ViewSonicLX700-4K UHD 3500 Lumens Laser Projector Designed for Xbox with 4.2ms Response Time, 240Hz Refresh Rate, 1.36x Optical Zoom, Dual HDMI, and HDR/HLD Support

For the price, this thing is impressive. As many reviews I've seen stated, the software is pretty terrible but once you understand the gaps, there are a lot of workarounds. It's super bright even with a lot of ambient light. I have shades in my room, not blackout, so haven't tried with direct sunlight but with shades, I can easily adjust to see a lot of tone and contrast.This was an upgrade for me from Optoma Hd142x, and the only thing that would convince me not to get this once my Optoma died would be if I was rich. Good budget option for enthusiast trying to save money.

I've had this projector for almost a month, and I really like it. I'm projecting on to a 110" screen in a dark room and am seated about 10' away. The 4K image is bright and sharp. I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K plugged into HDMI 1 powered by the USB port. In HDMI 2, I have a Sony BDP-S6700 Blu-ray player that up-converts 1080p to 4K. I don't use the built-in speaker. I have a 2.1 speaker system that connects directly to the Amazon stick using Bluetooth and digital coaxial from the Blu-ray player. Using some generic active 3D glasses I also purchased on Amazon, I've watched most of my 3D movie collection and have to say the experience is fantastic, an almost movie theater experience.Setup was very simple after getting it mounted to the back wall of the room. I turned it on, focused, used the manual zoom to fit the pattern image to the width of the screen. I then used the lens shift to bring the image in line with the screen vertically. Adjusting the mount I got the image as level as possible. I then manually zoomed so no edge was inside the perimeter of the screen. Using the corner adjustment in the projector menu, I was able to bring any side or corner of the image that was outside the screen edge to exactly align with the edge. I have not had to re-do this since setting it up a month ago.I keep the power setting in Eco mode and it's still plenty bright. If you use the other power mode, the fan speed clicks up a notch. I've made a few color adjustments using settings I found on the internet. And with these settings, to my eyes, the white balance looks best in the "Cold" setting.Pros: Relatively low cost for 4K, HDR, 3D. Very bright. Very sharp. Very quiet. Color is excellent.Cons: Not the best black level (black is always dark grey). Built-in speaker is very basic. A bit of "rainbow" effect can be seen if you move your eyes rapidly.

Ignore the temporary room setup in one of the pics…but I have this about 12’ from the screen with a 142” screen. It’s a super clear 4k picture. Just as good as the 65” TV in another room that cost more. This works exceptionally well at night. The brightness during the day with lights on is not great. It works, but it’s not TV quality. I put a dimmer on my lights and if I turn them down halfway it makes a huge difference in the colors and brightness. You can’t get much brighter at this price point though. I highly recommend if this is your price range. It does have built in speakers, but I have them turned off and use a soundbar + sub.

I have owned my Epson 2250 (1080P) for almost 4 years (replaced the bulb at 3 years when it flickered).I wanted so much to love the Viewsonic because it's 4k and laser. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.SAME:- Sitting 14' away from the 150in screen, I don't see any more sharpness/detail.- ECO mode: fan noise sounds the same (specs said Viewsonic 26db, Epson 28db).- Both have vertical shift 15 degreesPRO:- trigger input- laser life is 4x longer than lamp bulb- a few inches not as deep as my Epson- remote has back lightCON:- picture color is not as good as my Epson 2250.- The 1.36x zoom is better than average but still not as good as my Epson at 1.6x zoom, so the Epson has no oversplash beyond the screen.

Great projector for the cost. I replaced my 4k TV and it is just about the same quality. I use it for Switch games, PC games and AppleTV. My ROKU 4k had problems, which I attribute to the Roku itself as it also had issues with an Optima I was testing. I switched to AppleTV and most issues dissappear. Only small complaint is whenever it detects the resolution, a fairly large dialog box to turn off keystoning to use the highest framerate, which I don't care to do. Seems the only way to remove the dialog permanently is to precisely mount the projector so you do not have to use keystone. A project for another day.

Update: The brightness in this projector is highly inadequate. It can only be used in dark rooms or in the night. I would never buy this again.The only reason I am giving this 3 stars instead of 5 stars is the throw distance. I have a 100 inch screen and a throw distance of 12 ft but the zoom is not good enough to shrink the image down. So I have the image bleeding off the screen. I had a rosin projector before that had much greater ability to adjust zoom. The image is good but it’s not worth the price.

Bought this after returning 2 projectors, a benq that continually overheated, and a optoma that had a dim washed out picture. Finally... This projector is the one!

This is my first projector and I was torn between an 80” oled and this. This is by far way bette and so happy I got it. Don’t cheap out on the screen. Got a 1.1 gain elite screen and am happy I did.My projector is in the same room as a salt water fish tank where I have huge leds to grow coral. No issue seeing the tv with the leds blaring and curtains open and seems as clear as a oled with all the ambient light.My only complaint/comment for the next model is the onboard speaker because the speaker on my smart phone is comparable or a little better. I have a sound bar so not a huge issue… but you are going to want to buy a different speaker with this unit.
