With the PT1, Hisense is expanding its laser TV lineup with another model that cleverly positions itself between the popular Hisense PL2 and the powerful PX3-Pro. In our comprehensive practical test, we already took a close look at the Hisense PT1, analyzing both its strengths and minor weaknesses compared to the PX3-Pro.

With an RGB laser light source, 4K display via XPR shifting, and Dolby Vision support, the PT1 offers many features previously reserved for the more expensive PX3-Pro. At the same time, it remains closer to the Hisense PL2 in price and configuration, making it particularly attractive for users seeking high-quality picture performance at a moderate price. Compared to the PL2, the PT1 offers noticeable improvements in color reproduction and dynamic content.

Default settings: Solid, but expandable

As with many Hisense laser TVs, it's noticeable that the factory default settings don't fully exploit the device's potential. Especially in terms of color accuracy, contrast gradation, and HDR dynamics, the PT1's factory settings visibly waste potential. Depending on the playback source, content appears either too cool, lacks contrast, or loses definition in highlights. Therefore, it quickly became clear to us that the PT1 also deserved a fine-tuned calibration—and that's exactly what we've been working on intensively.

Ultimate Edition for the Hisense PT1: Optimal settings for every signal type

Our new Ultimate Edition for the Hisense PT1 contains precisely determined image settings for the common formats:

• Dolby Vision
• HDR10 and HDR10+
• SDR content (e.g., traditional TV, streaming, Blu-ray)

These settings were developed over weeks in real living environments and on professional measuring systems to guarantee the best possible viewing experience – regardless of whether you are enjoying films, series or games.

The result:

• Significantly improved color fidelity, especially for skin tones and natural environments
• Higher in-image contrastwithout letting dark areas of the image drown
• Improved HDR dynamics, especially in highlights and detail
• Reduced laser glitter through adjusted brightness distribution
• More natural SDR playback with balanced gamma and neutral white point
