Hisense unveiled its latest L9 series laser TV, the L9Q, at CES 2025. The “TV” (an ultra-short throw laser projector combined with a screen) is available with one of five screen sizes, ranging from 100 to 150 inches. The L9Q is the first in the series to feature automatic screen alignment to make the transition easier when projecting onto a different sized screen.
The L9Q uses a proprietary Hisense triple-laser lighting engine, which helps the TV achieve 110% of the BT.2020 (aka Rec. 2020) color space – a good omen for lifelike colors that pop. This model also improves on the brightness of previous models, reaching up to 5,000 lumens and a contrast ratio of 5,000:1.
The laser projector’s coupled ambient light rejection (ALR) screen is available in five sizes: 100, 110, 120, 136, and 150 inches. (ALR screens tend to have better contrast and viewing angles in brightly lit environments.) In addition to automatic screen alignment, the projector has manual keystone correction to adjust for proportional irregularities of the image.
Hisense claims the L9Q is the first laser TV with a 6.2.2 surround sound system. It supports Dolby AtmosVirtual DTS eARC audio technologies.
The spotlight features a “stylish black walnut decorative panel” with brushed metal finishes. It has HDMI 2.1 and supports Wi-Fi 6E and NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) for broadcast channels. He runs Google TV and can be controlled by Google Assistant, Alexa and Apple HomeKit.
Hisense has not yet shared a launch date or pricing information. But for the uninitiated, high-end laser TVs like this don’t come cheap – usually retail for at least several thousand dollars.
