Priced a bit high for what it is, this is still quite a basic projector. Maybe they charge more for brand, though I don't know how "strong" this brand is in the market... I use it to watch vidoes in a small room (3-4 meters projection distance). Projection size is not bad and brightness is good. Picture quality and colors are good (considering it's not 4K). Sound quality is also very nice and it's good to have a projector with Smart capabilities and decent sound all in one package, and it's not too big either. However, I did find issues: 1. Does NOT play Netflix by default! You have to use 2 dodgy 3rd party apps to make it work (after this, it does work thogh, but there's not telling when Netflix will disable this option). 2. Projection angle is fixed and biased heavily upwards 3. Geometery adjustments are applied within the projection area so if you have to use them, you "lose" quite a lot of area (this is not unique of course, but improtant to note). 4. It's cooling fan is quite audible. Its noise is not very annoying, but noticable. Read more

After having looked at many projectors - both traditional manufacturers like Epson and modern manufacturers like Anker, I picked XGMI Pro. And it has been an excellent decision. Used for about 6 months now. With traditional projector manufacturers, for a 4K projector at this price point you will unlikely to get both manual horizontal and vertical adjustment, let alone automatic clever horizontal and vertical adjustment that comes with XGMI. You are also unlikely to get digital image size adjustment without any perceivable loss of picture quality. Both very important if you want to fit your new projector in existing decoration rather and re-decorating the room around the projector. Also if you don’t want to struggle adjusting the projector every time the kids moves the projector around a little bit, this is a great one as the projector auto focuses automatically every-time the projector starts. So the picture sharpness is fantastic all the time. Also with many other traditional projector manufacturers at this price point, you are unlikely to get 4K or excellent picture quality with lots of useful adjustments (like digital brightness adjustment) like the XGMI. Again at this price point you are unlikely to get this level of brightness, which is very important if you don’t want washed out pictures when you are watching in the evening with some ambient light. Excellent built in sound quality. No need for an external speaker, if the projector is near where you are seated. Better than the Anker one due to much higher brightness, absolutely essential if you want to watch with some ambient light (like in the evenings). With Anker the picture would get washed out at the slightest ambient light. Assembled it with an Anker stand though which allows the wires to travel through the stand giving it a neat look. The wire is just long enough/just short. So a tight fit with anker stand. Overall a great projector, with lots of very useful and essential features, great brightness at a very good price point.

I have the Xgimi Elfin, as a first stab at home theatre and I love it, but it was time to see what could really be done with an upgrade to 4K and a much brighter projector. I have not been disappointed, easy setup, software is even better (and it was extremely good on the Elfin). If you have android, setup is very easy and pretty much automatic if you scan an on screen QR and accept a few prompts. Picture Quality is fantastic HD, 4K etc.. is good, it must upscale the HD very well because it looks even better than on the native HD Elfin. The Elfin was quiet but the Horizon Pro is near silent. I had considered the Nebula Cosmos, but am so pleased I went for this. The other reason was the 1.21 throw, which means I could get a nice large image (100") in the same place I had the Elfin. The Nebula cosmos would have only produced am 88" image with it's longer throw. I haven't tried the sound because I actually use a soundbar on the floor so the sound is coming from the same place as the image... Some tips...get the Xgimi dongle, in the deal I had it was included free....powered from the Xgimis USB port and set up so the dongle can be controlled via the HDMI allows you to control the dongle from the main Xgimi remote! The dongle has, or can have installed, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney etc.. etc.. on it. By connecting it in the way described, the projector will boot, then the dongle boots and it auto flips to the dongle...After that the experience is seamless. (and the dongle remote can be stored in a draw). If you don't want to shell out for the dongle, then you will have to run the web version of netflix using "Desktop Manager" to install it. The advantage of the dongle I also believe is better motion, as the you're offloading that processing from the projector and can use weak motion smoothing on the projector settings, rather than medium for better quality. If you are controlling the dongle with the remote, pressing the gear symbol on the remote will take you to the projector settings, not dongle settings...then you simply change source back to the dongle. AN IMPORTANT TIP: if you have smart plugs and other devices that use the 2.4 GHz band and your router is serving both 2.4 and 5GHz...give each band different passwords! This will prevent the projector and/or dongle from using the must slower 2.4, if the signal is not very strong. My router is on the ground floor and I am in the opposite end of the house on the 2nd floor (signal says fair). By doing this, I'm guaranteed to get over 111mbps, with no fall back to the much slower 2.4 GHz. Update: I now have a mesh system installed for WiFi and things are even better. It's LED and DLP, very colour accurate and I like DLP because of the extremely good 3D capability, plus the fully enclosed light path, so not dust concerned. Just keep the grills vacuumed once per month, especially if you have a cat. This keeps it running nice n cool. This is not a paid or shill review, get it, you will absolutely not be disappointed. Amazing projector. Read more

I needed a flagship projector in the￡1,000 to ￡3,000 price range. I knew of some of the top companies. But I was definitely most impressed with this XGIMI Horizon Pro! This product is awesome. The 4K picture shows clear and bright. The speaker is very loud so you don’t need to spend more for an external soundbar. Most other projectors only seem to work well for one thing. Some have a clear picture but low brightness. Some have ok picture, brightness, and speakers, but have a terrible design, making it difficult to set up and use. But this projector is all-in-one and fantastic for movies, TV shows, video games, and sports. Setup and keystone correction was very easy and I was able to fill my screen even closer to the edges of a 150” screen that was about 12’ away on the right side of the room, in just a few minutes. The performance in the daytime with my blinds closed is pretty good with bright colors (see pictures). Nighttime viewing is better though. The colors pop and the extra resolution makes the details even smoother around the edges. Netflix doesn’t work yet, of course you can also use the workaround they provide. But I use my Fire stick and it works just fine. Overall I love all the improvements they have made. I finally have a 4k projector that looks great inside and out. Read more

Bought this initially for art projects with photography. I've since used it as my main screen for everything from video gaming and watching movies. It's one of the best investments I've ever done. The biggest benefit is the automation built, portability and the amazing audio. You can put the projector anywhere you like and it will auto-focus and skew the screen to fit. Super simple and relatively fast. NEVER GOING BACK TO NORMAL SCREENS. Read more
