Our Verdict
BenQ X3100i
Hisense C2 Ultra
The Hisense C2 Ultra is better than the BenQ X3100i. The Hisense matches the BenQ when it comes to gaming features, and is a bit brighter, with slightly deeper blacks. The Hisense is also much more colorful, which is especially noticeable in HDR content. The one thing the BenQ has going for it is its slightly more accurate image right out-of-the-box, but otherwise, the Hisense has it beat in most aspects.
