Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Hisense M2SE Pro

  • Auto-focus and a motorized zoom make setup quick.
  • Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+ are all supported.
  • The laser light source is rated for 25000 hours.
  • HDMI 2.1 takes 4K at 60 Hz.
  • Smart TV apps and Wi-Fi are built in.
  • Auto low latency mode switches itself on for games.

What customers don't like about Hisense M2SE Pro

  • 1150 lumens is dim in a lit room.
  • Contrast of 1000:1 is modest for dark scenes.
  • There is only one HDMI port.
  • No 3.5 mm audio jack, so wired headphones cannot plug straight in.
  • At 230 mm tall it needs more height on a shelf.

Verdict

Auto-focus and a motorized zoom make the Hisense M2SE Pro quick to set up in a new room. It is a laser model with a 4K picture at 3840x2160, and it reads Dolby Vision and HDR10+ as well as HDR10. The 1150 lumens suit a room with the blinds down, not a bright living room, and the 1000:1 contrast is modest for dark scenes. A 4K console or streaming box can drive it at 60 Hz, and the 30 ms input lag keeps games responsive. The body is slim at 193 mm wide but stands 230 mm tall. The noise is low at 28 dB. The trade-off is the connections: there is one HDMI port and no 3.5 mm audio jack. It suits someone who watches films in a dim room and wants a laser projector for HDR films.
