The X1 and X2 Projectors Features the Latest LED Technology for High Brightness, Harman Kardon Speakers and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Connectivity

Brea, CA (January 6, 2022) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, announces the launch of two new LED-based smart home theater projectors. The X1 and X2 are lamp-free projectors utilizing next-generation LED technology to ensure higher brightness levels and up to 30,000 hours of usage. The ViewSonic X1 and X2 projectors feature native 1080p resolution, color reproduction technologies for stunning image quality, as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for sharing entertainment from other devices.

Both projectors deliver true-to-life colors through the company’s proprietary Cinema SuperColor+™ technology, while the Dynamic Black technology offers more image depth by automatically adjusting for brightness levels, allowing users to see more dark scene details. With 125% Rec.709 color coverage, the X1 and X2 provides vivid images with high-contrast performance, and the dual built-in Harman Kardon speakers ensure a truly immersive experience.

With the Bluetooth feature, the X1 and X2 can be used for personal entertainment, either doubling as a powerful Bluetooth speaker with music from a phone or tablet or can be used with Bluetooth headphones for personal viewing and listening. The built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi connectivity speed enables screen mirroring from smart devices to the big screen, making streaming easier than ever. Users can also control the X1 and X2 from a smart phone through the vCastSender app from ViewSonic for effortless navigation and touch control.

"The X1 and X2 projectors are the next generation of ViewSonic smart projectors," said Mia Shen, Sr. Business Line Manager of Projectors at ViewSonic. "We used the latest LED technology to ensure that we get higher brightness levels so these projectors can be used in various ambient light settings. The LED light source also makes them super convenient to power on/off, and calibration and modifications can simply be made with the unique sliding door design at the top of the projectors. The X1 and X2 not only provide high brightness and a large viewing screen but offer better colors, a longer lifespan and smart features and a great price compared to laser projectors."

Designed to make installation and picture adjustments easier, the X1 can be quickly set-up on a tabletop or mounted to a ceiling. Featuring a 0.69-0.83 short throw ratio, the X2 can deliver a screen size up to 100" from only 1.53 meters away—that means scaled up excitement larger than any TV screen. Because of their sleek looks, both projectors can be set up in any location without interfering with existing interior designs. The X1 comes with a 1.3x optical zoom lens and the X2 has a 1.2x optical zoom, and both feature auto keystone and 4-corner adjustment functions that ensure perfectly shaped images from above, below, front or side and make set up a breeze.
