Hisense C2 Ultra: 4K Laser Projector with JBL Sound System
The Hisense C2 Ultra is the new flagship model in the Chinese manufacturer’s TriChroma 4K projector range. Following the highly acclaimed C1, this high-end model pushes the boundaries of home projection by combining cutting-edge performance with an innovative lifestyle design.
Elegant Design and Flexible Installation
The Hisense C2 Ultra stands out with its Lifestyle design that blends projection performance with aesthetics. Its adjustable stand offers 360° rotation and forward or backward tilt, allowing it to seamlessly fit into any environment. Its robust and elegant metal casing rests on a circular stand that conceals a subwoofer for immersive sound.
Compact with dimensions of 247 x 247 x 286 mm and weighing 6.3 kg, the C2 Ultra is easy to place thanks to its optical zoom of 0.9 to 1.5:1. Automatic keystone correction and autofocus ensure a perfectly aligned image, regardless of the projector’s position. Integrated obstacle avoidance optimizes projection, even in complex setups.
Stunning Image Quality with TriChroma Technology
At the heart of the C2 Ultra, TriChroma technology relies on a triple RGB laser light source that ensures exceptional color accuracy, covering 110% of the Rec.2020 gamut. Image processing, optimized by artificial intelligence, is complemented by an integrated 3DLut for precise color management.
Despite a 0.47” DLP chip and native Full HD resolution, the C2 Ultra delivers a stunning Ultra HD 4K image thanks to Texas Instrument’s XPR4 process. With 3000 lumens and a native contrast of 2000:1, it displays bright and detailed images, even in lit rooms. Extended HDR compatibility (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG) allows you to enjoy all current programs.
MEMC motion compensation offers great fluidity, especially for sports and action scenes. The Filmmaker mode faithfully reproduces the directors’ intentions. IMAX Enhanced certified, the C2 Ultra promises an immersive visual and sound experience worthy of the best theaters.
Advanced Gaming Features
Xbox certified, the C2 Ultra will delight gamers with an input lag reduced to just 12 ms. It supports HDMI 2.1 signals, allowing for 4K gaming at 60 Hz or Full HD at 240 Hz. This ensures optimal responsiveness and ultra-smooth images. Active 3D is also included for total immersion.
Powerful Sound by JBL
On the audio side, the C2 Ultra impresses with its 2.1 system developed by JBL, consisting of two 10W speakers and a 20W subwoofer integrated into the stand. This provides dynamic and precise sound that meets most needs without requiring an external setup.
Comprehensive Connectivity and Smart TV Features
The C2 Ultra is equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports (one eARC compatible), two USB 3.0 ports, an optical audio output, an Ethernet port, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It integrates the Vidaa U7.6 Smart TV system with a powerful Quad Core processor that provides access to numerous streaming services. Voice control is supported by Vidaa, Alexa, and Google assistants.
Customizable Image Processing
For demanding users, the C2 Ultra offers numerous image adjustment options: color temperature control, gamut selection, gamma editor, laser adjustment, dynamic contrast management… A comprehensive CMS allows precise adjustment of hues, brightness, and saturation. This ensures a perfectly calibrated image, true to the creators’ vision.
Outstanding Performance
In practice, the C2 Ultra impresses with its quiet operation at only 35.9 dB of noise and a maximum power consumption measured at 128.2W. Its sharpness is remarkable, with no artifacts or distortions, and an impressive level of detail even in complex scenes. The finely adjustable MEMC image interpolation ensures great fluidity without the “soap opera” effect.
Covering 96.26% of the BT.2020 gamut and 99.59% of DCI-P3, the C2 Ultra displays vibrant colors, faithful to the directors’ intentions after calibration. Its Dynamic Tone Mapping optimizes HDR rendering by adjusting contrast and brightness.
With a maximum of 2891 lumens measured and 1564 lumens after calibration, the C2 Ultra can easily illuminate large images, up to 4 meters in SDR and 3.15 meters in HDR. Its fine laser power management allows brightness to be adapted to image size for optimal performance in all circumstances.
What are the main differences between the C2 Ultra and the C1?
The C2 Ultra brings several improvements over the C1: a redesigned look with an adjustable stand incorporating a subwoofer, increased brightness (3000 lumens vs. 2200 lumens), better sound processing with the JBL 2.1 system, advanced gaming features (Xbox certified, 12 ms input lag, 240 Hz in Full HD), and an optical zoom for more installation flexibility.
Is the C2 Ultra suitable for use in a bright living room?
Yes, thanks to its 3000 lumens brightness, the C2 Ultra delivers vibrant images even in well-lit rooms. Its advanced image processing with Dynamic Tone Mapping optimizes HDR rendering for consistently spectacular results. It can easily illuminate large images up to 4 meters wide in SDR.
What types of image adjustments does the C2 Ultra offer?
The C2 Ultra offers numerous calibration options for demanding users: color temperature control, gamut selection, gamma editor, fine laser power adjustment, dynamic contrast management on 3 levels… Its comprehensive CMS allows precise adjustment of color hues, brightness, and saturation. After calibration, it displays an image perfectly faithful to the creators’ intentions.
Is the C2 Ultra a good option for gamers?
Absolutely. Xbox certified, the C2 Ultra is designed for gaming with a reduced input lag of only 12 ms for optimal responsiveness. It supports HDMI 2.1 signals, allowing for 4K gaming at 60 Hz or extreme fluidity in Full HD at 240 Hz. Active 3D is also supported for total immersion in compatible games.
Is an external audio system necessary with the C2 Ultra?
The integrated 2.1 audio system, developed by JBL, is surprisingly powerful. With its two 10W speakers supported by a 20W subwoofer hidden in the stand, it delivers dynamic and precise sound that will satisfy most users. Only the most demanding will feel the need to add an external setup.

The C2 Ultra is designed for simple and flexible installation. Its adjustable stand allows for 360° horizontal rotation and 135° vertical tilt, enabling projection on any surface, even the ceiling. Its optical zoom from 0.9 to 1.5:1 offers great positioning flexibility. Automatic keystone correction and autofocus optimize the image effortlessly. Finally, the integrated obstacle avoidance ensures impeccable projection even in complex configurations.
What the press says
The Hisense C2 Ultra is ideal for watching movies. It’s bright enough to be used outdoors at night, even with some ambient lighting. Its contrast is excellent, delivering deep blacks in most scenes. It also offers an extremely wide color gamut, even in HDR. Finally, the unit is fairly accurate out of the box, though it’s a bit on the cool side; purists can easily calibrate it if that bothers them.

Le Hisense C2 Ultra est idéal pour regarder des films. Il est suffisamment lumineux pour être regardé dehors la nuit, même avec quelques lumières. Son contraste est excellent, offrant des noirs profonds dans la plupart des scènes. Il offre également une gamme de couleurs extrêmement large, même en HDR. Enfin, l'appareil est assez précis dès la sortie de l'emballage, même s'il est un peu trop froid ; les puristes pourront facilement le calibrer si cela les gêne.
Very good product. Bright image. Very many settings. Impressed by the sound quality. Note a very faint light halo outside the screen if the projector is not directly facing it and requires keystone correction.
Delighted with the product. Delighted with the follow-up from Homeciné Solutions.

Très bon produit.
Image lumineuse.
De très nombreux réglages.
Impressionné par le rendu sonore.
A noter un halo lumineux très faible, hors écran, si le projecteur n’est pas en face et nécessite une correction de trapèze.
Enchanté du produit.
Échanté du suivi de Homeciné Solutions.

The projector is of excellent quality, offering a superb image. It is well-finished and bright. The only downside I regret is the presence of a speck of dust inside the lens. Given the position of the screen, the light beam doesn’t pass exactly in front of it, but it’s very close, just a few millimeters off. It’s really a shame for a projector at this price.

Le videoprojecteur est d’excellente qualité, il offre une image superbe. Il est bien fini et lumineux. Le seul point que je regrette est la présence d’une poussière à l’intérieur de l’optique. Étant donné la position de l’écran, le flux lumineux ne passe pas exactement devant, mais il s’en faut de très peu, juste quelques millimètres. C’est vraiment dommage pour un projecteur de ce prix
