Hisense has launched the Xplorer X1 Pro laser TV series in China, offering 100-inch and 120-inch models designed to deliver a large-screen home theater experience without the complexity of traditional projector setups.

The lineup starts at 34,999 yuan ($5,145) for the 100-inch version, while the 120-inch model is priced at 49,999 yuan ($7,351). The launch arrives following last year’s Xplorer X1 Ultra release.

Hisense Xplorer X1 Pro Specifications

The Xplorer X1 Pro relies on Hisense’s CineCore light engine, utilizing an RGB triple-color laser and a DLP digital projection architecture. According to Hisense, this setup improves light transmission efficiency by 12% compared to its previous hardware. The projector outputs a native 4K resolution and covers 110% of the BT.2020 color space, with a Delta E color accuracy rating of 0.6. It also includes support for IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode.

To handle ambient room light, Hisense includes a custom nano-spectral selective screen. The screen is engineered to absorb environmental light while reflecting the specific RGB wavelengths from the projector, which helps maintain contrast during daytime viewing. The screen panel is 3cm thick and can be folded for easier transport and installation. When paired with the projector, the system reaches up to 600 nits of sustained full-screen brightness.

For audio, the TV features a built-in 6.1.2-channel distributed surround sound system tuned by Harman Kardon. The setup includes nine speakers with a combined 120W of power, plus a dedicated wireless subwoofer that reaches down to 33Hz. The system also uses screen-emitting audio technology, which vibrates the display surface to produce sound, aiming to align dialogue more closely with the actors on screen. It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding.

Internally, the projector is powered by a MediaTek MT9649 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and three HDMI 2.1 ports. However, the video output is capped at 4K at 60Hz, meaning it will not support the 120Hz refresh rates offered by current-generation gaming consoles.

The main projector unit features a brown and gold exterior and sits on a concealed gimbal, which allows users to adjust the projection angle to fit different TV cabinets.

Hisense, the China-based company known for making TVs, has now announced the world’s first rollable screen laser TV. The announcement was made by the company at the 3rd Global Laser Display Technology and Industry Development Forum.

While unveiling the new TV, Yu Zhitao, Vice President of Hisense Group Holding Company, said: “Laser display is actually a set of space solutions. Hisense’s world’s first rollable screen laser TV is just the beginning.”

This new Hisense Laser TV with a rollable screen features a big 77-inch display panel and is powered by the company’s own rolling or curled screen technology and full-color laser technology. It supports 4K ultra-high HDR resolution, 107% BT.2020 ultra-wide color gamut, and 350nits  of peak brightness.

In terms of design, there are virtually no bezels on the side of the screen but there’s a bezel on the top and a thicker bezel at the bottom. So far, Hisense has applied for more than 70 patents related to this curling screen laser TV.

It features Transvision visual engine and Harmon Kardon speakers for a theatre-grade audio experience. So, the company says that when the screen is rolled out, it gives a theatre-like experience and when it’s rolled down, it acts like an opera house.

The product is built using aviation-grade high-tech materials and meets the flexibility requirements of curling as well as the stiffness requirements for flatness at the same time. The theatre-grade audio, tuned by the Harmon Cardon Golden Ear team, comes with support for Dolby sound effects DTS dual decoding.

Currently, this new Hisense Rollable Screen Laser TV is available for booking on JD.com but the company has not yet revealed its pricing or availability details. If you are interested, then the product can be booked for just 1 yuan. Based on the previous announcement from the company, it’s likely that the device will go on sale later this year.
