Question about Hisense PL1SE

First of all:
- I have been using the projector for almost 2 years and am very satisfied.
- The current price of 1080.- is excellent; I paid just under 1500.-.
- The projector is quiet; you can hear the fan slightly, but you soon get used to it. However, the fan is quieter than on other models.
- For me, there is definitely no going back to a normal TV set. With the large picture, you are simply much more "involved".
- As far as the picture size is concerned, I would recommend taping the surface on the wall in advance. Because it can also be too big. The advantage of the Hisense PL1SE is that you can move it closer to the wall to reduce the size of the picture. Also note the lower distance to the floor with projectors; the image only starts about 35-40cm above the floor due to the projection angle. Unlike TV sets, the number of inches (e.g. 100") is not the diagonal, but the width (so the diagonal is slightly larger again). Pythagoras is your friend).

To your question:
- Keep in mind that if you don't use a canvas, the texture of the wall will remain with the picture. So if you have a textured wall, the image would also be textured because the image is projected onto the wall.
- You could use the projector without a screen if the wall is very flat/smooth. But projecting onto a screen is worlds better! I use an electronically retractable screen from VividStorm, but it can also be a normal, fixed screen. Note that there are also special screens for ultra-short distance (I think they are called "ALR"), which also block sunlight from the image.
- BlackFriday is approaching if you want to buy a screen later. Time is your friend. :-)
