Conclusion​

Product	PROS AND CONS​
ViewSonic PX701-4K​	Pros • Brilliant colors and magnificent screen detail • Astonishing 4K image quality with effective pixel shifting • Supports HDR and HLG • Auto keystone feature for easy setup • Bright output with 3200 ANSI lumens • Quiet fan operation Cons • Not a native 4K projector (uses pixel shifting) • Does not support Dolby Vision • Initial setup may require troubleshooting with signal boosters Overall Impression The ViewSonic projector delivers an impressive viewing experience with its vibrant colors and sharp details, making it a solid choice for those looking for a high-quality 4K experience at a reasonable price. Despite some limitations, such as not being a native 4K and lacking Dolby Vision support, it effectively enhances 1080p content and performs well in various viewing scenarios. Overall, it seems to be a worthwhile investment for home entertainment.
ViewSonic LX700-4K​	Pros: • Excellent 4K picture quality, comparable to higher-end TVs • Performs exceptionally well in dark environments • Good value for the price range • Compatible with high-quality screens, enhancing viewing experience Cons: • Inadequate brightness in well-lit rooms • Onboard speaker quality is lacking • Limited zoom capability, causing image bleed on large screens • Requires dim lighting for optimal color and brightness Overall Impression: The projector offers impressive 4K clarity and is a solid choice for nighttime viewing, especially when paired with a good screen. However, it falls short in brightness for daytime use and has limitations with the onboard speaker and zoom functionality. If you primarily watch in dark settings and have external audio solutions, it could be a worthwhile investment, but those needing versatility in bright environments may want to consider other options.
