Hisense introduced the C3 projector family, a trio of home- entertainment projectors featuring large-scale projection up to 300 inches and an IRIS lens for improved contrast. The lineup includes the C3 Ultra, C3 Ultra Max and the C3 Pro, with the Ultra and Ultra Max arriving in September and the Pro following later.
The C3 Ultra offers 4,000 ANSI-lumen brightness, a 5,000:1 contrast ratio and a Devialet-tuned audio system with integrated subwoofer. The C3 Ultra Max raises output to 5,000 ANSI-lumen, keeps the 5,000:1 contrast and adds 1 ms latency for gaming. The C3 Pro targets a balance with 3,000 ANSI-lumen, the same contrast and a Devialet-optimized sound system with subwoofer.
