Hisense is preparing the international release of its C3 series home projectors following an initial preview at IFA. The 4K lineup includes the C3 Pro, C3 Ultra, and C3 Ultra Max, capable of projecting displays up to 300 inches with brightness reaching 5000 ANSI lumens. While the higher tier units arrive globally this month, Hisense has not yet announced official retail pricing for any of the models.
All 3 projectors share native 4K resolution and a 5000:1 static contrast ratio. The primary difference across the family comes down to illumination output. The baseline C3 Pro delivers up to 3000 ANSI lumens. Stepping up to the C3 Ultra increases output to 4000 ANSI lumens. The flagship C3 Ultra Max pushes performance to 5000 ANSI lumens for bright room environments.
Lens capabilities also vary across the trio. The C3 Pro and C3 Ultra feature 1.6x optical zoom to assist with room placement. The C3 Ultra Max upgrades to a 2x optical zoom lens alongside a low input lag of 1ms. This ultra low latency makes the flagship model particularly appealing for console gaming on massive projection surfaces.
Audio performance is handled by a built in sound setup featuring an integrated subwoofer tuned in collaboration with acoustic specialist Devialet. This setup provides enough low end punch to eliminate the need for an external soundbar in casual home theater spaces. The C3 Ultra and C3 Ultra Max are scheduled to hit international store shelves this month, while release details for the entry C3 Pro will arrive later.
