I know this vid is 4 years old . But is there anyone that can suggest the best settings or calibration for the best picture or viewing movies and game play
I can't wait to play my Marvel Avengers game in September on my 300 Big Picture of big game fun time Elect 1. The graphics for the game is dope 1 4K deliver in this projector.
Chris help! Thanks for all the great vids man. Helped me learn a lot about these new 4k projectors. I'm confused about this contrast ratio rating. There seems to be such a great difference. I think I'm missing something? This 747 has a 12000 to 1 while the optoma uhd60 has 1million to 1 contrast ratio. Seems like quite the difference. Can you explain the contrast ratio and does it mean much when it comes to the picture? Any info will help me out. Thank you!
The Optoma contrast ratio is absolute bullshit...NO DLP projector can produce blacks that deep, but the best black level isn't always the best option either...
Great video my friend. Is PX727-4K so noisy as PX747-4K? Between these two, BenQ TK800 and BenQ HT2550 what is your suggestion for little lighter room?
What did you go with finally? I'm on the fence between this, the Optoma 144x (not 4K, but less expensive and seeing lots of good reviews but don't know if it's hype or for real), the Epson TW-5700 (europe model number, not sure what's the home cinema equivalent) Ideally trying to find something that works well for a bright as well as dark room (day and nightime viewing) Which one under 1000 $ has the best black levels with good brightness?
Hi Chris, I bought this Projector from Amazon (In Europe) with the hope that the noise it makes would not be too bad. I was wrong though and I have decided to return it. It creates way too much of a humming noise. I am considering the Benq TK800 as a replacement (The UHD 50/51 is out of my budget at the moment) I can't see many people complaining about the noise on the TK800. Presumably it's pretty quiet?
When I upgraded from 720p to 1080p projector I also decided to switch to single wheel DLP. I heard the complaints about a "Rainbow effect" but figured that the deal on my BenQ was too good to pass up. At first I didn't understand what anyone was talking about, but after a few days my eyes finally picked up on it during a screening of 'Pyscho'. I'm a classic film buff, so I have a ton of black and white movies in my collection and can say by far that it's the worst with those (high contrast and super bright whites make it very noticeable). I was kinda upset and got worried I would never be able to unsee the rainbows during everything I watched, but within a few weeks I had managed to trick my brain into ignoring it. It was never so bad that I got sick from it, but it was very annoyed and distracting until my eyes had gotten used to the DLP style.
I was one of the lucky ones to get it for $999 a couple of weeks ago; however I'm sending it back to Amazon. I had several issues with performance, I was watching some HDR content on netflix and it was underwhelming, the time that it takes to makes changes through settings is an annoyance to say the least. Sometimes you cannot tell the difference between HDMI 1 4k and HDMI 2 1080P I actually found 1080P hdmi to work better with some netflix and prime video content. I had an epson 2150 with 2400 lumens and it is actually brighter than this one at 3500. If anyone is interested I'll sell it instead of sending it back to amazon. Let me know. By the way I didn't find the fan to be very loud and speaker was just okay... That light-border though, I hate it.
Anyone thinking about getting the px747 in 2024? In Germany there are a couple used ones for 300 400$. Or is it outdated now and should I look for newer ones?
Hi! Could you comment on rainbow effect? My eyes are very sensitive to that, that's why right now I have a 3lcd epson projector. I noticed some rainbows at 5:17 but can't tell if it's some interference between screen and the camera.
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
I have a p700hd, fantastic 1080p projector. Was only 375$ last year. Does 200" outside with plenty of light to spare When it dies, I'm absolutely getting this one!
Woah, woah, woah... So what you're saying is that this is _marketing buzzword_ "4K". Not *TRUE* 4K. Being "like 4K" is not 4K. Avoid. For sure! That's like the old scam-tastic "1080p" marketing material before 1080p/Full-HD sets could display 1080 at proper 1080p60. They'd still call them 1080p even though they only displayed 1080p resolutions but at half the framerate. I also wonder what the coloured-light output is, since the ANSI-lumen spec means virtually nothing except how bright a white image can be projected. Coloured-light lumen output is one of the very most important things to find out about a projector!
Thanks for the review. I'm buildimg a new home theatre. I'd like a 150-170 inch screen. I'm looking for a cheap 4k projector that can fill my 2:35 ratio screen. What projector would u recommend? I have about 15 ft x 22 ft of space. The screen is on the 22ft wall.
"the input lag on the 747 is 43 ms, which is a tad bit faster than the 55 ms we saw on the 727." Via projectorcentral: www.projectorcentral.com/ViewSonic-PX747-4K-review.htm
This is how reviews should be like. Short and informative. The blacks of these dual 1080 chips are sooooo bad. It would be better to go full HD on the same price. Resolution doesnt do the trick, colour and contrast do. I mean, they say HDR capable, 4k resolution ect, but they offer really small persentage of these technologies. I wonder whats taking so long for the companies to offer true native 4k models with decent blacks and colour space. Only Sony has been offering true 4k projector for years now... well and jvc on a 30.000$ price tag.
Thanks. The sharpness isn't my gripe, it's the balance between deeper blacks and overall brightness. The ideal projector for me would be the UHZ65 but I'm waiting for laser projectors to drop less than $2000 before I pull the trigger.
So true, 2000 is a good price for a decent projector, especially a laser one! The market must evolve because people who are new in the ''projecting art'' will soon realise they are given very few for the money they pay.
Any recommendation on a 4K projector that would be especially good with animation? I'm coming from an old CRT projector that had great colors and black level, but lacked sharpness.
Hi Chris, I’m planning on purchasing my FIRST Projector. I’m trying to stay around $2500.00 or lower. I remember you saying that you owned the Epson 5050ub. My room measures 12x13x8 the projector would be mounted 12 to 13 ft from the screen. I’m looking to project 120 inches diagonally. Should I have any issues getting 120 inch image from that distance with the 5050ub? Also how well did it serve you?
Thanks for the review! As a fellow dealer, We can definitely confirm that Viewsonic PX747-4K is an excellent projector that delivers stunning 4K visuals. With 3500 lumens of brightness and HDR compatibility, it produces bright and vibrant images that are perfect for home theater use. The projector also has a sleek and modern design, with a black finish and a compact size that makes it easy to set up and use. Additionally, the projector is compatible with a wide range of audio and video equipment, making it a versatile choice for any home theater setup. And as a fellow dealer, We can definitely vouch for the quality of Viewsonic products. If you have any other questions about Viewsonic PX747-4K please feel free to ask!
in 4:28-38 minute, you used Nvidia Shield as an input with this projector. I saw the text and icon were incredibly sharpness (like with a TV). How could you make it? i have the same projector (px727), nvidia shield and with 100'' screen, the text and icon are blurry, not having the same sharpness
How is this projector standing up in 2021? Is there another option available now in the sub 1000 $ 4K category. Is there an alternative you would suggest (Optoma or Epson)?
I know this is 20 degrees or more I use the screen all the way to the ceiling This is rather the biggest disadvantage Is it possible to adjust this to 0 degrees? Or is it fixed at 20 degrees? I know it's 20 degrees higher or higher. I use the screen to the top of the ceiling. This is the biggest drawback. Can you adjust it to 0 degrees? Or is the 20 degree angle fixed?
5:00 I heard about this online but never saw it holy shit that's bad. I assumed it was like a 1cm border but that's actually very huge and noticable. I would never buy a DLP projector if this is what there all like.
Hola una consulta. Hace una semana me llego un viewsonic px748 -4k hoy viendo youtube Me di cuenta que cuando se pone la pantalla negra me aparecen unos puntitos blancos que prenden y apagan no son fijos y siempre aleatorios. No lo use mas de 3 horas seguidas nunca. ¿ es normal?
If you were to project onto a wall what colour paint would you use for this particular projector. I'm using a colour called Grizzly Grey what do you recommend
So is this projector worth it or no! I dont think a noisy projector matters or should matter to anyone, because you're gonna be hooking up a soundbar or home theater system to it anyways. with that out of the way, how is the picture of this thing?, is it still watchable with a lamp on.
50 ms? Ah jeez, welp... I basically was looking at 4k screen and thought, fuck that's expensive, might as well get a projector, but the trade offs are a bit too much for me. Thank you for the well constructed review!
Very informative video, thank you :). I'm interested in buying two of the newer version of this (px748-4K) to use in stacking mode to get 8k lumens for a poorly light controlled outdoor setup. My understanding is that it has corner keystone functionality and should be able to be used in stacking configuration. Looking for some guidance from you if possible. Thanks heaps in advance.
Lol... thanks for including the outtakes towards the end of the video.
Lol, who will use VGA on a 4K VP? ^^
Some people are still using laptops that have VGA out. Being able to connect itight come in handy and it's a pretty inexpensive feature to throw in
I know this vid is 4 years old . But is there anyone that can suggest the best settings or calibration for the best picture or viewing movies and game play
I can't wait to play my Marvel Avengers game in September on my 300 Big Picture of big game fun time Elect 1.
The graphics for the game is dope 1
4K deliver in this projector.
5:05 seeing the rainbow effects made me cringe so hard. DLP are great quality for the price, I just CANNOT watch anything on a DLP...
Keya Kinan I didn’t realize it till you mentioned it what causes that? And do all 4k projector suffer from this?
@@zxcvbnmmasdfghjkl person by person is only who it effects. And also the manufacturer in not having a fast enough colorwheel.

I love this machine for a big picture and 4K graphics on a 500 big picture on my wall.

Great video my friend. Is PX727-4K so noisy as PX747-4K?
Between these two, BenQ TK800 and BenQ HT2550 what is your suggestion for little lighter room?
What did you go with finally? I'm on the fence between this, the Optoma 144x (not 4K, but less expensive and seeing lots of good reviews but don't know if it's hype or for real), the Epson TW-5700 (europe model number, not sure what's the home cinema equivalent)

Which one under 1000 $ has the best black levels with good brightness?
Hi Chris,
I bought this Projector from Amazon (In Europe) with the hope that the noise it makes would not be too bad. I was wrong though and I have decided to return it. It creates way too much of a humming noise.
I am considering the Benq TK800 as a replacement (The UHD 50/51 is out of my budget at the moment)
I can't see many people complaining about the noise on the TK800.
Presumably it's pretty quiet?
Was the noise on the fan on the px 747 super loud?
What do you do with all the systems you aquire through testing and upgrading? Do you ever sell off "obsolete" projectors and speakers?
is this projector better than the BenQ?
Help me understand about what makes you get nauseous? I get motion sick sometimes in other contexts, what does LCD do that is different?
Wake Boarder I think I have never experienced the rainbow effect, so I can't say it doesn't bother me but thank you for the info man!!!
When I upgraded from 720p to 1080p projector I also decided to switch to single wheel DLP.

Wake Boarder-What model BenQ projector do you have? I thought BenQ only made DLP projectors.
The HT1070, and yes it is a DLP.

How do you connect a Dolby surround to this projector?
Hello, very professional. Is this really better than the TH671ST??
Do you recommend an 120" projector from 11ft with this projector?
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good.

I have a p700hd, fantastic 1080p projector. Was only 375$ last year. Does 200" outside with plenty of light to spare
When it dies, I'm absolutely getting this one!
Would you still recommend it in 2024 ? I can get it for 500€ right now, used and all but still
Woah, woah, woah... So what you're saying is that this is _marketing buzzword_ "4K". Not *TRUE* 4K. Being "like 4K" is not 4K. Avoid. For sure!
That's like the old scam-tastic "1080p" marketing material before 1080p/Full-HD sets could display 1080 at proper 1080p60. They'd still call them 1080p even though they only displayed 1080p resolutions but at half the framerate.

Its not like that at all!
What's the best projector for under £250?
700€ right now, really considering it, since there're no better options in this price range
if ya use 1080p you can get 240hz with 4.2ms latency
Dude your the man. Thanks for the video
Got my PX 727 4K refurbished for under 500
Is it better than the ViewSonic Px 701 4k UHD?
thanks for the review, how do you think this project in comparison with Epson 2150?
Thanks for the review. I'm buildimg a new home theatre. I'd like a 150-170 inch screen. I'm looking for a cheap 4k projector that can fill my 2:35 ratio screen. What projector would u recommend? I have about 15 ft x 22 ft of space. The screen is on the 22ft wall.
I've been searching for a 2.35.1 myself for over a year now and it seems non-existent. As if we gotta get a separate lens.
Interesting. Mine seems to have broke won't turn on. Hmm.
Does the 727 and 747 share the same input lag?
From what I've seen online the px747 has slightly less lag than the px727. I think the 747 was in the mid 40s and the 727 was in the mid 50s
Thanks! I appreciate your channel 👍
"the input lag on the 747 is 43 ms, which is a tad bit faster than the 55 ms we saw on the 727."

Rainbow effect 5:15
Didn’t even notice it till you said it
hi sir can u use 150 inc screen for that, thanks
chaudhry shujah Yes you can, up to 300"
Thanks for leaving in the bloopers!!!
Great review! 🙏
Dude, can you please review XGIMI and XIAOMI projectors.
Get the H1 because the others are not really 1080p or 4k
between the Optoma UHD38 and the Epson EH-TW700, or Viewsonicpx748 - px728which one would you choose?
Does it have bluetooth or run android 9

What is the difference bewteen the PX747-4K and the PX701-4k? They are the same price in my country.
Hi, can I play movies only from USB or external HDD without connecting a computer ?? Thanks a lot
Looks nice, but real 1080 is good enough for me, since the Asus F1 has built is stereo speakers and subwoofer, an all in one machine for under 700.
why didnt you put a link to the item?
How is this projector standing up in 2021? Is there another option available now in the sub 1000 $ 4K category. Is there an alternative you would suggest (Optoma or Epson)?
How is this projector compared to the optima uhd60 in terms of performance for all day viewing. UHD is 3000 lumens versus 747 at 3500, thoughts?
I know this is 20 degrees or more
I use the screen all the way to the ceiling
This is rather the biggest disadvantage
Is it possible to adjust this to 0 degrees?
Or is it fixed at 20 degrees?
I know it's 20 degrees higher or higher.
I use the screen to the top of the ceiling.
This is the biggest drawback.
Can you adjust it to 0 degrees?
Or is the 20 degree angle fixed?
I saw when these two the 747 and 727 were under 900 dollars I regret not buying one of them...😕
But how much is the rs-323 control unit going to be
5:00 I heard about this online but never saw it holy shit that's bad.
I assumed it was like a 1cm border but that's actually very huge and noticable.
I would never buy a DLP projector if this is what there all like.
Hola una consulta. Hace una semana
me llego un viewsonic px748 -4k hoy
viendo youtube
Me di cuenta que cuando se pone la
pantalla negra me aparecen unos
puntitos blancos que prenden y
apagan no son fijos y siempre aleatorios. No lo use mas de 3 horas
seguidas
nunca. ¿ es normal?
So whats the difference between
benq tk800 vs viewsonic px747 then?
If you were to project onto a wall what colour paint would you use for this particular projector. I'm using a colour called Grizzly Grey what do you recommend
Well its nice to see im not the only person that does multiple takes to get a line right :)
Would a projector like this be able to connect and produce sound through my Bose Soundbar via Bluetooth?
Would like to see you do a review on the ViewSonic X100-4K projector
So is this projector worth it or no! I dont think a noisy projector matters or should matter to anyone, because you're gonna be hooking up a soundbar or home theater system to it anyways. with that out of the way, how is the picture of this thing?, is it still watchable with a lamp on.
50 ms? Ah jeez, welp... I basically was looking at 4k screen and thought, fuck that's expensive, might as well get a projector, but the trade offs are a bit too much for me. Thank you for the well constructed review!
same. cut off would be around 35 ms, 50 is pushing it.
I just purchased the view sonic px747 and I bought a Onkyo 7.1 ht-S9800thx what would you recommend is the best choice hdmi to connect them ?
На сайте производителя указано про сверхбыстрый ввод 5 мс, а почему Вы говорите про 50 милисекунд?
Is the light border/halo effect too annoying and is it impossible to avoid? Does it happen all the time?
thanks for showing the output in 4k on a 4k video great review
Damn good review. You know your stuff. Thanks!
Benq ht 2050 vs optoma hd143X best ?
How much in Indiana corance
Coming from a optoma hd28dse projector is this really that much better? I may want to upgrade if so
When viewing HDR content, is there an indicator that gives feedback that HDR is enabled? It’s helpful for diagnosing receiver and cabling issues.
Jackie Chan style
Can it show regular blu ray movies?
very informative. Thanks!
is the px701 basically the same thing
I will probably take 4k VP, but I need to have my 1080P Viewsonic to use and achieve first ^^...
Buenos días
Que distancia de la parede se puede poner este proyector???
How do these stack up against and native 4k projector.
is this better than the optoma uhd300x?
Can you give us your color settings collaborated
I could have sworn I was already subscribed to your channel, just subscribed (re-subscribed) Great review.
it s not less than $1000 in australia it s like $2000
Very informative video, thank you :). I'm interested in buying two of the newer version of this (px748-4K) to use in stacking mode to get 8k lumens for a poorly light controlled outdoor setup. My understanding is that it has corner keystone functionality and should be able to be used in stacking configuration. Looking for some guidance from you if possible. Thanks heaps in advance.
What color screen you are using?
Thanks have the darbee and love it as short throw but waiting on 4k to compare to TV 4k
What short throw do you use in your home.
How good are the black levels?
Does this projector have a 3d feature?
im thinking bout getting a viewsonic, can you put a amazon firestick into the port and run it?
Thanks
please can u tell which movie on 6:00
Haw mach
would you know the lumens on movie mode?
hello, I have a question for you ... when you do a low-cost 4K optoma uhd 300x projector test ... do you have that intention ??
Yes. Uhd50/uhd51a review coming soon
is this better than Optoma GT1080HDR
I would say the optoma is better. Especially for gaming.
can we invite you to review our items sold in Amazon?
If I was spending $1400 for a 4K projector what should I go with ?
Did you buy any Projector since it's been 9 months?
Great reviews and channel well done. thanks
