XGIMI HORIZON 1080p FHD Projector 4K Supported Movie Projector, 1500 ISO Lumens, Harman Kardon Speakers, Android TV 10.0, Auto Focus, Auto Keystone Correction, Auto Object Avoidance, WiFi Bluetooth

Background: I own a LG OLED 55-inch 4K/3D TV in my Living Room. So, I ordered this Xgimi Horizon projector is mainly for my small bedroom which also is my home office with a white wall. Review: I received my projector yesterday. The shipping packaging is great with ALL (6) sides air bubble protection sheets so there is no way my projector will be arrived damaged. I am surprised that this projector is not big at all, so it will not use up too much space. Setting up this projector was smoothly; I was able to play YouTube videos without any issues. After installed the DesktopManager App, I was able to install Netflix & play movies without issues. This projector can produce very BRIGHT image, & the built-in speakers are loud & can fill up my room easily. For the best sound, I was able to connect my Sony wh-1000xm3 headphone to this projector thru Bluetooth. However, I did have issue to upgrade the firmware. I emailed Xgimi USA Tech support & they were able to resolve it within hours. Five stars for the Customer Service Team!! Overall, I am very happy about this projector & hope it will last for years. One more thing … I was concern about the USB2.0 ports … not sure if they can handle large MKV files … well I can confirm that playing these large video files on my Samsung T7 external SSD drive with zero issue. Can’t wait to test the 3D feature in the future.

I can talk about how great the look and quality is! But the sound is crazy good. Not even half volume and it’s plenty loud. Great product hopefully it last long!

This thing is great, sounds great, and looks amazing. Netflix is there and they include a 2 steps you need to do in order to see it. I watched a movie yesterday using netflix right from the Xgimi Horizen. I was seconds away from buying the lesser Nebula Cosmos 1080p, but so glad i decided to pay a little more (Got this on black friday for $850) I just project onto my off white wall and it instantly creates a movie theater in the bedroom. The screen is about 120" at around 8ft away. Auto keystone ans focus work well. I cant comment on the longevity of this but the warranty is only 1 year. Warrantys nowdays are mostly 1 year so it is what it is. Buy this projector. After some research I believe this to be the best bang for your buck. It all really depends what you use it for. I just use it to move frreely around the house and can watch on walls, outside on the garage, pretty much anywhere you have a flat surface. Get the tripod too. Xgimi only had a refurbished one in stock so I bought it and saved 1 dollar (really xgimi?) It works like new and does its job. I felt their tripod is slightly overpriced at around $70. All in all take your chances and buy this projector !! Still 5 out of 5 for our 1st night using it. Things that can improve- remote needs backlighting. More color and picture settings, sound EQ would be nice.

TLDR: Great projector but cheap remote control EDIT: 5/6/2022 - 1 star I noticed the remote's up arrow is must be pressed hard to work. All of the other buttons I just have to click a little bit. First Review 5/6/2022 - 4 stars Received 5/5/2022 I was fortunate enough to see and used the following 1080P projectors and I have ranked them: 1. Xgimi Horizon 2. Nebula Cosmos 1080P 3. Anker Nebula Solar Portable 4. Xgimi Elfin Mini Horizon and Cosmos spits on the Solar and Elfin both in sound and brightness so most of my comparison will be between Horizon and Cosmos Pros - Auto keystone correction: Horizon's 4D and Cosmos's 2D. Being able to set Horizon anywhere auto adjust is a huge plus while Cosmos has to be place around in front of you which is limiting. I missed Elfin Mini's easy usage that bugs on Cosmos on top of lack of smartness made me purchase Horizon - Brightness: Horizon's 2200 vs Cosmos's 900. I did not know how important brightness especially for living room like mine that is not light controlled. Although Cosmos was usable during day time, I wouldnt prefer it. With Horizon, I actually enjoy using my projector now even at day time or windows open as it is still super clear - Shape: Horizon's cube vs Cosmos's oval shape. Cube is definitely a lot space friendlier compared to the oval shape. Although Horizon is a bit taller, Cosmos is wider - Bugs: Have not seen any from Horizon but with Cosmos, I keep getting randomly disconnected from Wifi every 30 mins (Im sure it's not Nebula's fault) because bugs happens but that was enough for me to switch to Horizon Cons - Speakers: Horizon's 2x 8W built-in Harman Kardon vs Cosmos's Dolby Digital Plus& 2x10W. Horizon seems to be louder but Comos has a higher sound quality and deeper bass - I will miss Cosmos's bluetooth speaker mode as Horizon does not have it. For Horizon, Air Screen would be required to play musics from my phone to the projector but Cosmos turns off the lamp which increases your projector's longevity especially when you play lots of music - Power: Horizon's power brick is bigger which makes it less portable and eats more power from my power bank compared to Cosmos smaller power brick - Remote Control: Horizon's thick, longer, heavier, and the small rounded volume buttons are aligned horizontally, far away from each other, are also the flattest buttons ever. Like did you guys run out of plastics or something? It also curves up right underneath it making them even harder to click. It also makes this loud noise when placed down. Click feeling feels cheaper compared to Comos controller. Meanwhile Cosmos are way thinner, way lighter, smaller, and well put together. For my use case, I am sticking with Horizon because I love the brightness and the user friendliness of 4D auto correct keystone

I am moving up from a budget projector that cost about $200. I wanted a projector with HDMI arc, a low latency rate for gaming, good focus across the entire image, and a long lamp life, spending not more than $1000. This was the only one I identified that met all those criteria. In picture quality, focus, usability in a lighted room, HDMI arc for my sound system, lag time in game play (especially in boosted mode), this projector delivered everything it promised and is a major improvement over what we had before. The one complaint I have is that auto keystoning did not work as advertised. I could not get it to give me a level, rectangular image no matter how many times I tried. That said, I was able to easily adjust the image using the manual keystoning feature. I do not have a screen, but am projecting onto a wall with screen paint. Perhaps the lack of a border is the problem, but I've seen videos promoting the auto keystoning which shows it working on a wall without a screen. I also found that I could not get the image I wanted with the projector as far back as my previous one was. I could put it in the same location, but the auto focus would not work, so I had to move it up closer to the wall on which I was projecting. Still, I have a very large image. I haven't measured it, but it is certainly more than 120". Despite those complaints, I still recommend the projector. For the price, it is well worth it.

I made this mistake of not doing enough research before buying a projector. I wanted a projector, because I wanted to create the biggest picture I could to fill up a 14' wall in my bedroom to watch the NBA playoffs. I first purchased a Samsung freestyle projector. Had it for 2 days and had to return it. The projector itself had what I would call the worst image I have ever experienced. It was more of a toy that a usable projector. anyway... I did more research and what I wanted was a projector that had a decent image and was portable. I stumbled onto the xgimi projector while reading some reviews online. this particular projector met all my needs. 1. had to be light and easily transportable so I can take it from room to room and even outside without much effort. 2. bluetooth compatible so I can use my existing surround sound while watching games or movies and 3. the image quality must be well above average. this projector met all those needs and honestly blew away my expectations especially after using the Samsung freestyle for a couple of days. the only downside for some might be the inability to stream Netflix. I have seen a workaround, so it's not impossible.

TL;DR - it’s an amazing product, I love it and wouldn’t have picked anything else for my money. Customer support is very responsive (thanks Winnie for your help!). The only drawback is the onboard android smart tv has some issues for my viewing habits (no Netflix yet, and some picture issues in the Criterion Channel). I needed to pair it with an Apple TV, and once I did everything has been fantastic. 3rd UPDATE - 5* Their customer support has been very responsive. They fixed this product listing and removed the hundreds of unrelated reviews and info for an older model. They also helped with all my technical questions. The projector is really excellent and I’m enjoying it. For my use it required an AppleTV to get the best performance out of it. A small compromise for an excellent projector. For more details, read below. 2nd UPDATE - 3* Have spent much more time with the projector this week, including connecting it up to a Roku Express as well as an Apple TV 4K. Both of them resolved the brightness strobing I was seeing in Criterion Channel streaming. It convinced me it’s an interpolation issue. While that shouldn’t be the case, I’ve only seen the problem on the Criterion Channel App on the on-board Android TV OS. Running the same films on the Criterion Channel app on either the Roku or Apple TV didn’t have the issue. That difference shows a problem, I’m just not sure what it is. It’s a shame to need an additional streaming device on top of the one included in the smart projector, but it does solve the issue and also provides Netflix (currently missing from the Android TV OS due to licensing. That may change down the line). The Horizon handles connectivity very well in general, so switching between the on-board OS and the Apple TV has been quick and painless. And the Horizon’s remote functions well for operating both, no programming needed. The same is true for connection with a Bluetooth speaker as a sound output. Once paired, the projector remembers the most recent output setting (internal speakers vs Bluetooth external speaker) and automatically connects on startup. The Autofocus has been flawless (when I trigger it manually, the automaticity triggered autofocus on startup was not great and I turned it off). I don’t use the keystone corrections or digital zoom, so no comment. I think Xgimi took a good deal of care in the hardware and software design, it takes thoughtful engineering to make something this complicated work well and easy to use. It feels like they are aiming at the finesse and polish of an Apple product, and they are very close. Maybe the only tricky part is understanding what settings are best between an external streaming devices and the projector with it’s interpolation (MEMC). I’m not sure what it’s supported frame rates are (besides 1080p@60hz) and haven’t figured out the best output settings to use on Apple TV to feed it. But for the most part, the resulting interpolated image is pretty good. I can’t stress enough how significant streaming bandwidth has been to the image quality. It may be obvious that quality of the output can’t be better than quality of the input, but this is the first projector I’ve used as a TV and it took a few experiments to realize just how important internet speed is to performance, especially with a large image. Finally, I haven’t yet gotten a solution from Xgimi about the issue I’ve mentioned. A representative replied saying they’d need some time. It does seem Xgimi is working on things. They released a FW update yesterday adding 3D functionality and bug fixes. Always nice to see active development. Really this should be a 5* review, it’s a beautiful product. They need to: 1. Separate the unrelated products on this Amazon listing, it’s a cheap marketing tactic that doesn’t fit the high quality of this company. 2. Solve the Criterion Channel interpolation issue on the Android OS. 3. Provide guidance on optimal settings for an external streaming device, when to apply MEMC, and the resolutions and frame rates that are supported with out interpolation. 1st UPDATE - 2* There’s a brightness strobing issue with certain movies. I’m seeing this on Criterion Channel and for now assuming it’s an interpolation issue. But it makes these movies unwatchable. Reached out to Xgimi, and will update when they reply. ORIGINAL REVIEW - 4* All reviews before this one are for an older model and unrelated to the Horizon. Otherwise, the Horizon is a great projector. Good image quality (pretty sharp, fluid, with occasional processing artifacts and/or noise, but totally enjoyable and acceptable for this price) and brightness (washed out daytime, good when dim and dark, blacks are high but ok for the price), good sound for an all-in-one (clear and loud enough for watching tv, not “cinematic”), easy to use, and looks great. IMO between the 1080p Horizon (“Grey” option listed on this page) and the 4k Horizon Pro (on a different page), there is not enough difference in picture quality to justify the $500 difference. I recommend saving the money and getting this one.

I was completely blown away by the sound quality of this projector. The Harman Kardon speakers exceed all expectations — phenomenal depth, rich bass, and immersive audio that fills the room effortlessly. There’s absolutely no need for a soundbar; the built-in speakers handle everything flawlessly. The image quality is just as impressive — bright, sharp, and perfect for home viewing. Colors are vibrant, and the brightness is ideal even in moderately lit rooms. For the price, this is hands down the best purchase I’ve made. The build quality, remote control, and overall design are top-tier, with a premium feel and exceptional functionality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding home theater experience.

Nunca había tenido un proyector de Cine, y no sabía lo que me estaba perdiendo. Es hermoso, tener una pantalla de más de 100 pulgadas en tu propio dormitorio. Al principio lo usaba directamente en la pared blanca y con eso era suficiente. Después compré una pantalla para protectores de 120 pulgadas, pero si no quieres no es necesario. El sistema operativo que trae es Android muy fácil de usar y no me ha fallado para nada. Recomiendo comprar unas buenas bocinas para poder disfrutarlo, pues su bocina integrada, no es la gran cosa.

Great

After months of research I decided to upgrade from wzatco m6 pro projector to the Horizon. And I am impressed by the picture and sound quality of the projector. At present I am projecting it onto a wall with a light yellow paint yet the picture looks vibrant and real. The projector is bright enough to play even during day time with curtains drawn. The auto keystone and focus features are excellent. I did have to calibrate them though. During calibration it needs to be kept within 6ft of the wall and the projector has to be levelled. Different experience altogether when watching sports and movies. When watching sports I use office mode instead of the football mode. The picture and video posted are when using apps on firestick 4k during the afternoon. The device s/w playback on YouTube and Google movies is excellent. The UI is smooth. The remote feels premium and has a convenient dedicated auto focus button on it. Even with projector close by you will not hear the fan noise. The boot up is very fast and the setup is a breeze but for some reason it will not allow you to complete setup with out a Google account which maybe the only fault I can find. I will update the photos when I have put up the screen. I bought it from the seller Aytexcel. Their packaging was excellent with air packets put around the original box before putting it into to an Amazon box to ensure there was no damage to the product. Amazon delivery was excellent as usual. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend this product if your looking for a quality projector.

I did a lot of research before buying this projector and it is definitely the right one for me. Here is my review of it so far. The picture quality is great, I have no complaints with it, the autokeystoning does not work well for my situation, but the manual keystoning is awesome. Remote is nice and high quality feeling. The buttons are not backlit but this does not matter, each button is a different shape/feel so it is very easy to tell which button you are pressing without having to look. The sound is AWESOME, I have the projector sitting behind me and I dont need a sound system, audio is crisp and clear, music sounds great through it, and it gets loud. The fan inside is dead silent, I swear they are using noctua because I would fully believe its passively cooled if someone told me. The remote is a requirement to use the projector, keystone, etc (if you have autokeystone turned off). I forgot it when I took it with me on a trip but was able to still use my nintendo switch as I had HDMI-CEC on and the projector autoswitched to the right HDMI. Keystone was ofc skewed but it worked for mario kart. Some thing people should know. This projector uses software keystoning, not hardware. There will be a dark grey outline around your image, this honestly does not matter and is not noticeable in use. For people looking at this for gaming, the 1080p (non pro) edition is actually faster than the 4k pro model. My one is measuring 17ms without keystoning or 67ms with keystoning, IMO this is acceptable for gaming, zero complaints using it with a switch or controller. The remote does NOT have a source button on it, however there is a very very easy fix for this. There is an app called TVquickactions that costs 5$ (that's basically a cup of coffee now days). Get it. With it you can make it so when you double tap the home button the projector goes to source 2, and when you long press it the projector goes to source 1, a quick tap brings it back to the built in android TV. That is how I have mine set up however it is customizable to almost every button (unfortunately not the assistant button). Other than that, get a chromecast TV (the one that comes with a remote) and use that for netflix, its way easier (and you can use the xgimi remote to control it too using HDMI-CEC) and is just like normal netflix. It is NOT Xgimi's fault netflix doesnt work nicely, thats netflix's stupid corporate greed only allowing large manufacturers to get authorization. XGimi has done everything possible and complied with all the requests from netflix and they, like other small manufactures, are being given the DMV treatment. I use a HDMI switch to swap between my PC, wii u and switch for the input on HDMI 2 (set to game mode), the switch I got is 4k60 compatible and doesnt need a usb to power it (my PC is always on so the HDMI is always giving it power) I am not sure if you are allowed to post links in reviews so here is the tail end /gp/product/B08SLCKD9T/ It works amazing, no extra latency, I used it with this cable for my pc (30ft length) /gp/product/B01HJVIBJE/ and these short cables for plugging in my switch, wii u and the hdmi switch /gp/product/B01CQRN7XQ/ All work for hdmi 2.0 at 4k60. I realize that HDMI switch does not have many reviews, but it does work, and it works great. Xgimi frequently updates the firmware and has fixed any bug reports I have given, I have no complaints about my current set up.

Best value, I can't believe it's 1500 ISO lumens, feels like more. It's so bright and rich in colour even with my room's double LED tube light on one side. OS is fast. I don't recommend gaming, though I have tried Witcher 3; it's playable, but for some weird reason it auto selects 4K 30 fps, which may be a PC setting issue. Movie quality, movement compensation, auto alignment, and focus are all good and sharp. I can't praise enough the sound quality you get from that tiny speaker—crystal clear. Bluetooth is very fast; I have tested it with my Razer Baracuda Headset and Creative Pebble Pro, and there is no lag in the audio. Sorry for the long review, but I thought it might help someone with the performance.
