First Impressions
The X2000B pulls off a tricky balancing act: It's easy to use but offers the right adjustments needed to get the most out of what it has to offer hardware-wise. Each of the picture modes offers calibration controls. While you need a meter and software to perform a proper calibration, if you have the tools, doing so is straightforward, effective, and only takes a few minutes because you can achieve high accuracy with a basic 2-point grayscale adjustment.ViewSonic equips this UST with a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports, one of which supports ARC. There is a stereo analog output on the X2000B that is usable as either a headphone jack or a stereo line output. With an appropriate adapter cable, the same jack can alternatively serve as a coaxial-digital output. Unfortunately, the lack of a variable audio output that tracks with the projector's volume control means you can't use it to feed an outboard subwoofer to supplement the built-in speakers. For Internet and network connections, it has both Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port.

System Experience | The ViewSonic UST projector features a 0.22:1 throw ratio, making it suitable for a range of screen sizes from 65 to 150 inches, which is a notable aspect of its design. This flexibility allows for proper focus across various display sizes, although the availability of compatible lenticular ALR screens is limited to 100 and 120 inches. The menu system is user-friendly, which enhances the overall experience. However, the built-in apps and streaming functionality fall short, particularly with issues related to the Netflix app and update failures. For optimal streaming of 4K content, it is advisable to utilize an external streaming device. Overall, while the projector offers versatility in screen size and a straightforward interface, its streaming capabilities are lacking, necessitating additional hardware for a complete experience. |
