Hisense - PX1-PRO Laser Cinema

I purchased a hisense px1 pro a few years back. I have less than 1k hours on it and ive already lost the earc hdmi input. As well, the dmd chip has developed a white pixel, and it will intermittently shut itself off once every 30 to 40 hours of use. Been out of warranty for a minute. So willing to repair this when I have time and space, however: Trying to get ANY information from hisense to inform my own repair has been a complete waste of time. Even searching for what chip this projector uses has been a struggle. Anyway, there are many owners and reviews that would advocate hisense for a ust. I would struggle to throw my money at them again. Just my own exp.

10 years ago I was projector all the way. Today, with TV's getting as big as most people want the projected image to be, projectors are less relevant. Seriously, a good UST with an ALR screen combo can run you $3-5k for a 100 inch screen. More for larger screens. You can get a good 100 inch TV from costco for $2300 delivered, and it will be better in almost every way. I would not go with a projector today unless I was going well over 120 inches in size. I'm currently running a PX-1 PRO on a 120 inch screen, had it for about 3 years, and it already has dead pixels. When I am ready to replace it, I'm going with a 100 inch TV (or whatever I can get that week) over another projector.

Double your money and get a 2nd hand one on ebay. I was able to get a UST PX1 for like 1200 bucks

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.

If budget is critical, you get more features and gameplay w the laser dlp projection. Epson is a good company and they are built well, but having seen my daughter setup using Hisense pro, my thoughts of these cheaper projector has changed. That being said, I won’t give up my JVC nz800
