Hisense has officially launched the C1 TriChroma Laser Mini Projector in the United States and Europe, expanding its global reach after an earlier introduction in China. This innovative projector introduces a range of features, including the ability to project images between 65 and 300 inches, impressive brightness, built-in speakers, advanced compatibility, and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
The Hisense C1 Laser Projector has garnered attention with its impressive capabilities, offering an expansive projection range of up to 300 inches, making it the largest screen size currently offered by Hisense. With a 1.2:1 throw ratio, this portable projector allows users to enjoy a cinematic experience in various settings.
One of the standout features of the C1 projector is its exceptional brightness, boasting up to 1,600 ANSI lumens. This feature should ensure that the projected images are vivid and clear, even in well lit environments. Furthermore, the projector offers a striking contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, which should contribute to enhanced picture quality.
The C1 projector supports 4K UHD resolution and covers an impressive 110% of the BT.2020 color space, resulting in vibrant and true-to-life colors. It is compatible with a range of formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG, ensuring that it can handle a variety of content with finesse.
Setting up the projector is a breeze, thanks to its auto keystone and autofocus features, which Hisense aptly calls "Auto Magic AI adjustment." These tools help users achieve the perfect image alignment quickly and easily.
The C1 projector runs on Hisense's VIDAA Smart TV operating system, providing access to popular streaming platforms like Apple TV, Netflix, and Disney+. Additionally, users can cast content from their mobile devices using Miracast or Apple AirPlay. For those integrated into the Apple ecosystem, the projector is also compatible with Apple HomeKit, offering seamless connectivity.
Connectivity options on the C1 projector are diverse, with HDMI 2.1 (ALLM), HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, and audio-out ports. Furthermore, the device can be controlled using Amazon Alexa voice commands, adding a layer of convenience for users.
Additional features of the C1 projector include MEMC motion smoothing, built-in 20W speakers from JBL, which support Dolby Atmos for an immersive audio experience, and a 0.47” DMS chipset.
Despite its impressive capabilities, Hisense has designed the C1 projector with portability in mind. Measuring 9.7 x 7.1 x 8.5 inches and weighing 10.1 pounds, it's a versatile option for users seeking a flexible entertainment solution.
The Hisense C1 TriChroma Laser Mini Projector is now available for purchase at Amazon and other popular retailers, and it's priced at 1,997.97 in the US. UK customers can acquire this impressive projector for £2,199, while it retails for €1,999 in EU countries like Germany.
