Third-party reviews

Reviews last updated: October 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Philips Gamepix 800 Smart

  • High brightness (2500 ANSI lumens) suitable for use in rooms with moderate ambient light
  • Excellent gaming performance with a 120Hz refresh rate and very low 8ms input lag
  • Smart features integrated via Google TV dongle, providing access to major streaming apps
  • Long-lasting LED light source with an estimated lifespan of 30,000 hours
  • Solid build quality and unique 'modern retro' black and red design
  • Supports 4K downscaling and HDR10/HLG formats

What customers don't like about Philips Gamepix 800 Smart

  • Native 1080p resolution rather than 4K
  • Limited contrast ratio (1500:1), resulting in dark scenes looking grey rather than black
  • Weak internal 5W monophonic audio that lacks bass and spaciousness
  • High operating fan noise in 'Normal' mode
  • Reported issues with the Bluetooth remote frequently disconnecting
  • Occasional rainbow fringing artifacts typical of DLP technology
  • Higher price point compared to other Full HD projectors without specialized gaming features

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.
