Two ultra short throw 4K laser projectors: triple-laser brightness against Dolby Vision and Google TV.
Updated 2026
Verdict
Buy the Hisense PX3-PRO for the brighter picture (3,000 lumens) and triple-laser color with a 110 percent BT.2020 gamut. Buy the XGIMI AURA 2 for Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, Google TV with licensed Netflix and built-in Harman Kardon sound. Both are 4K ultra short throw projectors that sit close to the wall.

The table compares light source, brightness, contrast, screen size, HDR and platform; lumens from different brands are not directly comparable, so check measured reviews for your room.
You have a room with some ambient light, want the most vivid color from a triple laser and plan a 100 to 150 inch screen.
Check Hisense PX3-PRO on Amazon
You want Dolby Vision, a Google TV interface with licensed Netflix, and decent built-in speakers so you can start without a receiver.
You can control light and want the best contrast and black levels. A dedicated long-throw home theater projector in a dark room will beat both for the same money.
Ultra short throw projectors work best with an ambient light rejecting (ALR) UST screen. A plain white wall will show unevenness.
Ultra short throw projectors sit inches from the wall. Check each model throw ratio before choosing furniture.
The Hisense lists 3,000 lumens against 2,300 ISO lumens for the XGIMI, but lumen methods differ between brands.
The XGIMI lists 20 ms latency and MEMC. Check Hisense specifications for its latency figures.
