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 M2 Pro ist ein kompakter Triple-Laser-Beamer mit scharfem 4K-Bild per Pixel-Shift, kräftigen Farben und leisem Lüfter. Dazu kommen ein seltener optischer Zoom mit Faktor 1,3 und offizielles Netflix auf Vidaa. Gemessene 1.355 bis 1.500 Lumen reichen aber nur für abgedunkelte Räume, und der einzige HDMI-Eingang wird schnell zum Engpass.
Pros
- Scharfes, detailreiches 4K-Bild per Pixel-Shift auf normalem Sitzabstand
- Optischer 1,3-fach-Zoom, motorisch per Fernbedienung, ideal für Deckenmontage
- Im Spielmodus mit DLP-Turbo nur 17 bis 18 ms Eingabeverzögerung
- Leiser Lüfter mit 22 bis 28 dB bei normaler Raumtemperatur
- Netflix, Disney+ und Apple TV offiziell auf flottem Vidaa-System
- Triple-Laser deckt 99,1 % DCI-P3 ab, kräftige Farben
Cons
- Mit rund 1.355 bis 1.500 Lumen bei Tageslicht verblasst das Bild
- Nur ein HDMI-Eingang, mit Soundbar an eARC kein Platz für Zuspieler
- Werbebanner auf der Startseite und beim Wechsel der Bildmodi
- Nativer Kontrast 1.000:1, Schwarz bleibt dunkles Grau
- Kein VRR, kein 4K mit 120 Hz, kein Lens Shift
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
