Hisense
Hisense M2 Pro
A compact tri-laser box with a 1.3x optical zoom, aimed at people who want real 4K color in something they can carry between rooms.
Best for: Tri-laser color in something small enough to move every evening
XGIMI
XGIMI Horizon S Max
XGIMI's brightest standard-throw lifestyle projector, on an integrated stand that tilts through a wide arc so it can throw from a coffee table to a high wall.
Best for: A bright room where the projector has to aim upward from a low table

Hisense M2 Pro: what it gives up
- 1,300 ANSI lumens needs the lights down
- 1,000:1 native contrast is very low, so dark scenes look washed
- A single HDMI port
- Vidaa, with no published noise or input-lag figures
XGIMI Horizon S Max: what it gives up
- A fixed 1.20 throw ratio with digital zoom only — the picture size is set by where it stands
- 60 Hz only, with no published input-lag figure
- XGIMI publishes no contrast figure
- XGIMI's brightness claims on earlier models were revised downward after an Epson complaint in 2023; the ISO figure here is the post-settlement standard
- A single HDMI port, so a console and a soundbar cannot both stay connected
