XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro
Idéal pour : Idéal pour une grande image dans un salon partiellement éclairé, avec un placement décentré et une source externe.
En bref : Selon les utilisateurs Reddit, le XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro séduit surtout par sa forte luminosité, son image nette et son placement flexible. Son logiciel encore instable, ses noirs perfectibles et le risque d’effet arc-en-ciel tempèrent toutefois le bilan.
Au-delà de ce modèle, la marque XGIMI (toutes gammes) recueille 47 % d'avis positifs sur 457 utilisateurs Reddit. Ce signal marque ne compte pas dans la note du modèle ci-dessus.
Points forts
La forte luminosité constitue son principal atout et permet un usage crédible dans un salon modérément éclairé.

r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? It's not, don't buy older projector model the likes of c2 is ancient already. 20 pro is a lot brighter than c2 (iirc 50%), has vrr and vertical / horizontal shift. All OP issues can be resolved by using external box player and home speakers, they're not projector issue.
r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice You're not using a screen and in a regular room, you don't have to worry about black levels as your room is too bright regardless. Yeah the throw is different, however take note the shorter throw has worst contrast. For the pro2 if you use the 0.9 throw ratio instead of the 1.5, you'll be getting 42% lesser native contrast. You can experiment with plexi mirror to increase the throw distance but it has it's own issues too. The brightness between both is close, pro2 is like 10% brighter.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Their lens is good though. Is your room dark enough? The xgimi 20 pro / max has a lot less internal reflection than it's competitors like valerion that it has better ansi contrast - the brighter the picture/ higher apl Also, most reviewers and users don't use the build in software so they aren't bothered by your issues like stuttering disney+ app, laggy interface, no airplay, bad speakers etc.
r/projectors · Xgimi horizon 20 pro or Valerion visionmaster pro Different throw ratio, better check which one fits you. Xgimi has vertical and horizontal shift and vrr for gaming. Pro2 has better dynamic dimming but only if you don't use subtitles.
r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice Those throw ratio works via lens, so it acts like an iris which trades brightness for higher contrast. You can see how a reviewer test and calibrate a Valerion pro2 with optical zoom: https://youtu.be/brZuQxMJ-C8?t=25s
r/projectors · XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro best settings Imo think you're seeing laser speckles
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Cause you said there's no brightness difference as it's not true, only likely scenario is that it's not calibrated. Yeah lens shift disable features but it's either that or digital keystone. What feature does it disable that is significant ?
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Can try turn of the dynamic black, iirc dynamic dimming can be buggy.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Most reviewers and consumer feedback for projector are not lifestyle users. You didn't find horizon 20 pro to be brighter as you didn't calibrate or even use movie mode for color accuracy. Lens shift helps with placement, just go see the countless post on Reddit on people asking why they see outer light bleed due to keystone - like this https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/17v6m0h/is_this_outer_light_normal/
r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra/Vidda C3 ultra/XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro You want to use with ambient light and in non cave room. Non of your option works, best is to get ust + alr screen. Also, for tri lasers you should test your sensitivity to rbe. If you're then just get epson lcd ones.
r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice Rainbow effect, you will know if you see them. Best not to look out for it or any problems that you can't easily see. Ignorance is a bliss so if possible just enjoy it.
r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice Imo it will be great, however you should be worried about issues like rbe and speckles which is inherent to all tri laser dlp
r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice You mean zoom then no, it's the throw ratio. Yeah the labeling is confusing, it's the opposite of each other 1.25x zoom is 1.2 throw ratio, 1.0x zoom is 1.5 throw ratio. Here: https://www.projectorcentral.com/XGIMI-HORIZON_20_Pro-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc Yeah 4m for 120", hence I mentioned earlier you may want to experiment with mirrors haha. Also, hence why I prefer ust that you can get that 3-4k contrast without the absurd distance of long throw projector.

r/projectors · Choosing a video projector for a semi-lit room You have to be realistic, that never in your life have you gone to a semi-lit movie theater. That doesn't mean you can't project, but there is a reason theaters are dark, and your image will take a significant hit when you add ambient light. It won't make the projector unusable, but it will definitely remove that cinematic feel. As well, about half of the theater impact is the sound treated room that is painted completely dark. It's a quiet space with excellent audio. Something many people don't want to address with anything more than a speakerbar these days. The models you listed are all solid choices. BenQ thrown in is a good choice as well. At the end of the day, these models are all DLP projectors using the same DLP chip inside of them. They are more similar than different. The worst one would be considered very bright and high resolution from what we had 15 years ago. I personally think that models with optical zoom and a good amount of lens shift are the best purchase as they make setup far easier. So, I lean heavily into the Horizon 20 being a solid choice. If you need more brightness, and can afford it, get the better models. You have to understand throw distance, and learn to use this tool... [https://www.projectorcentral.com/xgimi-horizon\_20-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/xgimi-horizon_20-projection-calculator-pro.htm) You should also spend some time watching videos from a proper review YouTube channel. I like this as one of the best because of the real world comparisons of models put head to head at various price points... [https://www.youtube.com/thehookup](https://www.youtube.com/thehookup) You aren't going to struggle at your price point to find a solid projector that looks good. You will still only get part of the theatrical experience if you don't have great audio. You will probably be shocked at how good the image actually is after dark.
r/projectors · JMGO N1S ultra vs XGMI Horizon 20 - which one to choose If you plan to move the projector around often, then the N1S may be the better choice. If you aren't moving it all the time, the optical zoom and lens shift of the H20 combine with the better contrast for the clear winner. I think XGimi is working to fix the complaints you have about it. Not the first time I think they have come up. As said though, this is absolutely your choice. I take image quality every day of the week. Kinda crazy about the noise. I'd look for a lower power setting to see if you can dial it back. I can say the XGimi Titan Noir is nearly dead silent, as is their Elfin Flip 4K. The Flip is noisier than the Noir, but not intrusive in any way.

r/projectors · XGIMI Horizon 20 pro. I have this and many comparable units in my showroom and well… a “couple” of screens as well. It is certainly way better than the freestyle which is really just a toy. As far as screens go, your rooms lighting, screen size and seating viewing angles all play into the projection system. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to get into details and get a special Redditor deal on the horizon or anything else.

r/projectors · What to choise,advise needed Honestly? I'd go BenQ and not think twice. Look, the XGIMI gets a lot of love because it's got a nice interface and it auto-adjusts everything, which is cool. But for PS5 gaming and some daytime watching? The BenQ just makes more sense. Brighter, lower input lag, short throw (no shadows when you're gaming), and it's 500€ cheaper. The XGIMI is a solid projector. But for what you actually need, I think BenQ is the better call. If you're curious what else is out there around this budget, I [put together a comparison here](https://medium.com/@dejan-k/projector-vs-100-inch-tv-2026-d0b6e18c3c14), might help you see all the options. Either way, hope you enjoy whatever you pick!

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra or Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro If you are not focused on gaming. The XGIMI is awesome and top of the line for a lifestyle but there are some bugs and there will be more software updates. The C2 Ultra has been out for awhile and is a lot more stable. It can be had for a solid price compared to what it was when it was first released.
r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra or Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro The XGIMI is great for gaming but that’s really where the plus is. The C2 is way more stable and solid for gaming (not as good as the XGIMI) but the XGIMI currently has some bugs.

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra or Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro I have both currently. Keeping the c2 ultra since it is just smoother overall. No need for external speakers or a firestick due to software bugs. Spec-wise they feel similar to me. VIDAA OS is snappier. One major difference is the throw distance for the Hisense can be much closer to the wall.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? I paid $2000 for the c2 ultra and $1800 for the horizon 20 pro.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Even though the c3 is around the corner, the Hisense c2 ultra is neck and neck with the horizon 20 pro with similar specs. The horizon 20 pro is maybe a touch brighter but not significantly. The chip in the Hisense is a gen older but I wouldn’t translate that to outdated. Hisense feels more like an Apple product where everything just works.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Not sure why you are telling me what I did. I definitely tested each with their respective movie modes. I also have used lens shift. I didn’t like that it disabled features.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? I had it off due to the artifacts and black delays. I have only tried onboard apps. The projector sits on our table and projects onto our foyer wall across the stairs. Having any additional equipment there would be a big eyesore, so I’m not looking to add speakers or fire sticks.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? The lens shift is cool, but it shuts off features, so I didn’t use it. I didn’t find the horizon 20 pro much brighter than the c2 ultra in practice. I don’t understand why reviewers don’t use these features. They are lifestyle projectors with the intent you use all the onboard stuff.
r/projectors · Why do most reviewers prefer xgimi over Hisense? Some are software issues. The black level issues are not. It’s like it takes 100 ms for the scene to adapt to black.

r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Hook Up measured the Dynamic Black Level being broken on the Pro, which could explain the lack of defined difference in HDR content, which you can see in the Avatar image, they're shockingly close except in highlights. So I hope Xgimi fixes that up in software, but I'm overall pretty happy with current native contrast on the Pro & Base!
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Sharpness is definitely better on the Pro, which becomes more noticable at larger throw sizes.
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback I can't say I have noticed so far in real-world use. I have noticed a few problems potentially with how HDR is handled by the Pro without tone mapping (extreme blow-out beyond the metadata), but I'm also not sure what method Hookup uses to measure the Dynamic Contrast. I would hope it is as simple as a software fix if it is the case.
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback It hasn't been acknowledged by Xgimi as far as I've seen. So even if it is software, no guarantee it will be fixed.
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Seems to be a problem with the Pro yeah. Just isn't particularly doing anything. Hopefully Xgimi can figure it out in a software update.
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Yess, thats with keystone enabled.
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Honestly I love it. Laser speckle is noticable (not distracting) in pure block colour or whites on full brightness (using the Pro), but has never drawn my focus, and is significantly reduced from the Hisense C2 Ultra I previously used. The Base shows slightly less speckle I would assume due to the brightness reduction. If you're doing daytime watching ALR is pretty unbeatable, but if you're doing something light-controlled I've heard good things about standard grey screens, especially Silver Ticket!
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Just tried it, Low Latency game mode will disable keystone, however if I had to guess it is about in line @ 4k 60fps with my old C2 Ultra, which if I had to guess would measure between 15-25ms input lag. It is perfectly playable, and would still be in line with most high-end TVs today imo.
r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback I don't think so, both of these projectors are brilliant, especially for watching sport. It all would depend on your outdoor screen really. These images were on a white wall in a pretty bright room and both looked brilliant in real life!

r/projectors · Need advice to choose between Xgimi Horizon 20/20 pro vs Valerion visionmaster pro 2 Apparently the contrast of the valerion does not do well with white subtitles, since it makes the image brighter overall, so with that, the horizon might be your better bet since it’s native contrast is technically better and you’ll have more freedom for mounting

r/JMGO_official · JMGO N3 Ultimate vs JmGO N5 Ultra Max Wow an actual Human sounding response. It's insane how much better I've seen JMGO support be compared to the Fiasco that is XGIMI right now . I regret not getting the N3 Ultimate. I had gotten a Horizon 20 Pro and it's been nothing but issues with firmware updates and broken features . I got an N1S 4K for a steal with a discount code and it brought the outdoor screen and stand . It blew me away at how easy it was to setup (even without optical zoom) and it had less speckle and rainbow effect compared to the much more expensive Horizon 20 Pro . My wife and I are legitimately looking to get an N3 Ultimate now and we're probably gonna do some reviews now. Seeing how much better you guys respond has pretty much sealed the deal for us . XGIMI even sent me a Vibe One for my troubles and it got put away because the N1S 4K just does a much better job .

r/projectors · ~1875Hz noise spike from Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro I have a Chinese version of the projector and cannot hear high pitch voice, only the fans. it is not common for this projector. I guess either you got a defective unit or sensitive hearing. The highly praised Nexigo Aurora Pro, instead, has a prominent pixel shift mechanism sound that I cannot stand. No one mentioned it, only a less known (mondoprojos fr) reviewer.

r/projectors · Need your help in choosing a good projector at around €1-1.5K range for cinema / presentations during daylight — tested a few but didn't find the one... "ZGIMI Horizon 20Pro — seems like it could work but I don't like those "smart" projectors for the lack of control." I have this one and i am in love with it, Not sure what lack of control yous peak of, you can turn off all auto settings and do it all urself. Personally i keep them on because i am kind of a "noob" at this and i think auto will mostly do better than my own tinkering for now :X (I also like that you don't have to put it perfectly center X millimeters away from the screen/wall to get the best imgage because it has those lense shift and what not) But as for the projector it has excellent light, i've even used it midday with entire right side having windows with lights coming in, was still watchable but obviously not ideal.

r/projectors · Need advice to choose between Xgimi Horizon 20/20 pro vs Valerion visionmaster pro 2 I'm also from Spain and had the same dilemma with these 2 projectors (Valerion vs Xgimi horizon 20 pro). I ended up buying the Xgimi solely because of the lens shift as it will have to be placed on the side of the sofa and felt that Valerion slight better picture would not be fully utilized in those conditions... I'm receiving mine this next Friday, I'll check if the lens shift truly makes it work for my setup and if I see that I end up needing keystone either way then I will likely return it and go Valerion. Keep us updated on what you choose!

r/projectors · Early days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Max I can only really speak to the Max as that is the model I have. When calibrated this projector has a maximum of 3500 lumens available, this is very bright and would be able to be used with some non direct light in the room. I use a matte white 1.3 gain screen. If you are planning for a 92" screen from only 10' away I would think the pro would be acceptable. There is a good video that compares all three Xgimi Horizon 20 models on YouTube that I have linked here that will hopefully help you make your decision. https://youtu.be/1bgx841ENRc?si=_xWbn8vk59XokoXH

The latter models have a so called «Red Ring Lens» that should in theory affect the picture quality. Have you noticed any difference in sharpness or overall picture quality/bluriness between the 20 and the 20 Pro (excluding brightness)?

r/projectors · Best $2k-$3k lifestyle projector late 2025 Max is the only one that has the RBE reduction right now, but my understanding is that there are plans to bring it to the Pro 2, but no official dates on that yet. If the RBE reduction feature is important to you then you should go with the Max or Pro2. If RBE is typically not a problem for you neither the Horizon 20 Max nor Horizon 20 Pro exhibit above average RBE and I think would be a better fit for your space.

r/projectors · Projectors without rainbow effect I've been dealing with this on the Flip 4K myself. Did you try updating the firmware over USB for the Horizon with the new (came out last month I think) firmware that supports the anti-RBE feature? I have a Titan Noir Max coming that will have this feature and I'm hoping it will address it, otherwise the Valerian solution is supposed to work very well. But your Horizon already has this feature that should reduce it to some degree if you are on the latest firmware (USB update required, OTA doesn't have it).

r/projectors · Xgimi horizon 20 Pro. Dble et anti rbe fonctionne ? DBLE is still disappointing to me, sometimes it works, but most of the time it's unwatchable. Anti RBE is nice, I'm very sensitive to RBE and the setting reduces it to a very manageable level. I can still notice it if I'm focused on finding it but it's no longer bothering me

r/projectors · XGIMI Horizon 20 pro. I just got mine. Thing is an absolute beast. My room is fairly dark but I have white walls which bounce light around a lot so I think I that low gain screens work best for me. This projector is really bright so you can project onto a pretty dark gray material and still have great highlights with much deeper blacks. Looks way better like this than with my white wall. I ended up building my screen out of spandex because it was low gain, doesnt speckle, and is acoustically transparent. Plus it was way cheaper and allowed me to fit the space perfectly.

r/xgimi · Noise reduction Xgimi horizon 20 pro I'm not ordering the same one. Sadly Amazon doesn't want to do a replacement, just a refund and I ordered it's on sale so it's 200€ more now. With that in mind, I've decided to just go with the Xgimi Titan Noir Pro and avoid the Horizon 20 line.
r/xgimi · Noise reduction Xgimi horizon 20 pro You might've gotten a bad one. I replaced my JMGO N1 Ultra with a Horizon 20 Pro a few weeks ago and it's definitely much louder than the old JMGO. Same fan speed at all laser settings (apart from 10+, which makes it spin light crazy). The noise was bothering me quite a bit, and yesterday the projector actually turned off while watching a movie and completely died. I can't manage to turn it on again. Luckily it was delivered just 10 days ago so I'm returning it to Amazon. So if your projector is louder than expected… it's a possible sign that something might be wrong with it, because most people that have one mention that it should be almost silent at low laser settings.

r/xgimi · Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro or waiting for new series if you are in the EU, I have coupon to get the 20 Pro for 1779€ (new) until tomorrow. Contact me if you're interested. If the H20 Pro is bright enough for you, you don't need to wait for the new range. Buying electronics is never a good investment as it quickly drops in value so by the time the H30 arrives on the market, the price of the H20 range will have dropped. H30 range will probably be a bit more expensive so if you want this one to be cheaper, you'll have to wait again.
r/xgimi · Guide : How to choose between Horizon 20, Horizon 20 Pro, Horizon 20 Max ah yes indeed. Lens shift will decrease brightness a little bit but there is a safety margin in my calculation so it should be fine.
r/xgimi · Guide : How to choose between Horizon 20, Horizon 20 Pro, Horizon 20 Max Thanks :-) Yes indeed, that was a bit the marketing and fear of missing out pushing people to buy the more expensive model. H20 Pro and Max are better but you really need to have good eyes to see the difference.

r/projectors · Xgimi horizon 20 or something else? I see where you’re coming from with your set up, but for me Basically, i’ve never even owned a tv! I love watching films but I have only had a laptop until now. My vision for This Is having a really good projector and screen that I can fold away and put away when it’s not in use, where I can watch films in a very immersive way. I was going to get the horizon ultra and then I realised I have budget for the horizon 20 and now I’m getting sucked into the titan noir but it looks really physically huge, has not been tested properly and I guess I’d have to wait at least three months to get one (and I’d obviously only get the base Model). So basically, I’m torn between getting the Titan noir or just getting the horizon 20 pro which is having a little sale now! I’m sure any projector I buy will be mind blowing for me after watching on a laptop for so many years. Oh, and I was gonna get the ez cinema screen from elite screens so that when I’m not using it, I can just fold it away and hide it on top of my shelf lol

r/projectors · Xgimi horizon 20 or something else? Well, the upgrade would offer a brighter image and triple laser technology over a laser-LED hybrid. So, it does have its advantages. If you’re willing to spend that much money just to casually view it, I won’t dissuade you from doing so. However, you should be aware that this is essentially the point of diminishing returns.
r/projectors · What to choise,advise needed Well we also need to factor in ALR screen as well. Since I don’t own an ALR screen, I usually keep my blinds closed to accommodate the white screen I’m using. Both of them look fine. Room treatment comes first over the projector tbh.

r/projectors · What’s better for watching movies? Valerion VisionMaster Pro or Pro 2? Not sure if you pulled the plug or not but here is what I found. I recently went down a similar rabbit hole deciding on what to buy and what I wanted it for. I had narrowed it down to the nebula x1, Benq TK705STi, the visionmaster pro 1 or 2, xgimi horizon 20 or 20 pro and the trivision ultra. I wanted a projector to watch the world cup outdoors in evenings/ night along with a projector that would deliver a good picture in the dark for movies etc that wouldn't burn the eyes off of me/ has decent black levels. I also am aware that most projectors will be washed out in evenings (until it gets darker) on a standard white screen but I dont care as long as I can make out who can score etc. Reviews on the horizon 20 and pro stopped me buying this as the rbe is very bad allegedly. The trivision is not sold here. So I went with the visionmaster 1 as I got a really good deal at 1600 euro. Image is very watchable on a wall during day with light shining on wall. Can be washed out though if sun raises its wonderful head. Colour and black levels at night are excellent. Very vivid. Good contrast. No rbe as the new rbe software works great. No laser speckle noticeable my end either. All in all I would say I'm delighted with my purchase, no complaints.

I think max would be an overkill. If you have lit room only then Pro or Max will be helpful otherwise even the base model performs well in lightly lit rooms. At 100” it gets too bright.

r/xgimi · Guide : How to choose between Horizon 20, Horizon 20 Pro, Horizon 20 Max Thanks for the explanation! Actually I won’t be projecting at 185 inches. I’ll use the optical zoom to reduce the image size. My constraint is a 75cm table sitting below the projection area, so I need to shift the image up using lens shift, and zoom in to keep the image within the available wall space (235cm total height). I’m targeting around 120 inches, which should put me in a much more comfortable range brightness-wise with the Pro.
r/xgimi · Guide : How to choose between Horizon 20, Horizon 20 Pro, Horizon 20 Max Also thanks for your tool but one note: at 500cm projection distance (my usecase), all cells turn red for all three models. A bit discouraging! Would be great to have some context for longer distances.
r/xgimi · Guide : How to choose between Horizon 20, Horizon 20 Pro, Horizon 20 Max After reading your article, I think I have my answer. My use case is mostly evening/night viewing, and you explicitly say the Max is "ideal with an ALR screen" which I don't plan to use. On a white wall, you even say it would be wasteful ... My room gets bright in summer evenings west-facing but I have shutters for the worst cases. Going with the Pro at €1,769 ... saves me €775 for no real compromise in my setup. Thanks for the thorough comparison!

r/projectors · Early days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Max I'm very happy with the Pro. At full zoom across my room I get great contrast and sharpness. I do not use 3D so cannot help there. I believe the pro provides the minimum lumens required for hdr content on a 100in or larger screen.(I never reduce brightness below 10) Keep in mind that true 6000ansi lumen projectors are around the corner.
r/projectors · Early days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Max Sold the Max and stayed with the XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro. Many bugs in the software but the image quality is excellent to me. Perceived contrast without ebl is higher on the XGIMI due to the better lens. Peak brightness was higher (blinding) on the Max but only noticeable on flash scenes.(Spotlights or explosions) Iris on the Valerion did improve contrast but at expense of brightness. I found I never used anything above level 2 (out of 6) anyway.
r/projectors · Early days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Max No mention about the lens quality. The xgimi Horizon 20 Pro image is much sharper. The Valerion Max images feel soft.

r/projectors · Keep my BenQ HT3550 or buy XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro? Also if you wanna stick with the horizon 20 pro it does have its benefits like easy placement due to lens shift, one of the sharpest lenses and good for gaming and very bright, the cons are bad software or buggy with their ebl (enhanced black levels) which is usually the biggest con i’ve seen which if they fix that i assume it’d be a great projector but it seems as they’ve struggled to even getting it to work with dolby vision, etc, and just unreliable updates etc but for the price it could be perfect for you honestly and 400 more usable lumens is a decent jump with the choice to go higher with only a loss to contrast and acuracy in picture color.

I replaced my Epson eh-tw9300 ( us model 5040ub ) 2400 ANSI lumens with the horizon 20 pro and in terms of brightness it mops the floor with the epson. The horizon 20 pro has 10 levels of brightnes and a luminance boost mode and even on lv 1 it was alrady brighter then the Epson. For now I use level 3-5 with lights on and have a good picture. What you luse is the black floor. Also using a alr screen helps a bit 😁

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra/Vidda C3 ultra/XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro If you want brightness and punch for a living room with some light leakage and lamps on, the Horizon 20 Pro is a great pick. It handles ambient light really well and looks great for movies and gaming. It’s brighter than most in its class and gives you solid color and contrast in real viewing. Some folks mention a little rainbow effect with DLP, but personally I’ve barely noticed it and have enjoyed using this projector

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra or Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro The colors do look really good. I read some reviews saying the xgimi blacks looked more washed out than the hisense. After everything and your words im now leaning more towards hisense. Ive been seeing there is also the c3 vidda now that can be purchased from China and have been considering that, although it seems like it runs a Chinese OS(menus are in english) but doesn't include the Google TV operating system. I dont care so much about that as ill be using a firestick but my main things are contrast/color/brightness, my living room has blackout curtains but id like to be able to have a light or two overhead on. Im still on a benq ht2060 and when lights come on its totally washed out on a fixed frame screen. Since a projector is a purchase ill be keeping for awhile, id like to make the right decision and id rather not buy 3 different projectors at once and try them out because that's a good chunk of change to drop. Thank you for your help though, I appreciate the response and the pictures, trying to make this decision and place an order in the next couple days.

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra or Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro I stuck with the Hisense bc I felt like the color looks better. That is totally subjective but I do work in film where I’m constantly in meetings about color correction. Contrast is probably similar imo. I think xgimj is still working on fixing their dynamic contrast feature but I don’t like to use them. In the other projectors I’ve tried I could always see the projector processes the image then adjust the black level every time it switched scenes. Even though it was a split second it still bothered me. I’ve watched a few movies with the projector and used it for the Super Bowl on Sunday and have been very happy with it. I find myself fiddling with the color less, which is what was important to me. Brightness hasn’t been an issue for me, or something I was super concerned about. Only on Sunday when the Super Bowl started at 3:30 was I concerned about it being too light at my friends house but it was just fine. Even with a decent amount of ambient light we could watch the game no problem. I’ve included a photo of it at the beginning of the game around 3 in the afternoon. Hope that helps! https://preview.redd.it/jigtja1cgwig1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=878d87022cff27706b664c2002fc142e0de39873

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra or Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro I have the C2 ultra and a friend has the 20 pro. By looks the xgimi wins. By sound the C2 ultra wins. By UI ease of use and smoothness the C2 wins. By SW versatility the xgimi wins (google os). By brightness for daytime viewing the xgimi wins (4100lm vs 3000lm). By picture quality and contrast the C2 wins. xgimi vs hisense in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mKQqU6t\_1s. Conclusion for daytime viewing I'd get the xgimi 20 pro and for overall picture quality I'd definitively get the C2 ultra. Btw. on Alibaba you can already get the upcoming C3 and C5 (XR10 in Europe) with the Chinese OS if you are feeling adventurous.
r/projectors · Advice needed: Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2 vs XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro (RBE sensitivity + White Wall) I got the hisense c2 ultra (3000 lumen) and it‘s great just on my not even completely smooth white wall. If the wall is reasonably flat it will work fine. I have never tested a valerion. If you‘re looking for something brighter then go for the xgimi 20 pro (4100 lumen). I chose the c2 because I liked the contrast better than on the xgimi but on the other hand 4100 lumen make daytime viewing better. PS: On alibaba you could even get the vidda c5 (hisense xr10) with 6100 lumen. But don’t ask me how warranty cases are handled there.

r/projectors · XGIMI horizon 20 vs 20 pro I have returned mine. It's a great projector but it is a beta-test stage product. Software is not fully functional and there is no guarantee that it will be possible to fix everything. How can anyone say if these are durable? It launched relatively recently.
r/projectors · Making a decision by the end of the week. C2 ultra or Xgimi horizon 20 max Xgimi horizon 20 max is very bright and it can be too much for cinema room even on lowest setting. You can go with 20 pro for lower brightness. Unfortunately, the black floor of either projector is not all that good and it is a widespread issue in sub 3000 projector market. You can increase perceived contrast by using letnicular screen in cinema room or Fresnel screen in living room. Some calibration can also make blacks look more black. You can also try Nebula x1 pro for better black performance or nexigo aurora pro mkii. They roll out updates to dynamic iris for x1 model as well.
r/projectors · Valerion plus vs XGIMI 20 Valerion plus is only a viable option if you have absolute flexibility with placement of the projector and high degree of light control in the room. Valerion has better dynamic contrast as of now. XGIMI tries to come up with working dimming algo but so far it is the worst among all competitors. There is noticeable improvement when buying 20 pro due to the red lens but the price jump could destroy the value proposition. If you can perfectly position the valerion and will be watching in the light control room just get valerion. If you want to move the projector around a bit or have any flexibility in projector placement you should go with xgimi. The actual movie mode brightness difference is roughly ~15%. For my room the throw ratio of valerion was not working and I wanted lens shift, so I went with xgimi. If you are on strict budget you might explore Alibaba offers of xgimi. You can get red lens model for 1100-1200 eur DDP shipped. At the expense of 1 year warranty and need for external streaming box.

r/projectors · Laser projector headache vs Sony VPL I wore projector screens dot com and they recommend a Shadow something. I can’t remember but it was another 1.2K so I’m really on the fence right now if I want to keep it.
r/projectors · Laser projector headache vs Sony VPL OK so since you asked. It's been about a day. The instant on and off is fantastic since it is laser. I do see speckle since I have an older Da-Lite screen. However, this projector is very very bright. I had to turn it down to about 4 out of 10 and it was much less visible. About RBE. Yes it is there. I thought it would be much worse. But it was OK. I notice it on whites since I guess all 3 colors need to be on. I watched some anime on netflix and oddly didn't notice it once. When gaming I noticed only briefly. But it wasn't all the time and it wasn't like I used to see on the old office dlp projectors. Like on those I would see a few inches of a full RGB rainbow. I only see it a tiny bit and it is a sliver. My setup kind of sucks for this since I had a long throw home theatre projector at 13 feet for 100". This needed to be at 10' for 100" with zero zoom. So keep stuff like that in mind. It has been only day 1 since I got it. I'm still not 100% convinced I want to keep it. I messaged projector screens dot com, they said they have a screen that would work great with this projector at about $1.2k for 120" ALR. I'm not sure I want to spend that in addition to the $2.2K I just paid so I can move this back 3 feet where it was. I do see the RBE, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. This projector can get very bright. My god it is like a LED TV in a dark room bright. I would even pay for an add on that had a better zoom. I'm still on the fence. But PS5 with 4K games looks incredible. As did Disney+ that was built in at 4K. Those CG Movies like Zootopia look really sharp. I'm sorry I don't have any final thoughts. But it is day one. But boy do colors pop and the brightness is very good and the contrast is good enough for me. Side Thought: There is a Hisense U8K around the same price as this projector for 100". I'm kind of debating just going with a large TV. But the thought of that thing tipping scares the hell out of me.

r/budgetprojectors · Epson 3800? C2 ultra? Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro? Help buying my first projector with a $2k budget. The Epson 3800 only covers about 57% of 2020 color space; the Horizon 20 MAX (and assume other models) cover 97%. You are saying their tone mapping is terrible, because they have a lot more color to work with? If using MADVR - color fidelity argument should not matter, right? The Horizon 20 Pro and Base have less brightness in their "usable modes" than Epson 3800: Rtings rates the 20 MAX at 2687 lumens, Epson 3800 at 2334 lumens. Scale RTINGS figures to The Hook Up's measurements on all 3 - the Pro has 2034 Movie/ 2270 STD + boost; Base not worth mentioning. Horizon has other slightly better static contrast, and the aforementioned color advantage - but DLP and some dynamic contrast pulsing issues (post firmware update). Regardless - the Horizon 20 Max's Brightness figure of 5700 is measured at 5165 - but is green and unwatchable. It is the only model with brightness levels above the Epson 3800 in an actual "usable" mode. If anyone finds scaling based on RTINGSs figures (they didnt measure the Pro or Base; I didn't see the Hook Up measure Epson) - then the Hook Up measured Horizon 20 Pro at 2261 lumens Movie Mode; 2736 lumens on STD mode + boost; these are not calibrated but out of the box. I was about to buy a Horizon 20 because I had the same impressions about brightness, but figured I'd share my research for anyone else in the same boat.

r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback The 5050UB is advertised at 2600 lumens, however to achieve its full color depth it uses a filter that drops the light output by around half. If the 5040ub has the same color depth as the 50 (and therefore the filter) the base will be nearly 2x the lumens in Cinema HDR as the Epson in its HDR mode. Watch The Hook Up video; the difference in Cinema mode brightness between Pro and Base is only is 2-300 lumens... if you wanted more light, just hit the boost option. Unless the sharpness of the lens is significantly different, I see no reason to go with the Pro in a dark-room situation.

r/projectors · Need advice to choose between Xgimi Horizon 20/20 pro vs Valerion visionmaster pro 2 As we speak I am thinking to buy the Horizon 20 from the eu store from Xgimi itself. Still a couple of hours left for their black friday deals. The Horizon 20 is 1439 EUR. The Horizon 20 Pro is 1779 EUR. I opened the site from Belgium.

r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice Awesome! I see the deal is back on Amazon today. I am on the fence about this. Did yours arrive yet? I wonder what you think about it after viewing it in person.
r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice I also am evaluating these two PJs. But for me the lack of lens shift on the Valerion is the deal breaker, even though most reviewers are saying Valerion is better. Are you going to be able to place the PJ in the perfect position in your living room (I am not able to)? BTW, too bad that the Xgimi is now sold out on Amazon. It was a good price for 1750, quite a bit cheaper than the Pro2. It is available for the same price on Xgimi's own site, but then I do not get the interest free split payments option.

r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice I was in exact same confusion today morning. But went with Valerion Pro as I wanted Apple TV+ and Apple Airplay and both are not supported by XGIMI which was a deal breaker.

r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice Ohh, does that mean that for my XGIMI the optical zoom set to 1.25x is better then 1.0x? I have to projector at 4 meter on a 120 inch screen and it barely fits at 1.0x.

r/projectors · Is there anyone who is undecided between Hisense M2 Pro and C2 Ultra? I was facing a similar decision and chose the M2 Pro. Its the newer device, lighter, more compact, has optical zoom, comes with a carrying case, and was €300 (than C2 non ultra) cheaper. It’s more than enough for me since I use it in a small bedroom that I can darken. The C2 (non Ultra) does have higher brightness, a rotating stand, and I prefer that the power adapter connects to the stand. But those advantages were not worth an extra €300 to me. For the price of a C2 Ultra I would rather go for the XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro.

r/projectors · XGIMI horizon 20 vs 20 pro The pro and max are supposed to use the red lens which is a better optic on paper than on the base model. That may be the reason why it appear sharper. Yet another thing to consider.

r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Hello all, I've just acquired a Pro unit and in general I am impressed of the picture quality but something bothers me. I watch live tv using different cable and satellite receivers connected to the projector by premium hdmi cables, I also tested Apple TV conected by hdmi to the projector. While streaming applications or playing movies work rather fine from Apple, I noticed stuttering in live TV transmissions. You mentioned here that sports should be perfect to watch from this model of projector, but I noticed very disturbing stuttering with fast moving scenes especially in live sport transmissions, similar to frames dropping, no matter if output is set to 1080p or 2160p. A soccer game is very difficult to watch. I tried every possible configuration of image parameters but without succes. I also tried different hdmi cables, direct connections and so on. Stuttering seems to appear periodically, every few seconds, not continous, in my opinion. I don't think the unit is faulty because videoclips at 60Hz for example run flawlessly, but here television is at 50Hz. Could it be an issue with 50hz transmissions?

r/budgetprojectors · Epson 3800? C2 ultra? Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro? Help buying my first projector with a $2k budget. Because you said the space is open and used for other stuff, pick a laser projector with higher lumen output — the XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro (or Max if budget allows) will give you a brighter, lower-maintenance image that’s easier to live with in a non-dedicated theater. If you later build a blackout enclosure and want the “true cinema” look in absolute darkness, the Epson 3800 would be a fine alternative, but in an open basement the brightness and laser longevity of the Horizon line are very practical advantages.

r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback I just got a Horizon 20 Pro and have been generally pleased with it. However, all Dolby Vision content played through the Disney+ app stutters to the point where it is unwatchable. Thankfully, this doesn't happen with Dolby Vision content streamed through the Netflix or AppleTV apps. Frustrating nonetheless given all the great 4K content available through D+. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback Thanks for your efforts writing this review! Which imagesizes could compare directly? I had been looking for projectors in lower price ranges for a long time and noticed that I was always missing something. Then I found the Horizon 20 base model above my budget and am now wondering whether I should blow the budget to moon and buy the Horizon 20 Pro. I would be particularly annoyed if I had saved 300-400 bugs for a much blurrier image on 110". What would you say?

r/projectors · A few days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro & Base Model + Feedback I just ordered the base- it’s for backyard movies and won’t be doing any gaming. Upgrading from a $250 guy so I was just hoping for more brightness and better speakers + Bluetooth capabilities Would love to watch sports games while the sun is going down and not have to wait for it to be completely dark but I felt like the price to go with the pro may NOT be justified…. Felt like there was more within the pro that would benefit gamers Did I fuck up? Lol

r/projectors · Is the higher ISO Lumens worth the extra cost on the new xgimi horizon 20 pro vs the 20 and ultra I've got a Valerio Pro and using it mostly at 60% brightness in a dark room and it's more than enough. A horizon 20 pro is twice as bright

r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Horizon 20 I just today found out I can get the chinese models, shipped from Europe (so no 25% VAT) and since I will be using an Apple TV 4K I just need to be able to set it up and forget about the chinese OS. As a European I suppose the shoot-out is: XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro at 1.528 € (Chinese) [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009716362843](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009716362843) XGIMI Horizon 20 Max at 1.950 € (Chinese) [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009382902102.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009382902102.html) C3 Ultra at 1.890 € (Chinese, but I think with english menus - not sure the XGIMI's does that): [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009744712150.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009744712150.html) What would you choose? For 50% of it's use this will be the audio source so if one is known to perform slightly better I am all ears. Also XGIMI has a EU sale for the old Ultra for 1.050€ so a fair bit cheaper, but it just seems like the extra you get for the 475 from Horizon Ultra to Horizon 20 Pro it's worth paying the extra.

r/projectors · XGIMI Horizon 20 Max - Lens shift lies I also ordered the base version because I use my current projector in eco mode and was afraid the pro might be too bright. Maybe use an ALR screen to lower the brightness.

Questions fréquentes
Est-il adapté à une pièce lumineuse ?
Le consensus Reddit juge sa luminosité élevée et l’image encore regardable avec un éclairage ambiant modéré. Fermer les stores ou limiter la lumière reste préférable, surtout avec un écran blanc.
L’image est-elle vraiment bonne ?
Les utilisateurs Reddit apprécient particulièrement la netteté, les couleurs et le contraste perçu sur les scènes lumineuses. Les noirs sont moins convaincants, tandis que le contraste dynamique peut provoquer des variations de couleur ou fonctionner de manière irrégulière.
Est-il facile à installer ?
Le zoom optique et le déplacement vertical et horizontal de l’objectif facilitent fortement un placement décentré. Il faut néanmoins vérifier la distance de projection, la compatibilité du support et les fonctions désactivées dans certains modes.
Faut-il prévoir un lecteur et des enceintes externes ?
Plusieurs utilisateurs Reddit recommandent une source externe pour contourner les bugs, les ralentissements et certaines incompatibilités des applications intégrées. Le son embarqué est également jugé inférieur à celui de certains concurrents.
