As the model name implies, this is a 4K resolution (3840×2160) projector, with a standard 60Hz refresh rate. For gaming, users can hop into the advanced settings and configure 240Hz at 1080p and 120Hz at 1440p, with a 4.2ms response time.
“Beyond excelling in delivering cinematic experiences, the LX700-4K RGB meets the high-quality gaming standards for popular consoles like Xbox and PlayStation. The combination of QHD 1440p at 120Hz strikes a perfect balance between resolution and refresh rate for an immersive gaming experience. It provides fluid, detailed images, even during fast-paced action, allowing gamers to enjoy smooth performance without sacrificing image quality,” ViewSonic says.
The other big (literally) upside is that it can throw up to a 300-inch image, provided you have the wall space and/or a large enough projection screen to accommodate a massive display. Whether going that big or something far more modest, ViewSonic says the combination of horizontal and vertical keystone correction, along with 4-core adjustments, ensures the beamed image will retain the correct shape and symmetry.
