Projectors 101: Make the Right Choice

2018-11-28
if you look at the three projectors on the table here it's very hard to tell the difference between them they all look like projectors but that's about it they all have real differences that affect how you might want to actually use them now if you Sonic reached out and asked to sponsor a video so that we can help make your projector buying decision a little bit easier what to look for and how to tell the difference between these white boxes okay so even though there are differences still a lot is the same between these they are all 1080p and resolution they all use a lamp which is what produces the light there are all DLP projectors and they're all meant to be used in the home of course you could use these in other environments but home is the primary focus reading the product names doesn't really get you any closer to understanding these projectors either we have the px 700 HD coming in at $499 the PX 706 HD coming in at $6.99 and the PX 725 HD coming in at 679 and they each specialized in more or less one thing first is the px 700 HD this is the projector you buy if you just want to get up and running easily and start consuming content it has HDMI in the back like all these projectors do but there's also a USB port that is powered so you can plug in your chromecast a fire stick or your Roku and power it from the projector itself without needing to plug anything else into the wall it's also rated at 3500 lumens with a 16 millisecond input latency so you'll be able to watch more content in more places this brightness also means that you don't have to have a treated room you can watch it anywhere even if there's ambient light this is a great option for those who want a projector but don't necessarily want to dedicate the resources to a full fledged entertainment room you would easily use this to consume content on a up to 300 inch screen not to mention it also has 3d capability if that's something you're looking for and it's a great long-term solution as well the lamp is rated at 15,000 hours so you won't have to replace it nearly as fast now next is the px 706 HD this is very similar to the first projector and almost has the same features but this is packing even more this is really meant for gaming and smaller spaces this has a short throw lens built in so you can have it very close to the wall and still get an up to 100 inch image with these other two projectors you have to have them set up farther away now it also has 16.4 millisecond input latency it has a sonic expert speaker which for a projector actually gets loud enough to use which you don't see very often and on top of that 3d support 20 2001 contrast ratio USBC for easy one cable connection and a zoom feature that lets you adjust the size of the display this is a full-featured projector for a smaller space and if you're in a gaming now finally we have the P X 725 HD this is the projector you want if image quality is your goal it has much better color accuracy it has a slightly lower brightness level at 2000 lumens but with rec.709 color accuracy and a faster color will you get more vivid images and a smoother color variation you can also customize your own color profile to get exactly what you want and it's ISF certified and you can calibrate the image for day and night viewing it doesn't have some of the features that the other projectors have but that's not the goal of this projector color accuracy is so those are the differences between these projectors and kind of what to look for when purchasing a projector first you make sure that you know you want it for and the what feature is most important to you then you find what fits best if you're looking for a great all-around entertainment projector or you want one for gaming or want one with the best color accuracy even though these projectors physically look more or less the same they are very different if you pick the right one you should be happy before we head out though if you are interested in winning one of these projectors we're running a giveaway where you can enter to win one of these new projectors it's open internationally so anyone can enter and it'll run through these dates here so check the link down in the description for more and for a chance to win but if you have any questions be sure to leave them down below I want to thank viewsonic for sending these outs and for sponsoring this video if you enjoyed it and you wanna see more videos like this be sure to hit that subscribe button I mag it's also taken a buffalo and I'll see you next time you
