Excellent video with no unnecessary footage. Concise and to the point. Subscribed 👍🏾
Amazed at the picture quality and sound! So pleased with the purchase.
Thank you for not doing the unboxing doing that is a complete waste of time. You have the best channel when it comes to projectors keep up the excellent work! ^^
^^
Unboxing anything and recording it is stupid.
@@n3tfury ^^
Really.
Unboxing is complete waste of time. Jump straight to setup and show us how the projector performance.
I really appreciate your reviews. I trust your sensibilities. I don't leave comments a lot but wanted to leave one today.
I love your content! Informative , fun and plain dope!
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.
Second review I've watched on this and I'm sold... 👍🏽
(New Subscriber)
Great video bro and I like that you put the price of the item in the video most youtubers do not do that. And im definitely subscribe now 👍🏾
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.
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.
Can you elaborate on exactly what you disliked about the hard screen?
@@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.
@@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?
@@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.
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?
Hey Chris,
We absolutely love your CZcams 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?
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.
Would love to hear the results of this right here.
Been a fan for years and, just like you, I wish I got a new video every few days. How can WE make that happen?!
Great review Mr, thanks so much all I need now is the money haha
thank you for mentioning the un adjustable screen size witch is a really big issue to me
Great review a good laser tv just make sure you buy the warranty because customer support is slow
Ok going get one outstanding video
Hey love this video! Can you check if you can flip the projector upside down in the settings?
I have the 120" version and it does have a setting for ceiling mount orientation.
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?
... good piece
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!
Do a video about the jmgo o1 pro short throw and the jmgo o1 I want to know which one to buy
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.
could you review the Bomaker polaris short throw laser projector? Was thinking about getting it.....
Nice, can these be ceiling mounted instead of placed on a unit? I'm considering one for the bedroom and there's not enough space to put a unit at the bottom of the bed and comfortably get past.
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.
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
mostly 120l5f is sold by buydig for 2800usd with alr screen so its best bet for money. I have been using this tv for 2 months now and love it.Just plugged in Amazon fire tv
Is the concave arc at the top of the screen just a matter of setup, or will that always be there? Could just be an illusion from the recording too.
Just when are you reviewing Epson LS500 (like next few weeks is what you said in your last video as well) and maybe a comparison video of all the 4kUST projector please!!! How long I've been waiting for you to review he Epson so that I can buy one ;-)
Epson is going to destroy this unit as far as brightness I mean that's what LCD does to DLP. The espon just has such odd design.
Will USTs ever get close to the black levels of a good QLED?
Looks better then a TV and for Gaming hopefully it's also better....
Nice one
Would you choose this over the vava?
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…
Hey I just set mines up really need your guidance. What’s settings was best for it I feel as if mines is not bright enough I don’t have it hooked to a avr yet . Would a avr help with the projector
What is the best laser tv for gaming ?
Hey so I’m looking for a good 7.1 surround sound that has good bass got any recommendations
Chris can you review the L9G?
Poor black levels even with an ALR screen...that's pretty disappointing, but great review as always Chris!👍
How's ur laser tv holding up at this moment? We're planning to purchase one.
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!
Is the picture quality better than the vava or just the OS?
@@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.
@@assema.5174 thank you
@@assema.5174 how would you say the picture is in daylight? I am now in analysis paralysis between All of the USTs in this price range and I’m close to pulling the trigger on this one given the low input lag and included screen mainly. Any help or extra convincing would be great - thanks in advance!
Does the screen that comes stock with it, support rear projection?
If you have issues with the Google tv environment.. just put on developer options and put animations off
How do you conpare this one with the LG 4K projector?
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?
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.
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.
Can this projector be ceiling mounted? Thanks! 🙂
Good thing they have the option to turn off eye protection
Is the ALR screen opaque? Specifically, would it work if there is a window 'behind' it? I want to mount it on a basement wall, which has 2 small windows towards the top
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!!
Most UST projectors have adjustable focus. This is the first one I've reviewed that didn't.
@@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.
@@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!
Where can I obtain the operations manual to explain all the picture settings for the L5G which I own?
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.
What’s the difference between the l5f vs l5g ? Is the same thing ?
Hi, I got a Hisense 120" laser TV and I am struggling trying to set my Comcast cable box, everything seems to be connected but no Cable signal appears anywhere. Any idea? Also No Netflix found.
Debating between this l5g and a benq tk850i. I watch allot of fast sports. Any opinion? Thanks!
I have a difficulty choosing Hisense 120L5F with ALR screen vs Samsung LSP7t with Elite Aeon CineGrey Screen.? price point both are same in my case. Can someone have any idea on these 2 comparisons?
You said you can hook up sub but can you set up other speakers with it? To get a little closer to a surround sound?
Yes. You can connect whatever speakers you want to the RCA outputs
How would u rate this compared to a we max? I went and bought a wemax nova this week. Heard great reviews on it for its price and also seeing other people’s video reviews. This is that much better that I should return and get this?
I ordered the Fengmi 4k pro and both Wemax & Fengmi are known to have a high pitch noise which was very noticeable on the Fengmi. The L5 is silent compared to them!
@@assema.5174 but how is the picture quality on the wemax? I have a sound system and don’t plan on using the wemax for sound. Is the picture quality is as good as people say?
@@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!
120L5F vs 100l9g what is the difference between these 2 models anyone know ? N which is better both look the same to me ?
I haven't seen this projector... err, Laser TV in person, but it's hard to argue this over the Epson 5050UB, since the Epson can do variable screen sizes, 3D, 4K with HDR, and costs under 3K... What are your thoughts on that argument?
My 5050ub hasn't moved and I don't think it's going anywhere for a while. lol
5050 is 2k, NOT 4K...
Please review epson hc3800
@Chris majestic You have the hottest intro music on CZcams and you didn’t include it in the video?! #Blasphemy!
Just kidding. Keep doing what you do! 👍🏾 Intro music is 🔥🔥🔥 though!
Would this be an upgrade from a optoma gt1090hdr?
is it possible to connect with PC and do net surfing??
recommendation, who has better image quality Samsung UE85AU7100 or hisense 100L5F-B12?
How does this compare to the Optoma P2 which is more expensive once you factor in price of a screen?
Was just about to ask the same question? Moving into a new space and looking to go ultra short throw in the living room
My educated guess would suggest P2 would outdo this thing...
Ahhh so one of the differences seem to be TV Tuner, no dolby vision, and unable to adjust to different size. Compared to the X1 Pro
Does this support 4k@120fps? I can't find this info anywhere.
Should be great to have at least hdmi 2.1
Whoa - Destiny ONE as the example? Ha...awesome.
When will you be testing the Epson LS500? Any plans for that?
8:00
@@TylerStout I must have stopped it right before that
Is L5 better than Samsung lsp7t. Thank you Chris
I have the same question...waiting for him or someone to reply
No body is talking about Samsung lsp7t much everyone is obsessed with lsp9t....
How reliable is it chriss? Costco has 2799$ plus a 250$ cash card
firestick remote sound not working sony n7200w pls video
I got a BenQ TH685 recently with the 8ms response time and 120hz refresh rate. It's kinda hard to beat since it arguably looks better than this thing, can be focused manually, projects a larger image, AND costs $800 ish.
Yeah, idk how I feel about projectors that don't have the option to manually focus. That response time is also A1, and 120hz literally can't be argued with.
@@sporemaster97 I highly recommend it 👍
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.
@@JoshuaKanode That's a fair point.
Man buys $3500 laser TV; watches paw patrol. 🤔
The ONLY way to do it😎👍
😂😂😂
man i wach peppa pig！
Can the image be flipped so the projector can be mounted on the ceiling?
Yes …
The add that popped up this video was for a laser projector and it kinda got me off gard when it said I know your watching a laser projector video....
time to compare to include specs from L5, P2, vava, wemax xaomi, 7050i
Would you replace an 85" samsung qled with a 120" Hisense?
Depends on your setup. I have the Samsung 85" QLED and my answer would be yes if it was for a home theater but no for over my fireplace. A 35-inch difference is huge and worth the tradeoff for home theater viewing.
Do they sell the wrench separately?
No
It’s included in the package
Vaders Reflections as he Closer Which Instrument to use-
Hi sir
Do know if there is any
4k 120hz projectors for gaming?
Lsp7t
@@MS-hb5mz okay but that one is the Samsung.
And i have seen somewhere that Doesn't har HDMI 2.1.
How many lumens is good enough for 150" screen
2000+
I noticed you called it a laser to but I also noticed you called it the most affordable. ($3500 is afordable?)
Yes because it comes with a screen worth somewhere between $800-1000
I am waiting a VS with samsung lsp9t ....now Maybe the best ust but it costs too much.
And has TERRIBLE input lag.
@@JoshuaKanode yes but if you are not a pro gamer it s ok....about me i prefer movies and sports...And a little of game..
How many inches off the wall is the projector?
He said 10 inches
3D technology?
Chris Majestic 🤣🤣🤣
Seems like at the end of the day, you're better off to go ahead and save another $1000 bucks and get the L9 top of the line version.
Wait its only 3500??...not bad...let me see if my mama, and grandmother wants one too..
LOL I just brought one just waiting for the screen to get delivered but I got the l5f
Crazy…both should’ve be coming together 🙄
You’ll love it
Is there any reason why most projectors like this one don't have Dolby Vision? I'm curious if there is a legit reason?
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.
Licensing for chips probably costs too much.
Most projectors don't have the brightness and dynamic contrast needed for dolby vision. It's a pretty tall order even for a TV
@@TheCHRISCaPWN oh wow interesting and that stinks because in my opinion Dolby Vision is way better than HDR on my TV at least. I don't think it's even close.
OPTICAL TIGHT!
I wonder how good there 10k projector would do compared to this one.
But also to be fair, the prices shown at 0:54 are 8Ks and you're talking about 4K. Apples and oranges...
There are no 4k 100 inch screens available. The point is that you can't find an affordable 100 inch screen regardless of resolution
pixel shifting, no thanks. I'm after native 4K. I want the native source, not a smaller resolution upscaled.
the price is good if comes with screen in one shot instead getting f*n good brand 85 inch TV is same price ..i would ratter get it with 120" screen , i am waiting for VAVA new Generation model to release & see whats is all about ..but this is good 2 ..like usual gonna wait for holiday & blk Friday sales to getting anything comes to prices like this! that EPSON LS500 is f*n GREAT in pic & blks , but they released it year later, so thats turned off for me! LS500 is 2019 model not 2020
When is the next version of the vava coming out?
