Xbox-Certified 4K Projector Unveiled, But It'll Cost You Serious Money

My visually impaired a** would love one of these; looking at the website, the thing will project an image up to 120 inches 😍

Forgive my ignorance, but how does sound work when using projectors like this? Does it have speakers in it?

@Markatron84 It has two speakers built in

Price is actually not too bad. Been kicking around the idea of switching to a projector setup in our game room, will keep this one in mind

It is expensive - but it isn't insane. Good tvs cost as much.

@pepsilover2008 cheers 👍

I used to have a projector it was awesome. I have very fond memories of playing nazi zombies from COD world at war on an entire wall with friends back in college.

That’s very cheap. I currently have a $3500 projector not including the screen for my main home theater.

But it only plays starfield at 30fps.....

Imo 55” is the perfect size screen for gaming. I don’t wanna be playin COD team death match an have to turn my head to see people!!

@Markatron84 While I haven't heard this projector, historically projectors have pretty limited sound features. This being a "gaming" projector might be better than your standard workplace projector. You might be better off using a headset or something else for audio.

@Lastatopiny But these people are people-sized!!

@Markatron84 I feel if I ever upgrade my plasma screen that might be a great option … the only down side is that I might have all my games at 60 FPS

@AlwaysPlaying as much as I'd love one and as useful as it would be for someone with my disability, I'm under no illusions that I'll ever actually get one of these. I don't have the room to utilise it properly and the $1600 price tag is a bit of a roadblock as well.

I'll just have to keep sitting a foot away from my 43-inch TV 🤣🤣

I know this sounds like I am bragging, but I already have a 4K HDR projector. The Optoma UHD51ALVe. Cost about £1300. Money well spent. Watching movies on a 120inch projector screen is about as close as I will ever get to a true home cinema. In fact, the room it is in is probably not quite big enough. Never used it for games though, as this would eat into the lamp life too much.

@Markatron84

You need a surround sound amplifier. Connect your speakers - and connect the hdmi out on your amplifier to the projector, the same way you would with the tv. For instance, I use the Onkyo Txrz760 receiver, and a 5.1.2 surround setup. In theory, I could use 7.1.2, or 5.1.4, but I don’t actually have the room, at the minute. One day, maybe, if I move house.

@Scummbuddy an i’d av to look left an right which adds seconds to my reaction.

@Lastatopiny Yeah I think 55" TV's are ideal for most gaming purposes, but I can see the appeal of a projector for some kind of cool screen setup though.

@Matthewnh Lamp life is what always made me shy away from one. Sounds like a hassle to worry about replacing the lamp, and probably quite expensive too.

Well, yeah. I bought three spare lamps for my projector. they cost about 75 pounds each. With is kinda expensive - for a light bulb. That should last throughout my entire lifetime, I guess. Had the projector for about five years, haven’t needed to worry about changing the lamp, yet. Not as if it gets used every night. This is why I only use it for movies, and not for gaming. Still not very keen on the idea of actually changing the lamp, when I need to, but there has to be instructions somewhere, right?

$1600 is not expensive for a 4K projector. The brightness needs to be at least or more than 2800 lumens if you have any windows or ambient lighting.

It's a tasty bit of kit but I'll have to stick with my TV.

Does it have Dolby Vision

@Markatron84
Some/most projectors have speakers built in.
I prefer to have my 23 speaker set-up hooked up. Which I can still do with my projector.

@Markatron84
just make sure you have room for a screen.
you need about 12 feet vertical by 12 feet horizontal to properly set up a screen. then you need about 11 feet from screen to projector to have the full image displayed.

I have and use this one for my Switch, PS4, SNES, NES, PS2, Wii, GameCube and WiiU.

I use a different Projector for my 4kUHD movies and Series X

ViewSonic have always launched expensive monitors.

@Markatron84 If it works as any other monitor, you can connect your soundbar or favorite audio device

@Spider-Kev not if its short throw though, recently got one for the living room that needs about 6 foot for 100"

@Deljo
True.

I have an Ultra Short Throw. It's great. Triple 4kUHD laser. has Dolby Vision as well!

@Spider-Kev only recently got into it but they're a lot of fun. Set up my racing rig and playing forza on the big screen is something else. 👌

@Matthewnh Thanks for your reply. Not as expensive as I thought, and they also last longer than I thought. Will definitely keep this in mind if I see a good deal on one

I'll put that on the list of Independently wealthy purchases.

Based on the product photos it looks like it's also light as a feather. It's sitting on that cushion and it's not squashing it at all!
