Verdict

The Hisense L9Q TriChroma is a premium 4K Ultra Short Throw (UST) laser projector featuring a triple-laser light engine that achieves a remarkable 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut and a peak brightness of 5,000 ANSI lumens. Designed as a high-performance 'Laser TV,' it utilizes a 0.18:1 throw ratio to project images up to 200 inches from just inches away, supporting HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and IMAX Enhanced formats with a 5,000:1 static contrast ratio. Notable pros include its exceptional brightness suitable for daytime viewing, Pantone-validated color accuracy, and an integrated 6.2.2-channel Devialet sound system with Dolby Atmos. However, cons include a high retail price near $6,000, potential for rainbow artifacts common to DLP chips, and limited gaming support for 4K at only 60Hz despite having HDMI 2.1 ports.
