ViewSonic 4K Projector with 3500 Lumens HDR Support and Dual HDMI for Home Theater Day and Night (PX747-4K)

I have done a lot of research on the new 4K UHD projectors launched this year. Most of them are at around $1,500 pricing range which is much more affordable than the 4K projectors from previous years. After reading some reviews on projector central, I decided to give this a try because it offered the highest brightness with the lowest price. I wanted a 4K projector that I could use at night for movies and also for TV shows/sports during the day. That’s why I picked the PX747-4K because it’s about 1000 lumens brighter than all the other 4K projectors in the same class. The image turned out to be pretty bright even with my mini blinds opened during the daytime. Picture quality is excellent with 4K UHD resolution, pixels are significantly smaller compared to the ones from 1080p projectors. Pros Bright True 4K resolution HDR compatible 3-year warranty Cons No lens cover No 3D Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. Ive owned it for almost 2 months now without any problem.

This projector exceeded my expectations significantly! Even with some of my lamps on in the living room, I was able to see it clearly. The colors really seemed to pop wonderfully and I am stunned at the resolution. I have 150" pull down screen from Elite Screens and this thing looks fantastic! My old 1080p Epson projector did a decent job but itll be nearly impossible going back to that thing after seeing 4K at this size. With the Epson, I could pick out the pixels from the couch on test and menu items but with this viewsonic 4k, I can barely pick out the pixels standing a foot away from the screen! Its awesome! There is a little bit of fan noise but its about the same as my old projector. Projectors will never be as quiet as TVs.... I had it setup on desk tray to test it out before committing and fully installing it. I will definitely be keeping this unit and will try and sell the 1080p epson!

I upgraded from an Optoma 142x to this projector. For the price I paid ($999) I am extremely satisfied. I was originally thinking of going with the Optoma UHD50 due to its lenshift, but the price difference was significant. The picture on this thing is great. It is clear and focused edge to edge. I was worried about the RGBW color wheel but I think the color looks great. Also I havent noticed any rainbow effect as I did with the 142x. I tried moving my eyes back and forth quickly across the screen to see if I could create the effect but I couldnt. My Optoma 142x had a slight bow (pincushion) at the bottom so I had to overscan a bit to hide that. Not so with the projector - the geometry is perfect. So this seems to have a better lens than the 142x. There is a bit of a "light border" that does spill onto the wall about an inch or 2 and it is noticeable if you are looking for it. But to be honest it doesnt bother me in the least - I think of it as faint bias lighting. I do wish it had a bit a lenshift to fine-tune the position but I was able to get it lined up without it (with a little bit of work using a telescoping mount). For the price I paid I would definitely recommend it, but wait for it at the $999 price.

Its kind of hard to believe that at this price it would be good. I bought one for use for a couple of off-site training sessions with the intention of putting it my home theater when done. First part of that is done. I used it in two large rooms with the lights on and it was clearly visible from 60 feet back. Turned off the lights and got close to inspect the pixels. Compared to the 720p DLP InFocus and Epson LCD 1080p projectors I have had in my theater, I was very impressed that there is almost no definition to a pixel. It is all very tiny and smooth. This isnt a scientific test, but I think this is going to be a major improvement over my 1080p Epson. Cant wait to try that and do a comparison on contrast ratio.

Bought a factory refurbished at half the cost of Optoma (closest competitor), installed and used it already for few days with Roku and over the air TV antenna. I am using regular HDMI port of it so far and have nothing but full praise for the picture quality. Picture is being projected on a 120 inches screen at basement of my house. Appears much much more lively then my 4K 65inches TV. I have not seen any colors washed out so far, colors appear very rich and white is white (not dull or yellow as I noticed in other projects). Very glad with performance so far. I stayed away from OPTOMA only because of its common complaint that HDMI port goes bad soon. LG laser also seems to be using DLP chip inside but read some reviews about white dots appearing on the screen (which implies DLP chip mirrors are failing). I know this projector is not based on true 4K DLP chip but enhances the dots by some scaling mechanism, but so far end results are too good. If it continues to work like this for couple of years then it is more then enough for my investment as the Technology is improving too fast. Now a days I dont think about any electronic item to continue be used beyond 2 to 3 years. Buy cheap and change frequently is my goal.

Love it! I bought this projector to replace another with a lower resolution. The 4K is beautiful and such a big improvement over my old projector!

I thought my Optoma was bright but this will work on broad daylight. For a budget 4K projector, this is well worth the money. A true 4K projector will cost 4 times the money and must be used in a dark room. This unit is good for casual use in bright environment and still produce a relatively decent picture. Good value for a spare.

I was going to buy another 1080p projector, but then I saw the price for this 4K projector, and man I’m I glad I bought this one instead. I can’t believe the difference in resolution between this 4K projector and my old 1080p. I’ve been using my old projector in my living room and had to cover up the windows when I was using it during the day, but with this one, I don’t. I connect my phone to the projector and stream shows from there as if it’s a regular TV.

great quality. Terrific picture. brighter than my old one, even in Movie mode. I have not tried 4k. quiet enough. I was disappointing with the zoom. It has limited range therefore when I move the projector back from behind my head, I will need a bigger screen. Also disappointed that there is no vertical adjust.. not even jack screws. I use coasters. Wife hates it.

110" 4k screen, yes please. Factory speaker started giving out about 3 weeks in. Have to get a 4k receiver if you plan to have good surround sound, as sound output is minimal. Although, the price point of this projector makes up the difference there. Does crank out some heat, but when ceiling mounted its not so bad. Overall, I cant imagine not having a projector now, and this one is pretty sweet for the money.
