PX701HD Home Cinema Projector

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 projectors If 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 throw The 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 mode Overall 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.

Buen producto pero le faltaría más zoom

Ich suchte ewig nach einem geeigneten Beamer für ein kleines Schlafzimmer-Heimkino. Meine Voraussetzungen waren Full-HD, leiser Betrieb und helle Wiedergabe. Ich habe den Beamer an die Decke in ca. 2,55m Entfernung zu einer Leinwand montiert und bekomme so ein Bild von ca. 75", völlig ausreichend für abendliche Film-/Serienabenteuer. Der Beamer bietet ein tolles, scharfes und helles Bild (der Raum wird meistens halb abgedunkelt, normales Tageslicht geht auch, aber natürlich schlechter). Der Zoom-Bereich ist nicht sonderlich hoch, man sollte den Beamer also vor der Montage mal kurz an der vorgesehen Position halten und schauen ob das Bild ca. passt. Die digitale Trapezkorrektur funktioniert auch tadellos. Einige könnte es vielleicht stören, dass man den besagten "Rand" sieht, welcher dann nicht gerade verläuft. Hier einfach das Testbild aufrufen und mit diesem in den Einstellungen arbeiten, dann bekommt man das super hin! Er hängt ca. 2m über unseren Köpfen und ist wahrnehmbar, aber nicht störend. Ich betreibe das Gerät meistens im "Eco-Modus", hier ist er noch leiser als im Normalbetrieb und das Bild ist trotzdem noch hell und schön. Der eingebaute Lautsprecher ist OK, aber langfristig sollte man sich etwas anderes überlegen, dafür klingt die Sache einfach zu blechern und "handy-like". Auffällig und ein Rücksendegrund war kurzfristig, dass der Beamer nach dem Einschalten sehr laut ist, so als würde der Lüfter irgendwo streifen. Dieses Geräusch ist aber nach ein paar Minuten Betrieb wieder vollständig weg. Ich vermute einfach, dass dies auf einen "Kaltstart" zurückzuführen ist. Um diesen Preis bekommt man ein tolles Gerät, welches für mittlere Ansprüche völlig ausreicht! Wer ausschließlich mit einem Beamer TV oder Filme schaut sollte ohnehin in ein höherwertiges Gerät investieren. Für uns war ein Kriterium, dass wir mit Beamer/Leinwand/Soundsystem (2.0 JBL Boxen mit Mini-Amp via AUX 3,5mm) nicht über 600€ kommen. Durch einen Tages-Deal konnte ich den Beamber um knapp 420€ ergattern, ich hätte ihn aber auch um den Normalpreis gekauft. Kaufempfehlung!

Tengo con el 4 años y 5 meses, lo he tenido sin pantalla y solo proyectándolo a la pared, sus 3500 lúmenes ansi son suficientes cuando llega la noche, es un placer disfrutar el contenido tan nítido, le falta brillo durante el día con las cortinas abiertas y en la noche se puede ver aún si hay lámparas encendidas aún con buena calidad. Lo tengo a 2.50 metros de distancia y proyecta 115 pulgadas la pantalla. El ventilador no hace ningún ruido. Si tuviera que ponerle algún pero sería al control remoto, los botones ya no responden igual pero es entendible. En el audio es necesario que le instales una bocina, yo lo tengo conectado a una barra de sonido Roku con streaming y se oye fenomenal. El proyector lo ocupo ocasionalmente con una consola ps4 y el audio va con un cable óptico de la consola a la barra de sonido, no hay retraso, se juega super bien. Al inicio estaba entre este y el Benq th671st pero con el tiempo me doy cuenta que el Viewsonic no le pide nada. Tuve una TV LG y me duró muy poco por lo que opte por un proyector, siendo este mi primer experiencia, sin duda volveré a comprar un proyector de la marca Viewsonic porque es confiable y de buena calidad ya que hasta ahora no ha fallado en nada, lo recomiendo al 100%.

So, I bought this projector back in June 2018 the first time for a church I worked for and they wanted to upgrade from their old one. And, idk why I waited so long to write a review. I am writing this now in August 2022 cause I was just talking to the current Video engineer for the church as he was asking for the link for this projector since they Wana buy another one. The pi ture quality is beyond amazing. Even with lights on in the church, (BRIGHT LED LIGHTS) you can still see clearly. I personally don't think it actually is 3600 Lumens, but it has to be at least 3000. The fan isn't loud either. Even tho it has one HDMI input, we were able to use a 4-way HDMI splitter to send the computer, the video camera switcher and the DVD to it. I can't speak on the built in speaker as we connected it directly to the sound system. Other than that, awesome projector to have. Lightweight, and easy to navigate thru as well. Definitely recommend for church, home use, or classroom use as well. Will update with picture later. Hopefully I can get one from them during the day.

Premetto che ho sempre aquistato proiettori con un massimo di spesa di 250€ che promettotto tanti lumen, bluetooth,wife, mirroring per connettere il telefono, inizialmente godibili ma dopo circa un anno presentavano tutti idelle macchioline sui lati dello schermo man mano andandosi a ingrandire fino a rendere la visione dei film impossibile.viewsonic non promette solo,come fanno molti,ma mantiene le caretterischice indicate immagini e colori veramente belle, la ventola per il raffreddamento e silenziosa,molte regolazioni per colore, sistema eco, super eco, eco Dynamic ecc ecc per avere un buon prodotto vale la pena spendere qualcosa in più invece di cercare la qualità in prodotti più economici che dopo un anno sono inutilizzabili.sodisfatto in pieno dell'aquisto.
