An ideal projector for those who want to watch their favorite series and movies with the highest possible image quality, but without forgetting the best sound. And if you had thought of playing big, be very careful because you can too.
A generous projector in dimensions and specifications
El ViewSonic X1000-4K It is a projector that first attracts a lot of attention. In the first place because of its dimensions, although it is quickly understood that it has such a size since it integrates a sound bar signed by Harman Kardon. And secondly, because of its minimalist and sober design that allows it to be integrated into any type of environment.
Focusing on the aesthetic section, we are in front of a product with a minimalist design, both due to the lines themselves and the colors chosen. It is true that there will be all kinds of opinions about it, but it can be classified as an attractive product and far from the classic idea of a projector. Especially since it looks more like a sound bar or a speaker than a projector, a function that it can also perform if we decide to link it to a phone via Bluetooth.
Some physical details that we would like to highlight:
– On the sides you find two wheels that allow you to vary the height of the front legs. In this way you can level the product and get the projected image to be perfect.
– On the back you find two HDMI 2.0 connectors with HDCP 2.2 support and ethernet connection as well as S/PDIF for those video sources that are fixed.
– On the left side there are several extra connections (HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 support, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB C and analog audio connections for audio input and output). These are designed to connect portable devices such as mobile phones, tablets and even consoles such as the Nintendo Switch among other devices.
– There is only one button on the device, the on and off button. To control the rest of the functions, a remote control with a classic design is used.
with heart android
Once you turn on the projector, you can see the initial loading image appear with the ViewSonic logo and user interface. This is very easy to understand and basically consists of a direct access to the file explorer, both from the internal memory and others that you can connect via USB, as well as the Application Center, Bluetooth, Settings, Screen mirroring and four shortcuts to the selected applications.
Yes, as you can guess the operating system of this projector is Android based, and account in the Apptoide launcher that allows you to install some popular apps like Netflix or Prime Video as if you had access to the Play Store. If you want to further explore the topic of multimedia connectivity and streaming services, you can connect a Chromecast, an Apple TV, a Fire TV or any other playback device to consume all kinds of content.
Outstanding Imaging Experience
Many things can be asked of a television, but it is the image and sound quality that is really important. Well, with a projector like this, that's exactly what happens and we already anticipate that it looks and sounds great. Yes, the visual and sound quality of the ViewSonic X1000-4K it's practically outstanding.
With a system of LED lighting, not only is it an efficient projector in terms of consumption and with a longer lamp life than less modern solutions, it is also efficient in terms of sharpness, brightness and color even when we are not using a projection screen that improves aspects like contrast.
If you decide to use a white wall, you will get a high quality image. The only thing you have to try is to have the room where you are going to use it as dark as possible. Still, with a power of 2.400 lumens and Cinema SuperColor+ technology results in high-quality image representation. As long as the video source offers a quality file. Although this is not usually a problem nowadays thanks to the options offered by platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc. Or even with the content 4K HDR that you can have stored locally on an external drive or in the projector's own 12 GB internal memory.
With different configuration options that allow you to use a frame interpolation system to obtain greater fluidity, image adjustments and even define the color of the wall where it is projected to perform a white balance that helps to highlight the color of images, the ViewSonic X1000 4K is quite the spectacle.
Of course, you will wonder what size screen you can reach and what space you would need in the room to enjoy it in a big way. Well, you are really going to need very little thanks to the fact that it is an ultra-short throw projector. With about 40 centimeters from the wall or screen to the projector, you already have a screen with a diagonal of 100”. So the limitation is not the size of the room but the size of the wall.
Let nothing spoil the experience
We have commented that the ViewSonic X1000-4K is not a simple projector, it is also a sound system that you can use independently with the screen off while listening to music that you can send via Bluetooth, AirPlay or cable thanks to its physical inputs S / PDIF or analog audio.
However, the use of the integrated speakers makes sense when you are going to play a movie, series or video game. That is when you are glad to have it, because with the signature of Harman Kardon as a guarantee you will enjoy an even more rounded experience and avoiding other possible elements in the room such as an external sound system with its respective speakers, amplifier, etc.
Honestly, the equipment sounds very good and if you want something more punchy you can always connect a subwoofer to have an extra boost in the lowest tones.
A solution for moviegoers and gamers
The ideal device for anyone who wants to enjoy the world of cinema, series or video games does not exist, but proposals like these are very close to being one of the most versatile. With the ViewSonic X1000-4K projector, you will not only be able to enjoy all that content in a big way, but also with a level of detail and adequate refresh time to enjoy even current games on your latest generation console.

It will not physically attract attention, nor will it clash with the aesthetics that you have around it.
