Thanks for the video. Sadly this projector at full brightness has terrible contrast of 240:1 and that really kills the deal. I hear that they have a firmware update coming in 3days ( Sep 23rd) to raise it to about 300:1 but that that is still not good. I compared it to my Hisense and Optoma and was a bit disappointed hence had to return it.
@@CanadaSocial How large is your screen to need to run this PJ at full brightness - It auto sets to 8 on the iris with a 4 metre screen and then its easy to tweak the settings to create a more contrast look. Then it holds its own with a 15k Sony and is better than my previous twice the size and more expensive BenQ. Thats before you even get to dolby vision.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem I have a 120 and 150 inch mate. I found the blacks looking like greys. It just felt dull when compared to my other projectors. Did you notice that the blacks were more like greys? I don’t think the Dolby vision settings helped much, I really wanted to like this one but was disappointed because of the contrast ratio leading to a dull picture quality in comparison. If I didn’t have the other projectors I would not have realized it. My wife actually caught it first and that says something LOL
@@CanadaSocial Fair enough, on a 150 inch your unlikely to have needed full brightness but every room and screen is different that matters. I found the black level to be raised slightly because the brightness tracking was off a little, which required changing the gamma setting, slightly lowering the brightness by about 2/3 and colour up by 2/3 - then a slight tweak in the white balance and bang great image. Dolby Vision slightly different tweaks
I have just been sent a link to a video where XGIMI show some performance numbers from the Horizon Ultra and its between 350 and 950:1 contrast depending on where the Iris is set. Max is not ideal - as I mentioned before 8 or below then a tweak to the brightness setting in the picture menu your good.. Although with very high contrast content like Dolby Vision 4K UHD Disc, Not streaming full brightness could still look great.
We have been using the XGIMI Horizon now for 2 weeks! It has changed my life! As a great lover of cinema, at age of 67 ... its changed my life! For me to be able to project 4K, Blu-ray and ever "lowly" DVD and TV is wonderful! Already a fan!
Amazing how fast projectors developing! I have the horizon pro (and I love it), but this is on next level with Dolby Vision. Totally game changer for a lot of people who are new to projectors.
Totally agree, Terry - in terms of innovation, performance and price, this looks absolutely stunning. Surely a contender for Product of the Year? Hopefully XGIMI will adopt all your constructive suggestions when they come to develop a Mk. II version. Really keen to get a demo!
Hi Terry, today I popped into Nottingham hifi Superfi & car audio and the owner mentioned he'd meet you at some time or another and said that your a really nice guy who is very passionate about what you do. I comment that ALL your reviews are always helpful never dull and always informative. Keep up the great work Terry because we need you and your well loved. Peace 🙏
Wow, that's really a game changer and hopefully wakes up the industry to bring on some real competition at this price range. Also, it's always impressive how much info and features you cover in your reviews, you really leave no stones unturned.😎
As this potentially opens up the home theatre market to a larger audience, would a mini series on the ultra be a good idea, its something i would find useful. From mounting options for small rooms (shelf or ceiling behind a couch), how to blackout a room (if required), even simple stuff like having a rug to absorb sound over hard floors, upgrades like a full surround sound system and where to mount it, hiding wires, a projector screen. Getting into home theatre is alot of learning
What a fantastically useful review! I have a home theater system and run everything through my receiver. It's still all 1080p but at some point I'm going to get a PS5 and will slowly move everything to 4K. In addition to support for HDR I'd like better black levels than I get from my Epson 3100 and this would probably fit the bill and has made my 4K shopping list. Thanks!
I am new to your channel. However, seeing the Elysian 4 in the background, the high quality production, the length of the video and considering your wording, I am very much looking forward to this review!
Also worth checking out the wide range of affordable UST projectors for real world use - the main brands are expensive but a good 4k Chinese option (they all mostly run the same hardware) can be had for around £1200+. I got a middling 1080p one for the garage and it's great - has none of the projector issues with an ALR screen and soundbar built in essentially!
Nice, I have a Xgimi H1 with the chinese firmware. I 'resurrected' it with a chromecast which made it much more versatile eg I couldn't get the projector to connect to my NAS, but I can do that fine with the chromecast. If I upgrade soon, this Horizon Ultra is top of the list.
Great review, thank you. Do you know if the gaming mode settings are customizable? I read that with the older horizon pro projector the image settings are not transferable to the game mode. Gaming mode is preset and cannot be changed. Would be interesting to know what options the horizon ultra has.
Excellent review. I was considering upgrading to the xgimi horizon pro but after watching this I think i will go for the ultra. I'm currently using a picopix max from Philips. This will be a major upgrade.
Solid review, thanks. Having to mount the power brick as well as the projector in a ceiling mount setup is annoying. Can of iron bru to show height of unit would have been great 👍
Thank you for a rounded review. What i found unbelievable is how pricey it is with the sole merchant who carries it in aliexpress as of now, more than $2250!!! I hope that by 11-11 event there will be more merchants carrying this model and, at similar price given to you.
Hi Terry, interesting article, i also noticed in this UA-cam article that in the background you have a pair off Zangalli speakers as i have, what are the sub woofers there and the rear speakers. Is this a music setup room, looks lovely. Thanks Terry hope to get an answer 👍
I've watched and read a couple of reviews for this machine now, and it simply sounds to good to be true. I hope to be able to test it for myself at a local store very soon, because I thought to be already done with decision making in favor of the HT 4550i, but now am I'm not sure anymore.
I don’t know about too good to be true but it’s offering a hell of a lot for what it is. Sometimes products come along that do that and they move every other product along, the kick up the ass that’s needed
Thank you so much for this review! :-) Seems like a really solid product! Was wondering, what's it called when a projector can actually match those movies shot in full cinema-scope? You know, so there's no black bars to be seen on the top and bottom? Basically it just goes from it's standard 16:9 image and expands out on both sides?
The projector doesn’t do anything, it just shows a 2.35:1 image and then you resize the image to fill the scope screen. The black bars are there you just don’t see them if you shine into black
I can’t find any info on how you would connect a Sonos Arc with this. Would you just use one hdmi port for your Apple TV and the other out to the soundbar?
Interesting you mention about sound coming from the projector, with that amazing set up, the sound would come from the screen. I have never known a projector without a 3.5 jack for connection to an external amp. I loved your video, but not the product. It looked like a box, and you kept mentioning Dolby Vision, at the end of the day, DV is just better quality like DMR is. Excellent produced video though. Thank you.
Sorry I don’t know what DMR is? If you mean dynamic metadata hdr yes that is what it is but it’s also a little more than that as it’s integration is so wide spread so it’s more of an end to end solution dynamic hdr solution rather than an after adapted one like you see with Sony and jvc projectors as an example
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Thanks for your great reply. When IMAX released a film in 70mm film, DMR was the upgrading process used from the 35mm negative , and the end result was amazing on screen.
I didn’t see it in the menu no but there is a huge amount of sharpening available. Out of box is 20/100 and that was too much imo as I mentioned in the review
Fantastically thoughtful, well organized review! I am curious to know a couple things... 1. How did it do with showing details in the blacks? And 2. Let's say you are using Bluetooth headphones. Can you delay the video to sync it with the usual delay in a bluetooth broadcast? and Lastly, I just wanted to say that I couldn't stop drooling over those subwoofers in the background. I'm pretty sure I've seen these reviewed but can you remind what they are again? Thanks man. I appreciate your work. Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic here in Boston. (P.S. never mind about the subs. Your link came up up the end of the video. And you are the reason why I am already familiar with them hahaha)
The subs are the REL No.31 awesome subs I am very lucky to have here at the moment. Detail in the PJ black was very good, I didn’t notice black crush there was very good detail with Dolby vision content less good with streamed content and depending on where the stream was coming from. I didn’t test Bluetooth headphones I actually forgot about the feature until I was scripting my review after I finished all the testing sorry about that
Hello from the UK, great review as always. Have you any plans to review any of the new’ish Arcam range of AVR’s, since the new range is supposed to be bug free?
To be fair pretty sure it’s almost the same firmware on all the Arcams 10 20 30 11 21 31 etc and the majority of the bugs have been ironed out for some time now
can this projector play mp4 and mkv files from a external hard drive connected to the usb ports of this projector as am thinking of taking it abroad complete with my 3 or 4 2 TB hard drives
Thanks for the detailed nice review!!! I have a dedicated home theater room totally blacked out, no light. Currently have Benq W5700 with Elite screen 125" white screen. Very happy with the current setup. But after watching so many positive reviews, I have preordered this and is launching in Australia in another 2 weeks. Could you please tell me if this new Xgimi projector will be an upgrade to my current benq w5700? If yes, do you think upgrading the screen to 135" Grey ALR screen will give any additional benefits over the white screen? My room is totally dark. Thanks.
My last projector was a benq w5700 I think you see some improvement yes, benq is pretty good though but I found it’s a little soft in places and a bit mushy for colour. The XGIMI is not perfect and will need a little picture settings tinkering but I think you should like it :) it’s a lot quieter than the benq which I found really noisey
Thanks for your reply@@PursuitPerfectSystem much appreciated. Could you also pelase advise if Elite Grey ALR screen (gain 1.2) will be better option for this projector or Elite Sable white (gain 1.3)? I am looking to change my screen to 135".
I have an ALR screen coming so will do some tests, I have never seen an ALR screen in a pitch black room to know if you get more contrast over a white screen. There is also dark and there is pitch black aka every room surface absorbs light such as having a black velour on the walls and ceiling. If the room is just dark then yes ALR should be better but again I am still learning here too
great vid terry. very interesting to see that the prices should fall now hopefully of the big players.i paid 4.5 grand for my laser epson 4k. only question is ,can the xgimi be fitted to the ceiling ?
I think you could fit it to a ceiling it has an auto flip mode for being upside down. It would just be a different fitting compared to a normal projector but once it’s screwed on to that fitting it’s not coming off unless you unscrew it
You would have to ask that question in a few years time this is a brand new product. It’s claimed 25000 hours of life for the laser engine so that’s a pretty long time.
I haven’t posted me settings and I can’t recall them off the top of my head. I will be doing some more testing and comparison with it soon so will see if I can share some then but every room and screen will be a bit different
I wonder if there's a short throw conversion kit one could use with this projector. I've used professional projectors for over 40 years, and I am SO done with standard inline projection. Was kind of disappointed to see this projector is not short throw. Thanks for showing this product.
Thanks for this! Im dilemaring over spending £5k on an LS12000 and HDFury or this cheap beauty and save a load. Sure not as much but because you said not night and day. Just better for the Sony. Well it may be the option. 😮
One complaint I have with Xgimi projectors is lack of backlit remotes. There is no excuse for this in 2023. None…. My 1080P projector from like 2008 has one. Also, the other problem I found out only AFTER I bought my Xgimi projector, was that you cannot project content on Roku in 4K, because the projector is not certified with the correct 4K copy protection, in order to watch in 4K. Which really kills the point of having a 4K projector in the first place. Yes, I have my high end 4K Blu Ray player and Dolby Atmos receiver system. However, much, if not most of our content we consume today, is done by streaming. Even for physical media enthusiasts like me with 1000’s of physical discs… Those two things really bummed me out after buying my projector. I was super disappointed and have thought about selling my Xgimi 4K that has literally less than 10 hours on it since last Christmas… 🤷♂️☹️
@@PursuitPerfectSystemnot sure it applies to Apple. Or out of the states. Depends a lot on licensing. But here is what I got as answers directly from Xgimi and from Roku. Because the projectors they release don’t contain the HDCP 2.2 HDMI protocol, you cannot stream any 4K content through Roku with this projector. I tried to find workarounds, every single way possible. What happens, is my 4K Roku starts out in 4K 60. Then it automatically kicks the content down to 1080P 60 as soon as it starts to play. And this is because the copy protection can’t “shake hands” with the projector, because it isn’t 2.2 HDMI compliant. Is all of this overly protective stuff dumb? I think so… But that doesn’t change the fact we can’t play any 4K content legally on this projector that is streaming… This may be why Xgimi has their own platform on the projector for apps. But to be honest, I don’t like their platform. And it certainly has nowhere near the apps available on Roku. Or at least not easily. Plus, it projects apps like VUDU in SD. And by doing the apps natively in the projector, there isn’t a convenient or easy way to bring out the sound and have your Dolby Atmos. This issue is a major shortcoming in their 4K projectors. 🤷♂️ Here is the link, to Roku on the subject. support.roku.com/article/208755468
I appreciate its not ideal but surely its easier to change your streaming platform to something other than Roku than it is changing the projector. Streaming player like apple tv are very cheap to change projectors are not
@@PursuitPerfectSystem cheaper? Certainly it is cheaper. But not sure that would solve the issue. The real issue, is that the projector is not HDCP compliant with HDMI 2.2. Other streaming solutions are likely to have the same issue. Either now or if they upgrade their copy protection protocol. Again, I don’t know if this is an issue out of the states. So other regions may not be dealing with this. But here, it cripples the amount of content you can watch in 4K. Basically, only 4K discs with Xgimi… Xgimi is well aware of the issue. From emails from me and me getting responses. As well as another cinephile like me, who emailed them after seeing my posts about this issue, elsewhere. I suspect they don’t want to pay the licensing fees to become 2.2 HDMI compliant.
I assume I would have had the same issue but I didn't get it on the Ultra so either they have changed that or its not an issue with an appletv for some reason I dont know. I dont think its an issue on the Horizon Ultra at least and I dont think 2.2 is just in the states pretty sure its a global thing with there not being regions anymore for content
The spec says 0.47inch DMD so I don’t think it’s native 4k but that’s not something can you really tell. Not sure about 1080p I think it would be ok and depend on the content quality. 4 metre screen really punishes the content. Delay time not sure sorry
The black levels are not as good as much more expensive projectors such as the sony I compared to but I wouldn't say the image is washed out. But part of the setting up is finding the right picture balance to have as much contrast as possible as this much light output will lighten the image and reduce the perceived contrast. I found a little settings tinkering helped content depending, and I am sure a pro calibrator could do a better job hence my comment. What you are referring to I have seen from loads of projectors its always the same setup fight light and brightness impact vs contrast and the screen and light reflectivity in the room play a massive part of that too.
Agree, as long as you are not an avid Gamer :( 4K 60hz 18 milliseconds. So no 120hz and no sub 10 millisecond latency and so despite the wonderful HDMI 2.1 connection (and everything else that it has to offer... as in a TON), it unfortunately falls short for Gamers. Dang-nab-it, oh so close... the wait continues...
It is a nice review, thanks. In comparison a similar priced short throw laser projector has probably more applications to mimic a TV set. With the right paint (black diffuser) on the wall you get midday projection on a 4-meter wall. Power consumption is an issue for me if i needed to buy one of these. To use it as a daily driver it should not require more than 150 Watts and should have an ECO mode for smaller projection sizes.
No colour wheel is good but 1600 ansi is not that bright the horizon ultra is much brighter so I think the contrast is effected by this a lot and the image you see too, especially on a big screen smaller maybe not so much, but as you lower the brightness on the ultra the contrast gets better of course
@@PursuitPerfectSystem No problem. I discovered it a few months ago too, but it seems really interesting. In fact I was undecided between the two, the N1 costs a bit more and lacks Dolby Vision, for now they don't seem willing to pay for the license, but maybe they will implement it with a patch. If you can get the N1 Ultra, it wouldn't hurt to see a comparison from your point of view, I like your reviews, they are detailed.
I’m traveling overseas from the US to Europe and will stay in Europe for about a year. Do you think this projector is too big for carry on luggage? I wanna get one with me since Airbnb TVs usually small size.
Perhaps this projector would benefit from a black projector screen to make HDR pop more? Great review I hope XGIMI will make this in black some day. Maybe version 2 of this.
You see some in my video clips but that’s just the camera shutter speed being out of sync with the projectors refresh rate. In the flesh I didn’t see any but I am not susceptible to it. I had a BenQ DLP before and didn’t see it with that either
Thanks for the video. DLP is not generally considered "high end" in home projectors but I won't hold that against you as you did also say "affordable." 😉 Also, Dolby Vision is a laughable spec for projectors for the very reason you noted. Notice, even the Sony doesn't include it. I'm not sure what's going on with these new projectors being able to claim Dolby Vision support as they generally lack the required nits. I suspect Dolby may have relaxed it's specs in order to increase their market share and thus, licensing fees.
Maybe, in the PJ menu there is the option to choose 2.0 or 1.4 so not sure then, either way you dont really gain much, just dolby atmos sound over EARC
@@PursuitPerfectSystemwhile it’s true you many not care about the 3D feature and that’s fine But you’re or reviewing this product just for yourself or else there’s be no need to make a video and publish it, when you’re reviewing a product for mass consumption you have to review it taking everybody into consideration, Not reviewing an aspect just because you don’t care about it is a bad attitude to adopt
@@PursuitPerfectSystem well a versus would be nice im just sayin. Here in Europe its 200 € more, not a whole lot, same price bracket under 2000 range, brightness is the same but c1 should have better contrast but to each his own.
That is how DLP projectors work, they draw an image inside a border, what you do is oversize the image (move the projector back to make the image bigger) so the border is off the screen and on the screen is only the picture.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem thank you for your quick reply my bedroom is small where I’m limited it’s not visible during light scenes but dark ones lol. I wish the black levels were better I tried watching Prey on Disney plus and the night scenes were unwatchable but Luca was amazing
Could a bit more critical. This projector is lacking brightness and contrast for example. Some of the competitors are cheaper but have a higher brightness and contrast (like the Dangbei Mars Pro 4K or the Formovie X5).
2300 lumens and being as bright as a 15k Sony is not lacking brightness, contrast was not the best I have seen but it was good enough at the price and it has Dolby Vision which makes the other two redundant or at least worth the small premium
@@PursuitPerfectSystem According to The Hook Up (link below) the XGIMI can at max reach 2126 ANSI Lumens, but only when it "sounds like a jet engine" and is "heavily green shifted". At a more tolerable bright setting it sinks to 1560 Lumens, which isn't great. Meanwhile the X5 can reach 2270 Lumens comfortably. In cinema mode it's even 965 Lumens (XGIMI) vs. 1500 Lumens (X5). And then there's the contrast. For the X5 he measured 902:1, for the XGIMI 434:1 or 704:1 if the reduce the brightness is reduced. Yes, Dolby Vision has a slight advantage over HDR10, but the question is if it's really worth the couple hundred dollars more, especially considering the downside of brightness and contrast. Also keep in mind that Dolby Vision doesn't lower the not so great black levels of the XGIMI. The Hook Up demonstrated that well in his video. He also shows that the Hisense C1, which is only a bit more expensive, beats the XGIMI in almost every category. So yes, there is strong competition for the XGIMI. www.thesmarthomehookup.com/dolby-vision-projectors/
The XGIMI is around 900:1 contrast there is a video on their channel. Its more than bright enough for a 4 metre screen holding its own with a £15k sony - thats the real world not just numbers on paper. Dolby Vison is end to end tone mapping HDR10 has no tone mapping so bright scenes get washed out or bright areas of the screen get washed out, Dolby Vision helps to reduce that effect and its the defacto standard for all new content so yeah its worth it
Looks like a pretty sweet product, but the lack of 5-12V trigger signal port makes this a hard sell for me... The mechanized screen in my living room won't drop without that signal!
Faces look greenish, they have tried to Match 3 chip lcd color reproduction on a dlp which is unfortunately not possible on a single chip WRGB wheel tech.....
Not in the flesh they don't, if anything they look more blue out of the box but it doesn't matter as you can make adjustment - its impossible for a projector to be 100% accurate out of the box as its shining on a different colour screen or wall
The sample images show all sorts of tinges because I was taking them as I went along and was showing a number of different things in regard to the picture quality not everything perfect all the time. Native 4k I compared to a native 4k and I couldn’t see a difference in resolution not even close up on a 4 metre screen. Other picture quality factors matter more
@@PursuitPerfectSystem But at what cost you could buy 5 xgimis for the price of one of the 6000 Sonys, I have worked with the 5000 and 7000 and if the xgimi can at least come close in some areas to the 5/6 thats impressive.
According to this from XGIMI yes it will us.xgimi.com/blogs/projectors-101/projector-throw-distance-calculation#:~:text=If%20you%20want%20to%20project,use%20in%20home%20theater%20rooms.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem ok thanks a lot Terry. Just one more thing if you don’t mind. As I said projector would be at back of room up high on a shelf. Would I have to turn the xgimi upside down on the shelf. Cheers mate
Thanks for all the technical data, but did you mention the refresh rate? Watching a movie with 50/60 Hz is not delightful with all the flickering and even with 100/120 Hz many people still recognize a pulsating image. Only when we talk about 200/240 Hz we get an high end and ergonomic image.
What part the long sections where I show you the projector picture quality across various sources and formats supporting everything I said?? UA-cam paid me for you to watch the video that is all

Nice, I have a Xgimi H1 with the chinese firmware. I 'resurrected' it with a chromecast which made it much more versatile eg I couldn't get the projector to connect to my NAS, but I can do that fine with the chromecast. If I upgrade soon, this Horizon Ultra is top of the list.
Wow , thank you for spending the time with it Terry, looks bloody amazing for the price
Great review, thank you.
Do you know if the gaming mode settings are customizable? I read that with the older horizon pro projector the image settings are not transferable to the game mode. Gaming mode is preset and cannot be changed. Would be interesting to know what options the horizon ultra has.
Can't wait for the review of the Elysian 3's in the background. 😅
Excellent review. I was considering upgrading to the xgimi horizon pro but after watching this I think i will go for the ultra. I'm currently using a picopix max from Philips. This will be a major upgrade.
Solid review, thanks. Having to mount the power brick as well as the projector in a ceiling mount setup is annoying. Can of iron bru to show height of unit would have been great 👍
Fantastic review, 👍 and sub.
Best review on UA-cam. I just bought one of amazon. Can you post best settings you used.
Excellent review and the only person I trust with these things.....nice one T
Thanks Stephen
Thank you for a rounded review. What i found unbelievable is how pricey it is with the sole merchant who carries it in aliexpress as of now, more than $2250!!! I hope that by 11-11 event there will be more merchants carrying this model and, at similar price given to you.
You can buy it direct from the manufacturer for the price I mentioned or from Amazon the same
Nice vid tel 😊
Not as bright as an MLA OLED Dave :)
Hi sir your explain is awesome thank you 😊🙏 .. please do 200 screen demo please
Hi Terry, interesting article, i also noticed in this UA-cam article that in the background you have a pair off Zangalli speakers as i have, what are the sub woofers there and the rear speakers. Is this a music setup room, looks lovely. Thanks Terry hope to get an answer 👍
The Speakers are Wharfedale Elysian 3 and the subs REL: No.31 :). Cheers
I've watched and read a couple of reviews for this machine now, and it simply sounds to good to be true. I hope to be able to test it for myself at a local store very soon, because I thought to be already done with decision making in favor of the HT 4550i, but now am I'm not sure anymore.
I don’t know about too good to be true but it’s offering a hell of a lot for what it is. Sometimes products come along that do that and they move every other product along, the kick up the ass that’s needed
That exactly my situation. The Benq I can buy now. Have to wait for the Xgmi, I want to buy it from a local dealer.
How’s your thinking?
Thank you so much for this review! :-) Seems like a really solid product! Was wondering, what's it called when a projector can actually match those movies shot in full cinema-scope? You know, so there's no black bars to be seen on the top and bottom? Basically it just goes from it's standard 16:9 image and expands out on both sides?
The projector doesn’t do anything, it just shows a 2.35:1 image and then you resize the image to fill the scope screen. The black bars are there you just don’t see them if you shine into black
I can’t find any info on how you would connect a Sonos Arc with this. Would you just use one hdmi port for your Apple TV and the other out to the soundbar?
Interesting you mention about sound coming from the projector, with that amazing set up, the sound would come from the screen. I have never known a projector without a 3.5 jack for connection to an external amp. I loved your video, but not the product. It looked like a box, and you kept mentioning Dolby Vision, at the end of the day, DV is just better quality like DMR is. Excellent produced video though. Thank you.
Sorry I don’t know what DMR is? If you mean dynamic metadata hdr yes that is what it is but it’s also a little more than that as it’s integration is so wide spread so it’s more of an end to end solution dynamic hdr solution rather than an after adapted one like you see with Sony and jvc projectors as an example
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Thanks for your great reply. When IMAX released a film in 70mm film, DMR was the upgrading process used from the 35mm negative , and the end result was amazing on screen.
looks good but i want to see comparison v Anker NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K Projector
Great review! Does it have something like Sony’s reality creator sharpening tool? I find this makes a huge difference on 1080p content on my Sony.
I didn’t see it in the menu no but there is a huge amount of sharpening available. Out of box is 20/100 and that was too much imo as I mentioned in the review
Fantastically thoughtful, well organized review! I am curious to know a couple things... 1. How did it do with showing details in the blacks? And 2. Let's say you are using Bluetooth headphones. Can you delay the video to sync it with the usual delay in a bluetooth broadcast? and Lastly, I just wanted to say that I couldn't stop drooling over those subwoofers in the background. I'm pretty sure I've seen these reviewed but can you remind what they are again? Thanks man. I appreciate your work. Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic here in Boston. (P.S. never mind about the subs. Your link came up up the end of the video. And you are the reason why I am already familiar with them hahaha)
The subs are the REL No.31 awesome subs I am very lucky to have here at the moment.
Detail in the PJ black was very good, I didn’t notice black crush there was very good detail with Dolby vision content less good with streamed content and depending on where the stream was coming from.
I didn’t test Bluetooth headphones I actually forgot about the feature until I was scripting my review after I finished all the testing sorry about that
thanks for the quick response. you're awesome!
Hello from the UK, great review as always. Have you any plans to review any of the new’ish Arcam range of AVR’s, since the new range is supposed to be bug free?
To be fair pretty sure it’s almost the same firmware on all the Arcams 10 20 30 11 21 31 etc and the majority of the bugs have been ironed out for some time now
Ok, thanks (sorry for the delay) 👍
Hi again is there anyway to bring up video information on screen that will tell you if what you’re watching is playing in HD or 4K etc
Oooh Elysian 4's, waiting for that review. How do these compare to your previous kef reference 3's?
It’s the 3 also I haven’t plugged them in yet I literally just unboxed them to have in the background to look cool :)
Great review but for us projector newbies how did you play the discs through this 😊
I still have an Oppo 203 4K Disc player
Did you ever try seeing what the autofocus and auto screen sizing would do on a cinescope size?
Sorry no I didn’t have access to one
can this projector play mp4 and mkv files from a external hard drive connected to the usb ports of this projector as am thinking of taking it abroad complete with my 3 or 4 2 TB hard drives
Don’t forget your followers in the EU and euro prices. Look forward to the new Rega and PMC loudspeaker reviews 😊
Sorry if don’t have access to those price only what was sent to me. I did get you all a 5% discount though :)
can you take a look at the new PMC and Rega tower loudspeakers. cheers. excellent review as usual
How are the dark scenes? Most projectors I’ve seen in this price range have blurring.
Thanks for the detailed nice review!!!
I have a dedicated home theater room totally blacked out, no light. Currently have Benq W5700 with Elite screen 125" white screen. Very happy with the current setup.
But after watching so many positive reviews, I have preordered this and is launching in Australia in another 2 weeks.
Could you please tell me if this new Xgimi projector will be an upgrade to my current benq w5700? If yes, do you think upgrading the screen to 135" Grey ALR screen will give any additional benefits over the white screen? My room is totally dark.
Thanks.
My last projector was a benq w5700 I think you see some improvement yes, benq is pretty good though but I found it’s a little soft in places and a bit mushy for colour. The XGIMI is not perfect and will need a little picture settings tinkering but I think you should like it :) it’s a lot quieter than the benq which I found really noisey
Thanks for your reply@@PursuitPerfectSystem much appreciated. Could you also pelase advise if Elite Grey ALR screen (gain 1.2) will be better option for this projector or Elite Sable white (gain 1.3)? I am looking to change my screen to 135".
I have an ALR screen coming so will do some tests, I have never seen an ALR screen in a pitch black room to know if you get more contrast over a white screen.
There is also dark and there is pitch black aka every room surface absorbs light such as having a black velour on the walls and ceiling.
If the room is just dark then yes ALR should be better but again I am still learning here too
great vid terry. very interesting to see that the prices should fall now hopefully of the big players.i paid 4.5 grand for my laser epson 4k. only question is ,can the xgimi be fitted to the ceiling ?
I think you could fit it to a ceiling it has an auto flip mode for being upside down. It would just be a different fitting compared to a normal projector but once it’s screwed on to that fitting it’s not coming off unless you unscrew it
Slashgear has a review with pictures of it on the ceiling.
Thank you for this video But what about solidity and long term use Is there any information?
You would have to ask that question in a few years time this is a brand new product. It’s claimed 25000 hours of life for the laser engine so that’s a pretty long time.
thanks for your reply❤
Hi Terry. Apologies if it's this is already in the comments, but could you share your settings adjustments please?
I haven’t posted me settings and I can’t recall them off the top of my head. I will be doing some more testing and comparison with it soon so will see if I can share some then but every room and screen will be a bit different
I wonder if there's a short throw conversion kit one could use with this projector. I've used professional projectors for over 40 years, and I am SO done with standard inline projection. Was kind of disappointed to see this projector is not short throw. Thanks for showing this product.
I have several short throw projectors lined up to review so maybe look out for them
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Very cool. I've subscribed, and will keep an eye out for those reviews. :)
Appreciate it thank you, my short term plan is one per month as I generally focus on audio products

No idea sorry
Thanks for this! Im dilemaring over spending £5k on an LS12000 and HDFury or this cheap beauty and save a load.
Sure not as much but because you said not night and day. Just better for the Sony. Well it may be the option. 😮

@@PursuitPerfectSystem ohhh you'll be first on YT Terry! V interesting. Opinion on rock/metal drum and bass performance would be very appreciated 👍
One complaint I have with Xgimi projectors is lack of backlit remotes. There is no excuse for this in 2023. None….
My 1080P projector from like 2008 has one. Also, the other problem I found out only AFTER I bought my Xgimi projector, was that you cannot project content on Roku in 4K, because the projector is not certified with the correct 4K copy protection, in order to watch in 4K. Which really kills the point of having a 4K projector in the first place. Yes, I have my high end 4K Blu Ray player and Dolby Atmos receiver system. However, much, if not most of our content we consume today, is done by streaming. Even for physical media enthusiasts like me with 1000’s of physical discs…
Those two things really bummed me out after buying my projector. I was super disappointed and have thought about selling my Xgimi 4K that has literally less than 10 hours on it since last Christmas… 🤷♂️☹️
I didnt have that issue playing 4k streamed content from an apple tv? But back lit remote that would have been nice I agree
@@PursuitPerfectSystemnot sure it applies to Apple. Or out of the states. Depends a lot on licensing. But here is what I got as answers directly from Xgimi and from Roku. Because the projectors they release don’t contain the HDCP 2.2 HDMI protocol, you cannot stream any 4K content through Roku with this projector.
I tried to find workarounds, every single way possible. What happens, is my 4K Roku starts out in 4K 60. Then it automatically kicks the content down to 1080P 60 as soon as it starts to play. And this is because the copy protection can’t “shake hands” with the projector, because it isn’t 2.2 HDMI compliant. Is all of this overly protective stuff dumb? I think so…
But that doesn’t change the fact we can’t play any 4K content legally on this projector that is streaming… This may be why Xgimi has their own platform on the projector for apps. But to be honest, I don’t like their platform. And it certainly has nowhere near the apps available on Roku. Or at least not easily. Plus, it projects apps like VUDU in SD. And by doing the apps natively in the projector, there isn’t a convenient or easy way to bring out the sound and have your Dolby Atmos. This issue is a major shortcoming in their 4K projectors. 🤷♂️
Here is the link, to Roku on the subject.
support.roku.com/article/208755468
I appreciate its not ideal but surely its easier to change your streaming platform to something other than Roku than it is changing the projector. Streaming player like apple tv are very cheap to change projectors are not
@@PursuitPerfectSystem cheaper? Certainly it is cheaper. But not sure that would solve the issue. The real issue, is that the projector is not HDCP compliant with HDMI 2.2. Other streaming solutions are likely to have the same issue. Either now or if they upgrade their copy protection protocol.
Again, I don’t know if this is an issue out of the states. So other regions may not be dealing with this. But here, it cripples the amount of content you can watch in 4K. Basically, only 4K discs with Xgimi…
Xgimi is well aware of the issue. From emails from me and me getting responses. As well as another cinephile like me, who emailed them after seeing my posts about this issue, elsewhere. I suspect they don’t want to pay the licensing fees to become 2.2 HDMI compliant.
I assume I would have had the same issue but I didn't get it on the Ultra so either they have changed that or its not an issue with an appletv for some reason I dont know. I dont think its an issue on the Horizon Ultra at least and I dont think 2.2 is just in the states pretty sure its a global thing with there not being regions anymore for content
wharfedale elysian 3 or 4 in the back 😍
3 :)
can you compare them to the serafino you just review@@PursuitPerfectSystem
The Serafino had to go back to create space for the new so I cant really do that sorry
Is this projector compatible with a standard HD Matte white 1.2-grain projector screen? Or do you need a 4k screen?
Screens are important for image quality but that’s true of every projector. You can shine this on a wall so any screen will work
What's it like when you watch 1080p content? Is it true 4k what is the resolution? Do you know what is delay time is?
The spec says 0.47inch DMD so I don’t think it’s native 4k but that’s not something can you really tell. Not sure about 1080p I think it would be ok and depend on the content quality. 4 metre screen really punishes the content. Delay time not sure sorry
Condo game changer
Do you know what the native contrast is? I read it's only around 1000:1. Can you please let me know if the image is washed out
The black levels are not as good as much more expensive projectors such as the sony I compared to but I wouldn't say the image is washed out. But part of the setting up is finding the right picture balance to have as much contrast as possible as this much light output will lighten the image and reduce the perceived contrast. I found a little settings tinkering helped content depending, and I am sure a pro calibrator could do a better job hence my comment.
What you are referring to I have seen from loads of projectors its always the same setup fight light and brightness impact vs contrast and the screen and light reflectivity in the room play a massive part of that too.
Does anyone know if this can be ceiling mounted ?
Agree, as long as you are not an avid Gamer :( 4K 60hz 18 milliseconds. So no 120hz and no sub 10 millisecond latency and so despite the wonderful HDMI 2.1 connection (and everything else that it has to offer... as in a TON), it unfortunately falls short for Gamers. Dang-nab-it, oh so close... the wait continues...
Probably will be available on xgimi horizon 4K 2 Pro Ultra
@@NirvaGT I really hope so. I would certainly be willing to pay another $600 US for my above mentioned Spec.
The AWOL UST's have 8ms latency at 1080p 120hz. The Optoma CinemaX D2 has 4ms at 240hz.
You're best bet for long throw or short throw (Not UST) projectors are all the BenQ stuff I think.
It is a nice review, thanks. In comparison a similar priced short throw laser projector has probably more applications to mimic a TV set. With the right paint (black diffuser) on the wall you get midday projection on a 4-meter wall. Power consumption is an issue for me if i needed to buy one of these. To use it as a daily driver it should not require more than 150 Watts and should have an ECO mode for smaller projection sizes.
Comon, Hisense C1 has better contrast, 3 lazer source (no rainbow)
No colour wheel is good but 1600 ansi is not that bright the horizon ultra is much brighter so I think the contrast is effected by this a lot and the image you see too, especially on a big screen smaller maybe not so much, but as you lower the brightness on the ultra the contrast gets better of course
how do you see it compared to the JMGO N1 Ultra? have you had a chance to try it?
Sorry I didnt know that existed until now, so no idea sorry
@@PursuitPerfectSystem
No problem.
I discovered it a few months ago too, but it seems really interesting.
In fact I was undecided between the two, the N1 costs a bit more and lacks Dolby Vision, for now they don't seem willing to pay for the license, but maybe they will implement it with a patch.
If you can get the N1 Ultra, it wouldn't hurt to see a comparison from your point of view, I like your reviews, they are detailed.
I’m traveling overseas from the US to Europe and will stay in Europe for about a year. Do you think this projector is too big for carry on luggage? I wanna get one with me since Airbnb TVs usually small size.
Maybe depends on how small you need it to be, I think smaller PJs are available but will they be as good likely not
Thanks!
they still need to shorten the throw most houses dont have 15ft rooms for a large viewing screen
Thats when a UST projector might suit a user better
Perhaps this projector would benefit from a black projector screen to make HDR pop more? Great review I hope XGIMI will make this in black some day. Maybe version 2 of this.
I would like to have seen one on a black screen as I think that would be a killer combo as you have the light output
Gray screen would be better.
Not black.
Is a Rainbow Effekt visable?
You see some in my video clips but that’s just the camera shutter speed being out of sync with the projectors refresh rate. In the flesh I didn’t see any but I am not susceptible to it. I had a BenQ DLP before and didn’t see it with that either
Thanks for the video. DLP is not generally considered "high end" in home projectors but I won't hold that against you as you did also say "affordable." 😉 Also, Dolby Vision is a laughable spec for projectors for the very reason you noted. Notice, even the Sony doesn't include it. I'm not sure what's going on with these new projectors being able to claim Dolby Vision support as they generally lack the required nits. I suspect Dolby may have relaxed it's specs in order to increase their market share and thus, licensing fees.
Dolby vision means 12 bit colour and an end to end tone mapped image so nits doesn’t matter as much.
Mate, in the website says that the hdmi are 2.1
Maybe, in the PJ menu there is the option to choose 2.0 or 1.4 so not sure then, either way you dont really gain much, just dolby atmos sound over EARC
What about the 3D feature? You said it is 3D capable in the video.
Yes it supports 3d but I didn’t test it as there are not glasses included and I don’t own any or care for 3D
@@PursuitPerfectSystem OK. Cool. But I'm sure there are people out there with over 300 3D blu-ray collections. Like me. :)

Hope they come out with a UST version.
The problem is no 200-inch screen size in a UST form factor.
Technology is still limited.
150-inch is still the max for UST.
Please review hisense c1 too, has dv and its supposed to be even better than xgimi!
The Hisense is a lot more expensive and a lot less bright
@@PursuitPerfectSystem well a versus would be nice im just sayin. Here in Europe its 200 € more, not a whole lot, same price bracket under 2000 range, brightness is the same but c1 should have better contrast but to each his own.
Can you please help me mine arrived yesterday but I am having problems with a stupid light shadow around the picture and I can’t seem to get rid of it
That is how DLP projectors work, they draw an image inside a border, what you do is oversize the image (move the projector back to make the image bigger) so the border is off the screen and on the screen is only the picture.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem thank you for your quick reply my bedroom is small where I’m limited it’s not visible during light scenes but dark ones lol. I wish the black levels were better I tried watching Prey on Disney plus and the night scenes were unwatchable but Luca was amazing
something not right with your settings I think, defo look into it, if your using the built in media streamer, its not great also something to consider
@@PursuitPerfectSystem hi I have an nvidia shield connected. Do you know where to change the colour option to select dci p3 profile
Could a bit more critical. This projector is lacking brightness and contrast for example. Some of the competitors are cheaper but have a higher brightness and contrast (like the Dangbei Mars Pro 4K or the Formovie X5).
2300 lumens and being as bright as a 15k Sony is not lacking brightness, contrast was not the best I have seen but it was good enough at the price and it has Dolby Vision which makes the other two redundant or at least worth the small premium
@@PursuitPerfectSystem According to The Hook Up (link below) the XGIMI can at max reach 2126 ANSI Lumens, but only when it "sounds like a jet engine" and is "heavily green shifted". At a more tolerable bright setting it sinks to 1560 Lumens, which isn't great. Meanwhile the X5 can reach 2270 Lumens comfortably. In cinema mode it's even 965 Lumens (XGIMI) vs. 1500 Lumens (X5). And then there's the contrast. For the X5 he measured 902:1, for the XGIMI 434:1 or 704:1 if the reduce the brightness is reduced. Yes, Dolby Vision has a slight advantage over HDR10, but the question is if it's really worth the couple hundred dollars more, especially considering the downside of brightness and contrast. Also keep in mind that Dolby Vision doesn't lower the not so great black levels of the XGIMI. The Hook Up demonstrated that well in his video. He also shows that the Hisense C1, which is only a bit more expensive, beats the XGIMI in almost every category. So yes, there is strong competition for the XGIMI.
www.thesmarthomehookup.com/dolby-vision-projectors/
The XGIMI is around 900:1 contrast there is a video on their channel. Its more than bright enough for a 4 metre screen holding its own with a £15k sony - thats the real world not just numbers on paper.
Dolby Vison is end to end tone mapping HDR10 has no tone mapping so bright scenes get washed out or bright areas of the screen get washed out, Dolby Vision helps to reduce that effect and its the defacto standard for all new content so yeah its worth it
Looks like a pretty sweet product, but the lack of 5-12V trigger signal port makes this a hard sell for me... The mechanized screen in my living room won't drop without that signal!
Does it support Dolby Atmos surround?
Faces look greenish, they have tried to Match 3 chip lcd color reproduction on a dlp which is unfortunately not possible on a single chip WRGB wheel tech.....
Not in the flesh they don't, if anything they look more blue out of the box but it doesn't matter as you can make adjustment - its impossible for a projector to be 100% accurate out of the box as its shining on a different colour screen or wall
1k is not affordable for most people, it's on the premium high-end... but I'm still going to buy it
I appreciate everyones take on value is different but for high end projectors this is at the lower price end and often they cost a lot more than this.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem yeah I know what you mean
Ceiling mount?
Yes of course but with the right fitting which would be a camera or video light type fitting with a 1/4inch I think thread
It does not even have native 4K imager. How can it be “high end”? The sample images you recorded show a very noticeable green tinge.
The sample images show all sorts of tinges because I was taking them as I went along and was showing a number of different things in regard to the picture quality not everything perfect all the time. Native 4k I compared to a native 4k and I couldn’t see a difference in resolution not even close up on a 4 metre screen. Other picture quality factors matter more

Yes but I didn’t test it

Being a DLP projector did you notice Rainbow Effects
No, I had a BenQ W5700 DLP Projector about 18 months or so ago which is DLP too so maybe I am not sensitive to it.
Oh okay thanks for reply
Thanks for all the technical data, but did you mention the refresh rate? Watching a movie with 50/60 Hz is not delightful with all the flickering and even with 100/120 Hz many people still recognize a pulsating image. Only when we talk about 200/240 Hz we get an high end and ergonomic image.
I watched a lot of 24fps content and there was no flickering at all
Buddy you watch movies with 24fps. Everything above is bad.
18ms is not great, but nothing to sniff at either especially for a projectow
