Think 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.
Less 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.
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!!!
It's great for the price.
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
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.
The 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
I picked a xgimi horizon pro "4k" upgrading from halo plus. V happy with it.
