We used the following calibration settings to test the Hisense M2 Pro. Keep in mind that results can vary slightly between individual units, firmware versions, and picture modes, so you may need small tweaks if your unit looks a bit different.
These settings are meant to provide a solid starting point for accurate SDR playback in a typical living room. They aren't meant to be copied 1:1, and your best results will depend on your screen size, throw distance, room brightness, and wall/screen color. If you're using the projector for gaming, you'll likely want a few additional settings to reduce input lag and improve text clarity, as listed below.
SDR Picture Settings
For SDR content, you can choose from several preset picture modes. We used Filmmaker Mode because it offers the most customization. Below are a few settings we used for SDR. All other settings were either left to default, disabled, or left off:
- Picture Mode: Filmmaker
- Color Temp Setting: Warm2
Gaming Settings
From the base SDR settings, very few changes are required for the best gaming experience. For the best input lag, enable Game Mode and ensure DLP Turbo Mode and High Refresh Rate Mode are enabled in the projector's Game Bar menu. Keep in mind that input lag is higher at 60Hz with High Refresh Rate Mode enabled, but the setting is required to avoid any frame skipping at 120Hz and 240Hz. Additional settings for gaming at different refresh rates are also shared below:
- Picture Mode: Filmmaker
- Game Mode: Enabled
- DLP Turbo Mode: Enabled
- For 120/240Hz gaming: Set HDMI Format to Enhanced (240Hz)
Other Settings
For information on any other settings or features outside the scope of our testing, please refer to Hisense's M2 Pro webpage.
White Balance Settings
The following are the results of our unit's white balance and colorspace calibration. They're provided for reference and shouldn't be copied, as the calibration values vary per individual unit due to manufacturing tolerances. If you want to try them, you'll need to enter all the values shown, as all of them are active at the same time. If you end up with worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.
