ViewSonic PX701-4K UHD 4K Projector with 3200 Lumens, 240Hz, 4.2ms, HDR, Auto Keystone, Dual HDMI for Home Theater

Works well as a computer monitor
I wanted to add a review for using this as a computer monitor in case others were thinking of the same.The unit is very bright. I don’t have to close my windows if I’m looking at high contrast things like text. Color isn’t maybe as good as more expensive projectors, but I found it to be fine. I found that using 1080p resolution for desktop use was better than 4k as the pixels are a bit fuzzy at that resolution which makes text not look as good. This is due to the pixel shifting tech used (any 4k projector sub $1600-2000 will use this). The screen is very detailed at 4k showing movies and games, however, and the pixel shifting kind of adds a bit of an anti-aliasing effect. I dare say I might actually prefer a pixel shifting projector for computer use as it lets you decide between 4k 60hz and 240hz 1080p with both modes having their own strengths. I feel I have two monitors I like for different reasons which is cool. There is just a slight perceptible lag on 4k, but its really not bad. I don’t notice any at 1080p 240hz. And it really does go that high, the difference between 120 and 240hz is noticeable, and it looks really good at the high refresh rate. I actually prefer it over my 144hz 1440p monitor. I don’t think this would be good enough for esports compared to a 240hz monitor, but its very close. Remember to use the game mode.Overall it works better than I expected as a computer monitor and I’m happy with it and feel it was a good value for the money.Other thoughts-I wish the power plug was longer. I’m not going to install this in ceiling, and I had to use an extension cord for it to reach down to a plug that is only a few feet horizontally away.-The remote is a bit old fashioned looking. Not a big deal to me but I think ViewSonic should update the design.-Sometimes the unit makes a strange whirling sound that is annoying. Usually it doesn’t and it has done it less as I have used it. Its not the fan, it sounds like something is spinning that is not lubricated. When this isn’t happening I found the fan noise to be fairly low and constant.-Its very easy to switch between modes like normal and eco, needing only one button to be hit. This is really nice since the bulb has a lifespan. If I know I’m going to step away from the computer for a few minutes or am going to just be looking at text I can switch it to super eco in two seconds.-SuperEco at 240hz flickers, changing to a different refresh rate fixes this.Some tips:-Dynamic Eco is basically as good as normal in terms of color and brightness at least when its showing a bright image. That’s my main setting. I think it just dims when the screen is dark. It is better than eco (but not super eco) in terms of bulb life according to the manual.-Make sure your resolution is 1920 by 1080 if you want 240hz. If its 1920 by 1200 if will default to 120hz.-if the projector is located above you, make sure you turn the projector upside down. It will need next to no keystone correction that way which keeps the image at native.

Gordon Ramsay would be pleased
Finally! Finally some good freaking food!If your here reading my review wanting to know if this is the one? Yes, yes it is, but you should really read my entire review.I’ve been using BenQ and ViewSonic projectors over the last decade. I love projectors, my living room is setup with a 100″ 1.4gain motorized screen and a Dolby Atmos 5.1 surround sound system with a Sony box.Getting a projector installed correctly, dialed in and everything configured is significantly more work than just going to Walmart and buying a 65″ TV for $400 and calling it a day. My god though the experience just doesn’t compare. This ViewSonic is a light cannon and while does best with blackout curtains, it’s easy to view in the daytime. The HDR works way better than I imagined it would and the high refresh rate at 1440p is awesome and a game changer. I have a “Steam Machine” gaming PC in the living room and it’s so cool how well everything just plays well together.This thing is a serious piece of equipment and if you want to setup a home theater room I can’t recommend it enough.

Hasta ahora, todo muy bien con este proyector. Relamente no necesita estar completamente oscuro para observar una imagen decente. La resolucion es muy buena y el contraste con los tonos oscuros es realmente bueno.

Très bon matériel mais j’ai préféré changer pour le modèle 971 qui propose une image plus large pour un recul équivalent.Sinon la qualité d’image est superbe, lumineuse et bien piquée en 4KSur les scènes rapides, aucun problème.
