ViewSonic X10-4KE

This is an absolutely stellar product. The picture quality is phenomenal. The onboard speaker system is surprisingly robust. The auto-focus feature works flawlessly. The system is extremely portable and fast to set up. I've used this for client presentations in a conference room, at client meetings I've had outdoors during COVID (even looks decent in daylight), and we've used it for family movie night as well. Performed great in all settings. My biggest word of advice, however, is DON'T CHEAP OUT ON THE SCREEN. You're paying a decent chunk of change for the projector, so make sure you're getting a "4K screen" to match. I've tried this using a low-quality outdoor screen setup and the quality drops off when using outside during the daytime.

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.

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.

Picture is great and is very bright. So no complaints there. My issue is the build quality of thing. It's made of fairly cheap plastic. Since mine is mounted on the ceiling, I don't expect for it to see much abuse in the upcoming years. But I kind of expect the plastic to become brittle in that time as well. Also, the dials that control the horizontal and vertical shift are VERY fragile. I ended up breaking the horizontal knob. Speaking of shifting capability ... the horizontal shift range is pretty limited. One of the main reasons why I got this projector (besides price) is the shifting feature, which should make ceiling mounting a lot easier. I wasn't as attentive when mounting the projector on my ceiling as I normally would've been, figuring I could just shift the image into the correct position. Unfortunately, the horizontal shift range ended up being too small. My final image ended up being a hair too far to the right, and that's with the shift dial turned all the way to left (hence why it's now broken ... I tried to get it go even further to the left). I suppose for a 4k projector with such stunning image at this price point, you can expect for some corners to be cut. Viewsonic obviously spent most of the production budget on making it produce the best image possible. I didn't make use of the smart features nor do I use it's built-in speaker, so I can't comment on that. Also, this thing is huge. My last projector (that this one replaced) is tiny in comparison. The size is probably so it's built-in speaker can have some bass to it.

Great picture and brightness. After having for a week now finding so many issues here. One is setup takes a bit of time and there is no manual or user guide included inside the product packaging. Screen mirroring is pointless on an Android device because Android apps now use casting and to properly cast the projector must be setup as a device in Google Home but Google Home doesn't recognize the device. So essentially there's no way to actually cast videos from Android to the projector unless you're using an older outdated Android device. The smart apps on this thing are also old and some are every deprecated. Calling this a smart device is a joke. Having Wifi and a bunch of Chinese apps nobody outside of China has heard of does not make a smart device for your target customers in the US. Seriously thinking about returning it and getting a refund because feel a bit of deception in the product listing. A Netflix app that only plays in standard def 480 is also pointless on a 4k UHD device. Would it have really been so terrible to include a more modern Android OS on the projector?

This is a brilliant short throw projector. The quality is stunning even from just 60cm from the wall. I can get a 15ft diagonal image from that distance. Watching films is excellent on this. The value for £999 is absolutely amazing. It has a ton of connections. Three HDMI sockets, USB etc and there's no issues connecting a laptop. It auto focuses the image so the set up is incredibly simple. I use it for backdrops on stage productions and it has transformed the quality of the shows. Stunning.

Le faltaban complementos pero aún así decidí probarlo: no es lo que anuncian y lo tengo proyectando sobre una pantalla motorizada pero nada. Lo peor es que lo iba a devolver y el día que pasaban a recogerlo no estaba en casa al estar en el hospital (tengo 72años) y SE ME PASÓ EL PLAZO PARA HACERLO.. y me lo he tenido que tragar 🤬🥵

O projector faz o seu trabalho muito bem imagens vibrantes nítidas e o que está em todas as reviews relatando pretos fracos e cinzentos a minha experiência não tem sido nada parecida, a minha opinião é as pessoas deixarem de ser snobe e acharem que são experts na matéria e realmente serem justos com as críticas que fazem e serem imparciais quando falam eu falo pela minha experiência instalei o projector com uma imagem de 200 polegadas e as imagens são soberbas, se esperam um projector para terem as luzes ligadas então será melhor comprar uma tv, os projectores são desenhados para espaços escuros para conseguirem a melhor imagem possível

The best short throw projector. Zero lag on my PS5 with awesome speakers. If you can afford it go for it.

Great unit, with amazing sound and good picture quality.
