Verdict

The Philips GamePix 800 Smart is a Full HD (1920x1080) LED projector powered by a 0.65” DMD DLP chip, delivering an impressive 2,500 ANSI lumens of brightness and 98% Rec. 709 colour coverage. Primary pros include its gamer-focused 120Hz refresh rate and ultra-low 8ms input lag, alongside built-in Google TV for seamless streaming and a long-lasting light source rated for 30,000 hours. However, notable cons include a relatively modest 1500:1 native contrast ratio that can result in greyish blacks in dark scenes, manual focus and keystone adjustments, and reports of occasional interface lag or remote connectivity issues.
