24-07-2024 | ViewSonic | Industrial

ViewSonic Corp. has launched the LX700-4K RGB. This innovative projector sets a new standard in visual performance for home entertainment. As the world's first ceiling-mounted home projector with RGB laser technology, the device achieves 100% coverage of the BT.2020 colour gamut – one of the most advanced colour standards available today. This allows the projector to deliver a stunning range of vibrant, lifelike colours that significantly improve the immersive viewing experience. Combined with true 4K UHD resolution and support for HDR and HLG, it provides theatre-quality visuals and represents a versatile, future-proof investment for consumers.

"ViewSonic aims to be at the forefront of redefining home entertainment, continually surpassing expectations and setting new standards in the industry. Understanding the growing demand for immersive, cinema-quality viewing experiences at home, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance everyday living," said Dean Tsai, general manager of Projector and LED Display Business Unit at ViewSonic. "The LX700-4K RGB showcases our dedication to innovation and meeting consumer needs for superior home entertainment. By offering exceptional image quality and seamless integration into any home setting, ViewSonic continues to push the boundaries of home theatre technology, ensuring our products provide outstanding and long-term value for home cinema enthusiasts."

The device sets a new benchmark in home cinema projectors with its exceptional colour performance and smooth visuals for an at-home big-screen viewing experience. At its core, cutting-edge RGB laser technology produces vibrant images with 100% coverage of BT.2020 colour gamut, providing a more lifelike and immersive viewing experience. The projector delivers 5,200 RGB Laser Lumens with high colour saturation and contrast, ensuring vivid and clear details even in various lighting conditions. This improves overall image quality, making it ideal for home cinema enthusiasts.

The projector delivers 4K resolution and HDR/HLG support, providing an extremely crisp and in-depth picture. The high native contrast ratio, powered by a 0.65" Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) chip, enhances details, particularly in dark scenes, delivering a true cinema-quality experience in various home settings. It employs Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology, the same trusted technology used in IMAX theatres and over 90% of digital cinemas worldwide. This provides long-lasting image quality for endless enjoyment.

The projector can project images up to a massive 300" screen size, delivering big-screen entertainment far beyond the typical 100" limit of OLED TVs. It provides a range of flexible installation options to ensure a seamless setup. With its 1.6x optical zoom, users can choose the ideal setup location within a range, achieving the desired image size without altering the existing interior design. The vertical lens shift feature allows for vertically fine-tuning the position of the projected image without physically moving the projector. Also, the horizontal and vertical keystone correction and four-corner adjustment ensure that the projected image is perfectly shaped and symmetrical, even if the projector is off-centre. This ensures users can achieve the ideal screen fit and positioning without hassle.

The project also features HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) support, making it easy for users to connect external audio equipment and enhance their audio-visual experience. This allows seamless transmission of high-quality audio and video formats, ensuring easy integration into any home cinema environment and providing a more immersive viewing experience.

Beyond excelling in delivering cinematic experiences, the projector meets the high-quality gaming standards for popular consoles like Xbox and PlayStation. The combination of QHD 1440p at 120Hz perfectly balances 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. Boasting a 4.2ms ultra-fast input, a hyper-responsive 240Hz refresh rate, and a microsecond-level response time, the projector delivers a seamless at-home gaming experience for all gamers.
