I know you're on a budget but I would try and get an open box C2 ultra. It's significantly better than those.
r/projectors • Hisense C2 base model vs Nexigo trivision ultra? In this price range which should I pick? ->Having said this though and seeing my friends c2 ultra in person. It looks incredible. And I would have guessed true 4k if I hadn't read about it. Picture quality is nuts.
r/projectors • Is a 4 K projector worth it? ->I mean sure but I got an open box C2 ultra for 2400$ CAD open box. And the pro2 is 4300$ I do think the Pro 2 is slightly better (but they are damn close on the whole) but that's not worth 2000$ for me
r/projectors • Need Help Deciding on a Projector: Hisense C2 Ultra or Other Options? ->I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a Hisense C2 ultra on a 135" screen mostly at night and it's pretty fucking amazing. Plus I have a paradigm 5.1 speaker setup with an AVR. It blows my mind every-time I start playing. I also play RL on it and honestly it's not bad. I don't really notice the input lag.
r/projectors • Gaming on a projector. Pros & cons? ->You can get a Hisense C2 or the Nexigo Trivision Ultra and go with a traditional long throw setup. Placement of the projector needs to be pretty exacting. Then use a standard fixed frame screen in white or grey and call it done. Add a sound system and it's all together for under $3,000. $2,000 if you are careful in your shopping.
r/projectors • Cheaper alternatives? ->You will need to consider audio in the room as projectors don't do audio really well. Many lifestyle laser projectors don't have any optical zoom, which will limit your size/placement options. For example, the Nexigo Trivision Ultra has a fixed 1.27:1 lens. For a 92" diagonal, the lens much be 8.5 feet from the screen. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/NexiGo-TriVision\_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/NexiGo-TriVision_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm) The Hisense C2 has a .9-1.5:1 optical zoom lens. This gives you a ton more flexibility in placement so you can get a 92" screen or a 100" screen or even a 110" screen from the back of the room using optical zoom. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/Hisense-C2\_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc](https://www.projectorcentral.com/Hisense-C2_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc) The lens of these projectors needs to be aligned to the top edge of the screen. These models do have HDMI-ARC to backfeed audio to a sound bar or surround sound receiver. But, speakers need to be fully thought out prior to getting too much finished.
r/projectors • Help with my living room ->Just get nexigo ap mk2 with alr screen. Other ust to consider such as epson ls650, formovie theatre 2, xiaomi c2, hisense pl1. They all have low or no rbe / speckle issues. Valerion dimming ebl doesn't activate with subtitles, no iris and have speckle issues.
r/projectors • Nexigo Aurora vs Valerion Pro 2 vs Epson 4010 ->I've had a similar Epson Beamer, but the noise it produces isn't suitable for us so we went for Hisense C2 instead - 2000 Lumen and 4k quality.
r/projectors • Don't buy ewaste, listen to these guys, VGA to usb c iPad a16 on a painted textured wall ->I tried the Valerion Plus 2 and found it too dim. I then tried the Hisense C2 Ultra and found it just right for my 120 inch screen.
r/projectors • Which projector to buy under $2500 ->Hisense C2 Ultra and upcoming C3 are both cheaper options. The preliminary reviews for C3 said it has a similar EBL function. I don't see Hisense pricing C3 at $ 2999.
r/projectors • Valerion Plus2 vs Pro1 vs Pro2, which one? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

Respectfully, I purchased the C2 and returned it due to a large amount of laser speckle and DLP rainbow effect. I'm in the market for a replacement but will most likely avoid laser projectors going forward.
r/projectors • W2720i vs TK710 vs X3100i for my first projector? ->Hisense C2 And silverticket whitte matte screen for less than 2,000 . I'm very happy with thatane the best setup I had.
r/projectors • What is the best projector you have used this year? ->Too many units have this corner fuzzy errors on Epson 3800. Thats why was a no no for me and buyed the Hisense c2 that I fell on love since the first time I turn on and watched the Witcher 4 trailer on it.
r/projectors • Looking for new home theatre setup ->You wanna go new tech? Go tri-laser or laser phosphor. Hisense c2 ultra or Valerion vision pro 2 or Epson Laser phosphor LS12000. You won't regret it especially for gaming. Recently I finish Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on my Hisense c2 and was absolutly cinema.
r/projectors • Home Theater Upgrade Suggestions ->Feel free to join us at /r/HisenseC2Projector The C2 ultra is pretty good overall, picture is nice and bright. Native contrast is not great but that's it's main downfall. I am currently experiencing light bleed with mine, which Hisense says is normal, so if you decide on the ultra be sure to get a warranty through the retailer
r/projectors • Need Help Deciding on a Projector: Hisense C2 Ultra or Other Options? ->Have you look at the Hisense c2 ultra? Perfect for gaming (first Xbox certified proj.) with a low latency and outstanding skin tone. I've got it since 5 months and I couldn't be happier
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Hi, Really interesterd in your feedback too. I actually own a Xgimi Horizon Pro (my eighth projector but the first 4K PJ at home). Coming from JVC (X30 in France) and then BenQ W1120 (my two last 1080p PJ), I wanted to taste the 4K. I knew that its contrast is weak but this Xgimi has other strenghts. Now, I'm torned between changing again for a new PJ or getting a new big TV like TCL 98" or Hisense 100". If I stand with projectors, it won't be a laser one because 1/ the speckle 2/ the rainbow effects... I'm sensitive to the RBE and see a lot of these with laser projectors. I've been to a demo of the Hisense C2 Ultra and I got an headache after half an hour in addition to the RBE. So I think these kind of projectors are definitely not for me. I've seen Ekki Schmitt's review (cine4home.de) of the BenQ W2720i on youtube and it seems to be a very good choice with accurate colors. The only backdraw should be the brigthness. With 1300 to 1500 lumens after calibration, you are limited to a 3 meters width screen (which is already nice). Because of the dlp chip used in this BenQ (0.47), the contrast is not as good as with a 0.65 chip but Ekki Schmitt said in his review that the dynamic contrast was about 3000:1 ratio without "pumping". So it should be very usable. If it's true, this BenQ could be a bargain. Very excited to read your feedback about it...
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I've got the Hisense C2 ultra for 6 months for gaming and movies. Can't be happier!
r/projectors • View on Reddit →r/budgetprojectors It's pretty commonly accepted here that you're looking to drop $1000 USD at least for a new 1080p projector but if you're looking spend even less budgetprojectors should be able to help you. 50% off 4500€ should easily accommodate something like a Hisense C2 Ultra and a basic 100" screen. 75% off 4500€ would bring you down to a BenQ HT2060 and a basic 100" screen. What are you looking for in a projector? Resolution? Do you need an ultra short throw or is there space to accomodate a short or even standard throw projector?
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I had to return mine due to the speckle and rainbow effect.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I did go with this combination. There is noticeable speckle unfortunately, although it is not a deal breaker for me personally.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I just purchased one of these 2 weeks ago, so far I think it looks amazing, however I haven't used another projector to compare it with. I do agree the software sucks but I just plugged in an Apple TV hub, problem solved.

r/projectors • View on Reddit →If you need the swiveling 360 possibilities, and arent mounting it.. the c2 ultra is fantastic. Buuut for me the rainbow effect on mine can drive me nuts depending on the content. Sometimes it's all I see, and other times it's non-existent, and like everything else on it, I can't figure out why.. so the xgimi horizon s max, might be better if rainbow effect drives you nuts. But ya lose out on some things... If ya don't need the 360 gimbal stuff, or ya just want to dish out extra money on an add on gimbal, the valerions are a good bet. If I had $5000 lying around I would got the top of the line valerion... but I didn't have the extra $2,500 for 15% better images. The c2 is solid in image quality and sound. I use the built in speaker more than my AVR because it doesn't drive everyone in the house insane, and its more than adequate. So if ya don't have a great sound system where you'll use it, thats something to consider. I'm sure the valerions are OK too. C2s seemingly have a high probability of having really annoying light bleed though... (mine is awful, I've seen one with worse, and more than a few that are about the same. But can be fixed with some tape and a card.. ) I have a love hate with my c2.. some times I'm in aw by it, and other times I wanna throw it out the window, but its almost all software related issues.. like on tvs, where one setting disables another and doesn't say which one, and its a never ending quest to figure it out. (Just disable everything and youre usually good).
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Well, have you look at the C2 ultra? Perfect for gaming and great for movies
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I ultimately bit the bullet, cancelled trivision order and went with Hisense c2 ultra. It performs amazingly well even in my non-light controlled living room. The only downside of course is that it's 2x the cost of nexigo. Given our tariff war with china, it's unlikely these projectors will get cheaper
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Hey TechNick that is not really a good suggestion. It would be a major step down in quality. The C2 Ultra has better color due to triple laser, better HDR management, better contrast thanks to strong tone mapping, fluid motion due to MEMC, support for Dolby Vision, is a lot quieter as well. I've read plenty of reviews of the x3100 many consider rather load and it gets really hot apparently.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I just bought a Hisense C2 Ultra for about $2500 and I project it on my wall. Works great so far. Have it hooked up to a Bose soundbar and sub woofer.
r/hometheater • View on Reddit →The Valerions, highsense C2 Ultra, and nexigo trivision ultra are the three I narrowed my search down to about 4 months ago. All 3 have great picture, low input lag, handle 4K well, etc. I wound up with 3 Valerion Pro 2s, as I really am impressed with them across the above stats, aesthetics, and software, but you'd likely be fine with any of them. We use ours for heavy gaming and as a main theater projector for movies etc. Won't ever go back to a TV. All laser projectors will need a good screen, I'd recommend something with a little bit of texture, possibly woven to reduce some speckle if you're sensitive to it.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Benqs scored pretty low at the time I was buying. I haven't looked at the 100s. This review really helped me at the time get a good cross section of the lifestyle projectors. https://youtu.be/ClIboELoz74 One thing to note is that the Highsense did make some strides since this review with recent firmware updates, but I'm not a fan of their software/UI. The Valerions using Google TV was a big plus for me, it's well maintained and it works.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Have you considered the c2 ultra? I finally took the plunge and have one arriving tomorrow. I was on the fence between the horizon s max, the c2, and pro 2. The s max stopped being on sale (went back to $1900 instead of $1600), dramatically decreasing the value benefit. Then it became a shoot out between the c2 and pro2.. and while from a purely picture quality standpoint the pro 2 is probably better.. I wasn't sure if was gonna be $500 better. On top of that, I plan on actually moving it around, and taking it places, so and the c2 won out on those features, with the built in gimbal and slightly better sound capabilities. It also just seemed easier to carry around in general. One review i saw on the pro2, pointed out that it's just a big square with really no clear way of holding it/moving it around.. not that you cant, but there's no handles or anything, so it's just kinda upto you to decide. And the little flappy stand under it.. I dunno about that. The gimbal approach just seemed much better to me, without having to spend another $150 for one.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Yeah luckily my parents are in China for vacation. They picked up a Hisense C2 Ultra for me for $1500 CAD.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Hisense C2 And silverticket whitte matte screen for less than 2,000 . I'm very happy with thatane the best setup I had.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I'm using the C2 ultra with my pro. It's excellent
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Think about it logically Say it can produce a 120" screen from 8ft away without any digital zoom and maximum brightness If you move it to 14 feet and use digital zoom to have the 120" the projector is less bright and will have less contrast because the further away it is the further th laser needs to cast The c2 ultra is a short to mid range cast imo I've had the c2 ultra for just under a week now and blown away with it but just wanted to see if I should ceiling mount it much closer rather than have it wall mounted 14ft away and zoomed in
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Yes I did, last weekend I went to a store that has many lined up in a showroom and I was able to test many side by side. I had a TK710 that was defective and after 3 unsuccessful RMA's I decided to get my money back. Which means now I have to find a new projector. The C2 was WAY more convincing than any other product. With the correct screen or type of wall, triple laser is as close you'll get to OLED like color quality. Color gamut coverage, contrast level, it's beating every BenQ product to be honest.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Absolutely love our Pro2s. They are beasts of light output and have exceptional contrast. Amazing cinema experience and gaming is very nice. Yeah you're limited to 60hz 4K but it's rare to get games much over that at 4K and good settings these days anyways. I know the c2 ultra is also good for gaming and has comparable cinema performance, but its software leaves a little to be desired for me.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Hisense c2 ultra. Can't go wrong with it!!!
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Just get c2 ultra, valerion vision pro 2 or nexigo tri vision ultra. Avoid other options Avoid comparing the specs in "paper" Use thehookup source material as your main source.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I currently have both and I'm going to keep the N1S 4K. It is much quieter than the C2, which is a priority in our bedroom because it is right above our heads. I find that the jmgo produces a more "cinematic" image, while the C2 produces a magnificent image that is closer to a television, but that's not what we're looking for. It's clear that the C2's image has more contrast, which is really beautiful. In a room with completely white walls, we use a motorised Nothingprojector Black Series screen. The fact that the JMGO is less bright is an advantage, but the C2 can also go quite low. For this type of projector to work with the ALR screen, we had to offset the video projector to avoid hot spots (we had a bright line that took up about 30% of the screen). I got the JMGO for 830€ and the C2 for 1300€. I am eagerly awaiting feedback on the Hisense M2 Pro, which will offer a real advantage with its optical zoom. We will see if it is quieter than the C2... If the C2 had been quiet, I think I would have chosen it and tried to calibrate it to get the image I like. It has more to offer!
r/projectors • View on Reddit →Neither does the C2 Ultra if you use the right screen or just matte paint on the wall. Funny how you are quick to call BS but don't bring any strong arguments to prove the contrary to my claim.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a Hisense C2 ultra on a 135" screen mostly at night and it's pretty fucking amazing.

r/projectors • View on Reddit →I've got the Hisense C2 ultra for gaming and movies. It's...great! Can't go wrong with this one!
r/projectors • View on Reddit →An ALR screen makes speckle 10 times worse so I would never use ALR with a triple laser projector. Rainbow effect is subjective, some people are prone to seeing it than others
r/projectors • View on Reddit →This is my situation.....I'm about 14 feet away and fill a 120 inch screen with the hisense c2 ultra....however at 14 feet the screen is closer to 150 inches and it has to use digital zoom etc to fit the screen but aren't we losing quality this way?? For example if I sit the c2 ultra about 8 feet away I get the natural 120" and technically wouldn't it be brighter and better? I don't want to use an expensive projector with cut down quality ifni need to use digital zoom to fit the screen ?
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I'd save up and get either a highsense c2 ultra, or a valerian pro 2. The valerian being more expensive but has slightly lower input lag and is GoogleTV based, while the highsense has a custom OS. Both have similar picture quality and solid reviews for gaming. I love my Valerion and may buy a C2 for the bedroom. So really can't go wrong with either!
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I got the Vidaa/Hisense C2 Ultra for $1500. I think the C3 Ultra is coming out soon though. Should be a small price bump. Xgimi Ultra Max was around $2000. The Chinese version has an extra 2.1 HDMI port.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I received the valerian visionmaster pro2 today and the light bleed was terrible. There's a high pitch buzzing noise that drove me mad . I dont have alr screens just a 100 inch matt white screen. I didn't like the picture quality of the valerian on my screen. The black levels on my jmgo n1s 4k on the same screen was better Adjusting dbl on the valerian did nothing.made no difference. The nebula x1 and hisense c2 ultra worked better on my setup but where too noisy My n1s4k is fantastic and on my screen had better black levels than the valerian but not the x1 . The n1s 4k is the most quietest projector I've owned. My valerian has been boxed back up for return .that buzzing noise drove me mad but the valerian did have a really sharp picture Maybe I would have needed a £3000 screen to make the most of the valerian but on my screen I enjoyed the jmgo n1s 4k more .a lot more. Don't believe the hype on these money grabbing sponsored youtube videos. The jmgo n1s is the real deal .I'm waiting on my delivery of the xgimi Horizon 20 pro next. Fingers crossed 🤞
r/projectors • View on Reddit →It's not loud, no. You'd have to be seated very close to it to hear its light fan whirl at all.
r/projectors • View on Reddit →I think its iffy to be honest. I love my projector, but there are definitely some drawbacks. Ambient light and placement are the real challenges you'll be navigating. Can you darken your room? If not, go TV. What's the space you'll be using it like? Have a dedicated setup or will you need to work around existing furniture? If you use a screen on a tripod, you'll inevitably be dealing with some issues getting the projector square with the screen. If you're fine using a lifestyle projector and throwing it on a blank wall, it's easier but you will sacrifice some clarity and color (with a pro of GREAT movability). If you want a mounted screen (ceiling or wall) then you'll likely need to think through wall or ceiling mounting the projector too. I love the lifestyle projectors as I can easily camp out with movies, take it to a friends for "the big game", or point it at the ceiling and play games from bed while laying on my back. Budget friendly options would be Highsense C2 Ultra, a lower budget Valerion, or a Nexigo Trivision Ultra. Im not an expert on UST options, but I'm sure someone can chime in with a few options. Pros for a TV: It's easy and you wont have to worry about light in the room. Cons: TV is now the focal point in the room. One thing to consider on "movie night", how are you about sound?
