Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: Advanced Home Theater Experience… Is Pricetag reasonable?
Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: Viewsonic launched the projector – X1-4K Pro in India a few months ago, at a price of Rs 3,60,000. The company says it is a high-end LED smart projector that is best suited for home theaters and gaming enthusiasts, and the company claims it offers sharp 4K images, a seamless gaming experience and a lasting light source. But is this just the company’s claim, or is it really an entertainment package? Let’s find out in this comment.
Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: In-box
The device we received was black with a green Xbox trim on it. In the box, there is a remote control with a backlit button, a USB Type-C cable and various power cables.
Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: Design
Contrary to what I expected, the projector was large but not too heavy. I picked it up myself and placed it on the table. It weighs about 3.68 kg. Its body is made of plastic. The front is equipped with a partially protected lens and an IR sensor. Since there is no lens cover, dust can easily accumulate on the lens.

Moving up is a sliding door that hides the focus/zoom ring and the keyboard that includes projector controls. There is also an LED indicator on the top. There are four feet at the bottom and a wide, adjustable foot in the middle to be used to lift the projector slightly.
Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: Remote Control
The device comes with a Bluetooth backlight remote. It is very basic and has few buttons such as: on/off, volume controller, home button, etc. These buttons help to change modes or navigate projectors.

Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: Performance
When it comes to performance, the View X1-4K Pro will impress you as it is great in terms of gaming and viewing content. When watching a movie or TV show, we will switch to the movie color mode, which provides good contrast, color and overall smooth image. The audio aspect of the projector is also impressive. Both sides can make excellent sounds. This is enough to accommodate a medium living room and provide good bass. You will also get an immersive experience when you put the center in front of you.
The projector also performs well in heat management. We have never heard of any fan noise during the extended use.
Viewsonic X1-4K Pro Projector Review: We Think Something Better
All in all, here are some things we think can be better:
- The projector lacks a lens cover, making it prone to dust accumulation, which can affect image quality over time.
- With only 8GB of internal storage (4GB available storage available), the projector is insufficient for users, those who may want to store media or applications locally.
- While the functionality of the Bluetooth backlight remote is functional, it provides few buttons, limiting quick access to critical features and advanced settings.
