The Hisense PL1 brings together the best of projector and Smart TV in one, easy to use device. As an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector, it can be placed just centimetres from the screen, with a selectable image size of between 80 – 120 inches. VIDAA U6 ensures all the Smarts you need are onboard, while intuitive voice control further enhances its appeal. Add in the comprehensive range of sockets and effortless setup and you’ve got everything you need for hassle-free big-screen TV.
Laser technology for pure colour and long life
Using X-Fusion laser technology, this Hisense projector delivers the perfect blend of pure colour and long life. The blue laser light delivers natural colour and clean, sharp images. With brightness at 2100 lumens, you also get excellent colour definition, even when the room is less than pitch-dark. Rated at over 25,000 hours, the life expectancy should provide many years of enjoyment – even when used every day.
Pioneering HDR10+ and Dolby Vision technologies
Still far from universal on TVs and very rare on projectors, the Hisense PL1 features both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Both of these technologies take HDR to the next level by analysing the picture on a metadata basis, giving you picture optimisation in real time. What this means is optimal picture detail, even within the darkest sections of the image. Spin a Dolby Vision or HDR10+ movie or game and be prepared to be blown away by just how much depth and detail the picture has.
See the director’s view, with Filmmaker Mode
Movies look more immersive than ever on a big screen, so what better way to see them than with Filmmaker Mode. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the projector’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.
Ideal for big screen gaming
When connecting a games console to the PL1 via HDMI, Game Mode is automatically activated. Featuring ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), you get the lowest level of lag for super-fast responsiveness and game play.
Choose a screen size that suits you, 80” – 120”
Unlike any TV, the Hisense PL1 adjusts the screen size to suit your room and preferences. Choose between 80 to 120 inch screen projection, for the best fit in your room. Ideally matched with an optional ALR screen, the great advantage with a projector is that, should you move home and have more/less space, you just need to change the screen rather than the whole TV.
Dolby Atmos compatible speaker system
With its built-in, Dolby Atmos compatible speaker system, the PL1 easily matches most TVs for sound quality. Upgrading the sound is just as easy as with a TV, too. Simply use the HDMI eARC or optical digital outputs to connect to your choice of soundbar or AV system.
Smart TV made easy, with VIDAA U 6.0
The latest version of Hisense’s VIDAA OS makes Smart TV better than ever. The intuitive launcher offers a custom display of the apps you use most. Content discovery previews recommendations of the latest shows and movies from the selected app. There’s also one-touch, direct access to the most popular apps - Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and more - all at the touch of a button.
Voice control
For effortless voice control, this Hisense projector has Alexa and VIDAA voice command technologies built-in. Simply speak your command to the remote by pressing the voice command button.
Auto Geometric Calibration for easy setup
You don’t need to be a pro to get the best picture from the PL1. Thanks to Auto Geometric Calibration, the projector’s intelligent software automatically aligns the screen and image – giving distortion-free images at the touch of a button.
Complete connectivity
Fitted with twin, HDMI 2.1 ports, the PL1 is ready for your UHD Blu-ray player and games console. One of the ports is also compatible with eARC, letting you seamlessly connect to a new generation soundbar. Add in analogue (headphone) and optical digital audio outputs and you’ve everything you need from a home cinema projector.
Scale up your movie, sports and gaming experience, with the Hisense PL1.
