it used to be that if you were buying a cheap projector you knew you're in for a dim image with a terrible picture but brands like BenQ have shown it's possible to make a good performing projector for under a thousand bucks unfortunately the viewsonic Pro 8200 harkens back to the bad old days hi I'm ty Pendlebury for cnet.com while the viewsonic is based on the same DLP technology as the Ben QW 1080 it is far far worse in terms of aesthetics though this is a handsome projector with a distinctly sci-fi look it comes with adjustable feet on the front and back but sadly no lens shift luckily though the digital Keystone is very good but it's one of the only things that's good about this the ViewSonic offers a whole ton of connections including two HDMI ports and it also has an onboard speaker but its picture quality that is the most important thing with any display and sadly this is where the pro 8200 suffers black levels are fairly average colors are way too saturated and shadow details suffer from the worst crushing I think I've ever seen given that the BenQ 1070 and 1080 are the same prices this projector and offer a picture that's probably ten times better there's no reason at all to get the viewsonic pro 82 this has been Taipan debrief to CNN
