Leica Cine Play 1 Plus projector, Digi Mart USA News: Leica has released its Cine Play 1 Plus laser projector in the European market, according to a report published by Notebookcheck. The projector was first announced about a year earlier in China, and is now available in Europe with a recommended retail price of €2,995.
The new model costs €505 less than the Cine Play 1 that Leica introduced in 2024, although the company says the Plus version includes several improvements. The design remains largely unchanged, with a simple aluminum housing that has a black front and back.
The projector weighs 6.7 kilograms.
Technically, the Cine Play 1 Plus is a DLP laser projector with a native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels at 60 Hz, and it can display up to 240 Hz at 1080p. In gaming mode at 1080p and 120 Hz, Leica states that input latency is 12 milliseconds.
The company advertises brightness of 4,200 ANSI lumens, a contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and full coverage of the BT.2020 color space.
The projector supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, and it has a zoom lens with a throw ratio adjustable from 0.9 to 1.5. It can also display 3D content with compatible glasses. Audio comes from two 10-watt stereo speakers.
Devices such as the Nintendo Switch 2 can be connected through two HDMI 2.1 ports, and Wi-Fi 6E together with the VIDAA smart TV interface allows direct access to streaming apps such as Netflix.
The Cine Play 1 Plus can now be ordered from the Leica Online Store. Leica includes a remote control, a carrying case and a power cable in the package, while a stand must be purchased separately if needed.
