A few years ago, I first encountered laser TV technology at an exhibition. Back then, I thought it was still a distant concept, mainly due to its high price. Later, I tried out a particular brand’s laser TV with a massive 100-inch screen. Comparing it to my 55-inch TV at home, I found the difference striking—almost jaw-dropping!
Recently, Xiaomi launched its Mi Laser Projector TV priced at 9,999 yuan. Suddenly, something that seemed unattainable was now within reach. I started thinking seriously about incorporating this "big" TV into my home.
The Mi Laser Projector TV doesn’t require any installation beyond placing it in a suitable spot. However, if you opt for a light curtain, professional installation might be necessary. Aligning the projection screen and anti-light curtain properly is crucial, and once fixed, moving them around can be cumbersome. Frequent adjustments are often required, which can be time-consuming.
Unlike some other laser TVs, the Mi Laser Projector TV only needs a plain white wall to work. When comparing it to other models on the market, I noticed that it's both compact and lightweight. This makes it incredibly flexible—you can easily move it from your living room to your bedroom. For someone like me, who rents their home, this flexibility is a huge plus.
Compared to traditional projectors, the Mi Laser Projector TV demands minimal setup. It doesn’t require complicated wiring, preserving the aesthetic of your home decor. It features HDMI and optical audio output interfaces, allowing seamless integration with other audio and video devices. Cables can be neatly tucked away without cluttering your space. If you plan to mount it, though, you’ll need to consider power supply options during renovation.
Once powered on, you can fine-tune the screen using the foot pads on either side and the built-in electric focus adjustment and trapezoidal correction functions. If precision isn’t critical, you can complete the setup quickly.
The viewing experience is significantly impacted by ambient lighting. Even laser TVs with anti-light curtains suffer in bright environments. During the day, the viewing quality tends to diminish noticeably. This isn't ideal unless you're willing to darken the room.
When compared to LCD TVs, the standout feature of laser TVs is their large screen size. While they may fall short in terms of brightness and contrast, they excel in creating a cinematic atmosphere. Given that most users watch movies in darkened rooms, the brightness is generally sufficient.
If you’re concerned about the Mi Laser Projector TV’s brightness, you could consider using a light-resistant screen. Avoid soft screens as they don’t handle ultra-short throw projections well—they can distort images. Hard screens are costly, sometimes more than the TV itself. Perhaps Xiaomi will introduce a budget-friendly option in the future.
For laser TVs, projecting a 100-inch screen is straightforward with just a large wall. At 120 inches, the screen height reaches approximately 1.5 meters, which is manageable with standard furniture. With a projection ratio of 0.2333:1, the distance between the Mi Laser Projector TV and the wall should be around 60 cm, which might feel cramped on typical TV stands.
For renters, moving a large TV is a hassle. Disassembling and transporting it risks damage. The Mi Laser Projector TV eliminates these concerns—it can simply be packed into a box and transported. While micro-projectors under 5,000 yuan exist, they demand specific placement and distance requirements, making them less convenient than ultra-short throw projectors.
The price barrier has been broken too. Previously, laser TVs started at 20,000 yuan. The Mi Laser Projector TV brought the cost down to 9,999 yuan, equivalent to high-end 65-inch LCD TVs. Including accessories like a light curtain, amplifier, and 5.1-channel audio, the total remains under 20,000 yuan.
While the Mi Laser Projector TV may not boast top-tier performance, its value lies in offering an affordable large-screen solution for those looking to enhance their home entertainment experience. Its ease of use and minimal setup make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a practical home theater with minimal effort and expense.
