Plug it in, turn it on, and it figures out what it's looking at.
In the ongoing human desire to bring the grandeur of shared spectacle into private life, Hisense has introduced the XR10 — a long-throw laser projector that arrives in Australian homes on May 14, 2026, priced at $9,999. With 6,000 ANSI lumens, AI-driven calibration, and a Devialet audio partnership, it represents a considered answer to the question of what a personal cinema might truly mean. Alongside the more accessible C3 at $3,499, Hisense is quietly expanding the boundary between the living room and the picture house.
- The XR10 enters a premium market with rare ambition — 6,000 ANSI lumens and liquid cooling place it among the brightest and most durable long-throw projectors available to consumers.
- Australia's sun-drenched homes have long been a graveyard for dimmer projectors, and the XR10's daylight-resistant brightness directly confronts that limitation.
- AutoMagic AI 3.0 with QuadCam and TOF Smart Sense removes the traditional friction of projector setup, reading the room and self-calibrating in real time so the image simply works wherever it lands.
- Devialet's audio engineering closes the gap between home and cinema, ensuring the sound matches the scale of a 300-inch image rather than undermining it.
- With the C3 at $3,499 already in stores and the XR10 landing May 14 through Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, and VideoPro, Hisense is positioning itself across two distinct tiers of the home cinema dream.
Hisense has unveiled the XR10, a long-throw laser projector designed to turn ordinary living rooms into genuine cinema spaces. Capable of projecting images from 65 to 300 inches, it delivers 6,000 ANSI lumens — among the highest brightness figures in its class — sustained through marathon sessions by a liquid cooling system that prevents the lamp from dimming over time.
The engineering goes beyond raw brightness. Zoom and lens shift optics free the projector from fixed positioning, while AutoMagic AI Adjusting 3.0 plus uses QuadCam sensors and TOF Smart Sense technology to read the room, self-align, and sharpen the 4K image automatically. For Australian homes filled with natural light, this matters: the XR10 holds its picture quality through afternoon sun and evening films alike, without the washout that plagues lesser models.
Sound is handled through a partnership with Devialet, the Parisian audio house, giving the projector room-filling output that sustains rather than breaks the cinema illusion. Hisense is also releasing the C3 4K Tri-Chroma at $3,499 — an all-in-one system with built-in speakers, subwoofer, and rapid auto-setup, available now at Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, and Bing Lee.
The XR10 arrives May 14, 2026, priced at $9,999, through Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, and specialist retailer VideoPro. It is, in essence, an invitation to stop attending cinemas and start constructing them.
Hisense has released the XR10, a long-throw laser projector engineered to transform living rooms into cinema halls. The device pumps out 6,000 ANSI lumens of brightness—among the highest in its category—and can scale images anywhere from 65 inches to a wall-filling 300 inches depending on where you position it in your home.
The projector's real innovation sits in its engineering. A liquid cooling system keeps the lamp running at full brightness through marathon viewing sessions without degradation. The optics include both zoom and lens shift, so you're not locked into one spot or one screen size. Point it at a shelf, a table, or even outdoors, and it adapts. The machine handles the geometry itself through what Hisense calls AutoMagic AI Adjusting 3.0 plus, a system that pairs artificial intelligence with QuadCam sensors and TOF Smart Sense technology to read the room, optimize focus and alignment in real time, and deliver sharp 4K imagery with minimal fiddling. Plug it in, turn it on, and it figures out what it's looking at.
For Australian homes flooded with natural light, this brightness matters. The XR10 maintains picture quality whether you're watching daytime sports, gaming in afternoon sun, or settling into a film after dark. The projector doesn't wash out in daylight the way dimmer models do. Hisense also partnered with Devialet, the Paris-based audio company, to handle sound—the projector delivers room-filling audio rather than tinny speaker output, completing the cinema illusion.
The company is also releasing a second projector, the C3 4K Tri-Chroma, at a lower price point. The C3 costs $3,499 and includes built-in speakers and a subwoofer, positioning itself as an all-in-one entertainment system with smart auto-setup that aligns and focuses the image in seconds. It's available now from major Australian retailers including Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, and Bing Lee.
The XR10 arrives May 14, 2026, priced at $9,999. It will be sold through Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, and VideoPro, a specialist retailer. The price reflects the engineering—liquid cooling, AI calibration, premium audio partnership, and the sheer light output required to hold a cinema-grade image across a 300-inch canvas. For those willing to invest, it's a way to stop going to theaters and start building them.

Why does brightness matter so much in a projector? Isn't 6,000 lumens just a number?
It's the difference between watching a movie and watching a movie that looks like a movie. In a bright room—which most Australian homes are—a dim projector washes out. Colors flatten. You lose the contrast that makes cinema feel immersive. 6,000 lumens means you can actually use this thing during the day without closing all your curtains.
The AI calibration system sounds like it's doing a lot of work. What happens if it gets it wrong?
That's the point—it's designed not to. The QuadCam and TOF sensors are reading the actual space, the actual wall, the actual throw distance. It's not guessing. If something shifts, it recalibrates. You're not manually adjusting focus rings and lens position like you would with older projectors.
Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money. Who is this actually for?
People who've given up on traditional TVs because they want scale and immersion. Home theater enthusiasts. People with the space and the budget who want a projector that doesn't require a dedicated dark room. The brightness and the AI make that possible.
What about the C3 at half the price? Is that the smarter buy?
Different product. The C3 is for someone who wants a large screen experience without the flagship specs. It's plug-and-play too, but it's not built for bright rooms the same way. The XR10 is the statement piece.
