Xiaomi has officially presented Laser Cinema 2 4K , a high-end projector that will certainly conquer cinema fans. Thanks to this device, in fact, it will be possible to recreate the cinematic experience directly inside your home. What makes this product special? This is a Dolby Vision compatible ultra-short-throw projector. Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 is an ultra-alignment projector and the first with 4K/Dolby Vision support. The projector peaks at 2,400 ANSI Lumens too, and can create images up to 200 inches.
Design
The design of the Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 4K is very similar to that of the previous models. The sleek projector would seem to fit perfectly into any setting. This is a fundamental feature: users will be able to enjoy their favorite films thanks to a premium product, without, however, “ruining” the environment. The dimensions are not large: 540 x 335 x 107 mm; while the weight is about 9 kg. The projector could therefore potentially also be placed on a simple table. Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 4K is compatible with MIUI for TV, an innovative interface available in Xiaomi Smart TVs. This software, therefore, allows users to access the numerous “smart” features often reserved for the latest generation televisions.
Features
Let’s go immediately to discover the technical specifications of this projector, with DLP technology. Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 is able to perfectly fill a surface of 100 inches with a distance of just 20 cm. Users can choose the size of the projected “screen”: from 40 ” up to 200″. To appreciate the best quality, however, it is recommended to stay in the 80-150 inch range. The device projects content up to 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels). Texas Instruments’ eXpanded Pixel Resolution (XPR) technology (found in many products, such as BenQ TK800) was used to achieve this resolution. What’s it about? Starting from the Full HD resolution, four pixels are displayed for each micromirror.
ALPD RB +, the laser source, guarantees a maximum brightness of 2,400 ANSI lumens (with a noise level below 30 dB). The projector is compatible with Dolby Vision (the subject will be dealt with in detail in a subsequent paragraph): this is a novelty for this segment. Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 4K – with 15 W stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos technology – is powered by the MediaTek MT9669 processor, flanked by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. The projector includes three HDMI 2.0 interfaces, two USB 2.0, S / PDIF, and Ethernet ports.
Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 4K is an ultra-short-throw projector with Dolby Vision. This HDR standard, developed by Dolby, has revolutionized televisions. Dolby Vision supports so-called dynamic metadata: it automatically adapts to every single frame of the content being played. Thanks to this technology it is possible to appreciate an incredible variety of colors and undertones. The images are detailed and refined.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi Laser Cinema 2 can create images between 40 and 200 inches, although Xiaomi only recommends using the projector for projections from 80 to 150 inches. According to the company, the Laser Cinema 2 peaks at 2,400 ANSI Lumens with a contrast ratio of 3,000:1. Supposedly, the projector covers 113% of the Rec.709 color space as well.
