ViewSonic X2-4K Review: Made for Gaming, But Does a Lot More
For most people, a projector isn't the conventional way to watch content. TVs are still the king when it comes to home entertainment. However, some brands, such as ViewSonic, make some really good projectors for home use. It also makes some unique projectors, such as the X2-4K, which is designed for gamers. Now, most gamers aren't going to even think of buying a projector for their gaming setup, as most projectors don't offer high refresh rates, 4K resolution, and so on.
Things are very different with the ViewSonic X2-4K, though. The projector has been made for Xbox and gets the Microsoft guarantee. It offers some unique features, such as 1440p resolution at 120Hz, that you won't find on regular projectors. So, should a gamer consider this projector, a 65-inch TV, or a large curved monitor? And what about PC or PS5 customers? Can they use this projector? I've been using the X2-4K for about a week now to try and answer all those questions and more.
The X2-4K is pretty compact for a 4K projector
The ViewSonic X2-4K is expensive, and there are no two ways about it. For the money you spend on the projector, you can buy a 65-inch 4K QLED TV that'll be much more versatile. In India, the projector is currently available at around Rs. 2,80,000.
It is available in a single black colour option with some green Xbox accents. The box contains a remote with backlit buttons, a USB Type-C cable, and different types of power cables.
When I received the X2-4K, I expected it to be large in size, thanks to it being a 4K projector. However, I was quite surprised upon opening the package. The device is as big as a shoe box but weighs around 3.5 kg. ViewSonic uses durable plastic for the construction, and you get large vents on the front and sides. The front houses the lens, which is partially protected, and an IR sensor. It's easy for the lens to catch dust as there's no lens cover.
The X2-4K has a 2,900 Lumen LED
