First observation on the Hisense C2, the 3D management is there. The addition of an adjustable foot allows the projector to be rotated 360° and easily tilted forward or backward at a very pronounced angle. This is a function that greatly improves the ergonomics of the product by facilitating its placement. A keystone correction and an autofocus are also available.
Hisense C2, embedded TriChroma technology££££
Like the Hisense Cube C1, the Hisense C2 offers a "classic" focal length (fixed 1.2:1 projection ratio) and the exclusive TriChroma technology. There is also a new image processing boosted by artificial intelligence, an integrated 3DLut and MEMC (Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation) motion compensation. As a reminder, the Trichroma name reveals the presence of a triple laser source [abc]RGB[/abc] for excellent color accuracy with coverage announced at 110% of the Rec.2020 gamut (more or less what the human eye sees)
Hisense C2 TriChroma, main specifications££££
For the rest, the Hisense C2 video projector planned for Europe benefits from [abc]HDR Dolby Vision[/abc], [abc]HDR10[/abc], [abc]HDR10[/abc]+ and [abc]HDR HLG[/abc] compatibility. The brightness displays 2,000 lumens for a native contrast of 1,700:1. Filmmaker mode is on the menu.
Hisense C2 TriChroma, DLP chip with wobulation££££
For the rest, the Hisense C2 TriChroma integrates a [abc]DLP[/abc] TI 0.47'' (1.19 cm) chip with a response time of 32 µs, 500 times faster than an [abc]LCD[/abc] TV. It has 2,048 x 1,200 pixels including a section of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels to generate an Ultra HD 4K image through the XPR4 process (wobulation) signed by Texas Instrument. As a reminder, the latter uses the hyper-high switching speed of the mirrors via specific video processing to create 8 million pixels for each displayed image (a real pixel ultimately gives four pixels). Precision, the Input Lag is announced reduced (without further details) and the maximum display frequency reaches 240 Hz in [abc]1 080p[/abc], 60 Hz in [abc]2 160p[/abc].
Hisense C2 TriChroma, connectivity, connectivity, Smart TV and sound section££££
On the connectivity side, there are two [abc]HDMI[/abc] 2.1 inputs (with [abc]eARC[/abc] management), an [abc]optical[/abc] output, two [abc]USB[/abc] 3.0 ports and an [abc]Ethernet[/abc] port. The equipment also mentions the [abc]Wi-Fi[/abc] and [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] functions. The sound section of the Hisense C2 is signed JBL.
On the menu again, the Smart TV Vidaa function, a platform signed by Hisense associated with a particularly fast Quad Core processor, the Mediatek MT9669 (4 GB of RAM + 64 GB of flash memory). In terms of voice control, in addition to the Vidaa assistant, Alexa and Google Assistant are available.
Availability planned for the month of November. Indicative price: 1,990 euros.
