XGIMI - HORIZON Ultra

Horizon Ultra is the export version of the Chinese version RS 10 Plus, which sells for $850 in China. Other than the price, it is a solid machine. I have its big brother, RS 10 Ultra, and I've been so far very satisfied with it (only key difference being brightness). Blacks are meh, this is what you get from any home projectors. 60Hz is also by design -- it uses a 240Hz 1080p DMD with quadruple scanning, so 4 scans per 4K frame, yielding 60Hz. Mine came with 120Hz gaming mode, though it only works at 1080p.

Nebula and Xgimi mogo2 are objectively worse than HT2050A. Horizon ultra gets much brighter, but the contrast is bad and black are really lifted. If horizon ultra is in your budget then I'd choose the refurbished hisense c1 over that. The improvement of HT2050A over the nebula or mogo2 is going to be much more dramatic than the improvement of c1 over HT2050A though.

Ordered last night, coming hopefully in couple of days. Couldn’t wait to get hands on it and post my impressions. Had ultra before and did not like the black levels, so returned within the one month period.

Same thoughts, phenomenal color accuracy that makes up for the mediocre contrast ratio. I love mine, got it for 1500 CAD.

I also had the ultra briefly, but coming from the Home Cinema 3800 the black levels were unbearable. This time around I gotta say I am pleasantly surprised

I got the XGIMI Horizon Ultra too (I think it’s considered a lifestyle projector) as my first living room projector / TV screen. I am a normie pedestrian in an NYC apartment and the projector meets all of my needs. It’s not perfect but it’s easy to operate and the picture quality and sound are very good. A 100” TV screen will simply not fit in our apartment but a 100” retractable projector screen that comes down from the ceiling does, saving us ample space and allowing us to optimize our furniture arrangement. It really impresses our guests when they can have a theater-esque experience in our tiny space. Very satisfied with my purchase!

I am delighted with my xgimi horizon ultra in an acoustically treated room with black panels on both walls and ceiling. This is accompanied by a Sonos arc ultra + 2 era 300 sound system as rear speakers and a mini sub. My outfit makes me not want to leave the house even in hot water. It is a true high-level cinematic immersion with 4K image and Dolby Atmos sound in many films. I am 100% a fan of a projector.

i game on projector since 2018..lately on the horizon ultra..never going back to tv for sure

I just pulled the trigger on a XGIMI Horizon Ultra and am extremely happy with it. Also have a Nexigo Trivision Ultra on the way to compare and will keep whichever’s better. Both are around the $1500 mark right now on Amazon

nice review I wanted a C2 but was out of my budget and got a Xgimi Horizon Ultra for half the price, its good but not perfect

Xgimi ultra 4k with Dolby Vision second up would be Valerion, again for the money

I have XGIMI Ultra and it's been great

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.
