ViewSonic Pro7827HD Pro Reviews

Not quite the picture quality champ at its price, the Viewsonic PRO7827HD still performs well and offers excellent features for the price.

ViewSonic’s low-budget Pro7827HD home theater projector has its compromises but delivers impressive performance for the price.

The ViewSonic Pro7827HD is one of the more impressive home entertainment projectors in its price range. Along with 1080p resolution and full 3D support, it delivers excellent color quality, fewer rainbow artifacts than the vast majority of DLP projectors, and support for ISF-Certified color calibration. It also delivers a bright enough image to stand up to the typical ambient light in a family room at night using a 110" image with the best color-quality preset mode, or as much as a 135" image with the brightest preset mode. Beyond that, the Pro7827HD is also light enough for portable applications, and it offers a vertical lens shift, 1.3x zoom, and a hidden compartment for a wireless streaming dongle. The fan noise in full power mode may be an issue if you can't set up the projector far enough from where people are sitting. However if you can set it up that way, the noise is irrelevant, and there's little else about the projector that doesn't count as a plus. Overall, this is an exciting home theater projector for $900, and it gets a solid 5 stars for value.
