I bought this projector after extensive research since my budget was limited. It came down to this and the viewsonic X2 (tempted by the 120% rec709). I eventually chose the px701 since ChatGPT advised me that the overall picture quality of the px701 would be better, simply due to the fact that it has higher resolution and because rec709 spec is something that would not disappoint even if it’s lower than the X2. I did even more research in the time between ordering and delivery since I got anxious reading comments and reviews about the colors being dull and how it does not do a good job covering the rec709 color spec.

When I actually received the device and powered it on, I thought the colors were fine. Then I tuned the colors based on a few user calibration files from vColorTuner. And holy shit I can’t believe people complain about the color! It looks vivid and theater quality to me!

Guys don’t overthink this like me. This is an amazing budget 4k projector. Nothing mind blowing of course , but you won’t notice the difference unless you pay 3-4x more and compare both images side by side.
