Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Having played enough with the Chinese 1xLCD projector, I began to consider replacing it with something more Full HD with normal brightness and color. I compared it with the Epson TW5400 / BenQ TH535 / MH535 models - the latter almost won . But the price outweighed it - the Viewsonic is still a little lower - all other things being equal, and the resource capabilities of the lamp! The Viewsonic is very compact - look at the dimensions carefully - only 22 cm deep. - fits easily on a standard bookshelf. Viewsonic is quieter than BenQ. When choosing a projector, a lot of attention should be paid to projection distances: in my case, if the LCD short-throw projector had previously been slightly removed from the bookshelf and placed exactly against the screen (hanging screen "Cactus"), then in order to broadcast the image in the same frame with the new projector - I had to turn it over and lift it, putting it on a bookshelf - turning on the ceiling mode . At the same time, the keystone distortion was minimal. That is, with the height of the projector ~ 183 cm from the floor in an inverted state. The image is broadcast over 110 cm from the floor with a width of 170 cm. The projection distance is ~258 cm. If the project is normally put on legs, the image goes up a lot - it is designed to work in the office from the desktop.

Pros
  • Full HD, DLP. 20,000 hours of lamp reserve in ECO mode. A huge supply of brightness and contrast - you can watch without special darkening of the room at any time of the day. And although the projector was bought for the home - obviously, there is no problem to run it in a lit office space. The picture is clear, deep - mesmerizing, you don't want to leave after watching movies;) No problems with focusing across the entire screen area. (Feature of Chinese 1xLCD projectors) Compact - only 22 cm deep, easily fits on a bookshelf;) Relatively silent in normal mode. In ECO mode, active cooling can only be seen by looking at the movement of the fan behind the vents (against the background of a barely visible backlight). I did not notice any distortion or artifacts, such as "rainbow". There is a tuning grid - all lines are clear without artifacts. The ability to raise and lower the lens without keystone distortion (+5/-5%), which may affect a small drawback - see below.
Cons
  • There is a nuance - this is the presence of a gray frame around the image 3-5 cm, - visible only in complete darkness. There is no adjustment for the height of the rear legs (as the closest competitor has) - however, I didn’t need it - see the comment ;) There is no adjustment to the color of the wall (as the competitor has) - but it is also not really necessary, because they broadcast on an inexpensive white screen.
