Our Verdict

Epson Home Cinema 5050UB

Hisense PX1-PRO

The Epson Home Cinema 5050UB is much better than the Hisense PX1-PRO. The Epson is much brighter, has better contrast, and has slightly better colors, so it has the edge in image quality. The Epson is also vastly more accurate out of the box, so you don't need to worry about calibration. The Hisense has way more features than the Epson, with an integrated smart OS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support, but it can't compensate for the image quality gap.
