Discounted ultra short-throw projectors from Hisense: Which model suits your needs best?
When it comes to choosing between the Hisense PL2 and PX3-Pro projectors for watching films and TV shows, your decision largely depends on your budget and preferences in brightness and contrast.
Brightness
The PX3-Pro boasts a brighter picture performance with a claimed maximum brightness of 3000 lumens, making it an excellent choice for rooms with more ambient light. In contrast, the PL2 offers a bright and balanced picture performance with a claimed maximum brightness of 2700 lumens [1].
Contrast and Image Quality
The PX3-Pro slightly outperforms the PL2 in contrast, offering better handling of dark scenes and a more refined picture. Both models deliver balanced, detailed images with solid dark detail and excellent HDR support (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision) [1][3].
Price
The PL2 is significantly less expensive, around £700 less than the PX3-Pro, making it an excellent value for home cinema users who want remarkable image quality without paying a premium. The PX3-Pro, positioned as a higher-end model, also includes gaming-oriented features such as HDMI 2.1 supporting 4K/120Hz, appealing primarily to gamers [1][3].
Additional Features
The PL2 features X-Fusion Laser Technology and can project a 4K image up to 150 inches with a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz. On the other hand, the PX3-Pro features a Trichroma RGB laser light system and can project a 4K image with a refresh rate of 120Hz when connected to an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 [1].
Recommendations
For dedicated cinephiles or general TV/movie watchers on a budget, the PL2 offers strong performance. For bright rooms or mixed use including gaming, the PX3-Pro is superior but more costly. If you're strictly using the projector for films and TV shows, the Hisense PL2 is the recommended choice [1][3].
