PX701-4K 3200 Lumens 4K Projector, 240Hz and HDR Support for Smooth Home Entertainment, 1.1x Optical Zoom, Auto V-Keystone, and H/V Keystone for Flexible Setup, and Dual HDMI Inputs

I wanted to add a review for using this as a computer monitor in case others were thinking of the same. The unit is very bright. I don't have to close my windows if I'm looking at high contrast things like text. Color isn't maybe as good as more expensive projectors, but I found it to be fine. I found that using 1080p resolution for desktop use was better than 4k as the pixels are a bit fuzzy at that resolution which makes text not look as good. This is due to the pixel shifting tech used (any 4k projector sub $1600-2000 will use this). The screen is very detailed at 4k showing movies and games, however, and the pixel shifting kind of adds a bit of an anti-aliasing effect. I dare say I might actually prefer a pixel shifting projector for computer use as it lets you decide between 4k 60hz and 240hz 1080p with both modes having their own strengths. I feel I have two monitors I like for different reasons which is cool. There is just a slight perceptible lag on 4k, but its really not bad. I don't notice any at 1080p 240hz. And it really does go that high, the difference between 120 and 240hz is noticeable, and it looks really good at the high refresh rate. I actually prefer it over my 144hz 1440p monitor. I don't think this would be good enough for esports compared to a 240hz monitor, but its very close. Remember to use the game mode. Overall it works better than I expected as a computer monitor and I'm happy with it and feel it was a good value for the money. Other thoughts -I wish the power plug was longer. I'm not going to install this in ceiling, and I had to use an extension cord for it to reach down to a plug that is only a few feet horizontally away. -The remote is a bit old fashioned looking. Not a big deal to me but I think ViewSonic should update the design. -Sometimes the unit makes a strange whirling sound that is annoying. Usually it doesn't and it has done it less as I have used it. Its not the fan, it sounds like something is spinning that is not lubricated. When this isn't happening I found the fan noise to be fairly low and constant. -Its very easy to switch between modes like normal and eco, needing only one button to be hit. This is really nice since the bulb has a lifespan. If I know I'm going to step away from the computer for a few minutes or am going to just be looking at text I can switch it to super eco in two seconds. -SuperEco at 240hz flickers, changing to a different refresh rate fixes this. Some tips: -Dynamic Eco is basically as good as normal in terms of color and brightness at least when its showing a bright image. That's my main setting. I think it just dims when the screen is dark. It is better than eco (but not super eco) in terms of bulb life according to the manual. -Make sure your resolution is 1920 by 1080 if you want 240hz. If its 1920 by 1200 if will default to 120hz. -if the projector is located above you, make sure you turn the projector upside down. It will need next to no keystone correction that way which keeps the image at native.

This would have been a 5 Stars projector if the first one I received was not defective. I was really impressed with the picture quality of this projector once I got it working. Which makes it a worthy replacement of my previous Mitsubishi DLP HD projector. Unfortunately, it was clear that I received a defective unit !!!!!!!!! This was clear to me within minutes of plugging in a 4K Apple TV unit as the source. I immediately heard a loud grinding sound. stopped everything unplugged everything and restarted... The same grinding started again. It was so loud and actually louder than my coffee beans grinder-No kidding! I removed the HDMI and connected a brand new 4K Apple TV that I had intended for this projector. It seemed to work fine and allowed me to adjust the image to my taste. A lot of control over color, picture quality. Overall excellent picture quality in 4k bright and detailed. On the first unit that was defective, there was somewhat a loud flickering sound -similar to an old 16mm projector running a film that was not as loud as the grinding sound I experienced with the first Apple TV I connected. It seemed really strange. When I pause the show, the sound stops, when I resume playing the show, the sound returns. I had to send it back and repurchase it again. I will update this review once I receive the replacement. Pros: -Super bright picture - that you can watch even with some daylight or soft dim light in the room. -High Quality picture -Beautiful colors -Smooth gradients and grayscales -Good on screen menu -Responsive remote (if you want the backlit version of this remote, it comes only with the PX 748 model) -Smooth zoom and focus ring for easy adjustment -Very Sharp picture from corner to corner -Auto Keystone feature - saves a lot of time and effort. -3 years warranty. Cons: Defective unit - makes me worry about quality control ***Update 12/15/22 I received my PX-701 4K replacement! Very quiet fan which confirmed that the first one I received was defective! Stunning picture quality on a good quality 100" screen ! I attached several photos from Apple TV as the source with 100" electric motorized screen by Elite Screens I do recommend this projector! It is a bargain for a 4K projector under $1000. ***Update 12/28/2022. I'm truly in love with this projector, specially after testing 5 different projectors from different brands. In that $900 range, I haven't seen a single 4K capable projector that comes even close to this 3200 lumens brightness and picture quality. I highly recommend it! **** NEW Update: October 22, 2025 Almost 3 years later and the projector is still working good. Picture quality is still impressive from an Apple TV 4K especially with good quality programs! Brightness and clarity on some new movies and programs still look amazing!

I bought this about 5 months ago. I wanted a projector for a medium sized space, which I could play games at 4k, and watch movies, whilst also being able to switch between my PC and Nintendo Switch 2 (once it was released). I am more than happy with my purchase! Pros - - Can play 4k games - Large screen area (roughly 1.8x1.5m) - Can be mounted upside down. Cons - - Expensive - Fan noise is a little loud, but not overly so - 4k movies are not good to watch - the low Hz (60) makes them jittery Overall though, a fantastic buy! I would buy again if I was to relive the moment with my knowledge!

Hasta ahora, todo muy bien con este proyector. Relamente no necesita estar completamente oscuro para observar una imagen decente. La resolucion es muy buena y el contraste con los tonos oscuros es realmente bueno.

Outstanding product for the price. Excellent for my golf simulator.

Basta settarlo e non spostarlo più.

Dieser Beamer ist Extraklasse. Um unter 1000€ sehr empfehlenswert. Derzeit nutze ich ihn noch ohne Leinwand, da ich aktuell auf eine Entfernung von 3 Metern schaue. Projiziert 110 cm Höhe und 200 cm Breite Habe euch ein Video und Foto dazu Hochgeladen. Superhell und auch bei Tageslicht zu gebrauchen. Es empfiehlt sich eine Kontrastleinwand im Dunkeln, da er auf Weise Wände sehr abstrahlt. Sobald ich die passende Leinwand dazu besorgt habe, füge ich dies hier hinzu. 4k pixelshift ist für mich auf jeden Fall mehr wie ausreichend. Macht Fußball, Kinofilme in einem sauberen Bild. Fire tv stick angeschlossen und ab geht's. Was man beachten sollte ist die Positionierung. Höhe zur Wanddecke, da ich ihn nicht hängend von der Decke, sondern von einem Verbau strahlen lasse. Fazit: Wollte zuerst Retournieren, da kein W-lan, Apps, 3D etc. aber nun doch behalten und sehr zufrieden! Nachtrag heute: ich liebe ihn noch immer! So ein tolles Gerät! Alles funktioniert reibungslos!
