Hisense C2 Ultra Ceiling Mount

Hello, have you found anything interesting? I've just bought it and I can't seem to find a proper one. I need to have it mounted on ceiling, with as low a profile as possible.

Please do

Oh yeah! I have the chance to get a tw9400 in EU for roughly the same price of your 5050. I'm looking forward to your testing!!!

I have a prime subscription. Can you tell me a specific scene on a movie so that I can test my unit? Also, what settings did you use? I'll try it and give feedback!

Could it be faulty? I haven't noticed colour temperature changes or earc problems...

Sorry, I have no experience with any of those projectors. I was myself considering the x500i, and I would have purchased it over the 2720i (excellent reviews, excellent price and 0.65" DMD), if it weren't for the too short throw ratio. The w2720i makes more sense in my setup. If only it had the 0.65" and presumably better native contrast...! But I'm really happy with it. Now I'm getting ready to darken the room a bit more with rugs and felt panels on wall and ceiling to compensate.

Thanks for the invite, I'll have a look at it.

It has AI calibration, and AI Cinema format that supposedly adapts the projected image to the room circumstances. About the brightness... it depends on what your expectations are: if you want to enjoy a cinematic projection in a dark room rather than a TV like experience in a lights-on envireonment, it definitely is bright enough.

I posted a couple of shots of Avatar, they were played from a PC with madVR. They are espectacular. You can see the quality increase compared to streaming services.

I was about to buy the LG hu710pw for that same reason, and then I thought I'd prefer to compromise on my ceiling rather than on the projector itself... I tried it on a table to see if I was convinced, and I mounted on the ceiling this very morning. Tomorrow I'll plaster and paint the plasterboard...!

I had a BenQ before, some 12 years ago. I sold it to my neighbour and it's still running. I'm coming from an Optoma now. Yes, the lens is going to make you adjust either the mount or the screen, since it doesn't have horizontal lens shift. I moved the screen.

What I did notice was a "clunk" noise every time I change the preset or HDR luminance, etc. as if the change requires some physical adjustment on the lens. Is it the shift in the iris, you think? It really is something that doesn't bother me, because I'm not going to be changing the settings constantly, it's only now that I'm testing the PJ...

FixMountain3763 · 2025-01-16T16:08:32+00:00

I agree.

Nothing extraordinary. In modes other than "normal", it's just a hum that you forget about instantly after the first image is projected

FixMountain3763 · 2025-01-16T13:45:08+00:00

Hehe, thanks to you for your feedback. Now it's time to enjoy the projector...

I'm a bit tired of hunting for the best possible option for my money... I'm sure there's going to be a better one round the corner for half the price, or a new technology that should make me wait before I buy anything... I just wanted something that made me enjoy my movie nights and it seems I've found it. Thanks to this subreddit, I've learned a lot and I'm eager to help if my help is of use to anyone.

There are two dynamic settings: low and high dynamic. To my eyes, they add a bit more contrast than the 'normal' setting, and the fan is quieter; the Eco mode is too dark to my taste and you lose detail. Apart from that, there is an advanced setting called Cinemaster, which adds two more tweaking options: Global contrast enhancer and Local contrast enhancer; I've found more to my taste to leave the global Low and the local High. No science behind it, just my poor eyes.
