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.
