Hisense PL1 Ultra-Short Throw 4K Laser Projector

Bring the cinema home with X-Fusion™ Laser Technology

The Hisense PL1 ultra-short throw projector delivers a stunning image with excellent clarity and vivid, lifelike colours. With X-Fusion™ Laser Technology the PL1 utilises a precise laser light source to deliver a vibrant picture with an impressive 2100 Lumens of brightness.

Featuring an adjustable digital lens you can choose an image size from 80" to 120" for a truly cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home. This compact ultra-short throw projector also sits neatly on a tabletop and comes with all the conveniences of a modern smart TV — including a built-in Dolby Atmos® sound system.

4K enhanced by HDR

The PL1's pixel-shifting DLP projection technology delivers razor-sharp detail, letting you take advantage of the range of 4K content now available on streaming services like Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. Even Standard definition content gets a boost thanks to the built-in 4K upscaling, so you can benefit from enhanced image quality no matter the source.

The Hisense PL1 also supports various HDR (High Dynamic Range) formats including HDR10, Dolby Vision®, and HLG, helping to bring out additional detail and contrast when viewing HDR-encoded programs.

Intuitive interface and smart features

The projector's built-in VIDAA Smart TV interface lets you browse a wide range of popular streaming services including Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. You can also stream wirelessly from your smartphone using device pairing or Apple AirPlay 2 if you’re using an iPhone. There is also a comprehensive VIDAA app that you can use to control the projector.

Watch as the director intended with FILMMAKER MODE™

If you're a movie fan you’re in for a treat, the PL1 supports Filmmaker Mode, helping you to experience films exactly as their creators intended. For gaming fans, Game Mode keeps input lag down to a minimum to ensure your controls feel smooth and responsive. The projector will even recognize games consoles and adjust accordingly with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode).

Hands-free Voice remote

You can conveniently speak out to your Hisense TV remote at a distance of up to 3 meters or alternatively by pressing the voice command button.

Built-in speakers

Many projectors require a separate audio system even for just casual TV-viewing because their audio capabilities are so limited. This Hisense projector has a built-in audio system with Dolby® decoding, a pair of full-range top-firing speakers, and 30 watts of amplification.

Of course, if you would like to upgrade the sound you can easily connect a separate soundbar or surround sound system thanks to the HDMI ARC/eARC and digital optical ports.

Simple setup

The projector's ultra-short throw design saves you the trouble of mounting it on the ceiling or running cables across your room. It's easy to fit into most rooms — just place the projector on a low table right under your screen and you're ready to go.

The PL1 also makes finding the right spot and aligning your image easy with an auto-calibration feature. If you would rather manually adjust the focus you can do that, too, with built-in controls on the remote. No need to walk up to the projector to adjust a focus wheel: you can make adjustments from the

Versatile connectivity

The PL1 has two HDMI ports that can be used for connecting additional sources like a Blu-ray player, games console, or surround sound system. HDMI port 2 is compatible with enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), letting you pass immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos®. There are also two USB ports on the projector. These let you plug in flash drives or USB hard drives loaded with music or videos.

Designed for longevity

The laser light source of the PL1 offers 25,000+ hours of entertainment. That’s over 10,000 movies, or over 18 years if you were to watch for 4 hours every single day.

With its clean, punchy and solid image, the Hisense PL1 is a gem at this price. Undercutting many of its UST rivals and even its own Hisense siblings, it's a TV alternative that actually lives up to its promise. You’d be hard-pressed to find a 100-inch TV for this price, let alone one that features such a punchy and crisp image. While we wish it had a couple more HDMI ports, it’s a compromise we’re willing to make, as its picture performance more than makes up for it.
