Hisense 100L5H 4K Laser TV Review - Projector Reviews

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: October 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Hisense 100L5H DLT100C

  • High brightness (2,700 lumens) makes it watchable even in well-lit rooms with ambient light.
  • Comes bundled with a high-quality 100-inch Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen, offering great value.
  • Integrated 40W Dolby Atmos speakers provide sound quality superior to most standard TVs.
  • Excellent for gaming with low input lag (measured around 16ms to 25ms in game mode).
  • Ultra Short Throw (UST) design allows for a massive image while sitting only inches from the wall.
  • Includes a built-in TV tuner and smart features like Google TV, Dolby Vision, and AirPlay 2 support.

What customers don't like about Hisense 100L5H DLT100C

  • Black levels can appear as dark gray in completely dark rooms, lacking the deep contrast of OLED TVs.
  • The physical assembly and alignment of the fixed-frame screen can be time-consuming and finicky.
  • The Android TV/Google TV interface sometimes suffers from occasional lag or freezing.
  • Fixed focus lens means you cannot easily change the projection size beyond the intended 100 inches.
  • Built-in speakers may lack deep bass, though this can be supplemented with an external subwoofer.
  • The remote control lacks a backlight, making it difficult to use in dark viewing environments.

The Hisense 100L5H (DLT100C) is a 4K UHD ultra-short throw laser projector system that includes a dedicated 100-inch Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen to deliver a TV-like experience in varied lighting conditions. Key technical specifications include a brightness of 2,700 ANSI lumens, a native contrast ratio of 3000:1 (with a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast), and an X-Fusion laser light source with a 25,000-hour lifespan. Its main characteristics feature high compatibility with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG, alongside an integrated 40W Dolby Atmos audio system and the Google TV smart platform. Major pros include excellent colour accuracy covering 85% of the DCI-P3 gamut, a fast 0.25:1 throw ratio that requires just inches of distance from the wall, and high-speed HDMI 2.1 connectivity with eARC and ALLM for gaming. However, potential cons include the lack of 3D support, fixed focus that prevents upgrading to a larger screen size, and occasional reports of audible fan noise and interface lag.
