Xgimi Horizon Pro Review

Everyone will notice the good points about the $1,699 Xgimi Horizon Pro—sharp 4K (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) resolution, HDR 10 and HLG support, an LED light source rated at a bright 2,200 ANSI lumens, and integrated Android TV for streaming. A few viewers may notice the Xgimi's annoying rainbow artifacts and occasional tendency to lose shadow detail, but most home entertainment fans will find it a projector worthy of its premium price.Easier-Than-Easy Setup Competition for the Horizon Pro includes the BenQ X1300i,  the Epson EF-100, the ViewSonic X10-4KE, and our current Editors' Choice award winner among 1080p streaming projectors with a solid-state light source, the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12. However, all those projectors except for the ViewSonic offer lower native resolutions, and the Xgimi's Android TV 10.0 implementation offers more capable streaming than that device—the X10-4KE uses a version of the Android OS that depends on the Aptoide store for apps. In addition to the integ...

XGIMI Horizon Pro review: 4K projector brings bundles of brightness

The picture quality is great for the money, connectivity options are wide ranging, and the small and quiet operation make this ideal for those who want to up their viewing experience without really pushing the budget to excess.

Bright 4K picture quality; Small and portable; Autofocusing and automatic keystone correction; Streaming services built-in thanks to Android TV;

No Netflix support; Speakers are okay but not great; No Source button on remote; 60Hz maximum - so not for next-gen games; Slightly struggles with darker scenes;

A great purchase for the price with performance well exceeding expectations.

Use for office presentation, webinars, rugby matches and gaming. This wee projector performed as expected and more. A great product for anyone looking for an affordable, portable projector. Easily transported and able to be moved anywhere round the building or home.

Amazing!!!

I have been using this in my bedroom for 1 month and can’t go back to use a normal tv anymore

Netflix doesn’t work

Great projector, love it. Biggest letdown is the lack of compatibility for the netflix app. Xgimi do not pay a license to be compatible so you cannot use the play store version of the app. You can use desktop manager to install a web version which can only transmit 720p, making the 4K redundant. Only work around is having a chrome cast, dish tv or firestick attacked to the projector which is an additional cost, looks messy and just a tad inconvenient. All up, a good projector if you don’t want to watch netflix. Don’t believe the hype of the Netflix work around I read of online prior to purchase, it’s not 4K and stop working shortly aft...view more
