Our Verdict

Hisense C2 Ultra

Valerion VisionMaster Plus2

The Hisense C2 Ultra is an upgrade over the Valerion VisionMaster Plus2, though they share similar gamer-friendly features. Both projectors have 120Hz and 240Hz gaming capabilities and similar input lag across the board, so they should both satisfy most gamers. However, the Hisense takes the edge in terms of picture quality, and it's also more accurate out of the box. That said, the Valerion has an extra HDMI port for added connectivity.
