Xgimi\u00a0specializes in creating projectors, which are mostly high-end due to the features they contain.\u00a0We have already analyzed some models that have left us with good feelings for the performance they deliver.\u00a0It does not mean that they are perfect, since testing them in detail we have found some negative points, but nothing that affects their conditions.\u00a0Today we bring the\u00a0Xgimi Horizon\u00a0which turns out to be an excellent option for viewing movies.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the Xgimi Horizon<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike what we are used to, the design of this model has a better construction, it even adds details that make it visually more attractive.<\/p>\n

Most projectors have similar designs,\u00a0where you will hardly find anything different that is worthwhile in terms of aesthetics\u00a0.\u00a0However, for this model we see a somewhat different construction that seeks to provide a new visual experience that can be better integrated into the different environments where you can place it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first thing to consider is its appearance, unlike elongated projectors, this seems to be compressed,\u00a0which reduces space\u00a0and\u00a0facilitates its placement\u00a0.\u00a0In addition, it has a weight of 2.9 kg, which means that it is not as portable as it seems, although due to its dimensions you can store it in a backpack and carry it with some comfort.<\/p>\n

It presents a black chassis that provides a touch of elegance, in addition, the construction it has is resistant.\u00a0It really is a modern projector with minimalist details that allow better integration\u00a0.\u00a0The spaces are well covered, although we believe that they could have included better ventilation.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

It has good connectivity that begins with the inclusion of two\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs that you can use to transmit the signal from compatible devices, although due to other characteristics of the projector, it may not be very necessary in some cases.\u00a0It also offers two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports that are used to play content.<\/p>\n

Other physical connections that it\u00a0integrates are an\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port ,\u00a0an\u00a0audio\u00a0output\u00a0,\u00a0headphone\u00a0jack\u00a0and\u00a0DC\u00a0.\u00a0As you can see, they are useful connectors that you can get a lot of use out of.\u00a0The most interesting thing is its wireless section that offers interesting options such as\u00a0dual-band\u00a0Wi\u00a0-Fi\u00a0connection, and connection via\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Projection quality and functions in general<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Xgimi Horizon\u00a0stands out for projecting a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution natively with greater versatility, in addition, this quality can be maintained at a size of 300 inches, which is the maximum that this model allows.\u00a0Obviously we recommend using it in a smaller size, but this shows us how powerful its projection is.<\/p>\n

It also offers super bright technology that dwarfs the competition, allowing excellent quality to be maintained no matter what the environment, meaning you don’t have to worry about the venue as this projector won’t have a problem.\u00a0It is rated at\u00a02,200 ANSI lumens\u00a0, enough for rich, vivid colors.<\/p>\n

Images will be quite sharp, even in very dark or bright environments.\u00a0Add to this that it combines the most powerful imaging technologies and adapts them to the optical sensor that integrates artificial intelligence.\u00a0Through the\u00a0X-VUE 2.0\u00a0engine , the clarity and fidelity of dynamic images is increased, obtaining pure colors.<\/p>\n

It also offers\u00a0HDR10\u00a0and\u00a0HLG\u00a0compatibility for better contrast and brightness.\u00a0And not to forget the brightness adaptation via AI that we find incredible, since it allows the projector to adapt to any environment and maintain its quality and even improve it.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Being a premium model, you will notice that it is built on a professional sound design.\u00a0This is achieved thanks to the fact that its speakers are manufactured by\u00a0Harman Kardon\u00a0, which ensures that we enjoy high-quality audio.\u00a0In total you have a maximum power of\u00a016W\u00a0that may not seem like much, but it will be enough.<\/p>\n

In addition, they have compatibility with some enhancement technologies that ensure immersion and excellent balance.\u00a0Add to this that there will be low distortion\u00a0and\u00a0high dynamic response\u00a0.\u00a0In general terms, you will enjoy virtualized surround sound to achieve better dialogues and deep bass.<\/p>\n

Other cool features<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It will be really useful for playing content thanks to all the features it integrates, providing a solid experience in terms of its performance.<\/p>\n

There are other things to highlight about\u00a0Xgimi Horizon\u00a0, for example, its compatibility with\u00a0Android 10\u00a0, a system that allows us to access certain interesting functions.\u00a0To start with, you can install a good number of applications, and this is because it has 32GB storage that is accompanied\u00a0by 2GB\u00a0RAM .<\/p>\n

Thanks to this system there will be other interesting functions, for example,\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0that allows us to control certain actions with our voice.\u00a0It also features\u00a0Chromecast built-\u00a0in for streaming content from compatible devices.\u00a0As if that were not enough, it has been designed with low blue light for comfortable and safe viewing.<\/p>\n

Finally it has other important features like\u00a0super fast boot up\u00a0,\u00a0auto focus\u00a0and\u00a0trapezoidal correction\u00a0.\u00a0Without a doubt, this is a powerful projector that you can use mainly to view content.<\/p>\n
