Leica has launched the new Cine Play 1 Plus projector in Europe, combining home cinema capabilities with features for gamers. The device offers 4K resolution, brightness reaching 4,200 ANSI lumens, and refresh rates up to 240 Hz at lower resolutions. It also supports Dolby Vision, uses a triple RGB laser light source, and can project an image up to a 300-inch diagonal.
4200 ANSI lumens and an image up to 300 inches
Leica Cine Play 1 Plus uses DLP technology with a 0.47-inch chip and an XPR system, allowing it to achieve a 3840 × 2160 pixel resolution. The manufacturer used a triple light source (an RGB laser) and fitted a Leica Summicron lens, enabling a projected image size from 65 to 300 inches.
The biggest improvement over its predecessor is brightness, which increased from 3000 to 4200 ANSI lumens in Ultra mode. The claimed 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 could also appeal to gamers. At 4K it supports refresh rates up to 60 Hz, while in Full HD the rate rises to 240 Hz. Leica also reports input lag under 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 × 10 W stereo speakers with DTS Virtual support. The system runs on VIDAA 9.6, providing access to apps such as Netflix and Disney+.
How much does the Leica Cine Play 1 Plus cost?
The projector has already arrived on selected European markets at a price of €2,995, about €500 less than the predecessor’s launch price.
The manufacturer claims the laser light source will last more than 25,000 hours. So far no official price or availability in Poland has been confirmed.
The Leica Cine Play 1 Plus could be an interesting alternative to large TVs, especially for people who want cinema-sized images and the ability to game on a big screen.
