ViewSonic introduces the LX700-4K, a new laser projector for home cinema and gaming enthusiasts. Boasting 3,500 ANSI lumens brightness and HDR support, this projector offers an impressive refresh rate of up to 240 Hz.
The ViewSonic LX700-4K laser projector caters to home theater and gaming experiences, leveraging third-generation laser phosphor technology. Its laser light source delivers a brightness of 3,500 ANSI lumens, promising a service life of up to 30,000 hours. While its resolution stands at 4K UHD, it’s important to note it’s not native, employing a 0.65-inch strain gauge chip from Texas Instruments.
The SuperColor technology, according to the manufacturer, ensures vivid and realistic color reproduction with an expansive color gamut. Additionally, it boasts a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 and, furthermore, supports HDR/HLG. This dramatically enhances the viewing experience by providing brighter whites, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colors. Consequently, users can enjoy an incredibly immersive viewing experience with lifelike images that pop off the screen.
You can place the projector, which offers a projection size of up to 300 inches, between one and seven meters from the screen. Image alignment benefits from V-lens shift (+15% /-0%), a 1.36x optical zoom, H/V-Keystone (+/- 30 degrees), and a 4-corner adjustment.
The tailored development of the ViewSonic LX700-4K for Xbox (‘Designed for Xbox’), which supports exclusive resolution and refresh rate combinations, sets it apart for gamers. It flaunts a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz and an input lag of 4.2 ms.
Connectivity features include two HDMI inputs, one HDMI output with an eARC, and a USB-A port with a charging function. The new laser projector for home cinema and gaming can power compatible streaming devices like Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku without a separate adapter. It also integrates a 15 W speaker.
