Retailing at just over £1,500 and aimed at moderately serious videophiles, the full 1080p HD ViewSonic Pro9000 lacks some of the features you might expect to see in this sort of price range – including, for example, frame interpolation – but it offers a h...

Native 1080p resolution, LED and laser hybrid light source, Impressive image quality, Little or no rainbow effect...

No 3D support, No lens shift and minimal zoom...

I'd like this projector a lot more if it included features like lens shift and a greater level of zoom. However, it delivers a suitably high quality image, little to no rainbow effect, and a hybrid light source that promises a low total cost of ownership...

Though the price of high-quality home theater projectors has come down quite a bit in recent years, there’s one daunting aspect of projector ownership that keeps would-be owners on the fence: lamp replacement. Read more...

We think ViewSonic has a winner of a projector on its hands with the PRO9000. Its cool and quiet operation, relatively compact size and light weight, excellent color reproduction, stellar remote, and admirable brightness levels are trumped only by its 20...

The ViewSonic Pro9000 is a hybird "lamp-free" Full HD LED laser hybrid projector. This technology promises all the advantages of standard DLP but without any of the drawbacks—in other words,... ViewSonic has presented a new high-end flagship video projec...

Good contrast, deep black, Backlit remote with plenty of shortcuts, Low power use: 98 W, Quiet: 33 dB...

Colour fidelity could be better: average Delta E = 7, No motioncompensation or interpolation system...

This new type of hybrid laser technology is certainly promising. The ViewSonic Pro9000 offers decent picture quality (high contrast, good sharpness), with low power use and noise levels. It's just a shame that ViewSonic didn't pay more attention to colour...

Home cinema projectors usually come in two varieties – DLP and LCD. Viewsonic’s latest is neither – the Pro9000 uses a hybrid LED system that eliminates the need for a traditional lamp, which could make it the ideal compact projector for a small living...

Hybrid laser technology removes the lamp and makes the Pro9000 a very appealing home cinema projector...

Following the extinction of gloriously bulky CRT video projectors, big screen aficionados have had a clear choice between LCD and DLP. Both technologies are capable of great results, yet have distinct weaknesses: single chip DLP projectors often suffer...

As a technology development, Laser Hybrid LED has a lot going for it. It’s only marginally more expensive than similarly specified LCD and DLP models, and its colour performance is striking. However on the Pro9000 it’s not quite bright enough to funct...

We're not sure if it's just our age, but for some reason whenever we hear the word ‘laser' we feel a rush of childish excitement. Maybe it's those games of LaserQuest with our school mates, or maybe it's the those amazing laser effects at the posh firewo...

Excellent colour resolution, No DLP rainbow effect, Unusually good motion handling...

Average black level response, Some speckling noise, Absence of subtle details in very bright picture areas...

Given the extreme contrast demands placed on projectors by many of our favourite Blu-rays, the ViewSonic Pro9000's difficulties handling dark scenes represent a major hurdle to us taking the company's bold new projector technology to our hearts just yet.T...

October 2012 - Art Feierman A few months ago, one of our other reviewers (Mike) looked at a "business version" of the Pro9000 projector. That model, the Pro8300, looks the same, but performs very differently. Thiss Pro9000 is geared for better c...

We were able to get a good look at the Pro9000 and its feature set, but we are awaiting a full production projector. This engineering sample (pre-production) had a number of issues, some that Viewsonic has said have already been fixed in newer versions o...

Nearly all front projectors currently on the market use UHP (Ultra-High Pressure) lamps to generate light. This light gets manipulated by either LCD, LCOS, or as in the case with the Pro9000, DLP. UHP lamps offer incredible amounts of output, but a lot ge...

Judged solely as a projector, the Pro9000 is vastly outperformed by Sony, Epson, and JVC, all of which are basically the same price as the ViewSonic. Even if you figure in not having to pay for lamps over the lifetime of the projector, it is still not a...

In the home-projector segment, there really haven't been many projectors over the past two years that have reached our door step without the 3D logo on them. It's primarily because they have a hard time in the current 3D hungry market. That, however, does...

Priced for moderately serious videophiles, the full 1080p HD ViewSonic Pro9000 $1,879.99 at Amazonis available both by itself and from the sort of dealers who will install and calibrate the projector for you, help match it to an appropriate screen and scr...

The ViewSonic Pro9000 home theater projector offers enough to justify its price, but lacks features you might expect, including 3D support, frame interpolation, and conveniences like lens shift...

For LED/laser projectors to be attractive, they need to be price-competitive. The Viewsonic Pro9000 is a groundbreaking product, but it is also the first generation of a relatively new technology. In the future, you can bet on most projectors using sol...
