Philips GamePix 900 4K Projector Review

The Philips GamePix 900 lacks some physical features. We would have liked to have at least some control capability on the unit itself, in case of problems with the remote. There is a decent level of adjustment with the remote available, however. The projector could also have benefited from more inputs than just the single HDMI, if you wanted to connect a console or gaming PC alongside a set-top box or other media player. The USB port is for power only, and automatic focus and keystone adjustment are also missing.

But then there's the image quality, which will help you forgive most of these omissions. At 4K, the detail is superb and colour is great at all resolutions. The 240Hz refresh at 1080p makes for smooth gaming when ultimate detail is less important. Overall, the performance is excellent, particularly at the introductory price of £495.

The Philips GamePix 900 is available from Philips for £819 (reduced to £495 at time of publication).

Pros:

• Excellent colour and detail.
• 4K resolution.
• 240Hz refresh at 1080p.
• HDR10 support.

Cons:

• No control buttons on unit itself meaning you're stuck if you lose the remote.
• No automatic focus or keystone.
• USB for power output only.
• No adaptive sync.

KitGuru Says: The Philips GamePix 900 offers excellent image quality, but lacks a few features and connectivity is limited. At the discounted price, it's exceptional value, and even at the regular price it's well worth considering.
