Verdict

The Hisense PX1-PRO is a 4K Ultra-Short Throw (UST) projector featuring the TriChroma triple-laser engine, which delivers a peak brightness of 2,200 ANSI lumens and an exceptional 107% coverage of the BT.2020 color space. Key characteristics include its ability to project images from 90 to 130 inches with a motorized digital lens focus, support for Dolby Vision and HDR10, and a built-in 30W Dolby Atmos sound system. Major pros include its incredible color accuracy, sharp 4K resolution via XPR pixel-shifting, and integrated Android TV for easy streaming. However, notable cons include the lack of a native Netflix app, limited black level performance that can appear dark grey, and the absence of 3D support.
