First Impressions
The Hisense PX3-PRO isnt meant to be portable as its quite heavy and lacks an integrated battery, so you need to plug it in. The projector has a feature for auto keystone correction, but it requires you to go through a few extra steps, such as scanning a QR code and uploading a picture of the projected image. Furthermore, it doesnt work well, so ultimately, youll most likely need to adjust the image geometry manually, and it also doesnt have autofocus.It doesnt have an adjustable stand, but it does have adjustable feet. It has a 50W Harman Kardon speaker system, so you won't need to worry about connecting it to a soundbar if you move it.The Hisense PX3-PRO uses a laser light source, which requires no maintenance and will last for 25,000 hours or more, according to the manufacturer. Its not a true 4k projector, as it uses pixel shifting to create a higher-resolution image. This offers better quality than a pure 1080p projector but isnt as good as a native 4k projector.It's an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector, so it can project a 90-inch image at a distance of 6.6 inches and up to a 130-inch image at a distance of 14.3 inches, which is significantly closer to the wall than its predecessor, theHisense PX1-PRO.

Viewing Experience | The Hisense PX3-PRO projector delivers impressive peak brightness, making it suitable for viewing in moderately lit environments while offering vibrant and punchy colors. Its uniformity is acceptable, with a slightly brighter center compared to the edges; however, this is unlikely to be a significant issue for most viewers. The projector excels in contrast, particularly in darker scenes, providing rich blacks for an enhanced viewing experience in dim settings. While its contrast performance may lessen in brighter scenes, it remains strong overall. Additionally, the projector boasts an extensive color gamut, effectively covering the Rec. 709 color space with only minor deviations, and performs nearly as well in the wider Rec. 2020 spectrum, although it shows slight undersaturation in some greens. Overall, the Hisense PX3-PRO is a solid choice for those seeking vibrant colors and good performance in various lighting conditions. |
