If you have the space, Thats a very good price for a gaming centric projector. Movies should look great but this thing will be fantastic for games. If it's like my optoma uhd50x then i think the resolution will be 4k60 or 1080p240. Input lag will be slightly higher at 4k but still good enough for fps, sports or souls games.

They may finally support 1440p120 but i doubt it.

TLDR summary of projectorcentral review:

"As the 3,200 ANSI lumen rating suggests, the natural home for the PX701-4K is in a room with ambient light. Most people will consider the image more than acceptable for a family room straight of the box, while serious gamers will also be attracted by the faster-than-typical lag time for 4K models. And although it doesn't offer the color accuracy, contrast, or black level a serious enthusiast would ideally want, it can also do a credible job on image quality with lights off."

Notable: 12,000:1 contrast ratio, tends towards blue, but can be improved if willing to tinker;

"After calibration, the final measured brightness for peak white with HDR input was significantly higher than for SDR, at 246.7 nits (72.01 ft-L). The measured color volume was 53.3% Rec.709 (35.8% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut), an improvement on the pre-calibration measurement. "

I wish there was a pole in the market to hang the projector from ....would be useful for people who don't want to permanently fix the projector up the wall.

I think this would indicate native 1080p with 4k supported. Or they just threw in "4k" to mess with people.

My PX 727 does 4K 60 hertz.
Picture quality is stunning, but I have to watch in a really dark room.
So it looks like this projector is a significant Improvement in the lighting and longevity department. How about picture quality itself?
Edit: 4ms? Damn, my 727 is like 50ms.
I guess I'm not really noticing it because I'm just playing all the ring single player games

That one is definitely 1080p but it might have 4K passthrough. That means it will accept 4K signal but only display it at 1080p.

It's basically the base model of this projector in this deal. For projector deals you kind of have to look at the MSRP to figure out what models equate to each other. Most similar models across all major brands have pretty much the same MSRP because they all seem to share the same internal parts, making the cost to produce pretty similar. The one you linked has an MSRP that is in line with the sale price of this one.

I think this ViewSonic is a step up over that one... Especially if you paid full price for that one at 600.
Almost every spec is close to the same so for presumably ~$150-200 more you get 4k60 with low input lag and 1080p240 with insanely low input lag.

I think it's worth the price to upgrade just because a 4K projector is probably going to keep you satisfied for a lot longer than a 1080p one will.

Viewsonic sells this on ebay refurbished for $675 with 2 year all state warranty. Keeps going in and out of stock. I purchased last month when there was a ebay coupon was running for 20% off.
So far so good. Picture is very sharp but the color accuracy is not as good as my earlier Optoma HD141X. But still good enough.
Projector needs good bit of calibration. I am using the economy mode to reduce the noise but still very bright. I have a dedicated media room so no outside light issues.

Only glitch so far, is that the projector will not switch on if left off for a week or so. Need to unplug the power cord and put it back. Works fine after that. Anyone knows why this pay happen? I tried different power settings but no luck.

This projector does support 3d by the way. However, the format they support is only frame sequential not SBS nor TOB which makes it a deal breaker for me.
