Epson
Epson Home Cinema 2350
A 1080p three-chip 3LCD lamp projector with Android TV baked in, aimed at a bright family room rather than a blacked-out theater.

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.

Epson Home Cinema 2350: what it gives up
- 1080p native with no pixel shift — it accepts a 4K signal and downscales it
- 36 dB fan noise is audible in a quiet room; eco mode drops it to 28 dB and costs brightness
- The 230 W lamp is a consumable: 4,500 hours typical, and replacements are a recurring cost laser models do not have
- No optical lens shift, so a crooked install has to be corrected digitally, which throws away resolution
- It will not accept 4K/60 with HDR — the supported-mode table allows 4K/30 with HDR or 1080p/60 with HDR and enhancement, which the marketing does not make obvious
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
