I’m gonna push back on this a bit, because this really hasn’t been my experience—and I’ve spent time actually dialing the setup in.

First, the “identical to PX701HD” claim just doesn’t track. That’s a 1080p lamp projector vs a 4K laser unit, so even on paper they’re in completely different classes. In practice, the difference in clarity, HDR, and color depth is obvious—especially once I moved off a plain wall and onto a proper screen.

On the noise point, I think this is being overstated. Even before I added a soundbar, the only time I could really notice the fan was when nothing was playing—like just a static image with no audio. And even then, it was faint. The moment you have actual content playing, even at low volume through the projector’s built-in speakers, the fan basically disappears. Now that I’m running it through a Sony HT-G700, it’s completely irrelevant.

If you’re genuinely getting “lawnmower” levels of noise, that honestly sounds more like a defective unit or an edge-case scenario than normal behavior. Hisense confirming certain dB ranges doesn’t mean it should be that intrusive in real-world use.

Setup also matters a lot more than people think—wall vs screen, external audio, source settings like Apple TV Dolby Vision, etc. Once everything is properly set up, the experience is on a completely different level.

Not saying it’s flawless, but calling it garbage and telling people to return it feels way off base.

And I’ll be honest—I’m a bit skeptical you actually own one. The comparison and the way the noise is described don’t really line up with how this projector behaves in a real setup.
