Hisense is back with another novelty – a home projector that looks like it costs 10,000 but is priced like a good audio set. Vidda C3 Ultra is a new model from the Tri-Chroma series that has just appeared in China. If it follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the global premiere is just a matter of time. And hopefully as soon as possible.
Brightness? Almost like the sun (or a very strong flashlight)
On C3 Ultra paper, it pumps out 3,200 CVIA lumens – this is a Chinese standard that differs slightly from ANSI or ISO. In conversion, this amounts to about 2,600 ANSI lumens, which is more than enough for daytime viewing, without drawing the blinds. And all of this is thanks to the MCL39 laser, which combines two red lasers with one blue and one green, improving color quality and light efficiency.
Image? 150 inches from three meters, 4K without loss of quality
The projector is based on DLP technology with a 0.47” DMD chip, has 1.67x optical zoom, and will easily display 150 inches from just under 3.1 m. Or 100 inches from 2 m. No fussing with sharpness – autofocus, auto-keystone, fit-to-screen, and dynamic color matching are all included.
Additionally, full coverage of 110% BT.2020, color accuracy (Delta E) that surpasses most LEDs, LCDs, and even OLEDs, as well as support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced.
System and Interior – AI, JBL, and Power Reserve
Under the hood sits MediaTek MT9681, 8 GB RAM, and as much as 128 GB of storage – enough to not worry about apps or updates. It most likely runs on VIDAA OS, but if it goes global, it might come with Google TV.
There's also AI from DeepSeek – a voice assistant that searches for content, answers questions, and helps with operation. And how about sound? Two JBL speakers at 10 W + 200 W subwoofer with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X do their job.
Connectivity? Everything You Need
Vidda C3 Ultra is a projector that – for its segment – offers truly impressive connectivity options. On board, we find Wi-Fi 7, the latest standard providing faster and more stable internet connections, even under heavy network loads. Additionally, there is Bluetooth 5.4, which guarantees energy-efficient and reliable connections with wireless headphones, speakers, or controllers.
When it comes to wired connections, there is also nothing to complain about. The projector is equipped with a HDMI 2.1 port with eARC, which means full support for spatial audio in the highest quality – without an additional audio cable. For those who prefer a wired internet connection, there is a 1 Gb/s Ethernet port, and as a bonus, two USB Type A ports that allow for the connection of external storage devices or accessories.
And now the most important thing: price
In China, the Vidda C3 Ultra is priced at 11,999 yuan, which translates to about 7,000 zlotys. For a projector with a laser light source, 4K resolution, support for Dolby Vision, and powerful JBL sound – this is truly an attractive offer. If Hisense decides to release this model globally, it could significantly shake up the home projector market.
