First Impressions
The NexiGo Aurora Pro is big and heavy and requires an outlet to function, so it isnt made with portability in mind. It has no automatic image correction feature, so youll need to manually adjust the focus and image geometry. The projector has two adjustable feet towards the front of the unit, letting you adjust the vertical projection angle. This model has a 60W speaker system with two 15W woofers and two 15W tweeters.This projector uses a laser light source, which, according to the manufacturer, requires no maintenance and will last for 25,000 hours or more. Its not a true 4k projector, as it uses pixel shifting to create a higher-resolution image. This offers better quality than a pure 1080p projector but isnt as good as a native 4k projector. Its a UST projector, so it can project an 80 image at a distance of about 3.9 and up to a 150 image at a distance of 17.3".

Viewing Experience | The NexiGo Aurora Pro projector delivers strong performance with its good peak brightness, making it suitable for use in moderately lit rooms. The brightness is consistent across the screen, with only minimal darker corners. It excels in contrast, providing deep blacks in darker scenes, which enhances the viewing experience in low-light environments. However, while it boasts a wide color gamut, the color reproduction is lacking in vibrancy, especially in brighter scenes where whites appear slightly purple and other colors may not be accurately represented. Overall, the projector performs well in terms of brightness and contrast, but falls short in color accuracy, particularly in certain scenes. |

System Experience | The NexiGo Aurora Pro features built-in Android TV, enabling casting through Miracast and AirPlay. However, a recent firmware update has diminished the user experience by removing the app-style home menu. The projector includes three HDMI 2.1 ports, one serving as an eARC port, and offers 1080p gaming at 240Hz, though it struggles with frame skipping at 4k @ 120Hz. Additionally, it supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, enhancing connectivity options. Overall, the NexiGo Aurora Pro presents a mixed experience, with strong connectivity and gaming specs but hindered by software limitations. |

Overall Impression:
The Aurora Pro projector offers an impressive HD video experience and excellent sound quality, making it a strong contender for home entertainment.
