- 80-100 inches and 2,500 ANSI lumens
- $2,999 / already discounted to £1,799 in the UK
Hisense has launched a brand new triple-laser projector that's designed for home theater lovers "who care more about performance than about frills", and it's priced very competitively.
The PT1 Triple Laser Cinema is designed to project images from 80 inches to 150 inches, and because it's an ultra-short throw projector it can do that from just a few inches away. It delivers 2,500 ANSI lumens of brightness and has a contrast ratio of 3,000:1.
The PT1 is available in both the US and the UK. The UK model runs VIDAA U7.6 OS rather than the Google TV of the US model, but is otherwise identical.
Hisense PT1 Triple Laser Cinema: key specifications and pricing
The core of the PT1 is Hisense's Triple Laser Light, which as the name suggests uses a trio of lasers – red, green and blue – to deliver 110% of the BT.2020 color space, which is beyond the capability of conventional TV.
There's support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+, plus IMAX Enhanced certification, with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound for immersive audio. And naturally, there's an AI upscaler to bring lower-res images up to 4K. There's compatibility with both Google Assistant and Alexa in the US version.
One of the most appealing features of the PT1 Triple Laser Cinema is its price tag: $2,999. In the UK, the official price is £1,999 but retailers are already listing it for member prices as low as £1,699, which is very competitive among the best ultra short throw projectors.
The P1T's price makes it considerably more affordable than the same firm's very impressive L9Q Laser TV, which is roughly twice the price in both markets. That triple-laser projector is brighter – 5,000 lumens to the P1T's 2,500 – and can go larger, with a maximum recommended size of 200 inches. But if you're not living in a massive mansion with sunlight streaming in from all directions, the P1T is likely to be a better fit for both space and budget.
The P1T is available now from Hisense and authorized retail partners.
