TheXGIMI HORIZON Pro 4kprojector isnt designed to be portable, as you need to plug it into an outlet, but its still somewhat lightweight. This unit does have full auto keystone correction with intelligent screen alignment and obstacle avoidance, so it detects if there are objects in the frame and adjusts it correspondingly. It also has autofocus, so you dont need to do manual image corrections on this projector, making it easy to set up. It has two 8W Harmon/Kardon speakers, so you wont need to worry about connecting it to a soundbar if you move it.This DLP projector uses an LED bulb as its light source, and its rated for up to 30,000 hours by the manufacturer, so you likely wont ever have to worry about replacing it. It doesnt do true 4k as it uses pixel shifting to create a higher resolution image. This offers better quality than 1080p but doesnt look as good as native 4k.

Viewing Experience | The XGIMI HORIZON offers a solid performance with adequate peak brightness, making it suitable for dark room viewing, though it struggles in well-lit environments. Its brightness uniformity is commendable, ensuring a consistent image across the projection. While the native contrast is passable, blacks tend to appear raised, which is more noticeable in brighter scenes, but this is acceptable in darker settings. Additionally, the projector boasts a wide color gamut, effectively covering the Rec. 709 color space for SDR content, despite some inaccuracies in blue tones. Overall, the XGIMI HORIZON provides a satisfactory viewing experience, particularly in low-light conditions. |
