Our Verdict
Hisense C2 Ultra
Hisense M2 Pro
The Hisense C2 Ultra is an upgrade over the smaller Hisense M2 Pro. They both have very good contrast and a remarkable color gamut. However, the C2 Ultra is much brighter, leading to a more immersive viewing experience than the M2 Pro. It also has lower input lag at 4k @ 120Hz for a more responsive, high refresh rate gaming experience, along with full eARC passthrough and an extra HDMI 2.1, making it a better multimedia projector. On the other hand, the M2 Pro has better input lag at 4k @ 60Hz, while it also has much better color accuracy out of the box, though both projectors even out on this front after they're calibrated.
