Thank you for these reviews, it is serious dedication of time, and effort on your part!!! I decided 4k is great, but because of the distance, and my living room setup that I cannot switch to a higher end setup, because I cannot tell the difference! Especially with plain off white walls to just stick with 1080p for the budget price and quality of the PJ40. But, I have seen your earlier videos about flex seal paint ect… but would love to see an updated review of screen paint, because I have seen many new screen paints on the market!!! I am interested in purchasing this paint primarily for daytime use. It seems from other reviews to really make a daytime difference. (Side note: I was lead to use a short throw projector versus Ultra Short throw because of my fireplace blocking location of projector placement.) Btw, Speakers have not been important to me, because I use a 7.2 Channel surround, but I would love to see a review video for ease of use for Bluetooth setups because I am interested in the cordless functionality. I would like to see this because The Bluetooth marketing is very confusing! Bluetooth 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ect….. Also, I would like to compare how easy the setup process would be for the Bluetooth setup would be for some of your favorite projectors. Ontop of this I found the marketing for WiFi especially in the budget projector market to make some big big claims, WiFi 6 ect….I know there also WiFi speaker setups so this is also very confusing. Looking forward to see how you might review this the future!

Fantastic video as always. I would be curious as to what you think about the X500i vs the Nomvadic P1000 and Benq 4550i. I personally found the 4550is raised blacks to be a little distracting and it had a rainbow look when playing games in 1080p 120hz. Not 4k though. Im more curious just about your take from an overall picture quality stand point though and contrast between the three. Sorry as I know you have tons of comments and questions.

@TheHookUp Ай бұрын

X500i is definitely the best of those three in my opinion. When I tested the HT4550i I didn't find the dynamic eco mode particularly usable because it made abrupt and noticeable laser power changes, but I guess it's possible they've updated that with firmware. The X500i was much better in that regard and the dynamic black mode was very good. P1000 is probably the worst of the 3.

Im using one and its working great for me. One important thing for me is it was basically the only 4K Laser Gaming projector with eARC at its price point. I looked at the X2-4K and it really seemed like it performed better and has a lot of nicer options like a nice remote and built in wifi and internal power supply, but I needed eARC and the X2-4K does not have it. And I really needed standard throw not short throw.

@HoneyTwee Ай бұрын

@@jason3fc I'm in kind of the same boat with needing standard throw and not short throw. 0.95 to 1.05 really. But that's good to hear that it works great. I've heard so much about it being very faulty at the moment. Having faulty HDR implementation that is stuck on. That kind of thing. Seen people in forms say they have had it replaced twice already. So kinda put me off. But at least some people are having a good experience. I don't really know what eARC is or why that's so important though?

@TheHookUp Ай бұрын

I don't have much bad to say about the LX700-4K other than the fact that the dynamic black mode is unwatchable so the 5000:1 contrast ratios that some reviewers are reporting is not usable. Overall the color accuracy wasn't as bad as some people are complaining about and I didn't have any issues with HDR, though I'd still recommend turning off HDR at the source since SDR will look better on a single laser projector.

@jason3fc Ай бұрын

@@HoneyTwee I havent had any issues with HDR going off and on, it seems to work fine, though most non-gaming sources I am using is Apple TV. eARC is so I can route sound back out directly to my Soundbar/Sonos system which requires HDMI input.

I didnt have time to get to even halfway so if you mentioned this later in the vid, my bad. Dudes if youre deciding between the Nexigo and one of the BenQs and leaning towards BenQ you should keep in mind..the differnce between 8.6ms and 16ms input lag will be nothing. To anybody. Discernible input lag is way higher to the eye. He uses expensive testing equipment so everythings precise. Tbh, flatout...not even close in this list of PJs the Nexigo is the automatic choice. If ultra short throw is an option that is. The specs after testing on everything will blow them all out overall. And dont forget to use his link to buy any projector hes tested. Just search hook up projectors and the make and model. If hes reviewed it, the video will pop up. And just my little old opinion and only in the interest of helping...the Aurora Pro is the obvious winner. Serious gamers ( not professional perhaps) watch movies too dont ya? Its so much better.

@TheHookUp Ай бұрын

That is not backed up by the data from this video. The LX700-4k had relatively poor black levels in full power mode (0.101nits) and has an unusable dynamic black mode due to noticeable "steps" in laser dimming. The X2-4K's black levels were much better even with dynamic black mode off (0.067nits) and had a very usable dynamic black mode with a black floor of 0.034nits. The RBE was no different on the BENQ vs the Viewsonic models in this video, and I would say overall the focus on the BENQ units was better than the Viewsonics.

@sajmax6962 Ай бұрын

@@TheHookUp dynamic black mode is bad, use cinema or game mode on lx700 for best black levels with contrast +10 and brightness -12. May be your setup is different - for me in a 155 inch screen in pitch black environment, I have tested many BenQ models (Ht4550, Ht3560). I found lx700 having superior black levels sharpness and brightness with no RBE or speckles. I agree it falls short on color accuracy. Just my perspective...

@TheHookUp Ай бұрын

Dynamic black is not a picture mode, it's under lamp options. You get "constant power", "dynamic black" and "eco", and those are all selectable for each picture mode. The tests in this video were done in Cinema. LX700-4k has better native blacks than the ht4550i (and X3100i) for sure, but not better than the X500i. HT4550i blows the LX700-4K out of the water in terms of color accuracy though.

This review was fantastic, your breakdown of the technology and the fact you put the camera on the rail and slid it to show the rainbow effect was absolteIy brilliant. I know this is probably super niche but I am in the process of looking for a good projector specifically for 3D. I've watched about 8 of your videos so far. My budget is around $1000 but I am ok with a used unit. Currently I'm leaning towards the XGIMI Horizon Pro but I know that it has contrast issues based on your other fantastic reviews. Also I don't need the 4k, and although I like the increase lifespan of laser and led backlights, they aren't strictly a requirement. I doubt anyone else really cares about 3D, but seeing as the only current official offers that support 3D are projectors, and searching for "best 3d projector" gives one AI generated garbage videos/websites. Perhaps you might get some results with a short 2-3 minute video. I very much appreciated your addition of information about which projectors support 3d on the spec intro for each projector, it was helpful :)

@TheHookUp Ай бұрын

XGIMI Horizon Ultra is the best 3D experience I've ever had. I am not super sensitive to RBE, but I see lots of "flicker" in some 3D projectors. Horizon Ultra had no flicker and was an overall excellent experience. Black levels leave something to be desired, but 3D tends to darken things significantly anyways. I know you said your budget was around $1000, but if you've got a little stretch I don't think you'd regret it if 3D is a big selling point for you. Otherwise I'd wait because there are a bunch of new lifestyle projectors coming out this year so we'll probably see some good price cuts on existing models.

@petersvideofile Ай бұрын

@@TheHookUp Wow!!! Thanks so much for your reply! I will review your videos concerning the XGIMI Horizon Ultra vs the XGIMI Horizon Pro. Perhaps there is sufficient difference to justify the cost. I can get the XGIMI Horizon Pro relatively cheap used where I am $700. Also I was looking most recently at the OPTIMA GT3500HDR which is the new laser variant of the OPTIMA GT5600 UST projector. The GT3500HDRseems to be on sale for $1275 on Amazon sometimes according to some posts online, meanwhile the GT5600 can be bought for $600 on ebay. I don't need 4k so the 1080p projectors seem to make a degree of sense. EDIT: One other thing you could add in addition to if a projector supports 3d on the spec page is perhaps at what refresh rate it natively supports it, 120 / 144 are the most common these days it seems. You can measure this pretty easily with a photo diode (or probably some of the other gear you have).

I know this may not be something that everyone does and may be niche. However, there is no KZfaq videos on this exact subject. Some explain what you should look for and name a couple of brands and models which is very outdated and there is no actual real world comparisons. Hope you read this and consider it. Thanks again

@TheHookup - Thanks so much for these videos, they really help. I'm stuck with a need for a (traditional) short throw projector @ 7ft distance x 120'' screen - I'll use is for movies and TV, not so much gaming and it'll be in a finished basement w/low (though not zero) ambient light. The need for REGULAR short throw, really limits my options. Trying to be under $3k on the budget, and I see a lot of these "gaming projectors". My biggest concern is image quality. I think I'm down to this x500i and the just released TK710Sti (which has friggin' lasers!) - but will a "gaming" projector work well for my needs? Any other standard short throw options I'm missing? (I'm coming from a 12 year old 720p Benq W710ST, so I'm sure just about anything is an upgrade.)

The X500i is an excellent movie watching projector with the one exception that it doesn't have MEMC (if that's something you're into). The color accuracy, contrast, and clarity are the best you can get at that budget. I don't have a 710STi yet, but I should have one to review in the next month or two.

I don't think there's enough interest to warrant that, but here are the cliffs notes: 1) Short throw is preferable for not casting shadows onto your impact screen. 2) Contrast and black floor do not matter since you'll be using them in a room with high ambient light (so you can see the golf ball). 3) Brightness and color do matter. 4) 1080p and WUXGA are good budget options, the 4K resolution upgrade is marginal since impact screens generally have heavy texture that will prevent the 4K clarity. 5) Most people will end up with DLP projectors, but if you want to use a rear mounted swing camera you should opt for a 3LCD option (usually from Epson or Panasonic) instead because your swing camera will show all the rainbows from the DLP. I've used a bunch of projectors in my sim. I currently have a BENQ LK936ST that I bought for two main reasons: 1) It's designed to be extra dust proof and temperature tolerant, which is important since my sim is in my garage. 2) I use a nearly 1:1 aspect ratio, so with a 1080p projector (BENQ 671ST) I was losing a significant amount of resolution to the strange aspect ratio.

@TheHookUp let's assume it's still gain 1.0 on a dark Grey screen wall. Do you think the x500i would still show details in dark film areas or will it just become all black while the whites become egg tones because of the missing brightness then? Maybe the brighter models like the viewsonics will have more accurate results then, compared to the reference files you played? I am planning on getting a beamer for the European soccer championship but of course I will opt for a Grey screen wall in my home lounge so I can watch with friends without turning all lights completely out and still enjoy Grey and dark levels... so my question is not just theoretical but straight forward for a real use case in a social proper environment at home. Thanks for considering, HookUp Man 🙂👌

@TheHookUp 22 күн бұрын

I still don't know what you are talking about unfortunately. Are you saying you have a gray 1.0 gain screen? That's basically impossible and most gray paints will have a gain of 0.8 or less. Why do you keep saying "screen wall" instead of "screen" or "wall"? If you want a projector that can be viewed with the lights on you should opt for a UST with a proper ALR screen.

@user-wz3xt3li6b 22 күн бұрын

@TheHookUp oh so there is no 1.0 gain screen, they are 0.8 or less? Thanks for the clarification. I misunderstand your last question about Grey or black screens still are available with 1.0 gain. My question was originally without any gain factor. I don't know about gain factors in the results so I can't consider for now. But I know that a gray or black screen will need more light power in the projector to make a proper white so I am a little worried that the x500i power will be enough to illuminate a Grey screen in a social friendly room. There is a Grey screen about 120 inch available at Amazon here in Germany for 230€. No details about gain or whatever. Just it's very instead of white and therefore the contrast will of course be different from the white screen while the black levels might disappear to be all just plain black/ dark Grey with a weak brightness beamer on that screen. May I ask you why you are using a white screen in the first place? Does that have some advantage that I don't know yet? Thanks for answering, HookUp Man 🙂

@TheHookUp 22 күн бұрын

White screens are the standard for projectors. When you start using different colors it is impossible to judge color accuracy. When talking about gray screens you can measure their white gain, but they will have slightly different gains for each color resulting in very poor color accuracy.

Launch monitors have lag times between 500-2000ms, so adding a fraction of a second more from the projector makes no difference. I've used a bunch of projectors in my sim, but have currently settled on the BENQ LK936ST that I bought for two main reasons: 1) It's designed to be extra dust proof and temperature tolerant, which is important since my sim is in my garage. 2) I use a nearly 1:1 aspect ratio, so with a 1080p projector (BENQ 671ST) I was losing a significant amount of resolution to the strange aspect ratio.

@@TheHookUp Thank you for your response, you are very generous with your information and time. I'll probably go with the X500i it's 300 euros cheaper here and has a year longer warranty.
