The laser TV that replaces an 85-inch set — inches from the wall, 150 inches on it, and Xbox-ready.

Near-full BT.2020 color, every HDR format, and 240Hz Xbox gaming make it the best all-round UST at the price — a real big-TV replacement inches from the wall. But like all USTs it wants a pricey ALR screen, has no lens shift, and its black floor trails a dark-room projector.
The PX3-Pro is Hisense's answer to a giant TV: an ultra-short-throw laser cinema that sits on a console inches from the wall and throws an 80–150-inch 4K image. Its TriChroma RGB triple-laser engine is rated at 3,000 ANSI lumens, and unlike the inflated-lumen crowd it's honest — independent labs measure ~2,700–3,400, bright enough (paired with an ambient-light-rejecting screen) to watch with the lights on and replace a flat panel. Color and HDR are the standouts: near-full BT.2020 coverage (~98% measured, ~99.8% DCI-P3), sub-1 Delta-E accuracy, and every HDR format — Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG — plus IMAX Enhanced. It's also the first 'Designed for Xbox' UST, with a 240Hz low-latency mode that makes it a legitimate gaming screen, not just a movie box. Google TV, a 50W Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos, and dual HDMI 2.1 round it out. The UST caveats are real and apply to the whole category. There's no physical lens shift, so setup leans on motorized focus and keystone; black levels, while strong for a UST, don't reach a dark-room long-throw projector; and to look its best in a lit room you'll want a matched ALR screen, which adds several hundred dollars. Budget for the screen and this is the most complete laser TV you can buy near the price.

How we know
High confidenceLast checkedWe rank the PX3-Pro as the best UST/laser-TV on measured performance and near-unanimous reviewer praise. Projector Reviews measured 3,246 ANSI lumens (above the 3,000 claim); ProjectorScreen recorded up to 3,400 and a native contrast to 6,350:1; ProjectorCentral measured 2,669 in Vivid and ~94–98% BT.2020 with 99.8% DCI-P3. What Hi-Fi and Home Theater HiFi both called it a big step up from prior Hisense USTs and excellent for movies as well as its Xbox-focused gaming, and ProjectorScreen noted it would challenge long-throw projectors costing more even in a dark room. The consistent caveats are UST-inherent: no lens shift, and best results only with a matched ALR screen. Sources: ProjectorCentral, Projector Reviews, ProjectorScreen, What Hi-Fi, Home Theater HiFi.

BenQ GP520 Review: The Budget Projector That Doesn't Need a Dark Room
Under $1,500, brightness is the spec that decides everything, and the GP520 wins it with an honest 2,600 lumens. What it gives up is color and black level, and it is upfront about both.

Hisense C2 Ultra Review: The Best-Sounding Projector, Outmaneuvered on Price
It measures brighter than its rating, games at 240Hz, and has the only real subwoofer in the class. It is also no longer the value pick it was, because the projector above it got cheaper.

XGIMI Horizon 20 Max Review: Ignore the 5,700 Lumens, Buy the Lens Shift
XGIMI's headline number is real and useless. The reason to buy this projector is a feature it barely advertises: true lens shift, on a lifestyle projector, for the first time.
