Short answer: Hisense PX3-PRO wins this one, 9.1/10 against 8.9/10, mainly on brightness and color, contrast and HDR. Hisense PT1 answers with price and placement.
What really separates them?
The same TriChroma laser engine, the same 110% BT.2020, the same contrast, the same Google TV and the same 2-year warranty. The PX3-PRO's extra $500 buys 500 more ANSI lumens, IMAX Enhanced, active 3D, the "Designed for Xbox" 240 Hz mode and Netflix named on the page. The PT1 answers with AirPlay and Apple Home, a slightly shorter throw (0.2:1 against 0.22:1) and four pounds less to carry. For evening viewing on a 100-inch screen you will not see $500 of difference. In a room with daylight, or with an Xbox under the screen, you will.
