Finding the right location and the ideal setting for your projector is not always easy. With its HORIZON Pro, XGIMI wants to bring simplicity and speed of installation. This projector configures itself automatically in seconds.
The vast majority of projectors require attention to many settings: positioning, display settings, sharpness, brightness or contrast. Prerequisites that are both complex and time-consuming, which XGIMI has decided to tackle with its HORIZON Pro projector.
With this projector launched in 2021, XGIMI aims to immediately offer an excellent quality image. The goal: turn on your projector and enjoy your video in 4K without spending hours adjusting your device.
This top-of-the-range, compact projector is as easy to set up as it is to use. It is currently available at the reduced price of 1,699 euros instead of the usual 1,899 euros.
Projecting a film becomes child’s play
This is the biggest strength of the XGIMI HORIZON Pro: it requires almost no user intervention. When first installed, the projector takes care of everything for you.
No need, for example, to wonder if a plant or piece of furniture can fit into the frame, the XGIMI HORIZON Pro intelligently avoids obstacles and automatically resizes the image so that it remains complete in all circumstances.
It also automatically takes care of straightening the screen, ensuring that the image is not distorted, adjusting the brightness according to the ambient light, or even focusing. To do this, he put the package on the software side.
This projector is particularly powerful, thanks to its 2200 ANSI Lumens system. When the sun enters the room, the projected video remains largely visible.
To go further, the projector is equipped with an X-VUE 2.0 image engine that improves clarity, sharpness and revitalizes colors. The XGIMI HORIZON Pro also supports HDR 10 and supports over a billion colors.
The home cinema
While the XGIMI HORIZON Pro projector is intended to be as easy to use as possible, it also meets the needs of the most demanding people looking for XL projection and breathtaking definition.
It can project videos at the diagonal desired by the user, this depending directly on the distance between the wall and the device. The display can reach up to 200 inches (or 508 cm), which is much larger than most of the largest high-end TVs.
With a throw ratio of 1.2:1, the XGIMI HORIZON Pro fits both large rooms and the tightest of spaces. About 1 meter back is enough to reach 40 inches, an already comfortable height.
And, since the manufacturer does not want to compromise on image quality, its video projector benefits from a 4K definition (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), even at 200 inches. Gamers are not left out with a specific mode for video games responsible for reducing latency to 35 ms.
The sound part has also been taken care of so that it is not necessary to add an additional audio system. Although it is particularly compact, the XGIMI HORIZON Pro features two 8-watt broadband speakers from Harman Kardon. The brand promises virtualized surround sound with low distortion and optimized latency.
The essential, but not only
While the XGIMI HORIZON Pro is technologically advanced, it doesn’t forget the basics. It runs on Android TV and then allows you to install applications such as YouTube, Netflix or Prime Video. This projector also embeds Google Chromecast, to easily broadcast content from a smartphone, for example, and connects to other devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
As a bonus, this projector can be controlled by voice. In terms of connectivity, XGIMI goes, again, to the essential with:
- two HDMI sockets;
- two USB ports;
- a network connection;
- a headphone jack.
Practical and easy to use, the XGIMI HORIZON Pro knows how to be discreet. Silent with less than 30 dB in operation, it measures only 20.8 × 21.8 × 13.6 cm for a featherweight 2.9 kg.
This concentrate of technologies is available at a price of 1,699 euros, a nice reduction of 200 euros compared to its usual price.
