Review on XGIMI Horizon 1080p FHD Projector with 4K Support, Harman Kardon Speakers, Android TV 10.0, Auto Focus, WiFi Bluetooth - Experience Crystal Clear Movie Projection by James Auzenne

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wow. just wow. Very impressed with this projector

I wasn't sure what to really expect for less than $1,000 but wanted to try it for budget reasons. The projector looks great and is very small. The painting is huge and looks amazing on painted drywall. I am currently filling in a screen that is about 180 inches by about 18 feet but scaled down to fit! With an old Blue Ray 1080p player the picture quality looks fantastic up close. What also really impressed me is the keystone function. I've never done this before and seeing how good and how easy it was I placed the projector in a high corner of the room and mostly projected the image diagonally. A simple keystone menu placed the image perfectly within my target boundaries and made it so easy. The audio from the onboard speakers isn't bad, but I use the optical out to the soundbar (also used ARC and worked fine) and the stereo headphone out. Dark room and it's amazing The menu works well with the lights on, bright enough but should be dark for movies. It shows input speeds of 1080p@24Hz and sometimes 2K@30Hz from my Oppo 4K UHD DVD player, but while the picture is smooth and fluid, I didn't notice any lag or frame rate issues. There don't seem to be any instructions on how to do this and I'll probably need them, but without them I got up and started watching movies in under 20 minutes of opening the box. with amazing picture and sound (using the outputs) projected at a rather awkward angle. It amazes me how this thing can make a picture look so good and match the crazy angle I put it at. Again, I've never used keystone correction, but it's awesome. Had I known this earlier, I would have used them in more rooms instead of 4K TVs. I went downstairs and watched TV on my 75-inch Sony 4K XBR after watching the projector, and my "giant" TV in the living room felt like I was looking at a laptop screen. The projector is also small and easy to move. He looks very tall. - the end and way better than a $4,000 plastic projector with a huge lens. Another really cool thing is that the lens cover opens and closes automatically when the device is turned on or off.

Pros
  • Room-filling sound: two built-in 8W Harman Kardon speakers, DTS-HD and DTS Studio sound, Dolby Digital compatible.
Cons
  • Other Other
