XGIMI - HORIZON Pro

First of all, this is the best opening line I've read in this channel. Matt Foley would be proud. Highly recommend the XGIMI (say, horizon pro) over benq IMHO. I'm a bit of a fanboy for XGIMI but it delivers and checks every box I need. 1. Great picture. 2. Great built in sound. 3. Interface that doesn't feel like if I move the projector a hair, I just lost 2 hours of my life repositioning it. 4. Google TV built in + 2 HDMI ports for my PS5, Apple, TV, or Xbox, switch, etc. 5. Intuitive remote 6. UX that doesn't require me to be ALL IN on one platform and just makes it easy to nav around my apps and tools or inputs.

XGIMI horizon pro works awesome in daylight. Here's a quick video from today in my bright office: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/19-VJNuk95h1HEz2Z9rzGQITmGmd0syXY/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19-VJNuk95h1HEz2Z9rzGQITmGmd0syXY/view?usp=sharing)

It's a great piece of tech. I own both the S Max and the older Horizon model. Since it isn't very big, you might need to move to another location for a day, so having good speakers also pays off. I think it's a solid choice.

Hi, Really interesterd in your feedback too. I actually own a Xgimi Horizon Pro (my eighth projector but the first 4K PJ at home). Coming from JVC (X30 in France) and then BenQ W1120 (my two last 1080p PJ), I wanted to taste the 4K. I knew that its contrast is weak but this Xgimi has other strenghts. Now, I'm torned between changing again for a new PJ or getting a new big TV like TCL 98" or Hisense 100". If I stand with projectors, it won't be a laser one because 1/ the speckle 2/ the rainbow effects... I'm sensitive to the RBE and see a lot of these with laser projectors. I've been to a demo of the Hisense C2 Ultra and I got an headache after half an hour in addition to the RBE. So I think these kind of projectors are definitely not for me. I've seen Ekki Schmitt's review (cine4home.de) of the BenQ W2720i on youtube and it seems to be a very good choice with accurate colors. The only backdraw should be the brigthness. With 1300 to 1500 lumens after calibration, you are limited to a 3 meters width screen (which is already nice). Because of the dlp chip used in this BenQ (0.47), the contrast is not as good as with a 0.65 chip but Ekki Schmitt said in his review that the dynamic contrast was about 3000:1 ratio without "pumping". So it should be very usable. If it's true, this BenQ could be a bargain. Very excited to read your feedback about it...

Xgimi horizon pro 4k $999 US Dollars..on sale now ..sound great and picture great

Xgimi horizon pro 4k. Been using this for 2 years and loved it. No complaints and amazing 4k quality for the price.

For the price, yes. Go for it!!!

Hello, you mean the xgimi horizon pro right? i checked online and didn't find a xiaomi one. I got a horizon pro since 2021 or something and we use it almost daily (next to a aura and a halo+). yes everyroom has a projector in our home except for the kitchen (Most of the itme) the horizon pro 4k is a great projector, however, if you use internal speakers, you see that sound engeering has come a long way. back in the day the pro 4k had impressive audio but its 2025 and xgimi brought new proejctors and had sound improved, there, too. - sorry to begin with a "downside" but you asked for insides. in regards to android: if you use a blu ray player, you are using external inputs, which is possible. over the years we had our tv-reciver connected, a ps5 and a switch. there is no native netflix (except for a desktop /browser version) we use apple tv for that its bright enough to be used outsides,too. the biggest I went was 120 inch on a white screen. i love the design of the remote; which feels like a premium product. the horizon pro 4k supports exfat, which is a plus, too. so if you have any questions, tell me. the fan is okay by todays standard, but ventilation has come a long way, too by now. my summary: i love my xgimi horizon pro. I sold my benq non-smart 5.000 Ansi lumen for it. and i never looked back.

Hello, i suggest to save up a bit and grab a refurb xgimi horizon pro. its 4k,its bright enough for this scenario and its a bit compact enough to transport. we used it outdoor countless times in the past years https://preview.redd.it/y18gmqrwsy6f1.png?width=3412&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc14bb37e8b647a4a3302d5e70290cb1ac909c2c

Okay - here is the third option you didnt ask for. But i JUST got the xgimi horizon s pro, and im blown away by the quality of this projector. It falls into your budget, it was just on a mothers day sale, so expect it to probably go a bit down in price again soon. Cannoy recommend it enough

The only problem I see with them, is that they are still using 0,47” chip, I just checked their website and Pro s Max specs, and if they didn’t learn how to cool it down properly it doesn’t survive one warranty, I’ve got 2 units from them, Horizon Pro and both got dead pixel within one warranty period. I liked the projector itself, it was bright, juicy colors, silent, good audio system, almost everything I need, but then all the issues come up, it can’t properly read the 4k files from the Usb(was blaming usb 2.0, but it was such a lame not to be able to play 4k from your usb stick, stuttering every 10 seconds), and then pixels started dying…the last drop was the service, just to get in touch with them and get replacement was taking several months, not joking. So I don’t know how they are now, I’m just afraid of them. I didn’t want to get a projector that will be loosing pixels in a year or so, and then not being able to do anything about it…

its only real weakness is the contrast, for the rest it's a great product, even after being on the market for a couple of years.

I currently have a Xgimi horizon pro. Do you think this one is better? The horizon has 1500 lumens but the difference shouldn’t be very noticeable in practice, right?

I did ton of research. Don't want to go through it all but everything screamed go laser. The Hisense C1 was recommended a bunch. They make a c2 and I think I remember seeing C3 just released. After all was said and done, with a throw distance similar to yours, I bought the Nebula Cosmos 4k SE when it was on sale for $1000 on black Friday. It's actually a hybrid laser/led. I love it. The other finalist was the XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K (LED tech). Brighter specs, but more expensive and the Nebula got better YouTube reviews. I didn't need the extra brightness as I was not dealing with ambient light. Use it in a dedicated 150" theater with lights off for movies, shows, live sports, and gaming. 7.1.4 Dolby vision sound. https://preview.redd.it/drvby6qzmnfe1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2262447ab22722550ad13829c74289f8c679994

The other projector you should look into is the xgimi Horizon Pro. I have seen this side by side with the jvc np5 and epson ls12000. During day and bright scenes the xgimi is just as good as any of the other projectors. The black levels are the best but for the price you can't beat it.

Xgimi pro 4k. 1k price

Being realistic, you are going to have problems dealing with any ambient light in the room with the price point you are at. A model like the Nexigo Trivision Ultra is more in line with where you would want to be, or a BenQ HT2060. The XGimi Horizon is a nice model, but isn't super bright and will need a dark room to operate the best. With ambient light, you will have a very low contrast ratio. You want to be aware of the throw distance as well..

Like you I have a Mogo 3 pro. In my opinion if you want to upgrade you should go for the Horizon series always by Xgimi

I was considering it but went for the XGIMI Horizon instead, which will arrive next Tuesday. What made the difference for me is the brightness difference and since most reviews I read have a hard time distinguishing 4K from 1080 on this one.
