ViewSonic is a video conferencing product manufacturer that started as a display, founded in 1987 in Southern California, USA, and has gone through 30 years. As a professional manufacturer in the field of global video conferencing, ViewSonic also has a layout in the projector industry, compared with the core product display, although the projector is not the most important product line of ViewSonic but also quite important, from home to business education, from high-end engineering series to small micro-investment, ViewSonic can see the figure.
In the field of home projectors, ViewSonic also uses the DMD chip of Texas Instruments, an upstream manufacturer, with two main specifications: 0.65-inch and 0.47-inch 1080P chips. ViewSonic has achieved the greatest balance between projection image quality and price, and all its 1080P products use 0.65-inch DMD chips, while 0.47-inch chips focus on cost-effective 4K through pixel offset.
Although ViewSonic has achieved a balance in picture quality and price,But the homogenization of its products is very serious,The difference between different models of products is very small,This is also the result of ordinary projection brands being squeezed by Optoma、BenQ、Epson and other large manufacturers。 However, with years of accumulation in the video industry, ViewSonic has a very good color control of the product, and with the exclusive SuperColor dazzling technology, the color reproduction of the picture is very good.
ProjectorCentral, an authoritative projector evaluation agency, has evaluated and ranked home projectors at different prices on the market in groups, and in all the groups, the top ten projectors are basically all occupied by Sony, JVC, Optoma, BenQ and Epson, and there are few other brands. ViewSonic took the second place in the top 10 home projectors (under $1,500) for its excellent color tuning, and ViewSonic PX727-4K was named an "Editor's Choice" in 2018 by ProjectorCentral. In CNET's 2019 Best Home Projectors, ViewSonic PJD7828HDL has an excellent price/performance ratio, ranking fourth with a score of 7.8.
All ViewSonic home projectors use 240W lamps and have a service life of up to 3,500 hours. In terms of price, ViewSonic 1080P projectors are around 10,000 yuan, while PJB7938UD, PT4839, PT5639 and TUD938 4K projectors are only 1000-5000 yuan more expensive than 1080P, which is worth starting. It is worth mentioning that,ViewSonic 1080P projector uniformity is not done well,In addition to the brightness uniformity of 80%PJB7868HD,The brightness uniformity of the whole system1080P products is only 75%,There is still a big gap from 90%The top level in the industry。
The reason for this is also the result of ViewSonic underinvestment in the field of projectors. For a long time, the display has been ViewSonic core product line, and the research and development and technical support of projection products are relatively weak, of course, this is also related to the fact that ViewSonic decision-makers did not accurately predict the outbreak of the home projection industry.
