What's the difference between the Hisense PX2-Pro and PX1-Pro?
Ultra short throw projectors are cutting edge devices, designed to display a beautiful 4K resolution images on a cinema screen from just inches away. This makes them ideal for smaller spaces and home entertainment setups. With their sleek design and advanced technology they offer a bright, stunning picture, eliminate shadow interference and provide a truly cinematic experience right in the comfort of your own living room. USTs have revolutionized the way we experience visual content by bringing the projector out of the dark of a home theater and into the light of a living room.
However, some ultra short throw projectors are designed specifically for the more light controlled confines of a home cinema. The brand new Hisense PX2-Pro is one of these projectors.
Hisense PX1-Pro
Hisense is a manufacturer known for producing outstanding laser TVs. The Hisense PX1-Pro was one of their best selling ultra short throw projectors on the market. This UST projector was a true RGB triple laser projectors with bright vivid colors and buttery smooth motion handling. Unlike the their other triple laser UST, the Hisense L9H which is designed for more well lit rooms such as a living room, the PX1-Pro was built as more of a home theater projector. You can read our review of the Hisense PX1-Pro to get a better idea of this awesome projector.
Hisense PX2-Pro
Some of you may feel bad that the Hisense PX1-Pro was replaced after less than two years on the market. But that is because you are a fool, projectors have no emotions. Besides the new upgraded version the Hisense PX2-Pro is much better anyway.
Top of the line projectors only stay that way for a short period of time. In the world of technology, new advancements happen often and if you can't keep upgrading and innovating your top-of-the-line products will fall out of favor quickly. That's why Hisense unveiled their brand new TriChroma PX2-Pro.
The PX1-Pro and PX2-Pro are definitely look similar. But under the hood there are several major differences.
