Our Verdict
Hisense M2 Pro
Optoma UHZ36
The Hisense M2 Pro is better than the Optoma UHZ36 in almost every way except for one: brightness. The Optoma is noticeably brighter, especially if you're using the unit in a room with ambient light. In a darker room, however, the Hisense stretches its legs, with better contrast, a much more vibrant image, and a more accurate image before and after calibration. For gamers, the Hisense is also far better, as it is very responsive at any resolution, and can game at up to 240Hz.
