Our Verdict

ViewSonic PX701-4K

BenQ HT3560

The ViewSonic PX701-4K is better than the BenQ HT3560 if you don't care about image accuracy; if you do, then the BenQ HT3560 is the better option, as the ViewSonic is very inaccurate and can't be improved much through calibration. Otherwise, the ViewSonic has a better contrast ratio, offering a better movie-watching experience in dark rooms. The BenQ has a much wider color gamut, but neither projector is bright enough to make their colors pop. They both support 1080p @ 240Hz for gamers, alongside 4k @ 60Hz through pixel shifting.
