SubscribeHisense today officially announced and shared details on its PX3-PRO living room UST projector, the first of its 2024 laser projector line-up expected to reach market.
Scheduled for a third-quarter release with an MSRP of $3,499, the PX3-PRO replaces the PX2-PRO that began shipping in June 2023, which previously replaced the PX1-PRO from early 2022, a ProjectorCentral Editor's Choice honoree. Unlike the projector/screen bundles Hisense sells under the Laser TV moniker, the PX projectors are sold alone and dubbed Laser Cinema models, and they come with a variable focus lens that can accommodate a range of screen sizes.
The PX3-PRO, in particular, boasts an image size of 80 to 150 inches diagonal (16:9), which is up from 90 to 130 inches found in the prior PX models. To help support the larger image size, the PX3-PRO will also offer much more light output, with a jump from 2,400 ANSI lumens in the PX2 to 3,000 ANSI lumens, a brightness previously offered only in the company's top-of-the-line L9 series Laser TV models that tapped out at a 120 inch diagonal screen size.
Along with a sharp-looking cosmetic redesign, another potentially significant improvement is in the built-in audio system behind the shapely front grille, which has gone from a poorly performing 15 watt x 2 speaker system in the earlier PX models to a 50-watt front-firing Harman Kardon system. Hisense has repeatedly scored at the bottom of our audio testing in the ProjectorCentral/ProjectorScreen.com Laser TV Showdowns, while most projectors whose manufacturers have partnered with Harman Kardon—even inexpensive ones—have scored near the top. As before, the sound system will offer Dolby Atmos compliance.
The light engine uses Hisense's TriChroma triple-laser RGB technology as well the company's LPU (Light Power Unit) tech, and promises the ability to show 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut. The projector's sophisticated video processing will now boast what Hisense calls "Pro AI Algorithms" to provide real time enhancements to brightness, contrast, and noise reduction.
Other key specs include a claimed native 3,000:1 contrast ratio, Dolby Vision HDR compliance along with that for HDR10+ and Imax Enhanced content, and the addition of 1080p 3D support, something that was missing from the earlier PX models and has been absent from a number of new UST and other projectors in recent years. Gaming is said to be supported with unspecified "high refresh rates" though no specs were given for low input lag, a spec that measured a relatively high 49.3 milliseconds on the PX2-PRO in our tests.

Rounding out the feature list is the Google TV streaming platform first introduced to Hisense laser UST's last year, an improved system from earlier Android executions that most notably includes a working Netflix app along with Disney+, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and most other major services available through Google's app store. The platform also supports voice commands through Google Assistant.

I used to run a sim2 HT380 projector with a panamorph anamorphic lens, I shouldn't have sold that setup! It was a 14ft wide 2.35 image. I'd like to do that again, I wonder if we can achieve it with 2 UST laser projectors and edge blend them!
