Leica has launched a new projector, the Cine Play 1 Plus, on the European market, combining home cinema capabilities with gaming features. The device offers 4K resolution, a 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.
4,200 ANSI lumens and an image up to 300 inches
Leica Cine Play 1 Plus uses DLP technology with a 0.47-inch DMD and XPR system, allowing it to achieve a 3840 × 2160 pixel resolution. The manufacturer employs a triple light source, an RGB laser, and a Leica Summicron lens, enabling image sizes from 65 to 300 inches.
The biggest improvement over its predecessor is brightness, which has increased from 3,000 to 4,200 ANSI lumens in Ultra mode. The specified 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 interest gamers. At 4K resolution it supports refresh rates up to 60 Hz, whereas in Full HD the rate rises to 240 Hz. Leica also claims input lag below 12 ms at 1080p and 120 Hz.
The unit is equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and 2 × 10 W stereo speakers with DTS Virtual support. It runs on the VIDAA 9.6 system, providing access to apps such as Netflix and Disney+.
How much does the Leica Cine Play 1 Plus cost?
The projector has already reached selected European markets priced at €2,995, roughly €500 less than the predecessor's launch price.
The manufacturer claims the laser light source has a lifespan of over 25,000 hours. So far there has been no official confirmation of the device's price or availability in Poland.
The Leica Cine Play 1 Plus could be an interesting alternative to large TVs, especially for those who want cinema-sized images and gaming on a big screen.
