- + 1,300 honest ANSI lumens is genuinely usable with some ambient light
- + HDMI 2.1 with eARC and 3D support
Cons

- − Non-backlit remote
Hisense M2 Pro review: what the specs say
Optical zoom, full Dolby Vision and 1,300 real ANSI lumens for $1,299. At $1,299, Hisense's 2025 model sits in the middle of the range — the projectors we compare run from $499 to $7,999. It scores 7.5/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Color at 8.5/10 — colour gamut coverage and accuracy out of the box. The weakest is Smart Platform at 6.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: 1,000:1 native contrast means blacks are grey in a dark room; and VIDAA's app catalogue is thinner than Google TV. Every specification on this page comes from Hisense's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
