We recently spent time at the Screen Innovations booth, where we got a first look at Leica’s latest projector. This model caught our attention right away, not only because of its sleek aluminum body but also because of how it performs next to some of the biggest names in projection.
It brings the premium look and feel Leica is known for, but at a surprisingly accessible price point of $3,795.
Exceptional Build and Performance
Leica built this projector with a full aluminum casing, giving it a refined and durable finish that feels high-end. Inside, it delivers brightness levels between 2,700 and 3,000 lumens, depending on the mode you choose.
That means vibrant, lifelike colors even in rooms that aren’t completely dark.
It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, so you can expect rich contrast and deep black levels on any high-quality screen. With multiple HDMI 2.1 ports, plus USB, optical, and Ethernet inputs, it’s ready for modern setups and future upgrades.
The Leica Difference: Precision Optics and Image Optimization
What makes this unit truly special is its Leica Image Optimization System, the same technology that powers Leica’s legendary cameras. Our team was impressed by how the algorithms enhance brightness and color balance without losing clarity. You can really see Leica’s century-long expertise in optics reflected here.
It’s also built with triple RGB laser and 3LCD technology, giving you a consistent and accurate image across the entire screen. Whether you’re watching a movie or streaming a live concert, the visuals feel crisp and natural from every angle.
Compact and Versatile for Any Setup
We love how portable and flexible this projector is. You can mount it permanently in your living room or easily take it outside for backyard movie nights.
The unit’s smaller footprint makes it ideal for lifestyle setups where you want theater-level quality without a large installation.
Leica is even preparing a ceiling mount accessory designed specifically for this projector. Once available, it will make fixed installations even easier for clients who prefer a clean, professional look.
Smart Auto Correction System
One of our favorite features is the automatic correction system. During testing, we were able to realign the image within seconds after someone bumped the projector.
It’s not perfect, but it gets about 80% of the way there automatically, saving time and effort. The rest can be fine-tuned through the settings menu. Compared to other models like Epson or JVC, this convenience really stands out.
Performance That Competes Above Its Price
At just under $4,000, the performance we’re seeing is outstanding. When we placed it side by side with high-end projectors like the Sony 5000ES, which costs over $60,000, the color accuracy and clarity of the Leica held up impressively well for its category. It proves that great picture quality doesn’t always have to come with a high-end price tag.
Final Thoughts
We’re genuinely excited about what Leica has achieved here. The combination of luxury design, smart engineering, and accessible pricing makes this projector a strong contender for anyone building or upgrading their home theater.
It’s bright, easy to use, and packed with thoughtful technology designed to simplify your setup experience.
