Hisense PX4 Pro review: Perhaps just one software update away from true splendor

The Hisense PX4 Pro is a latest-generation ultra-short throw laser projector, priced at $4499, offering impressive 4K visuals from its RGB laser light source. The projector boasts an impressive brightness of 3500 ANSI lumens, and a compact size of 80-200 inches screen size that can be placed just a couple of inches away from the screen. It features a high contrast ratio, deep blacks and vivid colors, all thanks to its advanced optics and HDR support.

The PX4 Pro sports an updated design inspired by the L9Q series, now in a more elegant silver color, and includes three speakers for audio output. It comes with a multitude of connectivity options, including HDMI, USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 7, making it a versatile choice for various media consumption needs.

Performance-wise, the PX4 Pro offers a significant leap in contrast compared to its predecessor, PX3-Pro. Users can adjust the physical aperture to boost contrast in bright environments or close it down in dark rooms to achieve deeper blacks. The projector also offers zoom and lens shift, as well as optical iris technology to enhance contrast.

Although the projector is easy to set up, its extreme projection angle might require proper alignment to avoid image distortion. One minor drawback is the lack of a dust cover on the projector, which could leave dust and other debris on the glass when not in use.
