Xiaomi has launched a new premium projector in China called ‘Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2’. It is the world’s first projector to support Dolby Vision at 4K. The product will be going on sale for the first time at a special discounted price during the Double Eleven shopping festival.
Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 Specifications and Features
The newly unveiled Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 can project a screen of 100-inch from a distance of 20cm away from the wall. However, it is worth noting that it can be adjusted to project a screen size of 40 to 200 inches. But the company recommends using 80 to 150 inches.
The projector is capable of outputting 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) content with a 3000:1 contrast ratio. It not only covers 113% of Rec.709 color gamut but also supports HDR standards like HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
The projector is rated to output light of 2400 ANSI Lumens. It also uses ALPD RB+ technology (inclusion of red laser) to offer better colors. Additionally, it also supports MEMC (60Hz).
Talking about performance, it is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek MT9669 SoC whose quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU is clocked at 1.9GHz. The chipset is paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. It also comes with technologies like ‘AI Image Enhancement’ for noise reduction.
The device runs MIUI for TV with all the features and content found on Xiaomi and Redmi smart TVs. In fact, it even has far-field microphones for Xiao AI virtual assistant, in addition to 30W speakers (2 x 15W units) with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS Sound.
As far as ports are concerned, the projector arrives with 3 x HDMI 2.0b, 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x S/PDIF, 1 x headphone out, and an Ethernet.
Last but not least, the device has a ≤30dB fan to lower thermals and it also features a sensor for human detection to avoid any harm to the eyes.
