TechRadar Verdict
The Hisense PX2 Pro is an excellent successor to the PX1 Pro.
The projector doesnt come paired with a screen like Hisenses Laser TV models.
This compact UST projector would look right at home next to a record player.
The PX2-Pro has cover glass, but no sliding cover that can prevent dust and pet hair in the air from gathering
Focus is managed electronically, which is functional, though not as convenient as a manual focus dial.
Another disappointing omission is any real cover for the optics.
Tucked away into this slick little number is a machine with ample capabilities.
Dolby Vision HDR is supported by the PX2-Pro
If you dont plan to use eARC, you also get optical and 3.5mm analog audio outputs as options.
Theres a high-speed USB port for powering streaming sticks or connecting external media storage.
The Hisense PX2-Pro also has capable brains with Google TV smart TV interface built in for US models.
The included remote control has a direct input button for the Netflix streaming app
It appears Hisense has started to break down the walls some streaming services curiously had up against smart projectors.
Navigating the options menus and pulling up streaming content is quick.
This new model just upgrades that with a bit more brightness, which makes it more watchable than ever.
Hisenses projector blasts a sharp picture that comfortably stretches up to 130 inches.
At that size, 4K really starts to make sense, and it doesnt come up lacking for clarity.
The picture is one thing, but the sound is another.
Theres just not enough here to shake your bones.
They also hardly muster reasonable stereo separation, so the promise of Dolby Atmos is a flat one.
Plan to pair this projector with a cheap soundbar at a bare minimum.
Its got a great picture and is reasonably versatile.
Should I buy the Hisense PX-2 Pro?
Also, its 40W sound system is a beast in its own right.Here’s our fullHisense L9G review.
Epson LS800The Epson LS800 uses a 3LCD laser light source to beam a stunningly bright 4,000 lumens image.
Xgimi AuraThe Xgimi Aura is slightly less expensive than the Hisense PX2-Pro and has about the same brightness.
The projector was tested both against a bare, white wall and anAkia Screens CineWhite screen.
It was presented with streamed content, HDR and non-HDR, and console gameplay.
I have been testing projectors since 2021 and displays for even longer.
