Hisense - C2 Pro Triple Laser Smart Mini Projector

I have the hisense C2 pro and have been very happy with it, 2k at crutchfield with 60 days to try it out.

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.

Hisense C2 Pro is excellent

I have the C2 pro and loving it. What country are you in?

C2 is amazing. I have the uktra and leave it on laser luminescent level 1 aha I upgraded from bulb benq w5700

Hey guys, new to the projector game and late to this thread. I just bought a C2 Pro as my first ever home projector. I have a question for the C2 owners. How is your experience with rainbow effect? Apparently I'm pretty sensitive to it because I borrowed an old led projector from a friend before this and it was pretty bad. Subtitles are borderline unusable because of the rbe. To my surprise, my C2 pro also has a looot of rainbow. Not just for me, also my partner and a friend saw it. On subtitles especially apparent but also in dark scenes with brighter content etc. What's your experience?

I went for the Hisense C2 Pro. First impressions are that you need some setting up to get a good colour accuracy, especially in SDR. HDR content is pretty amazing though, even with the built in picture modes. DV content looks especially beautiful. Cons: - Vidaa OS is meh. Netflix works great but for example Vidaa's Plex app is rubbish, won't play HDR content and there's no transcoding option. - For now at least, the laser luminance setting is grayed out in most picture modes for me, meaning that the projector is way too bright for my needs (80" screen, 3m viewing distance, dimmed living room). - I'm seeing a lot of persistent rainbow effect in subtitles and black-white high contrast content, it hasn't subsided over time for me as some users have noted. Getting a gray screen, hoping it will alleviate the rbe, otherwise probably will have to return/sell it.

I have the c2 pro purchased with a super offer for 1680 euros European version. It has 2600 lumens and dolby vision, HDR and iMax. Also dolby audio. The image is incredible and very bright. I think that the 3000 lumens of the c2 ultra is too much for a dark room and does not favor the contrast of the projector. I am very happy with my C2 Pro!!!

The C2 Pro imo is actually better than the C2 Ultra. It's considerably cheaper and has better black levels (due to being less bright!). The C2 Ultra is only better if you plan on using it mostly during daylight and if you really want an integrated subwoofer. I would recommend an external sound system anyway, so the Subwoofer is kinda unnecessary. Also look into the Benq w2720i, it is much more color accurate than either of these Hisense projectors and it doesn't have Laser frackle, which is much more pleasant to the eyes.

Hi, your setup looks awesome! I just got the Hisense C2 Pro, but I have this big rectangular 'halo' around my screen, and I don’t know why. I thought it was because my projector was too far from the screen, but after seeing your setup, I’m not so sure anymore. My projector is about 5m away, and my screen is 110 inches. Here’s the result—do you have any idea what could be causing this? Thank you so much in advance if you take the time to reply! You seem to know way more about projectors than I do! At first, it was massive, but after adjusting the zoom, I made it a bit smaller. It still looks weird to me, though.

Respectfully, I purchased the C2 and returned it due to a large amount of laser speckle and DLP rainbow effect. I'm in the market for a replacement but will most likely avoid laser projectors going forward.

I currently have both and I'm going to keep the N1S 4K.  It is much quieter than the C2, which is a priority in our bedroom because it is right above our heads. I find that the jmgo produces a more "cinematic" image, while the C2 produces a magnificent image that is closer to a television, but that's not what we're looking for. It's clear that the C2's image has more contrast, which is really beautiful. In a room with completely white walls, we use a motorised Nothingprojector Black Series screen. The fact that the JMGO is less bright is an advantage, but the C2 can also go quite low. For this type of projector to work with the ALR screen, we had to offset the video projector to avoid hot spots (we had a bright line that took up about 30% of the screen). I got the JMGO for 830€ and the C2 for 1300€. I am eagerly awaiting feedback on the Hisense M2 Pro, which will offer a real advantage with its optical zoom. We will see if it is quieter than the C2... If the C2 had been quiet, I think I would have chosen it and tried to calibrate it to get the image I like. It has more to offer!

The C2 is fine projector. My point is that your gripe could have been alleviated by asking a forum full of people with the projector which are not "paid advertisers" Valerians secret sauce is the software which to this point has not been matched.

Sorry about this. I own the c2. Had a xiaomi before and I was getting the rainbow effect severely. With the c2 I have to actively look for it and it’s only in very tiny spots of highlights or more noticeable when subtitles are on. if that’s your experience try changing the color of subs from white or knocking back the brightness, this thing gets pretty bright!

None of the above. Valerion is whitelabeled crap like its sister company AWOL. Get the Hisense C2/C3 series instead
