Hisense - Laser TV PX3-PRO

The Hisense PX3-PRO is king right now. I'd get it if I could find a way to sell my LSP7T or LSP9T. Awol's reputation is... touchy; others here could elaborate better than I. LG... I've never heard anything bad about their line, but I've never heard anything stellar either.

PX3-PRO is the top dog right now at that budget. $3K would be a good price. Black Friday/CM is a month away though, I'd wait at this point. // Meanwhile, you're going to need to elevate the UST projector though. Sitting on that hearth will have part of the image hitting that fireplace...which I hope you never plan to use if you're going to have a UST and screen there. (I wouldn't chance it, ever). Also, the width of that space where the image would go... I feel like an 85" TV makes more sense there? It would be brighter than a UST for one, and it would do a good job of filling most of that space, for two.

PX3-Pro. It won the most recent UST Projector showdown put on by ProjectorScreen.com. It's roughly $3300ish.

HDMI 2.1, rated for Xbox, etc. I'd get it, but I don't need a third UST, hence me trying to sell my LSP7T.

Depends on your use case, the PX3-Pro still seems to be the best mixed use UST. Nexigo Aurora Pro mkii is best for dark rooms. If you don't need UST then you have more options (Valerian Max, Dangbei S7 ultra)

I had to add some shims under the base of my floor rising screen to fix the tilt. Then everything else was easier. One way or another I think you need to fix that first. I also have a PX3-Pro and Im loving it. You'll get there.

I am loving my PX3-Pro. I haven't really turned on my Bravia 9 since getting it. The picture aint that far off and surprisingly way better than i thought it would be.

Ive got a PX3-Pro with a 120" floor rising screen. Also a 85" Sony Bravia 9 in this room. I like having both and use them pretty equally. PX3 Pro rips by the way. Image quality is nearly as good as the Bravia 9.

A 132 inch Nothing Projector ALR/CLR screen combined with a good UST projector would be another option. ALR screens with UST's reject a ton of environmental light and focus the light back towards the viewers, and with an UST the projector would be right next to the screen so nobody would be walking through the projected image. Your Formovie Theater Premium, your PX3-Pro, etc. Long throw is great for dedicated theater rooms but in more mixed use spaces you come up against the fact that any light in the room severely degrades the experience and you need to paint the room black to compensate for spill light (even though the Slate is ALR it's kind of ALR light and not remotey as effective at light rejection as UST, because UST shines the light from a very specific point below the screen). Just thought I'd float the idea to consider at least. Oh, and you can get 150 inch ALR screens for UST's but they're super expensive ($5k, which I consider expensive for a screen personally; perhaps not for a $40k budget guy) and they all have a seam, the largest seamless one I know is that 132. This would also lower your purchasing cost by a noticeable amount. I mean... a factor of four. Image-quality wise, modern UST's can compete with just about any long throw and beat some. Installation is both easier and harder (figuring out where to put the center speaker and such) but they do make cabinets specifically for nice looking installs with motorized shelves for the projector; internet image search: https://duckduckgo.com/?&q=ust+projector+cabinets&iax=images&ia=images - though they may be made for either 100 or 120 inches specifically. Salamander makes variants with the projector sunk into the cabinet itself, like https://www.salamanderdesigns.com/formovie-theater/ But sure, a QL3000 and a Slate screen would be pretty freaking spectacular I'm sure. I don't think the QB1000 makes sense. It's too expensive. At those prices you could be looking at JVC's LCoS (D-ILA) models and get considerably better picture quality than 3LCD, too. The LS12000 is more sensible and very comparable to the QB1000. All just one guy's opinions naturally.

The top of the line JVC projector is pretty good value for money. I mean, sure, it's $30000, but still great value for money if you're rich. And what I mean by that is state your darn budget... If you plan to go all in and start playing with anamorphic lenses for 2.35:1 and installing a MadVR processor then you want a long throw projector to accommodate that use case, but there's a lot to be said these days for UST projectors as well, the ALR screens really help, even in a darkened room. They're also silent (well, quiet) since they're expected to be in the room with you. Long throw projectors should ideally be in another room with a hole hacked in the wall for the lens. I personally qustion the wisdom of putting a device with fans literally over your head when watching a movie now that options exist. You'd have to pay a pretty big chunk of change to beat the image from a Hisense PX3 UST and, say, a 132 inch Nothing Projector ALR screen, or some other screen like Spectra Vision or similar that does cost more. Or the Nexigo Aurora Pro projector, that's still by all accounts the champ of dark room viewing and is in the $2000 ballpark (without screen). There's a pre-order opportunity for the Aurora Pro MK 2 that will sell for $1999 on pre-order, but that's still a few months out from shipping and of course there's some risk it won't be great (but honestly, I personally expect it to become the best UST on the market based on specs and what info is out here).

AWOL 3500 is bright but has atrocious black level. Avoid imo. Hisense great. LG is old shit, it's not worth the money, I believe its RBE is reportedly also bad. Formovie Theater Premium, top notch, like the PX3 Pro. Another option not listed: Nexigo Aurora Pro, has the best black level vs these and is great for dark room viewing, should be gettable for about 2 grand, not sure of exact price now. But, Aurora Pro Mk2 is in pre-order for $2299 if you want to roll the dice, they added features that on paper should make it superb. On paper. Sight unseen. Thus, "roll the dice". Whichever one you get *you need a proper ALR screen* and those are maybe a thousand bucks for a 120 inch, and I think Nothing Projector has a 132 inch for under 2 grand. A motorized floor rising from Spectra Vision, Vividstorm or similar is in the $2 grand ballpark for a 120.

Actually, it was easily beaten by both the PX3 Pro and the Nexigo Aurora Pro MKII in the comparo The Hook Up did.

Px3-pro for sure if you’re looking for UST projector

I really love my Hisense Px3-Pro - I just wish it could power my Denon receiver on and off like my old Optoma could.

PX3 Pro here with an ALR 120-inch screen. Zero regrets. It's been the best thing I've had over the last year. I would instantly get another one if for some reason it died on me, though I did buy it with a multi-year warranty from the projector people.

I meant to add: mine is in a living room with several windows around it, though none are directly on it. And it is more than bright enough. We have no problems watching in the middle of the day.

i have the px3 pro and it is amazing. The onboard speakers are great. It has so many apps, you won't need a streaming stick. I have geforce now on it and am running moonlight/sunlight for games from my PC. 120 inch ALR screen and it works in the daytime with some light comign in. GLORIOUS when shades are drawn/nighttime. Edit: Upgraded from a 5040 UB - lightyears better

No regrets I got a 77 in OLED and its great but when I made my theatre room it blew it out of the fucking water. The sheer size at 120 inches is amazing. Even in the day time (I dont have curtains yet for in there) it is great but you have to do your research on screens dont cheap out. I got a hisense Pro x3 and its great quality and low latency for video games. I will never go back to TV

I have the PX2 and very happy with it. The PX3 is only going to be better. 

I have two of these and they actually suck. Lots of laser specle and migraine inducing rainbow effects. Luckily I found a buyer for one of them. 

Px3-pro is great but if you are coming from oled i would recommend Nexigo aurora mk II pro instead. You'll loose some brightness but get a way better contrast that is closer to oled then the hisense.

Hey bro, got the hisense px3 pro and I love it:) not sure how to do 240 hz yet but everything is almost identical to my oled monitor (colors and black levels are insane) but honestly don't over think your choice as you'll be happy with which ever projector you go with! Most importantly just go with what you can afford. If you don't like it, you can always return it!

Hisense PX3 Pro! Love mine

Personally if I was poking at AWOL 3500 Pro price range, I'd rather buy a Hisense PX-3 with a 2 year warranty (and buy it with CitiDouble Cash card to double the warranty). For daytime viewing, you'll need an ALR screen regardless.

PX3 Pro from Hisense, best bang for your buck imo

I got the Vividstorm UST ALR 150 inch floor rising screen with Hisense PX3 pro. Now getting a custom cabinet made for this. Let me know if you have any questions.

See my recent post in this sub - [https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/1ju2q7p/using\_px3pro\_with\_100\_inch\_fresnel\_alr\_screen\_in/](https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/1ju2q7p/using_px3pro_with_100_inch_fresnel_alr_screen_in/) I went for Hisense PX3-Pro UST and 100" Fresnel ALR screen. To be honest, my intent was not to substitute a TV, but rather expand the possibilities of projector. The primary use-case is still watching movies (or series), and I wanted an option to do that outside of very dark conditions. The result is totally satisfying for me for most cases. Except for direct sunlight the picture is perfectly watchable, and with reasonable ambient light it's very good (nice colors, enough brightness). For sports or TV channels the picture itself would be brighter due to the content type, as movies are generally "darker". So picture wise I think UST projector for ALR screen may work. Cases where I would consider TV vs projector 1 - no love for projected image (it's different, less sharp, no individual pixels, etc.) 2 - want perfect blacks and can go with an OLED (e.g. 83" is enough or have plenty of money for 97") 3 - frequent gaming (support for high refresh rates, etc.), but I don't believe serious gamers use 100", and for casual gaming it shouldn't be critical 4 - physical activity near the screen ;) kids running or playing switch sports, etc. (and one shouldn't look into the laser) 5 - TV needs less "care" generally - ALR screens are relatively more gentle 6 - decent TV could still be brighter with whatever outstanding nits that high TV models advertise

Currently, the px3-pro. If you liked the l9h, the px3-pro is much better.

Thank you very much for shopping with us. The px3-pro is a killer projector and you will no doubt love it!

You are better off going right to the hisense px3-pro; a much better projector for close to half the price of the lpu9d: https://www.projectorscreen.com/blog/2024-ust-projector-showdown-ultra-short-throw-projector-shootout

Hisense l9g won’t be out until the summer but will be a great UST. the px3-pro outright now is a great choice. The new ALLM update for Formovie premium coming shortly as well.

If you are looking specifically to spend over $5k, then yes, it is the best UST at that price point. Is it the "best" projector for your specific case? That is another question. Specifically speaking about UST; the L9Q is ideal in a bright room where all of the horsepower that it produces is needed, however for viewing in a traditional theater environment where the extra brightness is not needed and you may be chasing a lower black floor, the the Hisense PX3-PRO is an extremely versatile machine that is a happy medium. We're hosting the 2025 UST Showdown on 11/8/25 and the L9Q, PX3-Pro and several others that have been/will be mentioned will all be put up against the L9Q with its latest firmware being released early next week. When speaking about "any" projector over $5,000 - the answer is no. Not because the L9Q is a bad projector, but there are many much more premium and expensive options available above that price point.

Hisense px3-pro for an all around UST in both dark and light environments.

The Hisense will have more vibrant colors because it’s triple laser but will also have some rainbow effect and laser speckle; but not everyone is bothered by those things. Both are super solid options, so it may come down to where you would rather have the projector “mounted” in your room. I have both of these in our showroom And happy to get into more details/questions about them and help you decide which may be best for you; feel free to DM me

As echoed here by many others, the px3-pro beats the awol is everyday and less money. The Epson for those susceptible to rainbow effect and sensitive to laser speckle, the Epson has neither. I have all three at our showroom; happy to get into details about them or any other options; DM me if interested.

Nice setup already! Since you're gaming a lot, I'd prioritize low input lag and 120Hz support especially for Xbox and PS5. The Formovie Theater and PX3 Pro are great for colors and contrast, but the LG HU915QE might edge out slightly on brightness. Waiting on the L9Q could be smart if you're not in a rush it might bring upgrades without a big price jump.

PX3 is a great unit, I play CoD on it most nights at 130" - only caveat is that I don't have the PX3 pro, as it wasn't/isn't available where I live in Australia. 

I used to love my LG OLED, watched lots of movies there. Then, moved to my first 1080p projector in 100 inches, my first impression was on screen size, it looked amazing. Now I have a 4K 3D Laser projector (Hisense PX-3 Pro) and couldn't be happier. Everything looks spectacular in 4K Dolby Vision/3D 110 inch screen, even gaming (Nintendo Switch 2). I would recommend to buy a cheap one, just to know if it's your thing. But in my experience, I preffer a giant screen instead of perfect black on 55 inch OLED.

One is a long throw the other is UST. Depends on the room you're using and if you can accommodate a long throw projector. These are both very different. I have the PX3 pro and love it! I've been using it intensely in my living room. I live in a corner unit with windows from floor to ceiling with black out drapes. With the drapes open the picture is mostly washed out. I can still see the picture but it's not worth watching at that point. For this reason I keep my drapes closed. Kind of defeats the beauty of having wrap around tall windows with a view. Total blacked out theater room, you'd be fine with either. I would look in to set up, features, etc before I pulled the trigger. Good luck

I have the space as well but chose to use UST. I have a Spectra Vantage 120" ALR/CLR screen. I originally chose a Nothing projector alr but it was flimsy and bowed in the middle terribly. My walls are flat as I live in a newly renovated apartment. After reading on line and following the hook up on YouTube and watching several of his videos on the subject I chose the px3 and switched to the spectra combination. I think he has videos on long throw as well. You should check him out. Worth giving a follow.

Yea exactly. I personally didn't really ever have a problem with black levels until I started reading about them and realized that even in my 82" Samsung that I was never really happy with the black levels and how shitty they looked at times. After making adjustments on the Samsung and the source video being one of the main culprits it became wildly important when purchasing my first projector. So far i am very happy with my purchase and use the best source video I can find at the moment. For context I use an android box but mainly I use an Apple tv 4k. I have everything I want to watch and can entertain people with zero issues. I also use gamepass on my ATV and it's perfect for gaming. Also just an FYI the hisense px3 pro is the first projector to have an Xbox affiliation of any kind endorsed on it. I don't have a console but was going to buy one to use for both gaming and bluray media.

I like the picture on our PX3 Pro, but there are some issues with audio on the eARC port and how it interacts with my Nakamichi sound system. As long as I feed the source signals directly into the soundbar and only video to the PX3, it works fine.

The PX3 Pro has a gamer mode and is X Box certified.

Gaming on my Hisense PX3 Pro with the CRL 3 100-inch screen isn't just gaming—it's an experience. I could never go back to playing on a regular TV.

It depends on your budget. For a $1K price, it’s considered good with limitations: - day light viewing, absolutely no. - Night time with ambient light, decent at a 70inch projection size, 100inch a little bit dark to my liking. - Dark room no problem on brightness even at 100 inch but not my preference cause my eyes are strained. - 1080p resolution, texts are less sharp, picture still acceptable but you will lose some detail compared to 4K. - Flexibility, at battery mode the picture is less bright, still decent but I prefer the brightest setting, so it is plugged in all the time If you want really good one, then you need to spend really more, could easily set you back $5K to $8K easily. I visited the Hisense show room for PX3 pro ($5K) with a 120 inch roll up screen ($3K), picture quality, size and resolution all nice. But I still ended up buying this cause it fits my family requirement where we trying to cut down our screen time yet with decent viewing experience Note projector screen can also be a problem if you have ceiling fan/with opened windows as your screen will be having waves from wind. If you opt for no screen, picture quality is significantly reduced especially for ultra short throw projector and the unevenness of the wall will be more obvious. Get the long throw version if you have limited budget but lower your expectations on picture quality. Other than that, be aware of how huge your house can project. Previously I was tempted to buy one that can project 120 inch but eventually i realised there isn’t much space to keep the sofa distance from wall for a comfortable viewing distance. Honestly, if you watch frequently, getting a TV is still a better value purchase. E.g a 65 inch Sony X90L is only $2.5K but have really good picture.

PX3-Pro best balance, Nexigo MKll if you want the best blacks & Awol 3500 if you want a light canon

Seconding the px3 pro. Unbelievable. I have six marine windows blaring right on the screen along with one huge skylight and I can still watch sports no problem with minimal contrast loss. Games are super smooth. I do have an alr screen. Upgraded from a benq long throw. Is your floor sloping? I did have to use a bit of the keystone correction to get it dialed in on my 100” frame screen

Hisense px3 pro. I have same setup in basement and it's great even with lights on. https://preview.redd.it/tcw3ql5r81zf1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dbd84634cdc4a4306c959079331d815ba339fef

If you want a 110” screen the px3 pro bundle from Costco Mexico is hard to beat even with shipping to the US https://www.costco.com.mx/Electronicos/Pantallas-y-Proyectores/65-pulgadas-y-Mas/Hisense-Laser-TV-110-UHD/p/688569

Id go for a Lasertv —> ust like formovie Theater premium BUT prefer Hisense px 3 pro, Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 Id go for one of them. Personaly im using actually using epson 5050ub in living room 120“ and laserTv (formovie theater) in mencave 120“

I have a PX3 pro. It’s quite a large unit, but built a cabinet for it and it hides completely. I project onto a massive 145” (diag) wall. Your 5 foot screen is not that large. That’s only 70 inches diagonal. Why a projector over a nice OLED tv?

Thanks for your recommendations! I now did my research based on these recommendations and I think it should be a UST projector with a (CLR) screen. Right now I tend to buy the Hisense PL2 because it only has one laser! It is not subject to the laser speckle problem and from what I saw it produces more realistic colors and contrast, right? Compared to e.g., the Hisense PX3 Pro, which "pops" too much for my liking. I am the kind of guy who uses the "Cinema" setting all the time on a LG OLED TV currently, which surpesses colors and makes it more "real". So that is that. Any other suggestions on UST projectors that are bright enough, have Dolby Vision, HDR10, and produce realistic colors in the league as the Hisense PL2? It seems to me that it is also quite a price/performance winner there for under 2k. Then for the screen I watched multiple videos, from CLR to Fresnel(?) to then a mix of both. And I think the "Celexon BrightOnyx", which is kind of a mix, seems to combine almost the best of both worlds, would you agree? This one is also a 100", which I think is perfect for now, as you also suggested. It is also not that sensitive as the classic CLR screens because of a different structure and can be carefully rolled to move in the future.

Also that cabinet is going to shorten the life of your projector. It seems like it's blocking the side vents. On my Hisense UST the manual says to allow like 8" inches of airflow on each side.
