Hisense announced two new laser projectors, the Hisense XR10 and the Hisense PX4-PRO. Since introducing its first Laser TV (Smart UST projector) in 2014, Hisense has continued to expand its projector lineup to cover a wider range of use cases. While both models share a common foundation in TriChroma RGB laser technology, they are designed for very different applications. The XR10 is aimed at premium high-brightness standard-throw installations, while the PX4-PRO is designed for ultra-short-throw applications popular in living rooms.
The XR10 is a step up from the C2 Series of Lifestyle Projectors that Hisense introduced at CES 2025. These long-throw models use a Tri-Chroma Laser light source, video processing, smart features, and a high-performance sound system in a compact package. We were impressed with the Hisense C2 Ultra that we reviewed a couple of months ago. The XR10 offers even higher brightness, improved contrast control, and more advanced optical systems than previous generations.
The XR10 is positioned as a premium laser projector for users who want the flexibility of a traditional long-throw installation without compromising brightness or color performance. Powered by Hisense’s new LPU 3.0 Digital Laser Engine, which is an RGB laser light source, XR10 is capable of producing up to 6,000 ANSI lumens. That level of light output places it among the brightest home entertainment projectors currently available, making it suitable for large screens and spaces that are not fully light-controlled.
Hisense pairs that high brightness RGB laser light with an upgraded optical system that includes sixteen all-glass lens elements designed to minimize light loss and prevent discoloration. To improve the projector’s visual contrast performance, the XR10 is equipped with a newly developed dynamic IRIS system that adjusts the lens aperture in response to the displayed scene. According to Hisense, the XR10 balances brightness and black-level performance more effectively than previous Hisense models. resulting in rated contrast ratios of up to 6000:1 while preserving detail in both highlights and shadows.
To accommodate high-brightness output in a relatively compact chassis, Hisense developed a fully sealed microchannel liquid-cooling system. By keeping internal components at more stable operating temperatures, the XR10 is intended to deliver consistent color accuracy and brightness over extended use.
Installation flexibility is another area where the XR10 distinguishes itself within Hisense’s lineup. The XR10 features an optical zoom range of 0.84x to 2.0x and supports screen sizes from 65 inches to 300 inches without sacrificing image clarity. Vertical and horizontal lens shift also provides precise image positioning without moving the projector.
While digital keystone correction should be avoided, there are sometimes rooms where ideal placement is not possible. Hence, the XR10 has an advanced intelligent sensing system that combines four cameras with dual time-of-flight sensors. Working alongside AI-based auto adjustment algorithms, the system enables lossless image correction for side projection angles up to plus or minus fifteen degrees,
While the C2 Series is designed primarily as premium lifestyle and home entertainment models, emphasizing portability, compact form factors, and ease of use in casual living spaces, the XR10 prioritizes higher brightness, higher contrast, and installation flexibility.
While information remains limited, the XR10 offers high brightness, high contrast, wide color gamut reproduction, and an advanced lens system with zoom and lens shift, making it a compelling option for those seeking a traditional home theater projector.
The PX4-PRO is the latest addition to Hisense’s lineup of smart ultra-short-throw projectors, designed as a practical alternative to a large flat-panel television. While not as bright as the Hisense L9Q, the new PX4-PRO should deliver a performance step-up over the award-winning Hisense PX3-PRO.
The PX4-PRO delivers up to 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness and projects images up to 200 inches from just inches away from the screen. The projector’s higher brightness should produce a vibrant image in a typical living room, where full light control is not always possible. Hisense PX3-PRO also features a new IRIS lens system that enables advanced dynamic contrast control, delivering a rated contrast ratio of 6000:1. Compared to the PX3-PRO, this new model should deliver deeper perceived blacks and improved shadow detail.
Due to its TriChroma laser light source, the projector can reproduce an extremely wide color gamut with strong saturation and accuracy. The PX4-PRO supports a wide range of HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and is IMAX Enhanced certified. For gamers, the PX4-PRO also includes ultra-low-latency modes that reduce input lag and improve responsiveness.
While we have not seen images of the model, I suspect that the PX4-PRO will maintain the low-profile, space-conscious aesthetic of previous Hisense UST projectors.
The introduction of the XR10 and PX4-PRO illustrates Hisense’s continued commitment to laser projection in 2026. From advanced laser engines and dynamic IRIS systems to sealed liquid cooling and intelligent sensing, the XR10 and PX4-PRO showcase technologies that are gradually reshaping expectations for consumer projection.
