C2 Pro 4K Lifestyle Projector (C2-PRO)

Another unit to think about is the Hisense C2 Pro (https://www.projectorscreen.com/products/hisense-c2-pro-4k-lifestyle-projector-124-smart-portable-rgb-laser-w-built-in-speakers-2600-lumens) the baby brother of the Hisense C2 Ultra. Wont be as bright as the XGIMI but the 3D is fully functioning and the software has been stable for well over a year now and fits right in your budget. It is also IMAX enhanced as well. Message me and we can figure it out for you!

If this is a permanent installation, look at home theater projectors, or lifestyle models designed to be easily ceiling mounted. A proper 5.1 audio installation with an AV receiver is a must, especially in a dedicated space with a home you actually own. Run wiring in the walls before you paint, and you will have a life long proper surround system. Avoid equipment at the front of the room if possible. Run HDMI to the projector and make it so you can swap out that HDMI cable. Wireless/screen mirroring is generally quite a lousy way to do anything. Use a wired device like an Apple TV or a Chromecast. If you're just streaming, consider a Roku or similar. The lifestyle models, as seen in the video, and as recommended with the X1 are decent solutions for sure, but are trickier to ceiling mount if they don't have a 3-point or 4-point mounting structure as is common with traditional projectors. Plus, they rarely have zoom and lens shift is almost unheard of. These are more common features on traditional projectors. But, the Hisense C2 Pro is a model with good zoom but terrible mounting. The Nexigo Trivision Ultra is well reviewed and has 4-point mounting which is nice for a ceiling setup. No zoom, no lens shift, so positioning must be very accurate for best results, as is common. Super easy to setup are models like the Epson 3800, but they are lamp-based and pretty much past their prime. A shame we haven't seen a laser version of those models yet. The BenQ X500i or X3100i are considerations as is the TK710 (or TK710STi) which are decent traditional models. High end starts around $5000 with Epson, Sony, and JVC models, all worthy in a good theater. Not sure what you're really hoping to spend here. A fixed frame screen from Silver Ticket is a excellent way to go.

You can get a Hisense C2 or the Nexigo Trivision Ultra and go with a traditional long throw setup. Placement of the projector needs to be pretty exacting. Then use a standard fixed frame screen in white or grey and call it done. Add a sound system and it's all together for under $3,000. $2,000 if you are careful in your shopping.

Hisense c2 its magic

Hi, I post an upgrade advise a few days before and I need to thank the guys who recommend me to buy blinded a Hisense C2 over an old Epson 4010 (I'm from another country). Just blow my mind when I test it out of the box then I update software and Now with some calibration just amazed me. Just Wowowow! The crispier 4k it’s real, the color gamut bt2020. All the tweaks that the projector allow you to do with the calibration settings. You can tweet it to near a native 3k:1 contrast and them the dinamic tone maping. Just blow out my mind . Thanks to the guys that recommend me to go to a new Tech. 0 laser speckle here on a silverticket mate whitte 1.1 gain. PD: the only downside it's cameras hate laser But i'm a photographer and manage to calibrate a little the picture tint on camera, because it add some purple tint color to Image. Just this photo can't justice the picture Quality than I see Now from this projector.

Hisense C2 And silverticket whitte matte screen for less than 2,000 . I'm very happy with thatane the best setup I had.

Too many units have this corner fuzzy errors on Epson 3800. Thats why was a no no for me and buyed the Hisense c2 that I fell on love since the first time I turn on and watched the Witcher 4 trailer on it.

We ended up getting the Hisense C2 Pro! Not quite up to the ultra but close enough. Set it up today and are extremely happy with it. However, looking on Amazon again it appears the ultra and the pro are the same price and $300 cheaper then what we bought it for earlier this week. Sooooo we may do a return and purchase an ultra tomorrow.

Hisense C2 Pro is excellent

worth noting some ppl report units with unbearable whiny noise issue, my unit included

How's the dimming in the pitch dark room, i.e. lowering laser luminance setting to zero, would the screen get dark or just perceivable 25% lower from the brightest setting? Had this issue with C2 pro where can't get brightness down considerably
