@12:37 the youtube reviewer is biased because he compared both with different ambient light setup, you can pause and clearly see that the pro video was recorded with some ambient light which is evident from the side wall on which there is light when compared to ultra. The light faded the image. Too bad from the reviewer.
I was wondering what was off; I thought it was cropped but no, that's his room light difference. Does the guy think people only look at one review for 1k+ purchases lol
that is not the ambient light though, its the beamer projection itself. If you take a closer look, you will notice, that this is the beamer throwing light at the surface. The Horizon Pro doesnt have any optical lense, so what it does it just zooming in digital into the projection, to make it match the surface. The ultra on the other hand has the ability to optically zoom the entire projection onto the surface, so that you wont have any borders with grey/white lighting left over
for reference look at the very bottom and top. You can clearly see, where the "brighter" light is cut, thats because this is just a projection and light coming from the beamer
1. Does the Ultra support Blu-ray (active) 3D? Since glasses dim the picture a bit, more brightness would be great. 2. What are the response times per "mode"? 3. Does the auto focus AND keystone work in "game mode"? 4. Can it be ceiling mounted?
The ultra actually has a wider color gamut for a more colour accuracy and this can be adjusted to suit from settings. Technically the Ultra is actually better, with brighter, more detailed, better colour accuracy etc.
I own the Pro and prefer the ultra when looking at the lion image. That image is one of my complaints with the pro. Go two scenes later with the guy holding the gun. On the pro you can't even make out one of his eyes. On scenes like that or night scenes it becomes very difficult to see anything at times. The lion on the left looks closer to the image I would see on my LG OLED screen which has a fantastic picture.
Help please CHIGZ! The black levels and contrast look much better on the PRO? Am i seeing this correctly? Did you perhaps have the pro in a different mode? Or is the ultra clearly more "contrasty" in person
@@ChigzTechagain incorrect. Pro is 2200 ANSI and ultra is 2300. ANSI. Lost interest in watching the video post realising that the specs mentioned are incorrect.
Great information, what’s the suggested projector screens for both of them?. I’m planning to buy one of it and need suggestions on projector screens. I see lot in market but wasn’t sure which one to choose.
Thanks for the video. I am very satisfied with the Horizon pro. is it really worth upgrading to the ultra after 1 year? I would then have to pay $500 more. If it's just 5-10% more quality etc. then I'd stick with the Pro model.
can be the automatic keystone correction disabled? I mean when the correction is done you lose resolution because it will give you a croped and resized screen and the rest of the image go to black
Hi, I have a Epson 3800 which is very good but of course I have been looking to upgrade to either a UST Laser proyector or something else, Do you think this could be the one to buy?
I’m traveling overseas from the US to Europe and will stay in Europe for about a year. Do you think this projector is too big for carry on luggage? I wanna get one with me since Airbnb TVs usually small size.
I dont know why your horizon pro's picture quality looks bad. Seems it was done on purpose just to emphasize how the picture quality of horizon ultra is better. I mean clearly, horizon ultra should have a better picture quality but my horizon pro's picture quality does not look as bad as yours, even in a well-lit environment. Also, horizon pro does have a lens cover. It is just made of glass so it looks like the lens has no cover. When it comes to size and weight, I still prefer the horizon pro. A projector weighing 5kg only means that it is not so portable. I also dont like the exterior color of horizon ultra. It looks retro, while horizon pro looks modern. Finally, I still think that horizon pro is a better option because it has a longer lamp life.
Hello. I am using xgimi rs pro 3. I'm having a problem with it being very quiet at the beginning of use, then after more than an hour or two of use, the noise gets really loud and interferes with watching videos. It's distracting. I'm new to beam project, is this normal?
Great and very professional comp.:) Thanks, but I dont know if its true that both of them are 4K NATIVE projectors? Maybe only the Ultra but it could be possible that both of them usees pixel shift? Does anybody knows it?
I have both and the picture quality of the pro is no where near as bad as it looks in this video you can barely tell the difference between them. You can't run anything from them usb ports really they are only 2.0 they really suck your videos will just buffer
I’ve read a couple reviews and also asked a different YT reviewer and they’ve all indicated the ultra has no noticeable rainbow effect..this alone would prompt me to upgrade from my pro, even though it doesn’t bother me too much now
Looks like its not worth upgrading if you have a pro, to trade up it would cost about £1000. I don't like the increased size and weight of the Ultra and still no 4K 120hz
If you have the original Horizon and you're looking to upgrade, the extra $400 for the Ultra is worth it IF you have Dolby Vision source material. I find the speakers in the Ultra noticeably better than the Horizon Pro. I also love the automatic lens cover. It automates my setup better so I don't have to worry about taking the cover off the projector and let eARC take care of powering on my devices. If these are not worth it, then I would get the Horizon Pro. I have both.
Why there is ambient light on the pro and not on the ultra??? Sponsored by xgimi?? Its a shame. On almost every clip the pro looks better. Better contrast and better colors.
Yeah it definitely does, I have the Pro and it looked like this one did when projected on the wall..washed out and dull..when I added a cheap ALR screen it’s a night and day difference, looks more like the ultra in this video. Question then is, how good would the ultra look with a screen…
Doubt they ever will. Your better off adding an android box if you really need NF. Imo NF is trash anyways. I bought a years worth of NF and we never watch it. We use alternative ways to watch movies 😉
You will never regret buying apple tv 4K. The youtube video i played on the default app from xgimi’s android os and the one from apple tv 4k, you can see a huge difference. I have a Halo+ attached to the apple tv 4K, it just feels so better, It will be even better with horizon pro or ultra🤩🤩🤩

Not sure why.. but the Horizon Pro looks better - more detail and better colours, pause at 12:35

Woow! This is awesome! Ultra looks better than I expected...
Indeed.
I have pro and it is fantastic and more easy for me due to its portability. Picture quality is sharp and stunning.
Thanks!
Most appreciated, thanks 🙌
Both look great, but I think I preferred the Pro. Looking at the image of the lion, it looked to me like it was sharper with more detail.
Thanks for sharing, yes both are great projectors.

Yes agree with your points. The Ultra is very close to TV quality.

Your specs are NOT correct - The Pro actually has 2200 ANSI Lumens
Thanks for the heads-up. It looks like the pro is 2200 ANSI and Ultra is 2875 ANSI.
@@ChigzTechwhat's the contrast ratio
Can this projector zoom in and out? My screen is 18 feet away from where the actual projector will be, so don’t want a fixed lens

I don't think it is, also that thing is huge.
Thanks for the thorough review!
Absolute pleasure 🙏
I have pro and with image quality Ultra definitely seems to have answered few things but the weight of Ultra puts me off from going for it
The colours definitely look more natural than the pro
The Pro uses Active not Passive 3D. It works great but does require DLP Link glasses.
You are correct they are Active 3D. Thanks.
can be the automatic keystone correction disabled? I mean when the correction is done you lose resolution because it will give you a croped and resized screen and the rest of the image go to black
Yes, the automatic can be disabled. You can then activate it on demand, or just use manual correction.

Neither of these is UST. They’re both long throw

Thank you 🙌
Nice Video! How does the XGIMI Horizon Ultra look compared to the Epson LS1200?
What would be the required distance between the Horizon Pro and the wall to have a nice experience?
I see alot of people complaning about the pro having a green tint. Do you also see that? I also can see it in your video and it could be a dealbraker
Would you be able to do a comparison on Horizon Pro 4k vs Xgimi H6 4K?
Does this have CEC? Want to automate the projector with my smart devices
Yes they both have CEC.
@@ChigzTechthanks
PRO, with some adjustments, it will look as good. Save your money and buy the pro.
You can edit the colours, but the brightness/contrast is lacking on the Pro, when compared to the Ultra.
You can edit both on pro. Go picture settings
My point is brightness is already maxed out on both.
Hello. I am using xgimi rs pro 3.
I'm having a problem with it being very quiet at the beginning of use, then after more than an hour or two of use, the noise gets really loud and interferes with watching videos. It's distracting.
I'm new to beam project, is this normal?
2 awesome projectors...the ultra has the edge..thanks chigz..😁😁😁👍👍👍❤️
Yes I have to agree.
How many hours of daily usage in one go. Can we use it as a tv for like 12 hours without turning off
Im planning on the Horizon Ultra for my new house. Would you or anybody recommend a specific screen to use with it?
Great and very professional comp.:) Thanks, but I dont know if its true that both of them are 4K NATIVE projectors? Maybe only the Ultra but it could be possible that both of them usees pixel shift? Does anybody knows it?
all of them are XPR, use DMD 0.47 inch, that is not true 4K
Great review.👍
Thanks! 👍
it hurts my brain that the newer projector is on the left side 😂 i have the horizon pro and love it
Do either of these have mounting points for ceiling mount?
Both have 1/4" screw mounts on the bottom. They can be configured in the menu to allow them to be ceiling mounted upside down.
It it worth upgrading from the herzion pro 4k
Can you have a comparison with JMGO N1 Ultra?
The video that I was waiting
Awesome 👍
Same. TY for the side-by-side comparison!
Your welcome.
Do these support a 4:3 aspect ratio?
Yes, they both support 4:3 and 16:9
I have both and the picture quality of the pro is no where near as bad as it looks in this video you can barely tell the difference between them. You can't run anything from them usb ports really they are only 2.0 they really suck your videos will just buffer
Any noticeable rainbow effect? Haven't heard anyone speak in regards to this.
I’ve read a couple reviews and also asked a different YT reviewer and they’ve all indicated the ultra has no noticeable rainbow effect..this alone would prompt me to upgrade from my pro, even though it doesn’t bother me too much now
@@heftyaudiobears Thanks for the reply. Good to know. This projector will definitely be on my list of options.
Talk about the response rate (especially gaming) otherwise this is all null...
Fan noise at what setting?
Looks like its not worth upgrading if you have a pro, to trade up it would cost about £1000.
I don't like the increased size and weight of the Ultra and still no 4K 120hz
What happens if you have CineScope sized screen?
Not tried, I supposed it would just work as intended.
the Horizon Pro is now at $1199. I have the original Horizon, is it that much of a step up or just marginal?
If you have the original Horizon and you're looking to upgrade, the extra $400 for the Ultra is worth it IF you have Dolby Vision source material. I find the speakers in the Ultra noticeably better than the Horizon Pro. I also love the automatic lens cover. It automates my setup better so I don't have to worry about taking the cover off the projector and let eARC take care of powering on my devices. If these are not worth it, then I would get the Horizon Pro. I have both.
I just found the Horizon pro 4k for $750 brand new. That beats out any of these 4k laser projectors
Wow, $750 for the Horizon pro 4k is a steal! You're going to have an amazing setup with that deal.
@@ChigzTech Yessir, I think at that price the value is phenomenal. Thanks!
Does rhe Ultra have 4K@120Hz? I see no spec of this. I'm seeing that it has HDMI 2.1 tho but that doesn't mean it will run 120Hz automatically.
No 4K 60 is Max.
Pro model colors are much more saturated than ultra.
Colours can be adjusted to suit, but the ultra has that wider color gamut and much better brightness and contrast.
I want to see xgimi horizon ULTRA vs dangbei mars pro
Mars Pro doesn't support Bluray 3D otherwise it'd be the easy winner.
Any lag when gaming ? Input lag?
In game mode the Horizon Ultra has about 16ms lag, the Horizon Pro is around 30.
What about projector longevity and after sales support? I hear xgmi are very bad in that
Can you stream netflix now?
Why there is ambient light on the pro and not on the ultra??? Sponsored by xgimi?? Its a shame. On almost every clip the pro looks better. Better contrast and better colors.
Any chance to review Toumei V8 pro projector. Is it good to go for the price?
Would the Pro paired with a screen (rather than the wall) give a better result - for the same money - as buying just the Ultra itself?
Yeah it definitely does, I have the Pro and it looked like this one did when projected on the wall..washed out and dull..when I added a cheap ALR screen it’s a night and day difference, looks more like the ultra in this video. Question then is, how good would the ultra look with a screen…
still no netflix ?
Xgimi horizon ultra vs nebula 4k pls
Good video very interesting 👍
Thank you 👍
Did they actually get certified NF this time?
Doubt they ever will. Your better off adding an android box if you really need NF. Imo NF is trash anyways. I bought a years worth of NF and we never watch it. We use alternative ways to watch movies 😉
I have the Horizon Pro and it works fine with Netflix 4K on the latest firmware. Not sure if this was an issue on earlier software releases?
Just connect a firestick for NF 4K
You will never regret buying apple tv 4K. The youtube video i played on the default app from xgimi’s android os and the one from apple tv 4k, you can see a huge difference. I have a Halo+ attached to the apple tv 4K, it just feels so better, It will be even better with horizon pro or ultra🤩🤩🤩
@@TheBigb1973 yes of course but that's not the point. Price point.
Non of these small projectors are actually "real 4k"
Awesome! ！
Pro looks better. Keeping my Pro.
Technically the Ultra is actually better, but the Pro is still an amazing projector.
MuchasGracias ! si
