The media could not be loaded. **Review: Hisense Laser Cinema PL2The Hisense Laser Cinema PL2 is a feature-rich 4K ultra-short throw projector that delivers excellent value for money. With X-Fusion laser technology, Pure Colour, HDR10+, Dolby Vision & Atmos, and support for 3D and Filmmaker Mode, it brings a true cinematic experience right into your living room. The 2700 lumens brightness and 3000:1 native contrast ratio provide vibrant, sharp visuals even in brighter environments, while the wide projection range (80"–150") makes it versatile for different room sizes.Setup requires some patience, especially when adjusting the image to fit your screen perfectly—but once dialed in, it stays consistent. While auto screen size calibration or a slide-in/out mechanism would be a great future addition, the current setup still offers great flexibility.With its solid build quality, premium features, and high-end performance at a competitive price, the PL2 stands out as a smart investment for home cinema enthusiasts.

I just had my home theater upgraded but I originally planned to purchase a long throw projector with a motorized screen that hangs from the ceiling. I contacted a local company that specializes in home theaters and during my initial site visit, the owner of the company didn't recommend this, due to the size of my room and would be too costly to run HDMI cables and mounting the projector my ceiling; he suggested for me to purchase a 75 inch TV. I just happened to do a search on the cost of Ultra Short Throw Projectors and the Hisense PL1 was listed first and the price wasn't that expensive, less than $2000.00. My 55 inch TV is a Hisense and it's an awesome TV and I'm familiar with the functionality, therefore I decided to purchase the PL1. I could barely see the laser lights projecting my images to my screen. BTW I have a 100 inch ALR 16:9 projector screen, which I highly recommend. The picture is beautiful and bright, much better than my 55 inch, which I moved to my bedroom. Watching movies are so immersive, it feels like I'm in a commercial movie theater. Because of my Hisense PL1 projector, I have a true home theater!!

Writing this review after 50 days of use. This is my first TV projector which I am using in basement and it is great experience. I am using directly on white painted wall without ALR screen. Ordered special projector screen paint for wall from Amazon (approximately $186.00 with tax). Set up was very easy, just to put few inches in front of wall and move it in proper direction to get appropriate picture size on the wall.The quality of picture is great in low light area. It has Film-Maker mode in picture setting and it gives theater like experience. Remote control has short cut for Picture setting and Audio setting which is helpful to easily change appropriate picture and audio setting without closing current program. This projector is for low light area. I wouldn’t recommend this projector if there is lot of lights in room or for outdoor.Sound from is good enough for my basement but I am using external soundbar (from Sony 2.1 channel with inbuilt subwoofer). I would suggest using external soundbar and/or speaker system to improve sound experience. Dolby atoms sound is great using external soundbar/sound system. It has eARC port for easy connection for external sound system.It doesn’t have advanced Wi-Fi 6, 6e or 7 but has Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac (dual band) which is more than enough to watch movies, sports and TV show over Google TV. I needed to buy Wi-Fi extender (TP-Link Wi-Fi range extender, approximately $139.00 with tax from Best Buy) to get better Wi-Fi signal in basement. It would be great this projector has Wi-Fi 6, 6e or 7.It has Google TV and it has all the apps I needed including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sling, ESPN, You Tube and Tablo TV. Some apps require download which is easy with Google account.It does not have TV Tuner which I don’t need it and I don’t miss it. Now, many Apps are available to watch local channels for free and Apps availability for local channels will improve in future.Great and quick customer service experience from the dealer for price adjustment.One problem I have noticed is this projector turns on itself on some nights and I haven’t figured out to fix this problem yet. Not sure if this is a bug which may require software update. I need to make sure to plug it out at night to prevent turning it on itself.
