Hisense P1, updated price of the ultra-bright triple-laser portable battery-powered projector

The major Berlin trade show enabled Hisense to present a broad range of new products in the field of video projectors (see our news on the Hisense PX4-Pro, Hisense C3 Pro, Hisense C3 Ultra and Hisense C3 Ultra Max). Among them, the P1 particularly stood out. This model expands the manufacturer’s family of long-throw projectors, launched last year with the M2 Pro, and marks a real change in direction. For the first time at Hisense, the device directly integrates a battery to offer truly portable use. No more systematic dependence on a mains outlet. Equipped with an integrated stand allowing 360° rotation, the P1 can be placed anywhere to easily project onto a wall or tilt the image toward the ceiling. It thus directly moves into the territory of portable references such as the Xgimi MoGo 4 Laser or the Halo+.

 

 

Hisense P1, triple laser and record brightness for a portable device Rather than sacrificing performance on the altar of mobility, the manufacturer chose to keep a true triple laser source (TriChroma [abc]RGB[/abc]) combined with a [abc]DLP[/abc] chip. While the native resolution selected is more modest than on its living-room models, [abc]1 080p[/abc] rather than [abc]Ultra HD[/abc] [abc]4K[/abc], the device is capable of projecting a generous image diagonal ranging from 65" to 150" (165 cm to 381 cm). Above all, Hisense announces a brightness of 1,000 lumens, a particularly high value for a compact battery-powered projector, placing it far ahead of the 550 lumens of a MoGo 4 Laser. Native contrast is no slouch either, announced at 6,000:1 thanks to the integration of proprietary CineBlack technology.

 

 

Hisense P1, optical zoom and battery management Another particularly rare asset in this market segment, the Hisense P1 features a true optical zoom (1.3x). This feature proves extremely practical on the move or in small spaces, as it makes it possible to adjust the size of the projected image without physically moving the device back or forward. Regarding the integrated battery, Hisense makes an assumed trade-off by prioritizing brightness over pure endurance: battery life is around 45 minutes at full power. By reducing brightness to the maximum, this duration can reach up to 1 hour 30 minutes.

 

 

Hisense P1, built for video games and Cloud Gaming Gamers are not forgotten, far from it. The projector displays very fast specifications with an announced response time of just 1 ms in Full [abc]HD[/abc] resolution, for a refresh rate reaching 240 hertz. It is thus aimed directly at gamers looking for responsiveness on the big screen. In addition, on versions equipped with the Vidaa OS 9.6 operating system, direct access to Xbox Game Pass (via the brand’s Gaming XXL program) is included to enjoy Cloud Gaming without a wired console.
