
The chip is what moves/vibrates/oscillates to produce the image. Afaik 4k120 hadn't been possible on a dlp projector before those epson models came out this year. CES or E3 should have quite a few more models with the .73" TI dlp chip that are capable of 4k120 and those will have me considering upgrading from the uhd50x

Or does a 120 inch screen help for the immersion?

"The PX701-4K is built around a RGBWRGBW 8-segment color wheel and a 0.47-inch DLP chip, which generates 3840x2160 pixels using TI's XPR fast-switch pixel shifting."

Instead it uses pixel shifting to rapidly display 4 offset 1080p signals in sequence, which tricks your eye into seeing a 4K output. All 4K protectors in this price range use this approach. There are no exceptions under $3000 or so.
