Buying call

The Hisense C1 is a compact 4K laser projector with a built-in stand, full streaming apps, solid built-in audio and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Setup is quick and the picture is sharp and punchy. Colors run oversaturated, dark scenes struggle, and some viewers will spot rainbow artifacts.
