Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Hisense C3 ist ein kompakter Triple-Laser-Beamer mit Schwenksockel, der im abgedunkelten Raum ein farbstarkes, scharfes 4K-Bild zeigt. Optischer Zoom, Autofokus und offizielles Netflix machen ihn flexibel an wechselnden Orten, mit 2.050 bis 2.150 Lumen reicht er für Bildbreiten bis 4,20 m. Der Haken: Schwarz bleibt grau, und für helle Wohnzimmer ist er zu lichtschwach.
Pros
- Triple-Laser deckt Rec.709 voll und Rec.2020 zu rund 99 % ab
- Ehrliche Helligkeit: kalibriert 2.050 bis 2.150 von 2.500 Lumen
- Optischer Zoom 1,0 bis 1,3:1 per Fernbedienung ohne Schärfeverlust
- 4K mit 60 Hz bei 20 bis 25 ms Input Lag
- Schwenksockel und Autofokus richten das Bild in Minuten ein
- Netflix offiziell unter VIDAA, dazu Dolby Vision und HDR10+
Cons
- Schwarzwert schwach: Schachbrett-Kontrast nur 372:1, Balken bleiben dunkelgrau
- Lüfter bei warmem Raum laut: bis 39 dB bei 35 °C
- Kein Lens Shift, Trapezkorrektur kostet Schärfe
- 4K nur mit 60 Hz, 120 Hz erst in Full HD
- Werbung auf der VIDAA-Startseite lässt sich nicht ganz abschalten
Der Samsung The Premiere 5 ist ein kompakter Ultrakurzdistanz-Beamer, der aus 43 cm Abstand 100 Zoll an die Wand wirft. Er bringt guten Klang, Netflix ohne Stick und eine Touch-Projektion auf dem Tisch, die vor allem Kindern Spaß macht. Der Haken: Full HD mit 560 ISO-Lumen reicht nur bei Dunkelheit, und mit 140 ms Input Lag taugt er kaum für schnelle Spiele.
Pros
- 100 Zoll Bild aus nur 43 cm Wandabstand
- Kräftiger, klarer Klang aus 10 W Stereolautsprechern
- Farbtreu mit ΔE unter 1,5 und voller DCI-P3-Abdeckung
- Mit 1,8 kg leicht von Raum zu Raum zu tragen
- Offizielle Netflix-App und große Streamingdienste unter Tizen
- Leiser Lüfter mit 28 dB
Cons
- Mit 560 ISO-Lumen bei Tageslicht blass
- Nur natives Full HD, Bild eher weich an Kanten
- 140 ms Input Lag und 60 Hz, ungeeignet für schnelle Spiele
- Touch-Erkennung startet nur auf matten Flächen bei gedämpftem Licht
- Nur Micro-HDMI 1.4, passendes Kabel liegt nicht bei
