Hisense PX3-Pro vs Hisense PL2
Every published specification for both, with the brightness standard shown beside each figure and the screen geometry worked out from each maker’s own throw ratio. Rows where the two differ are tinted.
Hisense
Hisense PX3-Pro
The tri-laser ultra-short-throw that most people end up comparing everything else to: 3,000 ANSI lumens, 110% of BT.2020, Dolby Vision, Google TV and a 50 W Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos.
Best for: Replacing a television in a bright living room without giving up color
Hisense
Hisense PL2
The single-laser step below the PX3-Pro: same 0.22 throw ratio and chassis size, 2,700 ANSI lumens, and Dolby Vision retained.
Best for: A laser TV budget that stops short of tri-laser

Hisense PX3-Pro: what it gives up
- 3,000:1 native contrast — tri-laser USTs trade black level for color, and this is the trade
- An ambient-light-rejecting screen is effectively mandatory and adds $1,000 or more
- Around 30 ms input lag at 4K, so gaming wants the 1080p modes
- Laser speckle is visible to some viewers on tri-laser engines
- Hisense publishes no fan-noise figure
- It launched at a premium over the tri-laser rival that has held the value position in this category for years
Hisense PL2: what it gives up
- Single-laser color gamut is well short of the tri-laser USTs at a similar price
- Vidaa rather than Google TV — the app selection is narrower
- 3,000:1 native contrast and an ALR screen still required
- 60 Hz only, and Hisense publishes neither input lag nor fan noise
- Hisense does not publish the image offset, so where the bottom of the picture lands cannot be calculated before installation
