ViewSonic Unleashes New X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro Projectors

[GFreeman]

ViewSonic Corp., a global leader in visual solutions, unveils two new projectors - the X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro. Designed to elevate the console gaming experience, these projectors deliver images with QHD (1440p) resolution at a lightning-fast 120 Hz refresh rate, ensuring ultra-smooth gameplay and detailed visuals on a screen larger than 100 inches. Complementing the native 4K UHD visual performance, built-in Harman Kardon speakers provide cinema-quality sound, while the integrated Google TV provides seamless access to a broad spectrum of streaming options, creating a truly immersive and all-encompassing home entertainment experience.

"Compared to traditional gaming displays, projectors offer an unmatched immersive experience and greater setup flexibility, so it's no surprise that they're becoming increasingly popular in console gaming," said Dean Tsai, General Manager of Projector & LED Display Business Unit at ViewSonic. "Reflecting this trend, last year we introduced the world's first 'Designed for Xbox' gaming projectors, the X1-4K and X2-4K, which set new industry standards and have consistently received positive feedback from the market. We are now excited to launch their upgrades, the X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro. These models not only enhance visuals but also feature a built-in Google TV system, providing a comprehensive solution that caters to a wide range of home entertainment needs."



Unparalleled Immersion for a Next-Level Gaming Experience
The X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro projectors elevate gaming immersion to unprecedented levels. These models offer QHD (1440p) resolution at a 120 Hz refresh rate, enabling stunningly smooth gameplay with clarity on screens larger than 100 inches. An ultra-low 4.2 ms input lag and a 240 Hz refresh rate (at 1080p resolution) allow competitive gamers to fully engage with the action, experiencing every moment with unmatched precision and responsiveness.

With the 0.65-inch DMD chip of a high native contrast ratio, the projectors bring the darkest scenes to life with exceptional clarity and depth, allowing users to enjoy every detail. Additionally, paired with built-in Harman Kardon speakers, the X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro deliver theater-quality sound, transforming every gaming session into a cinematic experience.

An All-in-One Home Entertainment Solution
The X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro projectors blend gaming and entertainment with ease, serving as all-in-one entertainment hubs. With built-in Google TV, the projectors offer direct access to leading streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+, eliminating the need for additional systems or dongles. Users can enjoy their favorite streaming content in stunning 4K UHD resolution with HDR enhancement, offering crystal-clear and dynamic visuals. This streamlined experience is further enhanced by HDMI eARC support, enabling the integration of external sound systems and creating a captivating audio-visual environment ideal for both cinematic viewing and gaming.

Effortless Installation for Immersive Entertainment
With their easy installation features, the X1-4K Pro and X2-4K Pro projectors seamlessly transform any space into an advanced gaming or home theater setup. The X1-4K Pro is equipped with vertical lens shift, allowing users to effortlessly adjust the vertical position of the projected image without needing to physically move the projector, effortlessly adapting to existing interior designs. Meanwhile, the short-throw X2-4K Pro excels in compact spaces, capable of projecting a large 100-inch display from just 1.5 meters away. Both models feature H&V keystone correction along with 4-corner adjustment for precise image tuning, ensuring perfectly shaped projections even from the side.

The green accenting makes it look like an old Nvidia reference style GPu.

these are so pointless now when you can get a great MiniLED 98/100" TCL/Hisense TV with 10x the contrast / black level / brightness for <2k USD

Not even close to pointless. These can project larger than 100" and they weigh between 15 and 30lbs, meaning you can move these around pretty easily as needed to project wherever you want.

Yes its great if you can get a 100" TV set where you want to set it up (through doorways, up tight stairways, etc), projectors are always going to have their place. Just pray your 100" set doesn't have a partial backlight failure, etc, because it's like the old RPTV Monolith days...hundreds of pounds of weight that needs to be fixed on-prem.

current large TVs aren't that bulky anymore (TCL C755 / QM7 MiniLED 98" - Net Weight With Stand 59kg), so 2 guys can take care of it no problem

but yeah for mobility / taking it around to a friend / beach house / etc, then yeah that use case is still valid

but for home use / fixed to your ceiling, I believe it's dead
