The catch
Hisense PX3-PRO
Even with variable focus, UST geometry still depends heavily on your furniture.
Side by side
Hisense PX4 Pro vs PX3-PRO: With PX4, the screen plan grows from 150 to 200 inches
Quick verdict
The PX3-PRO fits when Google TV and a 150-inch ceiling cover your plan. For a brighter setup that can reach 200 inches, plus its adjustable iris and the newest gaming package, go with the PX4 Pro. Before picking either, measure the cabinet.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Published ANSI brightness: how big the gap is
The published “ANSI brightness” figure is 17% higher on Hisense PX4 Pro: 3,500 ANSI lumens, against 3,000 ANSI lumens on Hisense PX3-PRO.
Where this comes from
Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. The percentage comes from the lower published figure.
The catch
Hisense PX4 Pro
Careful cabinet and screen geometry is still required with the fixed 0.2:1 lens.
Hisense PX3-PRO
- Why pick it

- The catch

What this page compares
Hisense’s two premium triple-laser UST models, set side by side on screen range, smart platform, brightness and gaming.
This one comes down to published ansi brightness and image range first, then to the limits of your own setup.
Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
I am after a picture of 120 inches or larger
Hisense PX3-PRO lists “80–150 inches” for image range, while Hisense PX4 Pro lists “80–200 inches”. This affects image compatibility, placement or picture quality. Compare matching standards before you call either label the winner.

I want Netflix working from day one
Hisense PX3-PRO lists “Google TV” for smart platform, while Hisense PX4 Pro lists “VIDAA”. This shapes setup and day-to-day use more than the core physical job.

The living-room TV is what this will replace
A wall-side setup, verified Netflix access, useful speakers and enough output for a living-room screen all come together in it. A suitable UST screen may still be needed.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Published ANSI brightness: how big the gap is
The published “ANSI brightness” figure is 17% higher on Hisense PX4 Pro: 3,500 ANSI lumens, against 3,000 ANSI lumens on Hisense PX3-PRO.
How we worked this out
Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. The percentage comes from the lower published figure.
Where these two really part ways
Hisense PX3-PRO is the better match for “Family movie nights happen in our living room” and “The living-room TV is what this will replace”. Hisense PX4 Pro is the better match for “I am after a picture of 120 inches or larger”.
How we worked this out
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.
These needs do not split the pair
Both meet the same 4 of the 4 needs this comparison is built around, so the choice comes down to “published ansi brightness” and “image range”.
How we worked this out
Both products are checked against the same needs. The first verified differences still standing are named here.
Models that handle “It must sit directly below the screen” and “Fast or competitive games are what I play”
5 of the 90 home projectors checked handle both “It must sit directly below the screen” and “Fast or competitive games are what I play”. Both make the cut.
How we worked this out
You can reproduce the count by filtering the current category for models with a strong or useful fit on both needs.
Plug in your numbers
Will either projector work in your room?
This checks hard limits only. Personal preferences are left out of the math.
Hisense PX3-PRO
Does not work with your numbersFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.92 ft. You entered 9.50 ft.
Hisense PX4 Pro
Does not work with your numbersFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.74 ft. You entered 9.50 ft.
Measure distance from the lens to the screen. The math assumes a 16:9 picture and uses the verified throw range for each exact model.
With an ultra-short-throw model, the gap behind the cabinet is a separate measurement. Check the installation diagram for cabinet position, screen height and ventilation.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Hisense PX3-PRO | Hisense PX4 Pro | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Published ANSI brightness | 3,000 ANSI lumens | 3,500 ANSI lumens | Higher published output is useful only if your room, surface or workload calls for the extra headroom. It does not, by itself, prove better results. |
| Image range | 80–150 inches | 80–200 inches | It bears on image compatibility, placement or picture quality. Before you name either label the winner, compare the matching standards. |

Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Hisense PX3-PRO
- AWOL and JMGO quote ISO figures, so the specified 3,000 ANSI lumens shouldn't be compared with them directly.
With Hisense PX4 Pro
- Make sure VIDAA carries the apps for your services. ANSI brightness also can't be compared directly with ISO claims.
