ViewSonic PX701HD Full HD Home Cinema and Business Projector (3500 Lumens, 1080p, DLP, Dual HDMI, 3X Fast Input, SuperColor Technology, 10W Speakers) - White

If like me, you've been confused and overwhelmed by the seemingly endless catalogue of projectors on amazon, then please read this review. It will save you a lot of time.The lumens of the no-name brands on amazon are wildly optimistic. 5000...6000 even 7000 lumens, all in a £150 projector. This isn't possible.Having had 2 of these projectors and selling or sending them back, I can tell you that with this projector you are getting the real deal.3500 lumens in this projector means a picture that is about 2x as bright as the 5500 lumens elphas projector that I just returned.So if I were you, stick with the big reputable brands. You will pay more, but you will get what you paid for!The image on this is crisp, well saturated and vibrant.The moving image quality is fantastic with a specific game mode to increase the refresh rate.It's also very small. It's about 20cm deep so inhabits a small footprint. It comes with 3x m8 screw points to ceiling mount (you'll need a mount) and little adjustable feet of you want to put it on a surface.It has vertical keystone to correct the image if there is distortion from its positioning, but no horizontal correction, so you'll need it to be square to the screen.Loads of inputs and outputs so no issues with connection. If you want to connect to a decent sound system then I'd recommend getting a hdmi audio splitter to send the audio via optical direct to your system, rather than routing through the projector and out of the 3.5mm output.All in all I can't explain just how much brighter and sharper this is compared to the no name brand projectors. There is a review on YouTube where he compares this with one of those and its pretty obvious which is better.Get this... Or something like this... If you have the budget and you want a good picture.If you don't have the budget then the cheaper projectors are OK, just don't expect a 5000 lumens picture.

Absolute quality projector. Easy to install (mine is ceiling mounted using a £9.99 bracket) and the set up was a doddle.Picture quality is excellent (1080p resolution) and it has sound if you need it.Run ours through and AV amp and ceiling mounted KEF speakers anf the overall experience is superb.At just over 2m from screen we get the full 92" on an Optoma pull down screen and it's crystal clear.At under £549 and compating to Optoma and BenQ pricing I feel that this was a steal.

I did a LOT of reading before ending up woth this viewsonic. I also ordered several other viewsonics in lower resolutions before getting this.It had some key features like ansi verified lumins not just wild claims, dlp card that allows for good clear colours and a lamp which I've found through lots of reading is what you end up coming back to with very high end projectorsIf you have a lot of money and want ultra short throw then the laser ones are an option.If you have more money still I believe they go back to lamps as a light source.But what I found after spending £400 on this unit is that theres a lot of light "leakage" around the screen edge even without much keystone correction in use.I've had to add velvet curtains to combat this. Its worst in dark films or low light films.On the whole I'm pleased with the clarity and noise levels of the the viewsonic.But a friend recently bought a wimo budget led projector and I have to say its impressive. There seems to be no light leakage, picture is clear and annoyingly some features like zoom scale the picture to fit, effectively making the sceeen bigger or smaller on the wall.Where as my £400 viewsonic doesn't scale the picture when you zoom, it simply cuts off some of the outer area. (That said you can use the optical zoom on the lens but not to nearly the same scale of difference in projected screen size)

Super bright, very good quality (not perfect but MORE than good enough and what you should expect at this price). I'm really happy with this purchase, this is the 3rd projector I've tried off Amazon after returning the previous 2 cheap unbranded ones. It's always better to go for a name brand IMO, won't make that mistake again!

PX706HD short throwThe picture quality is VERY good and latency is great for gaming, which was the main reason for purchase.Very easy to use with minimal setup.-----Remote control is not backlit which really doesn't help in the dark.Focus wheel feels VERY stiff, so much so it makes the picture move up and down when trying to adjust it.Louder than I thought but quiet in eco modeOverall I'm happy because the picture quality is great.Price paid £550 31/03/19

Bright colours,good quality picture display

Fantastic

I bought the product about a month back and within three weeks of usage the lamp has gone faulty. Since then I am struggling with viewsonic customer services to get the lamp replaced.Don't buy the product not because it became faulty but for terrible customer services.
