Grown-Up Toys · Worth the Upgrade
Leica Cine Play 1
A compact 4K smart projector with Leica’s design-object credibility, triple-RGB laser projection, and a room-friendly stand form that looks more intentional than the usual plastic home-cinema brick.
This is not the rational projector pick — XGIMI has that covered. Leica Cine Play 1 is the handsome, premium version for people who want the projector itself to earn its place in the room.
About $3,795
Best for
Design-led home theater, apartments, movie nights, premium living-room gear, and anyone who wants big-screen downtime without mounting a TV slab.
Skip if
The XGIMI projector lane already feels covered, the price is too absurd, or you need maximum brightness-per-dollar instead of design restraint.
