Optoma HD142X vs ViewSonic PJD7828HDL – great color, great value

Optoma HD142X vs ViewSonic PJD7828HDL

Optoma HD142X – is absolutely perfect?

Optoma HD142XTesting Optoma HD142X, I pointed the following feature of the device – the screen size range is about 66-inches from 8 feet and 107-inches - from 12 feet. I also like the picture during the gameplay. I must say, the noise from the fan is manageable. I like the brightness that is quite well with all the lights on in my little room.

Optoma HD142X PROS:
  • The main menu is very detailed. It gives me a plenty of control functions. I may choose the color of the wall in that the picture will be projected.
  • I like the 10W speaker that gives so much sound! It is pretty well!
Optoma HD142X CONS:
  • The USB doesn’t work. I have checked it on the main menu as well as at the power settings - the USB Power was really turned on. But it still doesn’t work.
  • I don’t like that there is only vertical Keystone correction.

ViewSonic PJD7828HDL – innovative device

ViewSonic PJD7828hdlThe ViewSonic PJD7828HDL is a real breakthrough in the world of the projectors! I can’t imagine that the lamp life permits shining for up to 10.000 hours. A magic SuperColor technology allows me a wide color amplitude for real image in any environment. There two built-in speakers deliver to perform my home theater experience. I like the brightness – it is 3200 lumens.

ViewSonic PJD7828HDL PROS:
  • I like the larger projected area. It is perfect due to the short throw design.
  • I like the flexible connectivity of the device - it supports Macs, PCs and my mobile device.
ViewSonic PJD7828HDL CONS:
  • I don’t like that the lowest border of the sound is still too loud.
  • After the first 10 minutes, the device became too hot and shut down automatically.

ViewSonic PJD7828HDL vs Optoma HD142X – what is the difference?

Testing two projectors I have realized that they both have pros and cons. I suggest you the next quick comparison chart to understand their features better.

Optoma HD142X has amazing contrast ratio 23000:1 versus ViewSonic PJD7828HDL with 20000:1.

Optoma HD142X is heavier if I compare it to ViewSonic PJD7828HDL, it is 5.5 pounds, ViewSonic is 4.6 pounds.

ViewSonic PJD7828HDL allows 3-year warranty for spare parts, while Optoma has no such feature.

Optoma HD142X set up is quick and painful, while ViewSonic PJD7828HDL is a real headache.

The final choice of the customer should depend on individual needs such as the presence of remote control, longer lamp life, throw ratio range, better brightness, and so on.
