Our Verdict
ViewSonic PX701-4K
XGIMI HORIZON
The ViewSonic PX701-4K is slightly better than the XGIMI HORIZON for watching movies due to its superior contrast, and is also much better for gaming due to its 1080p @ 240Hz capabilities. Both projectors are wildly inaccurate before calibration, and while you can't improve the XGIMI enough with calibration to make it truly accurate, the ViewSonic, for its part, can barely be improved at all, so it's still very inaccurate post-calibration.
