Leica’s acclaimed image quality will be available in 100- and 120-inch 4K displays. The Cine 1 utilizes Leica Image Optimization (LIO™) to enhance picture quality through advanced algorithms, offering natural color reproduction, detailed gradations, and excellent contrast. Complementing the stunning visuals, the integrated Dolby Atmos audio system ensures an immersive home cinema experience.
Connectivity is a key feature of the Cine 1, which runs on Google’s smart TV platform for seamless access to streaming content. It includes HDMI and USB inputs for connecting additional devices like Blu-ray players and game consoles, and its screen mirroring function allows effortless casting from personal devices. Additionally, the Leica Cine 1’s image is designed to be less fatiguing on the eyes compared to conventional displays, making for longer and more enjoyable home cinema nights.
The Leica Cine 1 also excels in energy efficiency and design. Its short-range laser technology consumes less power than comparable OLED TVs, while the durable silver aluminium body, slim automatic dust cover, and perforated plates for improved audio and ventilation reflect Leica’s commitment to precision and quality. Measuring approximately 24x16x6 inches, the projector integrates seamlessly into any room, offering a sleek alternative to a more heavy and dominant LED displays.
