Main trade-off
Hisense PX3-PRO
UST geometry remains furniture-sensitive even with its variable focus.
Head-to-head
Hisense PX3-PRO vs XGIMI MIRA: Hisense reaches beyond MIRA’s 120-inch ceiling
The short answer
Choose PX3-PRO for a screen larger than 120 inches. MIRA suits a smaller media-unit installation that needs a shorter lens distance.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Fit a 120-inch picture before choosing
Hisense PX3-PRO needs 1.9 ft from lens to screen for a 120-inch 16:9 picture. XGIMI MIRA needs 1.5 ft.
What this is based on
Width = diagonal × 16 / √337. At 120 inches the width is 104.6 inches. Multiply by each documented throw endpoint and divide by 12 for feet. This excludes digital zoom, keystone, cabinet offset and lens-shift limits.
Main trade-off
XGIMI MIRA
Its fixed 80 to 120-inch range is less flexible than larger premium UST models.

Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
The planned picture is 130 to 150 inches
PX3-PRO supports up to 150 inches, while MIRA lists 120. Start with that constraint before comparing the rest of the feature list.
- Hisense PX3-PRO
- Better fit
- XGIMI MIRA
- Not suitable
The screen is no larger than 120 inches
Both support pictures in the shared range up to 120 inches. MIRA's 0.175 throw is shorter than Hisense's 0.22, so furniture depth can decide the installation within that range.

I have chosen a 120-inch 16:9 screen
Use 1.9 ft for Hisense PX3-PRO or 1.5 ft for XGIMI MIRA, measured from the lens. Check the cabinet and mounting clearances separately.

I want to stream without buying the wrong edition
The documented platform is Google TV on Hisense PX3-PRO and Smart platform on XGIMI MIRA. Check the exact US model and required apps, rather than a similar name or older generation.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Fit a 120-inch picture before choosing
Hisense PX3-PRO needs 1.9 ft from lens to screen for a 120-inch 16:9 picture. XGIMI MIRA needs 1.5 ft.
How we reached this conclusion
Width = diagonal × 16 / √337. At 120 inches the width is 104.6 inches. Multiply by each documented throw endpoint and divide by 12 for feet. This excludes digital zoom, keystone, cabinet offset and lens-shift limits.
Read the light ratings with their limits
Hisense PX3-PRO lists 3000 ANSI lumens, while XGIMI MIRA uses 2000 ISO. We do not turn different labeled standards into a brightness multiplier.
How we reached this conclusion
Exact published inputs are 3000 ANSI for Hisense PX3-PRO and 2000 ISO for XGIMI MIRA. A percentage is shown only within the same labeled standard. Manufacturer methods, calibration and picture modes can still differ.
The larger model reaches a substantially bigger screen area
A 150-inch PX3-PRO setup has about 56% more image area than the MIRA 120-inch maximum at the same 16:9 shape.
How we reached this conclusion
150² / 120² - 1 = 56.25%. This is screen area, not guaranteed brightness at the larger size.
Try your real numbers
Will either projector fit your room?
The result checks hard limits only. Preferences stay out of the calculation.
Hisense PX3-PRO
Does not fit these inputsFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.92 ft. Your input is 9.50 ft.
XGIMI MIRA
Does not fit these inputsFor a 120-inch 16:9 picture, the calculated lens position is about 1.53 ft. Your input is 9.50 ft.
Distance is measured from the lens to the screen. The calculation uses a 16:9 image and the verified optical throw range for each exact model.
For an ultra-short-throw model, the gap behind the cabinet is a different measurement. Check the installation diagram for cabinet position, screen height and ventilation.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Hisense PX3-PRO | XGIMI MIRA | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optical throw ratio | 0.22 to 0.22 | 0.175 to 0.175 | Distance is measured from the lens to the screen, using the image width. |
| Lens distance for 120 inches | 1.9 ft | 1.5 ft | Calculated for 16:9 with optical adjustment only. Cabinet depth and cable clearance are extra. |
| Published image-size range | 80 to 150 in | 80 to 120 in | A supported maximum does not guarantee a bright picture in your room. |
| Published light output | 3000 ANSI lumens | 2000 ISO lumens | Different measurement standards and picture modes are not interchangeable. |
| Display architecture | single-chip-dlp | single-chip-dlp | Single-chip sequential color can matter to viewers sensitive to rainbow flashes. |
| Streaming platform | Google TV | Smart platform | Confirm the exact US edition and the apps you need before adding a separate streamer. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Hisense PX3-PRO
- Its specified 3,000 ANSI lumens should not be compared directly with ISO claims from AWOL or JMGO.
If you choose XGIMI MIRA
- Precise cabinet height and a flat wall or screen still matter despite the compact body.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
The intended screen can rule out MIRA
PX3-PRO supports up to 150 inches, while MIRA lists 120. Start with that constraint before comparing the rest of the feature list.
MIRA saves distance at shared image sizes
Its 0.175 throw is shorter than Hisense at 0.22. At 120 inches the lens-distance difference is about 4.7 inches, with cabinet position checked separately.
Both have a familiar streaming route
Google TV and native Netflix are documented on both models. The stronger decision is screen size and physical placement, not the shared app platform.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Throw calculations use published optical ranges and a 16:9 picture. They are not a substitute for the exact installation diagram.
- Published lumens, contrast and latency do not establish a matched real-room picture-quality result.
