ViewSonicX100-4K 4K UHD Projector with 1200 ANSI Lumens, Harman Kardon Speakers, HDMI, USB, 125% Rec 709, and Frame Interpolation Technology for Home Theater

If you're looking for a ceiling-mounted projector, this one is an excellent choice. The picture quality is outstanding for the price, and the lamp life of 30,000 hours is unparalleled. You can easily use a Google Chromecast plugged into the projector or a receiver to stream apps without any issues. As long as the size and weight are not a concern for you, this projector stands out as a top option in its class, in my opinion.

I've been looking FOREVER to find a 4k short throw projector to replace my EPSON 1060 and this was the only one with the throw distance that could fit in my room and match the size of the screen we had.I loved the color with the 3 LCD chip on the Epson and was hoping to get one of theirs but ALL the dang projectors were bulky and too long of a throw.As this was literally the only one that worked that wasn't a ultra short throw ( I have family with small children that come by ) that plays 4K it was technically my only choice if I wanted to play on the ps5 in all its glory. Luckily I have the ps4 Pro and could at least test its 4k capability AND HDR . The results were at times good, and other times...ok. Particularly for the HDR, more on that later.Pros:-Very sharp 4k image, good colors, deep reds-Decent brightness for some situations, would still recommend a darker room but can preform well with some ambient light-Short throw is super short (0.8 for 100in screen)-Speakers are the BEST speakers I have heard on a projector, though I listen through a surround sound set up myself-Wireless dongle it comes with works, has some apps that are useful for on the go viewing. (youtube, pandora, web browser) but not a whole lot of app choices. No google or apple store.-ability to use as a bluetooth speaker with the option to turn off the light element, very nifty.-LED light with DLP has almost completely gotten rid of the rainbow effect that I would see with other DLP projectors-DOES have screw mounts on bottom to hang from ceiling ( that's how I have it )-App that lets you mirror your phone, for both ios and android, on the projector. It's a bit too janky to watch videos from your phone on it, but fun for slideshows and memes or whatever.-aux output for aux speakers or bluetooth if you wish-Usb C input for phones or charging but mine didn't work for video (Samsung s10)CONS-THE CONTROLLER SUCKS! I did not receive the cool wheel controller, I got a simple black crappy buttons controller that only registers half the dam time. Just turning the thing on is a freakin chore, almost negating all the positivity given for the few apps it do have. You have to point it at a particular part of the projector and even then sometimes it won't work.-Eco mode ironically keeps overheating the projector and forcing it to shut down. It does consume less energy and dim the screen which is fine, but I think it also underpowers the fans too much.-The HDR on this sucks. It's too blown out and the colors are all wrong. I tried to recalibrate but no go. I don't know if an update could fix but I would at least hope so. Benq did a better job with their HDR solutions, though still not perfect.-The controller is freaking garbage, seriously-The app it comes with is bare bones and only allows you to make a few selections. If it allowed me to be able to use the app instead of the dumb controller I'd be nicer, but it doesn't allow you to even TURN ON the freaking projector, only turn off and use arrows to make a choice. Why can't it just mirror the projector app? Dunno.-It has an automatic focus and keystone, both digital and can only be controlled with the controller or the wheel button on the projector. This is a con because the Keystone is ONLY vertical, and the Focus needs to be done a number of times as it seems to randomly go out of focus, or at least miss the focus while it is apparently warming up.-The frame interpolation deal sometimes wrecks the signal. I'll get static around the edges that only go away if I restart the projector and turn of the setting. I just keep it off now.-There is some Lag, it's not that bad really, about as much as the Epson I had am still able to enjoy rocket league on it, but if you're sensitive to lag the Benq TK850 is a decent 4k gaming option but a longer throw :/So it's pretty good, if you need a short throw 4k projector it is as of today basically your only choice unless you want to go ultra short throw.But don't get for HDR, still needs work.

Purchased on 1st August 2020.1. 98% of the Apps are Non US based Apps(and those apps says not available in your region), except Amazon prime video and Netflix,2. YouTube comes with different versions like Main, Pro, Alt and etc. This has an additional problem. If you install Main and Alt, I lose video (picture won't be seen).2a. When watching YouTube, and if you try to check for other videos by mouse down (you generally see a list (grid) of other videos for you to select) the main video will go blank and gives only audio.3. It takes 30-45 seconds to open YouTube.4. You can't cast YouTube , YouTube will crash5. You can't text in Amazon prime video movie search. The Amazon app will crash.6. When you mirror your android phone and if you open xfinity stream, the device is not supported.7. Plex app is just for trailers (whereas a web page gives complete resources)8. Looks like a very old version of system software. I updated and it says I am up to date9. Technically, I really couldn't see the benefit of having Smartness in this projector. No App works even good forget about saying great.12. I dont see some of the apps like Disney+, Xfinity and other most viewed apps.11. Overall from a Smart TV perspective like running Apps, cast, mirror, installing new apps, definitely disappointed by 100%12. There is a lag from Xbox games. My 13yr and 18yr old kids connected back to the TV. They were so excited that they will be enjoying on 120" screen.If someone can answer and help resolving or a solution to this, it really helps.Regards,Ramesh

This product exceeded my expectations for the price. The image is bright. clear and vivid. And while I do not use the soundbar, its is excellent for what it is. Could 100% be a standalone replacement TV.Only downside I see on this is the distance it needs to be from the wall for a large picture. I have a 120" screen and had to pull it away from the wall by two and a half feet.
