Hisense - C2 Pro Triple Laser Smart Mini Projector

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've had a similar Epson Beamer, but the noise it produces isn't suitable for us so we went for Hisense C2 instead - 2000 Lumen and 4k quality.

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.

I think your budget is too low. It's enough for a few of the absolute entry level quality models from BenQ or Epson (or similar), but not enough for their better models, which is what you will need for the sizes you are talking about. There are only about 40 projectors in production which can hit a 200" diagonal from 15' lens to screen...

The BenQ TK700STi is a decent choice, but it is lamp based. Still, refurb units come up all the time for well under $1,000. Great deal, but still over budget. A model like the Hisense C2 Pro is more in line with what you are chasing with a .9:1 - 1.5:1 throw ratio and a RGB laser light source with really solid reviews. This is the model to get. Only about $2,000 for that one. This is why what you are after is tough. You have a lot of requirements and not a lot of cash to get there.

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

Hisense C2 Pro is your best bet. Best color gamut coverage, low input lag, 2600 lumen. Check the reviews!

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!
