Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12

ViewSonic PX701-4K

The ViewSonic PX701-4K is better than the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12. The ViewSonic projector is good for gamers with its 1080p @ 240Hz support. It's also brighter, but the Epson has vastly better color accuracy. The ViewSonic can also deliver sharper images through 4k pixel shifting, while the Epson projects a much lower 1080p image. The Epson has significantly more smart features, has an integrated smart interface with full Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, and is more portable.
