Hisense is really taking the “big screen, big value” mantra of its 2024 TV lineup to heart. After unveiling the shockingly bright U9N Mini-LED TV earlier this year, now the company is launching a successor to the Hisense PL1 Laser TV capable of near-4k resolution with displays up to 150 inches wide, NotebookCheck reports. Best of all, it's launching later this month in Europe.
Unlike its more traditional TVs, Hisense's laser TVs are ultra-short throw projectors that play your favorite movies and shows across the best streaming services on a matching specialist projector screen available in preset sizes. The original Hisense PL1 Laser TV came in projection sizes up to 120 inches, so that's a substantial leap for the second generation.
But a bigger screen isn't the only improvement. The new Hisense PL2 has a lower throw ratio (0.22 compared to 0.25 on the PL1), meaning you can set it up more flush with the wall. For example, to display an 80-inch image, it'd only need to be about 4.5 inches from the wall, while a 150-inch image would need about 18 inches of room.
The Hisense PL2 Laser TV will launch in the EU sometime later this month with a price tag of €2,499. A U.S. release has not yet been announced, but if Hisense follows the same playbook it did with the PL1's launch, we could see one in a few months time.
