Leica Cine Play 1 Plus launches in Europe, is €500 cheaper than Cine Play 1
The Leica Cine Play 1 Plus laser projector was already announced a year ago in China, now the projector is finally coming to the European market. With a recommended retail price of €2,995, the new model is €505 cheaper than the Cine Play 1 from 2024, even though Leica touts several improvements.
The design remains largely unchanged, with Leica opting for a simple aluminum housing with a black front and back. Technically, the Cine Play 1 Plus is a DLP laser projector that delivers a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels at 60 Hz or up to 240 Hz at 1080p resolution. In gaming mode at 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, latency is said to be just 12 milliseconds. Leica advertises a brightness of 4,200 ANSI lumens, a contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and full coverage of the BT.2020 color space.
Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG cover the most common HDR standards. A zoom lens allows the throw ratio to be adjusted from 0.9 – 1.5. 3D content can also be displayed with compatible glasses. Leica equips the 6.7-kilogram projector with 2 x 10-watt stereo speakers. Devices such as a Nintendo Switch 2 can be connected via two HDMI 2.1 ports. Thanks to Wi-Fi 6E and the VIDAA smart TV interface, the projector can also access popular streaming apps such as Netflix directly.
