Wow projection technology has come a long way! I need this for my home theater room. Maybe sometime later this year. Wow it's Android based. Wow you can place the projector offset and still get perfect 4K picture. It's a big investment, but wow it's amazing.
Great video straight to the point. I've looked at these forever lol I've been waiting for the right one to purchase. It's between this model and the Chinese node RS Pro. The Pro version snippets 120 4k apparently. You've gotta review it.
Can't decide between the horizon or horizon pro there's a 500 pound price difference is it worth it gonna be a permanent living room screen 100" for movies mainly and some switch gaming inuse my c1 oled for ps5 and xbox series x . 🤔
@@Hottiger1818 I try to stream everything in 4k but iv heard a lot of people say there's hardly any quality difference between both models and then even the best tvs ain't worth the price difference some times , I upgraded from a 65" Samsung q70r to a 55" lg c1 oled and was not worth the extra 700 I had to folk out after selling my old one maybe 200 tops , so 500 is a lot for maybe 100 pounds difference in reality lol
Wow looks awesome!!!! Loving the videos 😇👍 was thinking about getting this but saw the anker cosmos 4k projector, which of the two would you recommend?? Would mainly be using this for movies but would also use for gaming here and there, thanks again 👍
Thanks, It's a tough choice but personally I'd go for this one as the keystone correction works well from a corner of a room. Picture quality and sound quality is amazing together with a nice compact design.
@@GeekStreet thank you!! They keystone correction is definitely a great feature!! Especially when having the projector located in the corner of the room, which is probably where I would have the projector located!! Awesome and thank you for your response 😇👍 that's helped me make my decision!! Liked and subscribed 👍👊
I got this XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K last year, but the Bluetooth connection with my JBL speaker or sony headphone quality is not good, the sound has some funny noise. I can not find the solution.
Thanks for the review on this and the benq x3000i, do you think the xgimi is worthwhile or to save for the benq? Benq seems to have better contrast, brightness, lower latency for gaming and a few other qualities like optical zoom, manual focus (I won't often if ever move the projector). I know the benq is technically better but the xgimi can be had for £1450 vs around £2300! That's quite a difference! I'm not a competitive gamer and the benq is big and bulky so the xgimi is appealing. Any thoughts?
Hi, does Input Lag get worse when using Keystone like with the BenQ x3000i? Or do hertz and Input Lag get better when reducing Resolution to 1080p ?? Thanks!
I have a very small room! would it be able to give me an image so close to a wall? Thanks again for your great helpful videos! :-) Also is there any good screens that can be used as blinds at the same time?
Thanks, It has to be placed a distance away from the wall. I gave some example measurements in the video to give you a rough idea. You could just use a plain white roller blind as a projection screen its the equivalent of just projecting onto a plane white wall or go for for something like this which is a pull down projector screen. amzn.to/355Y18u
@@GeekStreet thank you, for the help and link , yes I could see the room distance but very hard to judge on a camera view :-) my room is 100 inch but I might with the stand be able to go futher back into the kitchen Thanks
some youtubers have said the 1080p videos aren't that great on it as compared to other and cheaper projectors, what's your view and experience on this?
I streamed Netflix via a firestick and thought it was good, but you could state the same about a TV as the definition would be higher on a 4K TV and 1080p footage wouldn't be great. I've reviewed cheap budget projectors generally they are ok clarity is lacking on them around the edges and lumens inaccurate colours and contrast levels not as good. The difference really is night and day if you compare. I hope that helps to some extent.
Great review🔥 I get my projector today, upgrading from the Xgimi Halo. Love that you also have a sim rig! Can’t wait to try out my Fanatec with the projector.
They are both very good projectors with excellent picture quality but given a choice I would go for the XGIMI sound quality is excellent/picture is stunning and the fact I can place in a corner of a room and project a clear picture is really more practical. The auto keystone correction and auto focus are very good and the design is compact and looks really good. Not something I mentioned in the review but I use in my office to project onto a plain light grey wall and even in the daylight its really good. Gives me a extra portable screen without the commitment of mounting a screen on the wall.
@@GeekStreet Thank you for your quick and in-depth replies to both my comments. For a while I was stuck between cosmos max and Horizon Pro, and you've given me the confidence to go for the Horizon Pro.. Thank you.. and I look forward to more of your video uploads.
Thank you for reviewing this projector. I see it is very popular because of its unique capabilities and design. Please let me list some of the main features: 1. 4K UHD resolution 2. HDR support 3.

Hi You normally reply to messages in the past so i thought to ask you = ) For movies, casual gaming, and TH-cam in a room that is not too dark or light. Of the two, would you recommend Horizon pro Or NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K? Thank You
Hi Me again lol I have watched your BenQ W2700i review. Out of the three: BenQ W2700i, Nebula, and Horizon. Having used and tested all three which one would you recommend for value, longevity, and all-rounder.
Why pay so much when you can have same things with 700€ less? I go for Optoma UHD it is even brighter and has more contrast. One positive thing avout Xgimi...it s portable but who would carry out 1700€ of projector ? Maybe a cheap option it's better for your trippin around
@@Hottiger1818 but 3600 lumens of optoma allows me to use it in daylight too. A new lamp is about 200 euros..using projector for 4 hours a day everyday is around 1500 hours per year...so lamp should face 4 years of use...if u change that u get other 4 years..I think after 10 years you gonna change the projector...technology is better..or not?

The xgimi 4k is 3840 x 2160, that is industry standard for uhd.. Falling only slightly short of full 4096 x 2160...sony and jvc can do it but will cost you 3 times the cost... And this is better than the rest that use 1080 and really push pixel shifting to achieve "4k"..
Terrible review as you failed to mention that this projector does not have a bulb replacement and is a useless paperweight after the 1 year warranty expires.
