"I've had a couple of GoPros and they've worked flawlessly on everything from countless mountain bike rides to snorkeling all over the world. ... I still have a 7 Black because it just wont die."
"My Hero 7 Black has been through snorkeling in Hawaii, outdoor expeditions in Alaska, and 18 mile hikes up Half Dome and back... for years..."
"as for myself - I have this projector for 2 years and 0 issues"

"the 3LCD technology is completely free of the rainbow effect (as it turned out, I'm super sensitive to RBE: I got a headache after watching a show on the Hisense C1...)"
"I say JVC (as an ls12000 owner!) you will get better black levels - if that’s important to you. ... What I would ask is are black levels really important to you? Whilst the Epson is very good it’s not as good as JVC. ... If it helps, I’m very happy with my Epson after a few tweaks. But I wish the black floor was lower - purely personal concern having owned JVC."
"The 500 is great for dedicated home theater. ... Amazing projector though. The picture quality is top notch."

"I’m just projecting it in a sunny room on a white wall and it’s blowing my mind."
"I really love 3D, and the Pro2 does far better with 3D due to its brightness. 3D requires more light because shutter glasses AND the "split" of doing both eyes from the same projector effectively cuts your light in half. This is why people complain that 3D is dark."
"I m impressed by the color mapping, brightness ,contrast and sharpness, its super sharp even if its currently keystoned to hell while i m waiting for some brackets."

"Interface that doesn't feel like if I move the projector a hair, I just lost 2 hours of my life repositioning it."
"The auto focus and screen correction is also awesome for flexibility."
"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."

"cannot game with them in the same way because of unique tuning ... will use the MEST almost for everything other than games"
"IEMs like B2 Dusk, Timeless and Performer 5 if I remember correctly were rather bad for gaming compared to Zero Red, Vivace or EM6L which are perfectly good. ... Looping the same gaming recordings with the first ones I struggle hearing directions that already know in advance while with the others it's obvious."
"I used 7 hz time less 2 there imagining is not that good but the fantastic fantastic for music!! But sadly i want for gaming!"

"Compared to the C2’s Vidaa OS, the Xgimi’s Android TV is horrid it response. ... I knew it was sluggish and clunky feeling, but I didn’t know how bad it was until I got the C2. ... It’s doable, just extremely clunky. ... it’s just something with these XGIMI projectors that just makes using the software part a clunky experience."
"more sluggish built in os"

"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."
"I think I am mostly missing some contrast (the blacks and greys are pretty bad)"
"its only real weakness is the contrast"

"there is no native netflix (except for a desktop /browser version) we use apple tv for that"
"add - I also wanted to add to my post is that no Netflix support and probally no point in trying and it you looking for that it may be worth it to get thr mogo 3 or 4 pro as it has that support. I dont care for it as I have a PS5 and I donr rely on the android 11 os tv to do my entertainment I just wanted something basic with YouTube it has it so that'd fine. But a big con not for me but for others is lack of Amazon"
"the other possible inconvinience would be netflix app not available"
andrey_grinchuk 1.0Think of not only gaming, HDR, lumens shmumens but maintanance as well. if you buy a projector as per your example - prepare to replace the lamp every 1-2 years depending on screen time. I'd steer you toward LCD or laser projectors. I personally have XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector, 2200 ANSI Lumens, it has gaming mode and ultra fast gaming modes. with these projectors the screentime untill issues is 30k, lamp 15k. At the same time I never owned a laser projector but I believe these are best for short throw distances. P.S. the XGIMI recently released a new projector and I heard people praising it. as for myself - I have this projector for 2 years and 0 issues the only inconvinience I got is that I can't just install steam remote play onto the projector, I believe that's due to it having 2 separate boards one for android and second for projection which is responsible for gaming at low latency quoted 18ms so HDMI gaming only, the other possible inconvinience would be netflix app not available but I love my jellyfin, cloudstream apps and to read r/Piracy they got some fun articles there. [https://a.co/d/hxJRcfE](https://a.co/d/hxJRcfE) \- here's the new version, it's way under your budget and I guess covers all of the things.
Dull_Analyst269 1.0Less than 1 year ago I bought the xgimi Horizon Pro 4K, was super impressed by build quality and thought it‘s a good start. ($1100) also the picture quality was OK. I would like to upgrade to an even better image. -hisense C2 ($2200) -JMGO N1S Ultimate ($2200) -BenQ TK710 / TK710STI ($1500 / $1800) -BenQ X3000i ($2300) Or wait for the Xgimi Horizon 20 / pro ($unknown as not available yet) Use: 80% movies/shows and 20% gaming in the future (GTA). Which one would you get? Will the horizon 20 pro be similar to the x3000i? Or is a BenQ TK710/sti an upgrade enough?
I had the same situation and went for the xgimi horizon pro 4k 1 year ago. It‘s been an amazing starter projector for me. Now I am looking to buy either the 20 base or 20 pro. I can recommend xgimi.
Hermits-Cabin 1.0Xgimi horizon pro 4k $999 US Dollars..on sale now ..sound great and picture great
Icy_Expert_8524 1.0Xgimi horizon pro 4k. Been using this for 2 years and loved it. No complaints and amazing 4k quality for the price.
JayceOoiCom 1.0For the price, yes. Go for it!!!
It's great for the price.
LightIntheApple 1.0Hello, 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
No-Coconut-3001 1.0its 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.
Old_Wafer_6216 1.0The newer model is amazing so if it's half as good just buy it, as I've a older nebula 4k which didn't get great reviews compared to this one and I thought that was great. Compared to a projector from 5 years before these lasers are so much better
Then_Explanation6961 1.0I picked a xgimi horizon pro "4k" upgrading from halo plus. V happy with it.
Timely-Jelly-584 1.0I have that projector, it's really good. A lot of people were recommending the JMGO N1S over it but at the time it was $200 more. (I paid $600 USD) Since it's not on sale now though I'd spend the $750 and get the JMGO.
