Leica Cine Play 1 Review: Pricey but Worth Every Penny
Leica Cine Play 1 评测：价格昂贵但物有所值
If your preference is to make colors pop on the screen for movie night, the Leica Cine Play 1 delivers with an immersive cinematic experience. This short-throw laser projector from the company that makes high-end cameras with a cult following ticks almost every box for tack-sharp picture quality, rendering Pixar films and the Avatar series with vibrant colors and beautiful details.
如果你希望在电影之夜让屏幕上的色彩更加鲜艳夺目，Leica Cine Play 1 能为你带来沉浸式的影院级体验。这款超短焦激光投影仪出自那家拥有众多忠实拥趸的高端相机制造商之手，它几乎满足了用户对极致清晰画质的所有期待，在播放皮克斯动画或《阿凡达》系列电影时，能呈现出鲜活的色彩和细腻的细节。
Crafted out of aluminum and glass, Leica’s latest projector borrows many of its design ethos and superb build quality from the company’s cameras. It comes with a carrying handle, making it easy to move around the home, and is powered by the intuitive VIDAA operating system. The Leica optical performance makes movies come alive.
Leica 的这款最新投影仪采用铝材和玻璃打造，借鉴了该公司相机产品线的设计理念和卓越的制造工艺。它配有一个提手，方便在室内移动，并搭载了直观易用的 VIDAA 操作系统。Leica 的光学性能让电影画面栩栩如生。
At $2,995 after an $800 rebate, the Cine Play 1 is competitive with midrange home cinema projectors from Sony, Epson, and others. The only minor ding against the Cine Play 1 is that you’ll need a mostly dark room to take advantage of Leica’s brilliant color reproduction, while competitors like the Epson Pro Cinema LS9000 perform well in both dark and well-lit environments.
在享受 800 美元折扣后，Cine Play 1 的售价为 2,995 美元，这使其在索尼、爱普生等品牌的中端家庭影院投影仪市场中极具竞争力。Cine Play 1 唯一的不足之处在于，你需要在一个光线较暗的房间里才能充分发挥其出色的色彩还原能力，而像爱普生 Pro Cinema LS9000 这样的竞争对手在暗光和明亮环境下均有不错的表现。
Setting Up the Projector
投影仪设置
The Cine Play 1 uses a Leica Summicron lens with an outstanding optical zoom. Known for its extreme sharpness and near-zero color fringing on Leica’s storied cameras, the Summicron glass delivers similar benefits on the Cine Play 1. With the Cine Play 1, it’s like having a high-end camera that, instead of capturing a scene, projects one with added vibrancy. Though Leica has made optical lenses for other projectors, this partnership with Hisense makes this the first projector to bear Leica’s branding, complete with the iconic red dot on the top.
Cine Play 1 采用了具备出色光学变焦能力的 Leica Summicron 镜头。Summicron 玻璃镜片以其在 Leica 传奇相机上展现出的极致锐度和近乎零色散而闻名，在 Cine Play 1 上也带来了同样的优势。使用 Cine Play 1，就像拥有一台高端相机，只不过它不是捕捉场景，而是以更强的活力将场景投射出来。尽管 Leica 此前曾为其他投影仪制造过光学镜头，但此次与海信的合作，使其成为首款带有 Leica 品牌标识的投影仪，机身顶部还配有标志性的“红点”。
Though seemingly mobile at about the size of a large lunch box and weighing 14.6 pounds, the lack of a built-in battery means that the Cine Play 1 is mostly confined to indoor use. Like most other projectors, you can mount the Cine Play 1 on your own stand or opt for Leica’s optional $495 Cine Play 1 Floor Stand. Though expensive, the Floor Stand has an ingenious design that is Apple-like in approach. After mounting the projector to the stand with a couple of bolts, I noticed a proprietary connection, allowing you to connect the power cord into the base of the stand rather than on the rear of the Cine Play 1, solving the problem of unwieldy wires.
虽然 Cine Play 1 大小如一个大号午餐盒，重 14.6 磅，看起来似乎很便携，但由于没有内置电池，它主要还是局限于室内使用。像大多数投影仪一样，你可以将其安装在自己的支架上，也可以选择 Leica 售价 495 美元的选配落地支架。尽管价格昂贵，但该支架的设计非常巧妙，颇有苹果产品的风格。用几颗螺栓将投影仪固定在支架上后，我发现了一个专有的连接接口，可以将电源线连接到支架底座，而不是 Cine Play 1 的背面，从而解决了线缆杂乱的问题。
The auto keystone and autofocus features were almost magical, adjusting to my projector screen automatically. I did have to turn off the auto-adjusting after bumping into the projector a few times, but the idea is that it will adjust if you move the Cine Play 1 to a different room.
自动梯形校正和自动对焦功能简直神奇，能自动适配我的投影幕布。虽然在几次不小心碰到投影仪后，我不得不关闭了自动调整功能，但该功能的设计初衷是当你将 Cine Play 1 移动到不同房间时，它能自动完成调整。
Benchmark Results and First Impressions
基准测试结果与初步印象
Apart from minor brightness issues when using the Cine Play 1 in brighter environments, this projector passed my benchmark tests. Colors were vibrant, skin tones did not appear washed out, and a butterfly scene showed subtle differences between the shades of yellows and oranges in my test clips. In comparison, colors on the TCL NXTVISION were noticeably duller. The Cine Play 1 also excels as a gaming display, with superb color reproduction and stutter-free performance when tested with Crimson Desert paired with Acer’s Nitro 60 gaming desktop.
除了在较亮环境下亮度稍显不足外，这款投影仪通过了我的基准测试。色彩鲜艳，肤色没有出现泛白，在测试片段的蝴蝶场景中，它展现出了黄色和橙色之间细微的色差。相比之下，TCL NXTVISION 的色彩明显暗淡。Cine Play 1 作为游戏显示设备也表现出色，在搭配宏碁 Nitro 60 游戏台式机测试《红色沙漠》（Crimson Desert）时，它提供了极佳的色彩还原和流畅无卡顿的性能。
The Cine Play 1 supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, and Dolby Atmos Audio. The built-in speakers sounded fine as a backup if you don’t connect through eARC to an AV receiver or soundbar. Speaking of connections, there are only two HDMI ports and, if you use the eARC port, you are limited to one HDMI device for connecting a streamer or console.
Cine Play 1 支持杜比视界（Dolby Vision）、HDR10+、IMAX Enhanced 和杜比全景声（Dolby Atmos）。如果你没有通过 eARC 连接 AV 接收器或回音壁，内置扬声器作为备用方案效果尚可。说到接口，它仅有两个 HDMI 端口，如果你使用了 eARC 端口，那么你只能连接一个 HDMI 设备（如流媒体播放器或游戏主机）。
