Leica Cine Play 1 Plus: the 4K projector that moves from room to room
The Cine Play 1 Plus takes over from the Cine Play 1. It is still a compact projector with a triple RGB laser light source and a Leica Summicron zoom lens, light enough to go from the living room to the bedroom or the terrace. Compared with the previous model brightness goes up to 4,200 lumens in Ultra mode, and the smart system moves to VIDAA 9.6.
Picture
The 0.47" DLP chip with XPR technology builds a 3840 x 2160 image. The optical zoom covers a throw ratio from 0.9 to 1.5, so the screen size can be set anywhere between 65 and 300 inches without moving the unit much. Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG are supported, together with 3D through DLP Link glasses and Leica Image Optimization (LIO) processing. Focus and geometry correct themselves whenever the projector is moved.
Sound, gaming and streaming
Two 10 W speakers with Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X are enough to watch a film without a separate system; to connect one there are HDMI with eARC and an optical output. For gaming, latency drops to 12 ms with a 1080p signal at 120 Hz, and in 2K the refresh rate reaches 240 Hz. VIDAA 9.6 opens the streaming apps and Xbox cloud gaming; AirPlay, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6E, Apple Home and Control4 complete the connectivity.
Build
The body is machined from a single block of aluminium with a glass front, and the EPP box it comes in doubles as storage and carrying case. Mounted on the Leica Floor Stand 1, sold separately, the projector takes power from contacts hidden in the base, with no power cable in sight.
