When you buy a 4K ultra short throw projector, you're getting a state of the art entertainment system capable of performing beautifully in even well lit rooms. This helps make these Laser TVs the perfect big screen television upgrade. Getting a 100 inch flatscreen would cost so much more than a UST projector. Ultra short throws get their name because they sit directly under the projector screen giveing you a bright and colorfull image in just about any lighting condition.
With so many to choose from, the question is, which ultra short throw is the best one for you to purchase? Our projection experts can help you decide between two of them with this UST projector shootout.
Hisense is known for producing outstanding laser TVs. So much so that they coined the term laser TV. As their flagship model,the Hisense L9G lit up the UST market with their triple laser design, offering bright colors and solid contrast at a more affordable price than the other models like the Samsung LSP9T. This laser TV has a fixed focus and comes bundled with either a 100 inch or 120 inch UST projector screen. This makes the Hisense L9G a tremendous value since you don't need to pay for a seperate screen.
The Hisense PX1-Pro is a deviation from their other units as it features a variable focus, allowing you to choose what size screen to pair it with. Like their other triple laser projectors, the PX1-Pro is a true RGB laser projectors with bright vivid colors and buttery smooth motion handling. Unlike the their other triple laser UST, the L9G which is designed for more well lit rooms such as a livingroom, the PX1-Pro is built as more of a home theater projector.
