ViewSonic PX701-4K 4K UHD 3200 Lumens 240Hz 4.2ms Home Theater Projector with HDR, Auto Keystone, Dual HDMI, Sports and Netflix Streaming with Dongle on up to 300 Screen

Only qualms are I wish the volume had more range (I have it hooked up to separate aux speakers and have to change those - which dont have a remote - if i want a meaningful change in volume) and same with brightness (its bright enough but i wish it could go darker!). also its not Smart so if you want to connect it to the internet (which almost everyone does) you need a separate smart device like a Roku or Chromecast

Decided to build a projector screen (PVC board) for our patio area for nighttime movies. Since it is outside, I didnt want to trying to mount a projector and found out about short throw units like this. Screen size is 138 (diagonal), projector is about 7 away, and only 15 off the ground. I built a custom stand to allow quick tilting and levelling adjustments. This unit is awesome! Nice and bright, clear HD picture (Chromecast TV HDMI dongle), zoom/focus/keystone adjustments are simple to do quickly from the top of the unit and were good to go. Very satisfied!

I bought this projector for our outdoor patio. Some people claim that you can watch things in daylight, that is not true. The picture is visible in daylight but too washed out to enjoy. We use it once it gets dark out and it gets very bright then. This is a 1080P projector and looks great at proper viewing distances (not too close up). We have it projecting an image on a 100 screen. Colors are accurate, picture is bright, and there isnt much visible lag.

Entry level, reasonably bright 4K projector with satisfactory sharpness, adequate color and blacks, for the average person. If you are looking for the utopian 4K projector that is both cheap and awesome then you are looking at the wrong product. I do like it better than the 1080p projector it is replacing which was a decent BenQ 1080p projector. The BenQ ANSI brightness was 2200. The ViewSonic True 4K UHD 3200 Lumens is 3200 obviously. What they actually light output is, Im not qualified to measure or say. That said, the ViewSonic is distinctly brighter. The colors and blacks may actually be worse than the BenQ but I cant measure that either and the increased brightness creates a much more appealing image so I dont really care. The 3200 ANSI lumens is not bright enough for use in our family room (no window shades) during the day but would be fine for evening use or in a basement. I did purchase this as factory refurbished from ViewSonic here on Amazon. On the plus side, it appears to work fine. On the negative side, it had clearly been used to the point where the lens was dusty, the unit had a few marks, and the remote was dirty looking on the backside. The smudgy dirtiness on the remote was a bit off putting. Id like to think that ViewSonic (or their designee refurb location) would at least use a wipe to clean it before repackaging and shipping off to the next customer. Given the use the unit appeared to have, I have to wonder how many hours were put on the unit before refurb. However, Im not too concerned. Given this is an entry level unit that was at a very attractive price point, Ill be happy to get 4 or 5 years out of it.

Ich bin zwiegespalten, was diesen Beamer angeht. Für 750€ im Black Friday Angebot sicher ein gutes Schnäppchen für einen 4K-Beamer. Die Einrichtung ist relativ einfach und durch verschiedene Einstellungsmöglichkeiten wie Krümmung, Ecken ziehen und Trapez lässt sich das Bild auch gut einstellen, wenn der Beamer nicht mittig steht. Leider überzeugt mich das Bild nicht vollends und stundenlange Einstellungen an den Reglern brachten zwar ein gutes, aber kein phänomenales Bild. Zum einen lässt sich die Schärfe beim Ansehen einer UHD-Disk (XBox One X) über HDMI-Kabel in den Bildeinstellungen nicht verstellen, was mich schon etwas stört. Ich gehöre leider zu der Gattung die immer noch ein wenig nachschärfen wollen, um ein knackigeres Bild zu bekommen. Dies funktioniert aber leider nur über Streaming oder beim Konsole spielen. Beim Schauen über Disc ist die Einstellung warum auch immer blockiert. Zusätzlich sind die Schwarzwerte kaum vorhanden, weswegen man bei dunklen Szenen ständig einen Grauschleier zum Nebeneffekt hat. Hier wird unbedingt eine Hochkontrastleinwand benötigt. Das macht mein 200€ FHD-Beamer besser. Leider bildet sich auch während des Schauens ein heller Lichtrahmen um das Bild, was zusätzlich ablenkt. Desweiteren ist die Bildgröße ziemlich begrenzt. Bei einem Abstand von 5m schafft es der Beamer kaum meine Wand mit 150 Zoll voll auszuleuchten. Es gibt zwar einen digitalen Zoom, dieser vergrößert aber nur das Bild in sich, weswegen Teile vom Bild abgeschnitten werden, aber die Fläche bleibt dieselbe. Im Großen und Ganzen macht er ein anständiges Bild, lohnt sich für mich als Update zu meinem sehr guten Full-HD Beamer aber nicht. Da warte ich dann doch lieber auf einen besseren 4K-Beamer.

I finally decided to buy a projector for hunker-at-home movies during corona times. This 4K projector, @ ~$900, was a great balance of cost vs functionality. @ 3200 lumens, its very decent brightness when the sun goes under, and decent enough in daytime. I chose not to buy a unit with advanced audio processing since I intended to use the projector with firestick. I also purchased a vizio 5.1 sound bar and use bluetooth to connect to the audio, and its been great. The down side of using bluetooth is that you do have to touch the sound bar remote to get it connected. however, saved hundreds of $$ w/o the advanced audio in the projector. One gripe: when the unit goes asleep due to non-activity, the screen goes blank, but it does not shut off the lamp. This seems a bit of an oversight that it could shutoff the bulb and save the bulb lifespan. All-in-all, pretty happy with it.

The projector looks pretty good out of the box. I’d like to be able to tweak color but the software for doing this is only PC compatible and they do not support Mac. Most Colors are pretty good but magenta is dark and not accurate when wet up beside a Flanders reference monitor. I make a living as a colorist so have a pretty good handle on how things should look. Definitely worth the money paid.

The instruction manual is really brief. Most functions are self explanatory but I could not get the #$*% wake on hdmi signal to work. I had the wake on hdmi option to on and set power off timer to 10 minutes (which is correct). Finally realized that when the projector shuts down it cools for about a minute and the green power light flashes repeatedly while its cooling. When the light finally goes off THEN the projector will wake up when it receives an hdmi signal. Great picture, put it in gamer mode and tried some eldon ring and theres not really any perceptible lag at all, Im impressed.

The short throw distance made setup a breeze. I put this on my coffee table in the living room and it gave me 100” from less than 5’ away. This projector is bright, and the color is amazing. It also has this 3X fast input feature built-in for fast action games. I tried street fighter on my PS4 and felt really responsive with no lag at all. I highly recommend this projector for gaming and movies.

Brand new and there is a pixel burnt out right in the middle
