> 3 dayThis was easy to set up, had it running off a MacBook within two minutes. The short-throw lens is fantastic, but it also projects much wider, easily 100 inches. Picture is crisp, and resolution is great even for high FPS games, which is of course what this projector was designed for. Its also a light unit, very portable. I only wish it had included a padded case at this price. NOTE: if you live above 5000 feet or so, be sure to set the projector to high altitude per the instructions (in the settings menu). This will make the fan run a bit louder, but its worth it to increase the life of the projector.

> 3 dayI dont have much to say about the brightness or picture quality. The built-in speaker has a very high pitched whine until it has been running for 2+ hours. I would not buy this product again.

> 3 dayI purchased a ViewSonic PX701-4k projector from Amazon last week, it was shipped by Provantage LLC and received by me two days ago. I purchased this projector when my Samsung 3DTV died, so I could continued to watch my large library of classic 3D movies on 3D bluray disks. 3DTV sets are no longer made and the only reason why I purchased this projector was to watch my 3D bluray disks. I believed this projector was 3D capable, because in the question and answer section on Amazon, a customer asked if this projector was able to display 3D and the answer from Viewsonic was that it could show 3D. Also, a number of other customers on Amazon who were verified customers also stated that they have this projector and have used it to show 3D bluray disks. When I received the projector it worked normally in 2D mode except that it had no sound. I went to the 3D menu on the projector and enabled 3D, however, when I put A 3D disk in my Samsung 3D bluray player, I got a message saying a 3D display device is not present. 2D bluray disks in this player play normally in 2D through the PX701 projector except for the lack of sound from the audio out jack on the back. I dont know if this projector has internal speakers, but if it does, then they dont work. I have had no other problem with the PX701 projector other than the fact that I cant get the internal speakers or audio output jack to work. The specifications for the projector I found on one web site do say it has internal speakers. I contacted the seller Provantage LLC and they said I would have to contact ViewSonic directly, which I have done, but I havent heard back from them yet. I have seen reference to a firmware uprgade on youtube which said the firmware has to be upgraded to use the projector in 3D mode, but there is no such firmware upgrade on the ViewSonic web site. If this is a case of a firmware update, then Im willing to do that. I dont want to return this projector, because I have no other complaints about it, so I hope Viewsonic will come through with some solution to the problems. I will update this review as I go through the process of trying to get the problem resolved. THIS IS AN UPDATE ADDED ON NOVEMBER 5, 2022. When I contacted Provantage LLC and told them about the problem I was having, they told me there was nothing they could do and I would have to contact Viewsonic directly. I did contact ViewSonic on October 16, 2022 and they opened ticket number 248423 on my complaint. I worked with ViewSonic representatives Juan and Jerry for ten days and tried everything they suggested with no success. We went through all the menus on the projector looking for some setting that would turn off the 3D and sound and found no settings that would account for the problems. I replaced the HDMI cable with a new one that meets the latest specifications, and I tested both my 3D Blu-ray player and home theater sound system with different equipment and there was no problem with either one. I should also point out that the PX-701 projector worked fine as a 2D projector when connected to my Blu-ray player and I played a 2D disk (except there was no sound). On October 27, I contacted Provantage LLC and told them that I worked with ViewSonic for ten days, Juan at ViewSonic insisted that the PX-701 is capable of 3D projection with the version of firmware my projector came with. After working on both problems for ten days, Jerry, at ViewSonic Technical support, concluded that my projector is defective and should be returned. That same day I contacted Provantage LLC and told them ViewSonic recommended that I return the projector. Provantage LLC immediately emailed me a FedEx shipping label and a return authorization number. I returned the projector to Provantage LLC on October 29, 2022. That was a week ago and Im waiting to hear what Provantage LLC is going to do. Ill update this review again when I find out how and when this issue will be resolved.

> 3 dayFür mich ist allein die Lüfterlautstärke schon ein Grund den Beamer nicht mehr zu verwenden. Das Gerät muss schon echt weit weg stehen, damit es erträglich ist. Wenn es aber nur wenige Meter entfernt steht ist es super nervig. Noch dazu ist der Ventilator nach einem halben Jahr defekt. Rattert jetzt nur noch. Keine Kaufempfehlung

11-11-2024Bought this to create a gaming/ theatre room for my ps5. So far it’s been excellent. It supports full 4k 60fps. W HDR Or 1080p 120 fps. Only gripe i have is that the neon green in case as the FIFA logo is much more yellow. But besides that excellent projector. Especially for the money EDIT: I have since set up the colour profile perfectly. For people saying its not saving. They should probably use V Color Tuner. you can accurately set up each individual profile and save it. Through the PC

the crunch
> 3 daybought this to replace the optoma udh30 that failed 17 days out of the 1 yr warranty. should have bought this one first. better warranty, better performance and better picture. auto everything in setting up; even the trapezoid adjustment! i thought i would tune it a little, but i only made it worse. its actually the best picture with everything on auto! fyi i connect this to a yamaha a/v 4k amp with a cable box, xbox and roku; everything looks so much better!

Greater than one weekIts a solid projector that keeps its promises. It feels a bit noisy, but in eco and silent mode its bearable. Still a bit too pricey, even with all the nice features which should be a standard for theese products. Maybe go for the 1080p version since the 4k version isnt native but uses pixel shift, therefore the price difference seems a bit much.

> 3 dayBitte lesen. Bitte vor dem Kauf: Also ich hab den Beamer für mein Büro gekauft, theoretisch war er angedacht meinen Monitor bei Kundenvorstellungen zu streamen. Allerdings taugt dieser kaum, denn mann kann auf den Texten nichts erkennen. Mega unscharf und einfach nur schlecht. Fußballerlebnis? Sicherlich nein. Filme waren schon schlecht genug, Sport macht über kein Spaß. Wie schlecht? Man erkennt nichtmal die Zahlen auf den Trikot. Nichtmal HD das Ding. Finger weg. Wirklich leg ich eich ans Herz. Finger weg Absolut keine Empfehlung. Kein HD. GARANTIERT Kein natives 4K Mega Mega Schade

Its me
> 3 dayThis was initially just a £1000 paperweight! It arrived password locked! The website is useless and I was going to have to return it. But my son sat down and kept trying numbers until he got lucky and unlocked it. The image is superb. Its crystal clear and easy to focus. The keystone adjustment isnt great so its not particularly flexible when it comes to siting it. Having said that, from about 3m, its throwing a 120in wide-screen picture that is fantastic. The difference in picture quality between our previous HD projector and this 4K projector is truly remarkable. The colour depth is good. As with all projectors, it struggles with highlights but its considerably better than most. The speakers really arent very good but we run the sound through a surround sound system anyway. If you are just buying it for the picture as you have a different way to play the sound, this is a great projector. If not, keep looking or budget for a better speaker system too.
