ViewSonic PG701WU 3500 Lumens WUXGA DLP Projector
Product Overview
The ViewSonic PG701WU is a 3,500 ANSI lumen WUXGA DLP projector designed for corporate conference rooms, training environments, and AV installations where 1920x1200 native resolution is required for widescreen computer content and detailed presentations. Its SuperColor technology, 16ms input lag, and 1.1x optical zoom make it a direct, no-frills option for IT managers and AV integrators deploying mid-range projection in managed business environments. The SuperEco lamp mode extends rated lamp life to 20,000 hours, reducing maintenance frequency in high-use institutional deployments.
Product Description
WUXGA (1920x1200) is the native resolution of choice for displaying widescreen laptop outputs, spreadsheets, and CAD or technical drawing content without downscaling. The PG701WU targets that use case specifically — the 16:10 native format matches most professional laptop displays, and at 3,500 ANSI lumens it maintains legible image quality in conference rooms with partial ambient light. DLP technology via a 6-segment color wheel provides the sharp text rendering and low motion blur characteristics that make it suitable for fast-paced presentation transitions and data-heavy slides. The 203W lamp in SuperEco mode reaches 20,000 hours, roughly 4x the life of a standard lamp projector, reducing the total number of lamp replacements over a 5-year institutional deployment. Vertical keystone ±40° provides generous geometric flexibility for off-axis ceiling mount installations. The 1.5–1.65:1 throw ratio is in standard territory: at an 8-foot ceiling height, a 100" screen would require approximately 12.5–13.75 feet of throw distance. Dual HDMI 1.4 inputs support two simultaneous sources, and the USB-A port enables firmware updates and wireless dongle power. RS-232 provides serial control integration. At 5.7 lbs, it is lightweight for easy mount installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose WUXGA over WXGA or 1080p for conference room projection?
A: WUXGA (1920x1200) matches the native 16:10 resolution of most professional laptops without scaling. It also displays more vertical content than 1080p (1920x1080), which is useful for spreadsheets, coding environments, and technical documents.
Q: What throw distance is needed for a 100" screen?
A: With a 1.5–1.65:1 throw ratio, a 100" WUXGA screen requires approximately 12.5–13.75 feet from lens to screen surface.
Q: Does the PG701WU support RS-232 control system integration?
A: Yes. The RS-232 port enables serial control for integration with Crestron, AMX, and similar AV control platforms.
Q: How does the 20,000-hour SuperEco lamp life affect total cost of ownership?
A: A replacement lamp for a DLP projector typically costs $150–$300. At 8 hours per day / 250 days per year (2,000 hours/year), a 20,000-hour lamp represents 10 years before the first lamp replacement — eliminating multiple lamp replacement cycles compared to a standard 3,000–5,000 hour lamp projector.
Q: Is the PG701WU suitable for 3D projection?
A: The PG701WU supports 3D content playback via HDMI from compatible 3D Blu-ray players and computer sources. A compatible DLP-Link 3D glasses kit is required.
Q: What is the speaker output, and is external audio recommended?
A: The integrated speaker is 2W — supplemental at best. For standard conference room audio, connect to an external amplified speaker or room PA system via the 3.5mm audio output.
