It has been a long time since Hisense renewed its range of Laser TV ultra short throw projector (although new USTs were introduced in the Laser Cinema line last year). However, at CES 2025 we are receiving a novel variant – the L9Q Laser TV. The new version will allow a bigger screen size fitting of up to150nches with some of its variants. Hisense will offer the the L9Q in five packages that will include ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen sizes at 100, 110, 120, 136, and 150 inches.
These options will be much wider in size in comparison to the previous model, L9H. The L9Q may, additionally, be able to be acquired separately without the screen like the previous model L9H which was marketed for thousand dollars. Nonetheless, there have been no statements regarding that from Hisense, up until now.
The throw ratio on the L9Q projector has decreased from 0.25:1 to 0.18:1 which means that instead of being 2.5 inches away from the wall, the projector will be much closer. This is good news in the light of fact that, for example, a 150 inch picture from a 0.25:1 projector would have to be approximately 80 inches from the wall.
Due to the 0.18:1 throw, the L9Q does not overhang too much into the space for larger screen sizes. New improved focus motors have been incorporated as well as customized picture settings based on the screen size selected. The auto screen alignment feature on the L9Q helps in providing a well four cornered image on the screen. Along with wanting the placement to be exact, the additional processing can lead to higher input lag and the introduction of artifacts into the picture, which is why we would still recommend getting the placement correct.
Hisense has raised the projection output of the TriChroma RGB Laser Light Engine from 3,000 to 4,000 lumens, boosting the claim by 33%. Alongside this, the stat of a native contrast ratio of 3000:1 holds its value and significance for the product. It cannot be denied that projectors shall remain behind mini- LED televisions forever in terms of brightness, however the lumens increase does serve constant laser TV users well, especially in a setting that does not support controlling the uncontrollable light finely.
When contrasted with televisions, UST projectors, particularly the triple laser, perform well in color space resolution, when compared to televisions the L9Q boasts an impressive coverage of 110%. On the surface, there is no denying it is a good number, however in reality this is more for future proofing than anything else since a majority of the content consumed is still DCI-P3. It would take a few more years for the content to pivot to BT.2020.
Meanwhile, Hisense plans to install the new Google TV OS with the soundbar, which is now elevated to a power of 116 watts from previously placed 40 watts.
A rectangle is used instead of the previous L9H rounded chassis, and an eye-catching chassis shape has been designed with a semicircular dent at the back of the lens. The front of the laser TV is fitted with a metal grille while the back part has been made black. Hisense has clearly attempted to look more elegant than most and in our view it has succeeded in that aim.
