Leica has introduced the new Cine Play 1 Plus projector to the European market, combining home cinema capabilities with features for gamers. The device offers 4K resolution, brightness of up to 4,200 ANSI lumens and a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz at lower resolutions. It also supports Dolby Vision, features a triple RGB laser light source and can project an image with a diagonal of up to 300 inches.
4200 ANSI lumens and image up to 300 inches
Leica Cine Play 1 Plus uses DLP technology with a 0.47-inch DMD and an XPR system, enabling a 3840 × 2160 pixel resolution. The manufacturer features a triple light source, an RGB laser, and a Leica Summicron lens, allowing projection from 65 to 300 inches.
The biggest improvement over its predecessor is brightness, which has increased from 3000 to 4200 ANSI lumens in Ultra mode. The quoted contrast ratio is 2000:1. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG.
240 Hz for gamers and built-in Smart TV
The new projector may also appeal to gamers. In 4K it supports refresh rates up to 60 Hz, while in Full HD the rate rises to 240 Hz. Leica also claims input lag below 12 ms at 1080p and 120 Hz.
The device is equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and 2 x 10 W stereo speakers with DTS Virtual support. It runs VIDAA 9.6, offering access to apps such as Netflix and Disney+.
How much does the Leica Cine Play 1 Plus cost?
The projector has already launched on selected European markets at a price of €2,995, around €500 less than the predecessor's launch price.
The manufacturer claims the laser light source has a lifespan of more than 25,000 hours. So far, an official price or availability in Poland has not been confirmed.
The Leica Cine Play 1 Plus could be an interesting alternative to very large TVs, especially for people who want cinema-sized images and the option to game on a big screen.
