Hisense - C1 Laser Mini Projector

I would get the very well reviewed C1, but be aware, they are tough to position perfectly for a screen since they have no lens shift and no zoom. But, the fixed optics allows it to really deliver on image quality. So, that's where I'd lean.

The BenQ HT2060 is the newer version of the HT2050a, and is the best looking 1080p projector on the market. It is bright, and has a sharp image. It's great for home theater. The Hisense C1 is nice, but it has no zoom, so you must be very careful about how you place it in your room.

Nebula and Xgimi mogo2 are objectively worse than HT2050A. Horizon ultra gets much brighter, but the contrast is bad and black are really lifted. If horizon ultra is in your budget then I'd choose the refurbished hisense c1 over that. The improvement of HT2050A over the nebula or mogo2 is going to be much more dramatic than the improvement of c1 over HT2050A though.

i have a hisense c1 and seems to fit what youre looking for

Love mine, it's an excellent projector

\+1 for the Epson HC3800 (= EH-TW7100 here in Europe). Brightness is fine, noise is acceptable and for me the two most important factors are: large lens-shift range (I can shelf-mount the projector close to the top of the screen's height) and the 3LCD technology is completely free of the rainbow effect (as it turned out, I'm super sensitive to RBE: I got a headache after watching a show on the Hisense C1...) I bought and returned 3 other projectors this Christmas until I settled with this (BenQ W1800i: too noisy, Hisense C1: unbearable RBE, Epson HC3700: contrast was not enough for me - the 3800 is just slightly better but it's now in the acceptable range). https://preview.redd.it/d7e7z1jll1re1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3e5b5b141b0481ce25d12c38a9b34b708259b5b

I had/have the Benq w1070. It really is a great projector, I recently wanted to upgrade and first bought the Dangbei Mars pro, and honestly I didn't like the colors and everything. I think 4K is overrated. Then I bought the Hisense C1S (in my country it appears as Vidda C1S) so I thought it was worth the upgrade. But it's not like it's twice as good as the image.

Recently upgraded my upgrade of my upgrade.. In the past year and a half I’ve gone from a Dr.J $50 projector to a Wimius P64 “Which kicked started my actual joy for projectors” But it seemed to never properly auto focus or focus. Fast forward a year I bought a renew Epson EF12 “Which I still have” and it blew me away I thought ehh this will do for a long while.. Well then I got a nice Amazon gift card from work and.. Enter Hisense C1 after watching a million reviews naturally. Pros: Image quality Internal speakers/dolby atmos Autofocus/image adjustments The system interface is a pro and a con.. Cons: From time to time you’ll blink and get the ribbon or I assume ppl calll it the rainbow effect? VIDAA is good for Netflix and Disney plus but it’s limited on apps and seems more UK focused. Otherwise I’m thrilled with the projector! Hopefully I can stay away from wanting the C2 ultra when it drops.. 😂

Great, I’ve had mine for over a month now and loving it! Did you get audio passthrough to work over Earc? It doesn’t pass through Atmos full HD audio for me

👍👍 Btw- the c1 is a great projector but the c2 ultra blows this away, so start saving 😂

Check out the Hisense C1. Got mine a few months back. Did tons of research. Love it!

Now I feel my Vidda C1 Pro is useless :( , tech is progressing with speed of light
