ViewSonic X1000-4K True 4K UHD Ultra-Short Throw Projector with 1000 ANSI Lumens, Harman Kardon Speakers, HDMI, USB C, 125% Rec 709, Frame Interpolation Technology for Home Theater

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'll lead with the pros because my overall impression is positive. At the price I paid, the X1000-4K is an incredible value. For casual movie watchers, it never ceases to amaze. Mine setup on a lift-top occasional table and projects an image roughly the size of a 65-70" television in the "down" position. In the "up" position, it projects an image over 100". Since it's an LED projector, I don't deal with any laser whine and only have minimal fan noise. I've yet to purchase a subwoofer and have just been using the built-in Harman/Kardon soundbar. I've contemplated adding a couple Apple HomePods since I'm already in the Apple ecosystem. I currently use an Apple TV4K as my primary streaming device. The biggest negative I'm going to mention in this review is probably specific to my device. That is, I think mine may be defective. Despite ensuring it's running the latest firmware, has adequate airflow, etc., it sometimes randomly power cycles. This occurs 2-3 times a week with no rhyme or reason. The weirdest part is that it usually occurs within just seconds after the unit is fully powered and loaded for the first time that day. I haven't tried to file a warranty claim because I fear the process will be unnecessarily complicated and lengthy. I also can't replicate the problem with any sort of regularity, so I don't want to go through the process of sending the unit in only to be told the problem couldn't be replicated. The other negative is the OS. It's extremely clunky with an almost unusable app store. I would strongly prefer a "dumb" version of this projector since I'm using a streaming device anyway.

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.

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 🤬🥵

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.

Good quality of sound and 4K image Just have to be in center, it would be perfect with 6Keypoint adjustment
