Tri-laser projector throws big, bright, cinematic visuals from inches away
• https://newatlas.com, By Paul RiddenIts full product name of PT1 4K TriChroma Laser Cinema projector gives lots of clues about what this model has to offer. First up is a triple-laser light source for "ultra-realistic colors and unmatched immersion."
Powered by the company's LPU digital laser engine, this ultra-short-throw (UST) model covers 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut while also offering Delta E color accuracy of 0.9 (the lower the better) and puts out 2,500 ANSI lumens. Hisense has also cooked in AI algorithms to "enhance brightness, fine-tune contrast, and eliminate noise" as well as tweak color and upscale standard definition to HDR.
The DLP projector employs pixel-shifting to produce 4K imagery, throwing 80-inch visuals onto a vertical display surface while sitting less than 4 inches away. But pulling the unit back farther could yield a viewing rectangle that stretches 150 inches diagonally.
If you have a screen, the image can auto snap to fill the space between its bezels to save precious setup time. In addition to support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced, there's also a Filmmaker Mode that adjusts parameters for "an authentic cinematic experience exactly as the director envisioned."
Dolby also rocks the 30-W dual-speaker sound system in the shape of Dolby Atmos immersion. An auto low-latency mode and motion compensation promises "ultra-smooth gameplay" courtesy of twin HDMI 2.1 ports. And the VIDAA OS platform runs the streaming show, with the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ on the menu over Wi-Fi 6E. The system can also sync with smart home platforms like Control4 for a seamless connected experience.
The PT1 UST projector is currently up for sale in Europe (€2,499), the UK (£2,399) and Australia (AUD 3,499), but we've no word on availability elsewhere.
