The Hisense PX4-PRO is a premium ultra-short-throw pixel-shift 4k projector. It uses DLP imaging technology with an RGB triple-laser source. Newer than the Hisense PX3-PRO, it competes with other high-end UST projectors, like the AWOL Vision Aetherion Pro and the AWOL Vision Aetherion Max. It's designed for home theater setups as a larger alternative to TVs, supporting screen sizes from 80 to 200 inches. It's meant to excel in any environment thanks to its 7-level Iris lens that deepens blacks, and it's advertised to deliver up to 3500 ANSI lumens, making it easier to see in bright rooms. It's feature-filled with Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced support, Dolby Atmos sound, and connectivity options like Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7. It also comes with the VIDAA smart system to stream content. Plus, it has built-in Devialet 66W speakers and has HDMI eARC support if you prefer connecting a soundbar. Besides that, it includes perks for gaming, like HDMI 2.1 ports alongside FreeSync Premium variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing.
Our Verdict
The Hisense PX4-PRO is good for home theater setups. With fantastic contrast in dark scenes, it displays deep blacks, but the black levels are raised in brighter scenes. It also displays a wide range of colors for a vivid viewing experience, but you'll need to calibrate it for the best image. Besides that, it removes judder from most sources, except 25p content from sources that don't match the content's frame rate. Its fan is quiet enough that it won't disturb you when watching movies. A downside is that it has a noticeable rainbow effect (RBE), which is problematic if you're sensitive to it.

The Hisense PX4-PRO is unremarkable for outdoor setups. It's a UST projector that's meant to sit in one place, as it's heavy and doesn't have many features to help you quickly set it up with a screen outdoors. It has keystone adjustments that don't always work, and it lacks optical zoom or lens shift to get a cleaner image if the projector isn't centered with the screen. It at least gets very bright, so you can watch content even with some ambient light around.
Bright enough for ambient lighting.
Heavy projector with minimal adjustments; no optical zoom or lens shift.
Keystone adjustment doesn't always work as intended.
The Hisense PX4-PRO is disappointing for bedroom setups. It's heavy to bring to the bedroom for an impromptu movie night, and it has minimal settings to help you set it up. Even its keystone adjustments don't always work as intended. On the plus side, its quiet fan ensures you won't have to crank the volume up much to listen to your favorite show or movie.

The Hisense PX4-PRO is amazing for gaming. Its DLP imaging technology ensures there's minimal motion blur, and it has low input lag in its Game Mode for an extremely responsive feel. It also supports native 4k @ 60Hz, downscaled 4k @ 120Hz, and 1080p @ 240Hz signals, offering versatility for different types of games. Plus, it has variable refresh rate (VRR) support and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to make full use of modern gaming consoles and PCs. Lastly, it delivers great picture quality with its deep blacks, good brightness, and vivid colors, so even HDR games look fantastic.

The Hisense PX4-PRO has good brightness. You can still see the image in rooms with ambient lighting, although visibility can be an issue in a sunny environment. It's not the most uniform, though, as the edges are just a bit brighter than the center.

Popular Projector Comparisons
The Hisense PX4-PRO is a high-end ultra-short-throw projector with DLP imaging technology and pixel-shift 4k. It's well-rounded with its high contrast for deep blacks in dark scenes, high brightness, and vivid colors that deliver a punchy viewing experience. It also includes useful gaming features, like refresh rates as high as 240Hz with a 1080p resolution, VRR support to reduce screen tearing, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take advantage of the latest gaming consoles and PCs. Overall, it's an upgrade over the older Hisense PX3-PRO thanks to its lower input lag for gaming and improved contrast.
Its all-around performance and features put it in line with other high-end UST projectors, like the AWOL Vision Aetherion Pro. However, it's a step back from the higher-end AWOL Vision Aetherion Max, which gets brighter and has better contrast, particularly in bright scenes, so the Hisense doesn't deliver the best picture quality in the market. Keep in mind that it's expensive, but there are trade-offs as you move down price categories, as cheaper projectors, like the AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro, tend to have worse contrast and brightness.
