"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."
"Extremely quiet compared to our last one to the point where we can have it running while my partner is in work meetings (besides emptying water and dust bin, but that is 10 seconds of loud x 2)."
"pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps"

"Used it outdoors for movie night with the kids and it was still amazing."
"The C2 Ultra has better color due to triple laser ... triple laser is as close you’ll get to OLED like color quality. ... Color gamut coverage, contrast level, it’s beating every BenQ product to be honest."
"The image itself literally made my jaw drop. ... But, the second the image popped on screen, it was like I hadn't experienced color before. Imagine Dorothy walking out of her black and white house into the Technicolor land of Oz. Seriously, the colors were so deep and pure, I couldn't look away and all I was staring at was the menu. :) ... I rushed to turn on Planet Earth in 4K Dolby Vision and was completely blown away."

"The C2 Ultra has the best sound of any projector with its built in sub. You will not be disappointed!"
"and sound. I use the built in speaker more than my AVR because it doesn't drive everyone in the house insane, and its more than adequate."
"great speaker with sub built in"

"It is much quieter than the C2, which is a priority in our bedroom because it is right above our heads. ... If the C2 had been quiet, I think I would have chosen it and tried to calibrate it to get the image I like."
"that fan is way too loud for me"
"super cheap, OK for testing, but noisy and low resolution."

"An ALR screen makes speckle 10 times worse so I would never use ALR with a triple laser projector."
"If I stand with projectors, it won't be a laser one because 1/ the speckle 2/ the rainbow effects... ... I'm sensitive to the RBE and see a lot of these with laser projectors. ... I've been to a demo of the Hisense C2 Ultra and I got an headache after half an hour in addition to the RBE. So I think these kind of projectors are definitely not for me."
"I purchased the C2 and returned it due to a large amount of laser speckle"

"I purchased the C2 and returned it due to a large amount of laser speckle and DLP rainbow effect."
"The LS12000 has over 2x the native contrast of the Valerion. ... The native is not meaningless, that's silly. Native CR is the foundation of the entire image capability. Dynamic CR doesn’t always work or help and it can also cause artifacts and issues like clipping and brightness jumps. Some scenes it improves greatly, some only a small amount, and some not at all. It all depends on the composition of the particular scene. Native still always limits simultaneous on screen contrast for an given image. ... There are scenes that look better on the LS12000 due to the noticeably higher native CR."
"however at 14 feet the screen is closer to 150 inches and it has to use digital zoom etc to fit the screen but aren't we losing quality this way?? ... If you move it to 14 feet and use digital zoom to have the 120" the projector is less bright and will have less contrast because the further away it is the further th laser needs to cast"

"I have a love hate with my c2.. some times I'm in aw by it, and other times I wanna throw it out the window, but its almost all software related issues.. like on tvs, where one setting disables another and doesn't say which one, and its a never ending quest to figure it out. (Just disable everything and youre usually good)."
"I do agree the software sucks"
"its software leaves a little to be desired for me."

"This is a new product so the reviews and technical advice is low right now but I want/need someone to walk through all the settings and let me know which is best for specific scenarios. ... It feels like when you change one setting, it can affect another so there is so much trial and error that it's hard to know what to change. ... An in-depth how to video would be amazing for this device so I know all it's capable of and how to change things to fit my needs. ... it would be nice if there was a hand-holding set up feature similar to the one on Denon Receivers where it asks questions about your setup and takes you through it step by step. ... I had real problems with the eARC being activated when it didn't need to be and the video wouldn't show up etc. I was able to fix it but novices might get frustrated when simple things like plugging in an HDMI doesn't always work."
Hisense C2 Ultra all the way. I bought one last week and it's amazing. Used it outdoors for movie night with the kids and it was still amazing. Watch the video review from Tom's guides.
r/projectors • Which projector to buy for boyfriend ->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.
r/projectors • W2720i vs TK710 vs X3100i for my first projector? ->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.
r/projectors • Don’t buy ewaste, listen to these guys, VGA to usb c iPad a16 on a painted textured wall ->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.
r/projectors • Cheaper alternatives? ->You will need to consider audio in the room as projectors don't do audio really well. Many lifestyle laser projectors don't have any optical zoom, which will limit your size/placement options. For example, the Nexigo Trivision Ultra has a fixed 1.27:1 lens. For a 92" diagonal, the lens much be 8.5 feet from the screen. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/NexiGo-TriVision\_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/NexiGo-TriVision_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm) The Hisense C2 has a .9-1.5:1 optical zoom lens. This gives you a ton more flexibility in placement so you can get a 92" screen or a 100" screen or even a 110" screen from the back of the room using optical zoom. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/Hisense-C2\_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc](https://www.projectorcentral.com/Hisense-C2_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc) The lens of these projectors needs to be aligned to the top edge of the screen. These models do have HDMI-ARC to backfeed audio to a sound bar or surround sound receiver. But, speakers need to be fully thought out prior to getting too much finished.
r/projectors • Help with my living room ->I tried the Valerion Plus 2 and found it too dim. I then tried the Hisense C2 Ultra and found it just right for my 120 inch screen.
r/projectors • Which projector to buy under $2500 ->I know you’re on a budget but I would try and get an open box C2 ultra. It’s significantly better than those.
r/projectors • Hisense C2 base model vs Nexigo trivision ultra? In this price range which should I pick? ->Having said this though and seeing my friends c2 ultra in person. It looks incredible. And I would have guessed true 4k if I hadn’t read about it. Picture quality is nuts.
r/projectors • Is a 4 K projector worth it? ->I mean sure but I got an open box C2 ultra for 2400$ CAD open box. And the pro2 is 4300$ I do think the Pro 2 is slightly better (but they are damn close on the whole) but that’s not worth 2000$ for me
r/projectors • Need Help Deciding on a Projector: Hisense C2 Ultra or Other Options? ->I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a Hisense C2 ultra on a 135” screen mostly at night and it’s pretty fucking amazing. Plus I have a paradigm 5.1 speaker setup with an AVR. It blows my mind every-time I start playing. I also play RL on it and honestly it’s not bad. I don’t really notice the input lag.
r/projectors • Gaming on a projector. Pros & cons? ->Hisense C2 And silverticket whitte matte screen for less than 2,000 . I'm very happy with thatane the best setup I had.
r/projectors • What is the best projector you have used this year? ->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.
r/projectors • Looking for new home theatre setup ->You wanna go new tech? Go tri-laser or laser phosphor. Hisense c2 ultra or Valerion vision pro 2 or Epson Laser phosphor LS12000. You won't regret it especially for gaming. Recently I finish Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on my Hisense c2 and was absolutly cinema.
r/projectors • Home Theater Upgrade Suggestions ->Feel free to join us at /r/HisenseC2Projector The C2 ultra is pretty good overall, picture is nice and bright. Native contrast is not great but that's it's main downfall. I am currently experiencing light bleed with mine, which Hisense says is normal, so if you decide on the ultra be sure to get a warranty through the retailer
r/projectors • Need Help Deciding on a Projector: Hisense C2 Ultra or Other Options? ->Just get nexigo ap mk2 with alr screen. Other ust to consider such as epson ls650, formovie theatre 2, xiaomi c2, hisense pl1. They all have low or no rbe / speckle issues. Valerion dimming ebl doesn't activate with subtitles, no iris and have speckle issues.
r/projectors • Nexigo Aurora vs Valerion Pro 2 vs Epson 4010 ->Hisense C2 Ultra and upcoming C3 are both cheaper options. The preliminary reviews for C3 said it has a similar EBL function. I don’t see Hisense pricing C3 at $ 2999.
r/projectors • Valerion Plus2 vs Pro1 vs Pro2, which one? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
