Hisense Laser TVs

When Hisense first debuted its Laser TVs, which blur

the line between a projector and a TV, they were impressive

but prohibitively expensive, with the initial model selling for

$10,000. The company quickly iterated on the design, soon

offering smaller models for less. Now with the introduction

of the L8E and L10E lines at CEDIA 2018, which range in

size from a comparatively small 88-inch model to a massive

120-inch screen, the company’s compact projectors are

starting to get more affordable.

While Hisense refers to them as TVs — and they do have

built-in tuners — the Laser TVs are closer to ultra short-

throw projectors, sitting just a few inches from the wall that

will be used for the display surface. Hisense says that

compared to LED displays, its mammoth display sizes are

comfortable on the eyes from as close as 10 feet away.

Unlike standard projectors, the relatively small footprint of

Laser TVs means that they take up either the same amount

of space or even less space than a traditional home theater

Setup.

Like Hisense’s H8E TV, the new Laser TV models are

powered by Amazon Alexa voice integration, meaning

you’re not stuck if you lose the remote. Similar to Hisense’s

TVs, the new Laser TV models feature smart TV features

with built-in services like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime

Video, Vudu, TikiLive, Pandora, and others.
