It's surprisingly compact among USTs, measuring 17.75 x 3.9 x 13.1 inches (WHD), and offers somewhat unusual styling with a front grille that protrudes wider than the actual projector cabinet. There are screw holes on the bottom of the unit for use with the ceiling mount bracket. This projector provides multiple mounting options including front and rear-projection and placement either above or below the screen. For Internet and network connections, it has both Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port. Unfortunately, the lack of a variable audio output that tracks with the projector's volume control means you can't use it to feed an outboard subwoofer to supplement the built-in speakers. With an appropriate adapter cable, the same jack can alternatively serve as a coaxial-digital output. There is a stereo analog output on the X2000B that is usable as either a headphone jack or a stereo line output. ViewSonic equips this UST with a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports, one of which supports ARC.

While you need a meter and software to perform a proper calibration, if you have the tools, doing so is straightforward, effective, and only takes a few minutes because you can achieve high accuracy with a basic 2-point grayscale adjustment. Each of the picture modes offers calibration controls.
The X2000B pulls off a tricky balancing act: It's easy to use but offers the right adjustments needed to get the most out of what it has to offer hardware-wise. It may not offer the intense color saturation of a triple-laser RGB UST, but it does a good job with the capability it has.

The X2000B's default picture mode settings deliver a pleasing picture with accurate skin tones. This keeps pace with projectors known to use the ALPD 3.0 light source from Appotronics. And while the official specifications discuss a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the more meaningful capability is the X2000B's 3000:1 native contrast ratio. In its marketing, ViewSonic refers to this being its second-generation laser phosphor light source technology. This model's official MSRP is $3,099 but its common street price is $2,899, and at this writing it was being offered for a promotional price of $2,599 with some retailers.
Unlike bulb-based projectors, it uses a laser-phosphor light source that's rated at 2,000 ANSI lumens and 20,000 hours lifespan. The X2000B is ViewSonic's first 4K Laser TV UST. It is compact, offers great picture quality, supports 3D, and is easy to use. The first 4K laser UST projector from ViewSonic is an excellent choice at its price point.
