Hisense has introduced two new models of Laser TVs in China: the Laser TV Discovery X1 and the Laser TV Discovery X1 Ultra. The Discovery X1 seems to be a tailored version of the L9Q TriChroma Laser projector made for this specific market. The original Hisense L9Q was first shown at CES 2025 and is now ready for pre-orders on the company’s online platform in the United States.
Specifications of the Discovery X1
The Hisense Laser TV Discovery X1 comes in two sizes: 92 inches and 100 inches. It features the MCL39 laser light source, which claims to provide brightness levels of up to 600 nits. For reference, the L9Q was announced to have a peak brightness of 5,000 ANSI lumens during its CES 2025 reveal. This 4K DLP projector is said to cover 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut and includes modes like IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode. Additionally, it boasts a built-in 7.1.2-channel Harman Kardon audio system that supports Dolby Atmos.
Features of the Discovery X1 Ultra
On the other hand, the Hisense Laser TV Discovery X1 Ultra is available in sizes of 100 inches and 120 inches. There are plans to launch larger 139-inch and 150-inch models in China this coming September. While it also uses the same laser light source, it is reported to reach brightness levels of up to 1,000 nits. Many features are shared with the standard Discovery X1, but it upgrades to a 9.1.4 channel sound system from Harman Kardon, also compatible with Dolby Atmos.
Pricing details for Hisense’s Laser TV Discovery X1 begin at CNY 21,999 (around $3,051). In contrast, the Laser TV Discovery X1 Ultra starts at CNY 49,999 (approximately $6,935). In the United States, the Hisense L9Q Triple Laser 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector is listed at $5,999.99.
