Though I know nothing about projector/laser TV your video was very clear about this one, as let me know about what to expect from others. There was no problem understanding you talking about the features that was great. In all this video was outstanding. Thanks.

Count me in. I think the 120 screen is for me. Waiting on your next video. Great great video content. Been waiting just for this.

[@samnaderiofficial]

I love your content! Informative , fun and plain dope!

[@veeelad]

I ordered this in April 2021 and it came with a hard, pre-assembled screen. Its performance is pretty horrible compared to the one you had in your review. Luckily, Hisense customer service swapped my screen for the older, soft one, and I am much happier with it now. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone considering this model.

[@anthonynunez3523]

Can you elaborate on exactly what you disliked about the hard screen?

[@veeelad]

@@anthonynunez3523 The biggest issue is that it created bright, defined reflections on my ceiling and side wall. Search for the review that was done by Bench House to see what I mean. Also, the viewing angles compared to the soft screen were a lot worse, similar to watching on an VA LCD panel. With the soft screen, the viewing angle is pretty close to 180 degrees. As far as I know, the 120 inch version still comes with the soft screen.

[@anthonynunez3523]

@@veeelad thx for the great explanation, I got one last question.. How was the contrast and black levels compared to the hard screen especially with the lights on?

[@veeelad]

@@anthonynunez3523 No problem! I would say the brightness is a little better with the hard screen, but the contrast is better with the soft one.

[@hisxbr150]

Gonna find the Epson ls500 input lag at around 17 which is amazing. I really want to go UST but man the odd placement of the units really make it hard. Ls500 has to sit Soo low from screen let alone out from wall for a 120. Great review as always love the channel keep up the great work.

Lovely video Chris, many thanks! Tip that *might* cure that lag on the Android TV interface: Go into settings, enable developer options by clicking on build 7 times. Then in dev options scroll down to the drawing section and set Window Animation Scale to off, Transition animation scale to off and Animator duration scale to .5x hope it helps.

Hey Chris, just wondered what the deal with the screen is in terms of boxing. Your image at 1:01 appears that the screen is in long but narrow box - is the screen rolled up in there? And then you unroll and fix it to the frame before attaching to the wall? Thanks!

[@Jaysun1]

I just started looking into UST projectors. Has the technology been improving quickly every year or are we pretty much almost as good as it gets with this tech?

[@alysshalouise]

Hey Chris, We absolutely love your KZbin channel. I would like to ask your opinion on the Hisense short throw projectors My choices in Australia is the L5 in the 120” or the L9G in the 100” (the 120” in this isn’t available in Australia) Which choice would you make?

[@torreythompson7078]

Great review a good laser tv just make sure you buy the warranty because customer support is slow

Hey brother, loved the video, I am thinking about picking up this Hisense model. This will be my first venture into short throw projectors. What were the two games that u tried out in this video?

[@assema.5174]

I've tried the VAVA, Fengmi 4K and this one is hands down best bang for buck. Runs on Android, barely hear anything as Chris mentions and relatively good short throw ratio!

[@doug350zTT]

Is the picture quality better than the vava or just the OS?

[@assema.5174]

@@doug350zTT I'd say color accuracy is def better on the L5 and brighter, helps L5 has 2700 ANSI Lumens. Very underrated projector and dirt cheap on Amazon now too.

Any help or extra convincing would be great - thanks in advance!

[@shadowdemon7770]

I considered this Hisense when looking at an USTP for my home theater. The only reason I went with a vava 4k was because for an extra $400, I would get a total of 126in screen. The vava 4k runs $2,800 add that to the $1,100 for the 126in ALR screen, I couldn't turn it down.

[@raymondayala5355]

How do you like it? I got mine during Black Friday sale at Best Buy for $2100. It was on sale for 2 days. I LOVE mine but I’m looking to upgrade to the epson LS11000

Hi, I haven't seen your video on PL1H, what do you recommend which is better PL1H or 120L5F? Hoping you can reply and help me decide :). Thanks for the great info you share.

[@Jimmy-Chin]

Thanks for your review. Based on what you said it's issues and specs, I'd still choose an OLED, because it's not meant for gaming really.

[@ChrisMajestic]

I wouldn't compare this to an OLED since you can't get a 100" OLED for anything close to $3500. Of course an OLED is going to look better but 15 or more inches is a pretty big size difference.

Hey! Is it possible to use Dolby Atmos over the internal Netflix App and with an external sound system? I ask because there‘s only ARC and not eARC…

[@TriMuXx]

I had no idea that the image goes out of focus when you pull it further away or push it closer to the wall. I thought laser projectors didn't need focus and are always in focus. I guess that's changed when it comes to Ultra Short Throw projectors? Great video though! Looking forward to the Epson UST video!!

[@ChrisMajestic]

Most UST projectors have adjustable focus. This is the first one I've reviewed that didn't.

[@TriMuXx]

@@ChrisMajestic not sure if you recall the Celluon PicoPro portable projector was laser and never required a focus knob no matter how close/far you moved from the screen.

[@lievenvv]

@@TriMuXx laser phosphor projectors don't draw the image directly like some kind of high tech laser pointer; instead the laser hits phosphors to create diffuse light, which is then used to project the image like with a standard light bulb. It does have massive benefits over old skool high-pressure mercury bulbs!

Hisense 120L5F focus and setup help? Setting up my Hisense laser TV for the first time and struggling a bit. The focus is sharp near the bottom center of the picture but really blurry toward the top, especially the top and left or right corners. I have it about a foot away from the screen. Same focus issues when it was really close to the screen. Is there a specific distance required? Also, is there any way to get it to display on the bottom edge of the screen without either moving the screen up or moving the unit down?

@@FMD023 I had the Fengmi 4K Pro 2400 ANSI LUMENS. While the Fengmi and Wemax produce awesome bright pictures, this one is on par or slightly better for sure. As for the noise, I'm not talking about the speakers I'm referring to their noise, Google it it's called "Coil Whine noise" with Fengmi or Wemax. You'll see plenty of people complaining about coil whine noise which I experienced first hand! This one in comparison is SILENT, nothing but a whisper when it's on. That alone sold me on the L5!

How does this compare to the Optoma P2 which is more expensive once you factor in price of a screen?

[@dotodotivan]

recommendation, who has better image quality Samsung UE85AU7100 or hisense 100L5F-B12?

[@noe3024]

This is a single-DLP projector like all all domestic DLP projectors out there. Single-DLP means sequential color, and sequential color means RGB flash artifact (or more popularly known as rainbow effect RBE). ALL single-DLP projectors produce hateful RBE, no matter how fast the lasers flash in sequence or the color filter wheel rotates (this hisense has lasers, I know, and does not have a color wheel; I just mentioned it in the context of sequential color). Reviews about single-DLP projectors should always touch on the extent of RBE if observed, or the ability or inability of reviewer to perceive RBE, which is ALWAYS present.

But you can’t compare a short throw to a UST. It’s 🍎 to 🍊. I’m “patiently” waiting for one of the non-China regional only companies to use the new low lag TI DMD chip in a UST. If you don’t have a dedicated theater room (as someone who move a lot) then a UST becomes the more reasonable projection format.

Is there any reason why most projectors like this one don't have Dolby Vision? I'm curious if there is a legit reason?

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

Dolby won't approve Dolby Vision on anything that has variables, such as room ambient light levels. The only way DV would show up on a projector is if it is certified sold and installed from a Dolby installer, who could measure every aspect of the room during installation to ensure it meets DV specs, which would most likely put the price outside the range of the majority of consumers.

[@joshrosales7610]

Licensing for chips probably costs too much.
