A 4K projector that adjusts itself? This is the promise made by XGIMI with its HORIZON Pro, currently on sale for Prime Days.
Choosing to install a video projector at home is not necessarily an easy task. Despite excellent image quality, these devices are however more restrictive to install than a television. In addition to greater space and recoil, they also require many adjustments, often tedious, in order to extract the substantial marrow.
These issues, XGIMI has chosen to address with its HORIZON Pro, a 4K video projector capable of configuring itself and in a few seconds once installed. On the occasion of Prime Days, the manufacturer decided to lower the price of its flagship, and a good part of its catalog. The opportunity to obtain this Horizon Pro -15%, or 1,275 euros between July 11 and 12.
A video projector that adapts to all constraints
With its HORIZON Pro, XGIMI makes a clear promise: that of simplicity. No need to rearrange your living room to get enough distance or remove any obstacles. Nor to look for the ideal spot where to install your video projector. There’s also no need to fiddle with buttons for hours to adjust focus or any distortions.
All these thankless and time-consuming tasks are handled by the HORIZON Pro. XGIMI has equipped its projector with a very complete intelligent image adaptation technology that allows you to enjoy your content in the best conditions, quickly, and without you having to lift a finger. This system allows in particular:
- align the screen image on the projection surface, regardless of its size;
- correct trapezoidal distortion automatically, so as to position your projector wherever you want (within the limit of a horizontal or vertical angle of plus or minus 40°);
- to adjust the image according to the obstacles. The HORIZON Pro is able to detect a painting or a plant and reduce the size of the projected image for a better visual experience;
- to adjust the focus to benefit from a sharp image at all times.
Last advantage in this area: its projection ratio of 1.2:1 which allows it to adapt easily to all room sizes. The HORIZON Pro is, for example, capable of projecting a 60-inch image from just 1.59m away. If you have more space, you can push the display size to 150 inches, as long as you have at least 4m separating it from the projection surface.
A bright 4K image in all circumstances
The other strong point of this HORIZON Pro undoubtedly lies in the quality of its display. Its XGIMI 4K optical engine allows it, as its name suggests, to obtain an image in 3,840 by 2,160 or 8.29 million pixels. It also has a very good brightness (2200 ANSI lumens), which allows it to display a sharp image with bright colors, even if you are not plunged into total darkness.
To achieve this result, the XGIMI projector takes full advantage of the latest display technologies, such as the X-VUE 2.0 engine created by the manufacturer. The latter makes it possible to adjust the clarity of the image, the rendering of the colors or to reduce the noise of the image while ensuring its fluidity. The MEMC technology used to reduce jerks and blurring is obviously part of it.
Finally, the HORIZON Pro benefits from an intelligent adaptation system that allows it to adjust in real time to ambient conditions. An optical sensor, combined with an in-house AI, adjusts the brightness and the image to offer a comfortable experience, whatever the time of day.
A versatile and connected experience
Among the advantages offered by this HORIZON Pro is a user experience that has nothing to envy to that of a television. XGIMI has equipped its video projector with an interface connected using Android TV.
You can thus easily access the applications present on the Google Play Store, and more particularly the various SVoD services (Paramount+, Disney+, Apple TV) or online video (YouTube). An integrated Chromecast, Google Assistant and a Game Mode ensuring low latency complete the range of services offered.
On the connector side, XGIMI has thought of everything by providing this HORIZON Pro with a wide range of ports. With no less than two USB ports, two HDMI ports (including eARC compatible), a LAN port, a 3.5 mm jack port and an optical output, the manufacturer has not skimped on the means. Add to that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and you have a very complete device.
