XGIMI - Horizon 20 Pro

You might want to wait a while to see if the reduce the price again. I got the pro version in November for £1,529.00

Xgimi 20 pro works well in bright room

I'm rather new to projectors but I got myself a Xgimi Horizon 20 pro last week and so far it's been amazing . Can't promise it'll keep being amazing forever but I'm mostly in tbe same conditions as you . Projecting on a 120" screen and sitting with my eyes 2.8 meters from the screen so 6.5 feet away looks perfect . At 13 feet you might want an even larger picture if you can manage/afford . I'm in a completely dark room when using it and the 4200 lumens (in reality a bit less than that in regular mode) feels more than bright enough (sometimes getting flashbanged with sdr content) . Perhaps if you specifically want to watch 3d movies you might opt for the even brighter max since content will appear half as bright when each eye only sees half the picture .

I'm a beginner when it comes to projector but my Xgimi horizon 20 pro is doing wonders for me . I did some tests with photoshop and some 4k images in which I try and see the at which scales patterns become distinguishable and pixel shift 4k is basically indistinguishable from "real" 4k to me . When watching a movie , it is capable of reproducing the grain of the picture and the micro-contrasts wonderfully . For an image size under 100" you can probably opt for the base version (only difference is the lens and luminosity , 3200 lumens ISOfor base , 4100 for pro and 5700 max , in practice about 15% less for regular use) which costs under 1600$ . I'd say the market has definitely evolved toward affordability , I don't think 4k 3000+ lumens were even under 3k 5 years ago .

XGimi Horizon 20 pro seems as good if not better than the Valerion Pro 2 (if EBL is not a deal breaker).

I recently went through this. I’ll list the projectors I tried and my final choice at the end. JVC didn’t make my list at all because I occasionally game and the input lag was higher than I wanted. Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro- nice picture but some of the worst RBE I’ve ever seen. Epson w4100i- very nice projector, but I found out I just cannot do DLP. RBE was significantly less noticeable than the Xgimi and mostly tolerable, but I decided to go a different direction. Some odd, unpredictable software hiccups probably could have been figured out, but were a little too common for comfort. Sony 5000es - probably the best SDR picture of the bunch but was an absolute nightmare with any HDR content. Probably could have figured out something with a HTPC and MadVR, but it wasn’t worth it and did not feel “future-proof”. Really don’t understand the horrible HDR tone mapping compared to the beautiful SDR picture. So I ended up with the Epson LS12000. Not the last word in resolution or black levels, but perfectly acceptable in both. I do not notice the pixel shifting compared to the native Sony, on a 150” white screen from 15 ft away. Good HDR mapping, can get very good with some tweaking. Extra bonuses like a motorized lens for easy setup, motorized lens cover to keep dust off the lens, very bright, and super quiet fan, especially at 75% light and below which is still very usable because it is so bright. Can’t really think of anything else. It took a long time and a lot of testing but I am very happy with the decision.

You should go with the XGIMI Horizon 20 (Pro). It has either 4k 60 Hz or 1080p 240hz with VRR and very low 1ms input lag. I have the base version and it's great so far.

I have the horizon 20 pro (less brightness than max) and the one thing that you glossed over the deserves a bit more attention is the optical lens shift. IMO it’s a literal Godsend feature for someone like me who needs a bit of flexibility in mounting position as it preserves image quality. It also has optical zoom so you can go between 1.2-1.5 throw ratios without needing any digital alteration. Haven’t even touched digital picture correction yet. Picture quality is fantastic with 4k content. Don’t have a screen yet, but on my beige off-white wall (probably around 0.8-0.85 gain, mostly smooth with a little orange peel texture) the colors are still fantastic. Will probably be ordering the Silver Ticket HC screen soon, which should improve contrast, lessen the slight color tint from my paint, and brighten the image a bit. Overall super happy with this projector so far.

Xigimi Horizon 20 Pro or Max, the ceiling mount make it look slick, it has lens shift allows vertical and horizontal adjustment. Good integrated sound and bluetooth audio works well.

I got Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro, for living room home cinema and gaming. It handles 4K 60hz until 1080 240hz, with (if I remember right) sub 10ms latency, basically perfect gaming projector with very good luminosity even for sunny days. You could also check the base model, which is just 28% less bright.

really? i compared the venerated valerion visionmaster pro2 with the xgimi horizon 20 pro and felt that overall the latter was better. a bit brighter, punchier colors, and black levels were still good. this is with calibration however.

Depends on the size screen youre tryig to have. I disagree with other commenter on projectors. they arent hard to set up, they are easier to move, and if you want a large screen way outpace an oled, because pricing gets high for big OLED tvs and the bigger they are, the more stationary they becime. A decent 4k projector starts around $1000 you can get a 65inch oled for that price. If youre going to be using a projector at 80inch screensize or smaller, get an oled in your price range, the image quality of oled is unparalleled, But if yiu want 80inches or bigger projectors are awesome, and most play 3d too. However these days you can get a 77inch oled for $1500, so not a huge difference,and high end projectors will cost at least 2x that. I have a 42inch c2 oled in my bedroom, a xgimi 1080p projector casting about 75-80inchs in there as well that only cost $200 and I use both alot depending on what im watching and lighting conditions. In my family room I have a 42 inch cheap 4k tv, and the xgimi horizon s pro (about $1200 when i bought it) 2024 model 4k projector casting about 120inch screen. I never even turn on the 42inch in the family room, the projector is just so captivating because the size, and while image quality is less than that of an OLED, its still beautiful and 3d movies that size are fun to watch as an added bonus. Gaming on a huge screen is also just a lot of fun. Bright light and basically all projectors become bad, so if you have no control over lighting and watch a lot during the day, a projector is no good. Like everything, there are positives and negatives to both.
