Ultra short throw projectors are a relatively new type of projector that sits directly under the screen instead of on the other side of the room. But which UST is the best for you? We'll answer that question as part of our ultra short throw projector shootout series. Let's see who wins this battle between the Samsung LSP7T and the Hisense PX1-Pro.
When Samsung entered the ultra short throw game with the Premiere line of projectors, they busted in with great fanfare thanks to the triple laser, LSP9T and it's little brother, the single laser, Samsung LSP7T. The Premiere LSP7T from Samsung is a lower price point laser TV that offers solid specs from a very well known home entertainment electronics brand.
Hisense is known for producing outstanding laser TVs. The newly released Hisense PX1-Pro is their latest ultra short throw projectors to hit the market. This UST projector is a true RGB triple laser projectors with bright vivid colors and buttery smooth motion handling. Unlike the their other triple laser UST, the Hisense L9G which is designed for more well lit rooms such as a livingroom, the PX1-Pro is built as more of a home theater projector.
