ViewSonic X2-4K: what it gives up
- 2,150 ANSI lumens is the dimmest gaming projector here and needs the lights down
- One of the two HDMI ports is only 1.4, which limits what can be connected
- No lens shift and no smart platform
- 33 dB is on the loud side for a projector that may sit on a desk
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
