Viewsonic LX700-4K

Idéal pour : À envisager surtout pour le jeu vidéo si le prix est attractif et si les compromis sur les couleurs sont acceptables.
En bref : Les utilisateurs Reddit apprécient surtout la luminosité et la clarté du mode jeu, mais le consensus est très défavorable sur la fidélité des couleurs et la fiabilité. Les réglages améliorent parfois l’image, au prix d’une forte perte de luminosité.
Au-delà de ce modèle, la marque ViewSonic (toutes gammes) recueille 42 % d'avis positifs sur 48 utilisateurs Reddit. Ce signal marque ne compte pas dans la note du modèle ci-dessus.
Points forts
La luminosité est convaincante en mode jeu, mais chute fortement lorsqu’on tente de corriger les couleurs.

r/projectors · Projector for 5m throw distance to 110 inch screen Hi op, have a look around for these models: • Epson EH-TW9400 would be the best in terms of a direct replacement. https://preview.redd.it/c5mw5mgcs8mg1.jpeg?width=1288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67a8333ba72411a7051a9f2bafd32b23fe6358b6 Other options to consider as well: • BenQ W2710i • ViewSonic LX700-4K • Optoma UHD55

r/projectors · Looking for advice: 4K projector for 3.85 m throw / 2.8 m screen - Optoma UHD38x vs ViewSonic PX701-4K vs Epson EH-TW7000 Hi! For a dedicated dark room with your specific throw distance and screen size, the ViewSonic PX701-4K is a high-performance 4K option that fits your requirements perfectly. While many high-brightness projectors are associated with ambient light, this model is designed with versatility in mind, featuring SuperColor™ Technology to ensure vibrant, accurate colors even in a pitch-black cinema environment. Why it works for your setup: * Ideal Throw Ratio: With a 1.5–1.65 throw ratio, it perfectly hits your 2.80 m diagonal screen from 3.85 m away, allowing you to use your existing mounting position without digital distortion. * Cinematic Dark Room Performance: In a dark room, you can engage the SuperEco+ mode or Cinema mode. This lowers the brightness to improve black levels while extending the lamp life up to 20,000 hours—saving you maintenance costs for years. * Superior Gaming & Action: If you use your theater for more than just movies, the 4.2ms ultra-fast input and 240Hz refresh rate provide a level of smoothness that traditional home theater projectors often lack. * True 4K HDR: It supports both HDR10 and HLG, bringing out deep details in the shadows of 4K Blu-rays and streaming content. If you want to move away from lamp-based models entirely, you might also consider the ViewSonic LX700-4K, which uses Laser technology for even more stable brightness and instant-on capabilities.
r/projectors · ViewSonic LX700-4K UHD – pixel shift rattling noise after ~20hrs. Hi! I am very sorry to hear about the rattling noise you're experiencing with your **ViewSonic LX700-4K**. I understand how concerning it is when a new piece of equipment begins making unexpected sounds, especially after such a positive initial experience. Based on your observations, here is some technical insight to help you determine the next steps: * **The Pixel-Shift Mechanism:** You are likely correct that the noise is related to the **XPR pixel-shifting actuator**. This component physically vibrates at a high frequency to deliver a 4K image. Because it only occurs in 4K mode, this confirms the actuator is active. * **Normal vs. Abnormal Noise:** While a subtle high-pitched hum or "buzz" is a standard mechanical byproduct of this technology, a distinct **rattling** that developed after 20 hours is less common. If the sound is loud enough to be heard over your movie audio or sounds like a loose mechanical part, it warrants a closer look. * **Testing Tip:** Please ensure the projector is on a completely level surface. Sometimes, the high-speed vibration of the actuator can cause the projector's outer casing or your mounting bracket to vibrate sympathetically, creating a rattle. **Next Steps:** If the noise persists or seems to be increasing in volume, we want to ensure your unit is performing to spec. Please visit our [**Customer Service Form**](https://www.viewsonic.com/us/customer-service-form/) to document this issue.

r/projectors · ViewSonic LX700-4K for $1200 vs BenQ TK710 I'll check it out. This Viewsonic seems like such a good deal though so I might cop it just to be done with my search. It has been ongoing for six months. We have been using a cheap chinese "toy" projector, as y'all call them since the pandemic and I finally feel in a position to spend some cash to get rid of the shitty one, which is slowly dying.

r/projectors · Viewsonic LX700-4K... Best gaming projector? Mine stopped working after 9 months of use. Now all three LEDs just turn red. I am following up with Viewsonic on next steps.
r/projectors · ViewSonic LX700-4K laser failing already? mine is also failing randomly . It’s been less than a year and my projector has already started giving issue. Many times all LEDs turn solid red and projector does not start. I have to unplug power and try again. It works randomly. Not sure if others are facing similar issue. I have just contacted support, let’s see what they have to say.

r/projectors · Seeking advice: Daily-usage projector for less than 2000€, TV replacement, long-throw I was wondering the whole time if maybe I just bought a dud with a broken light source or something. The color accuracy was just so obviously bad
r/projectors · Seeking advice: Daily-usage projector for less than 2000€, TV replacement, long-throw Cannot recommend the Viewsonic LX7004K - The colors were so off, that even someone who is not picky like me, noticed it constantly. The projector veers very strongly to being too green/blue and I could not fix that with any settings in the projector (reducing the brightness did help somewhat)

r/projectors · Which projector to buy? Alternatives to ViewSonic LX700-4K? What are you talking about. 3 of the Models including the Pro 2 ship in December. The Hookup has reviewed it and he is as independent as it gets. It has close to 7 million in backing and is a division of AWOL. This not a fly by night company. None of the projectors you have mentioned are as good as the Pro 2

r/projectors · Viewsonic LX700-4K or Benq TK710? I started of with calibration values I found on projectorcentral and mondoprojos as a basis, and then tuned further on personal preference in comparison with a calibrated oled. It could probably be better with actual calibration equipment, but if you read the reviews of people who have tried using proper gear, it still only gets to “not horrible”. It got me to an acceptable level, but at the cost of a lot of lost light output. And when I then turn on the oled tv, I died a little bit inside every time as I was confronted with the lackluster color reproduction. Obviously the Benq is also no match for a properly calibrated top-notch oled, but the gap isn’t that huge. It becomes very clear on poorly mastered content, for example the pilot episode of Suits (on netflix) will really show how unnatural skin tones are reproduced on the Viewsonic…

r/projectors · Viewsonic LX700-4K or Benq TK710? For me in Belgium, they are priced almost exactly the same, and the choice is really easy: TK710 without a doubt. Out of the box, color performance is a LOT better than the best I could ever get the LX700-4K calibrated. Because of the poor color performance I had to turn down brightness so much on the Viewsonic, which basically cancels the high lumen advantage. This is not the case with TK710, even in a pretty bright room I can get good performance with remarkably good contrast. Honestly, don’t doubt it for a second. TK710 is significantly better in every aspect that matters for me: color reproduction, contrast, noise, performance in dark and ambient light situation. The TK710 does not support 1440p/120, which is the only downside I can remark. Also the backlit remote on the Viewsonic is kinda nice.
r/projectors · Viewsonic LX700-4K or Benq TK710? I had the LX700-4k for about 2weeks, and then it broke down. It would still turn on, but light source would not turn on anymore. I came from an old 3LCD WUXGA epson and difference was huge. However, getting the LX700-4k to somewhat of an acceptable color accuracy meant sacrificing more than 60% of the light output. And even then it was still quite poor to be honest… I have ordered the TK710 instead now so should be able to tell you the difference in a couple of days…

r/projectors · Viewsonic LX700-4K or Benq TK710? Ah damn. I’m in the UK. I just bought the ViewSonic for £1000. The BenQ goes for around £1350 here, perhaps a bit cheaper for an open box/demo one. I can potentially return the ViewSonic, any advice on tuning it to get the colour right? The gaming mode seems to be the brightest / clearest so far

r/projectors · LX700-4K after a few months Yes thanks ! I know where to find the settings but I was looking for some advice on what would be the best to « restore real colors ». I’ve tried some adjustments but that was not really great 😅

Questions fréquentes
Le ViewSonic LX700-4K offre-t-il de bonnes couleurs ?
Le consensus Reddit est négatif, avec des couleurs jugées trop vertes ou bleues et des tons de peau peu naturels. Même après réglage, plusieurs utilisateurs trouvent le résultat seulement acceptable.
Est-il vraiment lumineux ?
Le mode jeu est décrit comme particulièrement lumineux et clair. Toutefois, corriger les couleurs peut imposer de réduire fortement la luminosité, jusqu’à annuler une grande partie de cet avantage.
Le LX700-4K est-il fiable ?
Plusieurs témoignages Reddit signalent des pannes après quelques semaines ou moins d’un an, des démarrages aléatoires et des voyants rouges. Ces retours répétés constituent un sérieux point de vigilance.
Est-il silencieux ?
Les avis mentionnent un bourdonnement aigu possible et, sur certains exemplaires, un bruit mécanique anormal. Un cliquetis audible pendant un film est considéré comme préoccupant.



Thank you for the response. I had come across the Epson EH TW 9400 but noted it was getting on in age and was being phased out. Still may be worth considering though. The other options all seem to have a shorter throw distance than the 5m my projector needs to be from the screen.
