ViewSonicLX700-4K UHD 4K Laser Projector for Gaming & Home Theater, 3500 ANSI Lumens, 240Hz, 4.2ms Ultra-Fast Input, 300" Display, HDR, 3000000:1 Contrast, Auto H/V Keystone, 1.36x Zoom

I previously had a £200 projector.The upgrade to this meant I had a lot of expectations, but they have all been met.The image quality is superb, even when just projecting onto a white wall, rather than a dedicated screen.Audio isn't brilliant, but like most users (I suspect), I am hooking this up to a soundbar, so that's not an issue.I'm using it exclusively to watch films. It really creates a great cinematic experience in my lounge, and I am very happy with it.

I decided to upgrade my Full HD Epson projector to a 4K projector. Since 4K projectors are much more expensive, I had high expectations. This projector does offer better resolution, with sharper and more detailed images. However, the difference was not as big as I had hoped. I also noticed the colours were not perfect. I might be able to fix this with some manual adjustments, but I expected the default settings to be better. Colours with HDR are much better, just remember increase the brightness to 0 for best results. If you are upgrading from a good Full HD projector, I recommend lowering your expectations a little to avoid being disappointed.Before buying this projector, I tried others, including an Anker Nebula and an Optoma. Both were larger and heavier, and the Optoma had a very loud fan. Compared to those, this projector is much better. It is smaller, lighter, and the fan is nice and quiet. The picture is bright and clear, which is great for watching movies.It does not have built-in smart features or speakers, but I prefer it that way. External speakers and a smart stick do a better job, and this projector focuses on what it should — giving a great picture.There are other features I really like. It has an audio output, which my old Epson projector did not have, so I no longer need an HDMI splitter. The HDMI-CEC works well with my smart stick. The adjustable feet, zoom, and lens tilt make it easy to set up anywhere. For example, I keep my projector on a shelf behind my bed. Other projectors I tried projected too high, and I could not adjust them to point at my screen properly. This one is much easier to position.I have not used it for gaming yet, but it has been great for watching movies. Overall, it is a good upgrade, but make sure you do not expect a huge jump in quality compared to a high-end Full HD projector.

The performance of this projector matches its price tag, during the day or night.The picture quality is superb , I would recommend a proper projector screen fixed if you don’t intend to go portable, however we’ve opted to get a 100” portable screen that we can move fairly easy into the garden and take the project camping with us.As other have said - the sound is not good, but get a 3.5mm headphone speaker and it’s as good as the money your willing to invest in a speaker.I’ve played CODM from my iPhone 15 pro max and it’s flawless, speed is fast, switching weapons is crisp and no motion blur. Biggest drama in that setup is needing to be physically connected for that, but in theory I could use a wireless controller.I personally used my phone to start but found unless you used a genuine apple dongle some apps didn’t work like Sky and Disney very well. So I opted during Prime day to get a 1080p firestick which works really well. At some point I may upgrade to the 4K stick, but our issue is that mostly the tv will stream from my phones network via hotspot to the stick, so streaming 4K would churn through data.Overall , when you actually pause to think about it, it’s a size adjustable 4K telly that can go anywhere you want, which is perfect. People will drop 500-1000 on a tv that will sit in the same spot for years and get replaced - invest in a decent projector instead!

The projector is super bright, the clarity is great and it works in a high-ambient sunlight room. The upside is that, with live sports it gives an excellent experience. The downside is that, with recorded events and TV shows / movies where the frame rate is lower, there is a disturbing 'blurring' of the image when there is movement. It is distracting and disappointing. Playback of recorded sport is particularly bad. I have tried better cables, played around with the input device (SKY UK) and the settings on the projector but nothing fixes the problem.

I didn't realise you could get such a sharp picture from a projector. I've used LED projectors in the past which have ranged from poor to very good but the picture quality on this laser projector is something else.Getting it out you can feel the quality. It's not particularly heavy and you can tell time has been taken to make it as portable as possible but you can feel the value is there.Setting it up was easy and if you're installing it in place of a current projector it has standard fixings on the bottom. There's also a foot on the bottom which can be risen if using it on a table top.Performance is fantastic. I don't have an xbox so can't comment on the 'made for xbox' claims however hooking it up to my ps4 it handled perfectly with zero input lag. Whatever set up you have it will look amazing.What struck me more than anything is how good the picture looks in daylight. Every other projector I've seen really struggles with the smallest amount of light. This laser projector really stood out in that respect as it was more than just watchable in full daylight. It obviously looks best in a dark room but using it during the day is definitely doable.Connectivity and options are all your standard fare with 2x hdmi and also VGA ports with zoom and keystone correction to get the picture aligned.Sound quality is lacking. Don't get me wrong it's not bad, and for a portable impromptu gaming set up round a mates house it'll be fine, however if you're installing it in a fixed position then you really want to have a proper sound system in place. A picture this good really needs the sound to go with it.In short, the picture quality is fantastic and it more than justifies the price tag.
