Ultra Short Throw projectors have become very popular suddenly and we suspect that it is going to become a trend. Prices are still relatively high but the quality has improved enormously and consumers are starting to see the advantages; very easy to install, large image size, and very watchable image in a room with ambient light. Combine a high quality UST projector with an ALR screen and you have a 100″+ home theater system for a lot less money than a 4K HDTV of comparable size. The Hisense L9G TriChroma Laser TV system looks like a compelling new option.
Hisense has introduced an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector and screen combo in either 100-inch or 120-screen sizes. The new Hisense L9G TriChroma Laser TV offers 4K resolution, 3000 Lumen and claims to achieve 107% of the BT.2020 color space.
The Hisense L9G TriChroma Laser TV also comes with a choice of two screen types to remove the guesswork and extra expense around finding the right companion to the projector. For those looking to build a dedicated home theater, the L9G with ALR Cinema Screen achieves exceptional color accuracy with wide viewing angles.
For others whose interest is in displacing their main TV in a bright, airy living room, the L9G with ALR Daylight Screen may be the better option, as this screen configuration offers increased brightness and ambient light rejection capabilities for viewing in brighter surroundings. For the 100” size consumers can choose the screen that best fits their space and intended usage. The 120” model only comes with the ALR Cinema Screen.
“The trend in bigger TV screens at home continues to grow, and Laser TV is a compelling solution, with its super-bright 4K laser projection, massive screen, and smart TV features,” says Ken Welty, Director of Laser TV at Hisense USA. “Hisense introduced its first ultra short throw Laser TV in 2014 and has always understood its potential. So with each model release we’re raising the bar and growing the category – improving picture quality, delivering better features, and making big screen laser projection accessible to everyone.”
The Hisense L9G TriChroma Laser TV is equipped with the Android TV platform so viewers can choose from more than 5,000 apps and games including Hulu, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max and much more.
Android TV also comes with built-in Google Assistant, so consumers can use the voice remote to quickly search and find what they would like to watch. The L9G also works with Alexa and comes Control4 certified so it can easily integrate with other smart home IoT devices and control systems.
Premium features such as 40W Dolby Atmos® sound, High-Speed HDMI, HDR10/HLG, Filmmaker Mode, and WiSA Ready make the L9G a truly modern option for your next big screen upgrade.
