TechRadar Verdict
The Hisense PX3-Pro is a worthy successor to its PX2-Pro predecessor.
Its upgraded brightness is a big benefit and helps make its stunning color enjoyable in various room lighting conditions.
Gamers also get a huge upgrade with its new 240Hz mode.
The Hisense PX3-Pro comes with a full-size remote control and features the Google TV smart TV platform for streaming
Like the rest of the Hisense PX series, the PX3-Pro doesnt come with a projection screen.
The front also gets a perforated grille for the built-in speakers.
This may appeal to some, but I found it a little tacky compared to the PX2-Pros subtler design.
The PX3-Pro features dual HDMI 2.1 ports and supports gaming at 1080p/240Hz
Style aside, perhaps the most critical design change is the projectors size.
Its a little wider and taller than its predecessors, but not as deep front-to-back.
The PX3-Pro sits on four height-adjustable feet, which helps get the picture aligned with a screen.
The PX3-Pro’s Google TV smart interface
It also offers digital image correction and adjustable focus, letting you dial in everything perfectly.
Around the back, youll find three HDMI ports, including one with eARC.
The Hisense PX3-Pro has comprehensive high dynamic range support, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
Unlike its predecessors, the PX3-Pro offers Active 3D support (requires optional 3D eyewear).
There are still a few features the PX3-Pro could have benefitted from.
A cover would be a more reasonable one, as dust can gather quickly on top of UST projectors.
The only odd behavior I noted was a sudden brightening when white subtitles appeared onscreen during dark scenes.
The PX3-Pro serves up a big, bright 4K picture ranging from 80 to 150 inches.
For gamers, the Hisense PX3-Pro has something extra special in store.
This sacrifices some picture detail but provides buttery smooth visuals, and the DLP system has minimal ghosting.
The gameplay is highly responsive and a big perk.
Audio on the PX3-Pro isnt half-bad either.
What it really lacks is the spatial aspect.
The stereo separation isnt very wide, and there are no side, rear, or height channels.
Hisense PX3-Pro review: value
The Hisense PX3-Pro doesnt come cheap at $3,499.
But the PX3-Pro brings a lot to the table.
It has enough brightness and detail to comfortably stretch its 4K picture to massive proportions.
Should I buy the Hisense PX3-Pro?
If you want flexibility, this projector has it.
If you expect to do mostly bright-room viewing, the Epson LS800 is better up to the task.
But some other UST projectors cost less and are still absolutely fantastic for viewing in dark home theater rooms.

has lower brightness but currently costs at least $1,000 less.
This makes it a great option for daytime sports viewing and it also has good built-in sound.
Also, its 40W sound system is a beast in its own right.

The projector was tested both against a bare, white wall and anAkia Screens CineWhite screen.
It was presented with standard definition and 4K HDR streamed content, and PC gameplay.
I have been testing projectors since 2021 and displays for even longer.
