Our Verdict

Hisense PX1-PRO

XGIMI HORIZON Ultra

The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra is better than the Hisense PX1-PRO. The XGIMI is much brighter, so it provides better image quality in moderately lit rooms. The XGIMI is also more accurate pre-calibration, but unfortunately, unlike the Hisense, you can't improve its accuracy through calibration. The Hisense has the edge regarding features, as it has two 4k @ 120Hz capable HDMI 2.1 ports, but it's just not bright enough to provide a graphically pleasant gaming experience.
