Our Verdict

Hisense C1

Hisense M2 Pro

The Hisense M2 Pro is an upgrade over the Hisense C1. The M2 Pro has more accurate colors out of the box, as well as a much wider color gamut than the C1. It's also a much better gaming projector, supporting 120Hz refresh rates and with considerably better input lag across all resolutions. On the other hand, the C1 is a better multimedia hub with more ports and full eARC passthrough, in addition to being a notably brighter option than the M2 Pro.
