The catch
Hisense PX3-PRO
Even with variable focus, UST geometry still depends heavily on your furniture.
Side by side
XGIMI MIRA vs Hisense PX3-PRO: Hisense goes past MIRA’s 120-inch ceiling
Quick verdict
If your screen is larger than 120 inches, choose the PX3-PRO. The MIRA fits a smaller media-unit installation that needs a shorter lens distance.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Confirm a 120-inch picture fits first
For a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the Hisense PX3-PRO needs 1.9 ft between lens and screen, and the XGIMI MIRA needs 1.5 ft.
Where this comes from
Width = diagonal × 16 / √337, which is 104.6 inches at 120 inches. Times each documented throw endpoint, divided by 12, that gives feet. Digital zoom, keystone, cabinet offset and lens-shift limits are not included.
The catch
XGIMI MIRA
Larger premium UST models are more flexible than its fixed 80 to 120-inch range.
Hisense PX3-PRO
- Why pick it
- You're planning a picture of 130 to 150 inches

XGIMI MIRA
- Why pick it
- Your screen won't be larger than 120 inches
- A shorter optical distance is needed for the media unit
- The catch
- Larger premium UST models are more flexible than its fixed 80 to 120-inch range.

What this page compares
A screen larger than 120 inches points to PX3-PRO, while MIRA suits a smaller media-unit installation that needs a shorter lens distance.
Your planned screen can rule out MIRA
Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
You're planning a picture of 130 to 150 inches
The PX3-PRO supports up to 150 inches and the MIRA lists 120. Begin with that constraint before comparing the rest of the feature list.
- Hisense PX3-PRO
- Better fit
- XGIMI MIRA
- Not suitable
Your screen won't be larger than 120 inches
Within the shared range up to 120 inches, both support the picture. Hisense's throw is 0.22 and MIRA's 0.175 is shorter, so furniture depth can decide the installation inside that range.

Allow 1.9 ft for the Hisense PX3-PRO or 1.5 ft for the XGIMI MIRA, taken from the lens. Cabinet and mounting clearances need checking separately.

I don't want to buy the wrong edition for streaming
Google TV is documented for the Hisense PX3-PRO and Smart platform for the XGIMI MIRA. Confirm the exact US model and the apps you need, rather than relying on a similar name or older generation.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Confirm a 120-inch picture fits first
For a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the Hisense PX3-PRO needs 1.9 ft between lens and screen, and the XGIMI MIRA needs 1.5 ft.
How we worked this out
Width = diagonal × 16 / √337, which is 104.6 inches at 120 inches. Times each documented throw endpoint, divided by 12, that gives feet. Digital zoom, keystone, cabinet offset and lens-shift limits are not included.
Treat the light ratings with their limits in mind
The Hisense PX3-PRO lists 3000 ANSI lumens and the XGIMI MIRA lists 2000 ISO. Because the labeled standards differ, no brightness multiplier is calculated.
How we worked this out
The inputs exactly as published are 3000 ANSI for Hisense PX3-PRO and 2000 ISO for XGIMI MIRA. A percentage is shown only inside the same labeled standard. Manufacturer methods, calibration and picture modes can still differ.
The larger model covers a much bigger screen area
At the same 16:9 shape, a 150-inch PX3-PRO setup has about 56% more image area than MIRA at its 120-inch maximum.
How we worked this out
150² / 120² - 1 = 56.25%. The figure is screen area and does not guarantee brightness at the larger size.
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.
XGIMI MIRA
Does not work with your numbersFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.53 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 | XGIMI MIRA | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optical throw ratio | 0.22 to 0.22 | 0.175 to 0.175 | Distance runs from the lens to the screen and is calculated from the image width. |
| Lens distance for 120 inches | 1.9 ft | 1.5 ft | The calculation assumes 16:9 and optical adjustment alone. Cabinet depth and cable clearance come on top. |
| Published image-size range | 80 to 150 in | 80 to 120 in | A supported maximum is no guarantee of a bright picture in your room. |
| Published light output | 3000 ANSI lumens | 2000 ISO lumens | You cannot swap one measurement standard or picture mode for another. |
| Display architecture | single-chip-dlp | single-chip-dlp | Viewers who are sensitive to rainbow flashes may care about single-chip sequential color. |
| Streaming platform | Google TV | Smart platform | Before you add a separate streamer, confirm the exact US edition and the apps you need. |
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 XGIMI MIRA
- A compact body doesn't remove the need for precise cabinet height and a flat wall or screen.
Decision guide
How to decide
PX3-PRO suits a screen larger than 120 inches. For a smaller media-unit installation that needs a shorter lens distance, MIRA is the fit.
Your planned screen can rule out MIRA
The PX3-PRO supports up to 150 inches and the MIRA lists 120. Begin with that constraint before comparing the rest of the feature list.
MIRA needs less distance at the same image sizes
At 0.175, its throw is shorter than the Hisense's 0.22. The lens-distance difference at 120 inches is about 4.7 inches, and cabinet position is checked separately.
Both offer a familiar way to stream
Both models are documented with Google TV and native Netflix. Since they share the app platform, screen size and physical placement are the stronger deciding factors.
What this page can’t tell you
- Published optical ranges and a 16:9 picture feed the throw calculations. Treat them as no replacement for the exact installation diagram.
- A matched real-room picture-quality result can't be drawn from published lumens, contrast and latency.
