BenQ HT2060 vs ViewSonic LX700-4K
Every published specification for both, with the brightness standard shown beside each figure and the screen geometry worked out from each maker’s own throw ratio. Rows where the two differ are tinted.
BenQ
BenQ HT2060
A 1080p LED projector built around color accuracy rather than pixel count: 98% Rec.709 out of the box, a 20,000-hour LED that never needs a lamp, and just enough vertical lens shift to clear a coffee table.
Best for: A movie-first 1080p setup that should never need a lamp
ViewSonic
ViewSonic LX700-4K
3,500 ANSI lumens from a 20,000-hour laser in a 7.3 lb body, with a 1.36x zoom and a short 1.06 minimum throw.
Best for: Bright-room viewing from a shelf, without a mount

BenQ HT2060: what it gives up
- 1080p native — a 4K signal is accepted and downscaled
- 33 ms at 4K/60 and 60 Hz max make it a poor match for a current console
- No streaming built in, so a stick lives in the back panel
- LED brightness is measured honestly here, but 2,300 ANSI lumens is a dim-room number on a big screen
- It costs meaningfully more than the lamp model it replaced, which was already very good
ViewSonic LX700-4K: what it gives up
- Lens shift is downward only (-15%), so it wants to sit above the screen line
- HDMI 2.0 caps 4K at 60 Hz
- No smart platform at all
- A single 15 W mono speaker
- Its throw ratio sits between the usual short-throw and standard-throw bands, so an existing mount frequently has to move
