Horizon 1080p FHD Projector 4K Supported Movie and Gaming Projector, 1500 ISO Lumens, Harman Kardon Speaker, Auto Focus&Keystone ISA Technology Android TV 10.0 Wireless Casting WiFi Bluetooth

I have the Xgimi Elfin, as a first stab at home theatre and I love it, but it was time to see what could really be done with an upgrade to 4K and a much brighter projector. I have not been disappointed, easy setup, software is even better (and it was extremely good on the Elfin). If you have android, setup is very easy and pretty much automatic if you scan an on screen QR and accept a few prompts. Picture Quality is fantastic HD, 4K etc.. is good, it must upscale the HD very well because it looks even better than on the native HD Elfin. The Elfin was quiet but the Horizon Pro is near silent. I had considered the Nebula Cosmos, but am so pleased I went for this. The other reason was the 1.21 throw, which means I could get a nice large image (100") in the same place I had the Elfin. The Nebula cosmos would have only produced am 88" image with it's longer throw. I haven't tried the sound because I actually use a soundbar on the floor so the sound is coming from the same place as the image... Some tips...get the Xgimi dongle, in the deal I had it was included free....powered from the Xgimis USB port and set up so the dongle can be controlled via the HDMI allows you to control the dongle from the main Xgimi remote! The dongle has, or can have installed, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney etc.. etc.. on it. By connecting it in the way described, the projector will boot, then the dongle boots and it auto flips to the dongle...After that the experience is seamless. (and the dongle remote can be stored in a draw). If you don't want to shell out for the dongle, then you will have to run the web version of netflix using "Desktop Manager" to install it. The advantage of the dongle I also believe is better motion, as the you're offloading that processing from the projector and can use weak motion smoothing on the projector settings, rather than medium for better quality. If you are controlling the dongle with the remote, pressing the gear symbol on the remote will take you to the projector settings, not dongle settings...then you simply change source back to the dongle. AN IMPORTANT TIP: if you have smart plugs and other devices that use the 2.4 GHz band and your router is serving both 2.4 and 5GHz...give each band different passwords! This will prevent the projector and/or dongle from using the must slower 2.4, if the signal is not very strong. My router is on the ground floor and I am in the opposite end of the house on the 2nd floor (signal says fair). By doing this, I'm guaranteed to get over 111mbps, with no fall back to the much slower 2.4 GHz. Update: I now have a mesh system installed for WiFi and things are even better. It's LED and DLP, very colour accurate and I like DLP because of the extremely good 3D capability, plus the fully enclosed light path, so not dust concerned. Just keep the grills vacuumed once per month, especially if you have a cat. This keeps it running nice n cool. This is not a paid or shill review, get it, you will absolutely not be disappointed. Amazing projector.

After having looked at many projectors - both traditional manufacturers like Epson and modern manufacturers like Anker, I picked XGMI Pro. And it has been an excellent decision. Used for about 6 months now. With traditional projector manufacturers, for a 4K projector at this price point you will unlikely to get both manual horizontal and vertical adjustment, let alone automatic clever horizontal and vertical adjustment that comes with XGMI. You are also unlikely to get digital image size adjustment without any perceivable loss of picture quality. Both very important if you want to fit your new projector in existing decoration rather and re-decorating the room around the projector. Also if you don’t want to struggle adjusting the projector every time the kids moves the projector around a little bit, this is a great one as the projector auto focuses automatically every-time the projector starts. So the picture sharpness is fantastic all the time. Also with many other traditional projector manufacturers at this price point, you are unlikely to get 4K or excellent picture quality with lots of useful adjustments (like digital brightness adjustment) like the XGMI. Again at this price point you are unlikely to get this level of brightness, which is very important if you don’t want washed out pictures when you are watching in the evening with some ambient light. Excellent built in sound quality. No need for an external speaker, if the projector is near where you are seated. Better than the Anker one due to much higher brightness, absolutely essential if you want to watch with some ambient light (like in the evenings). With Anker the picture would get washed out at the slightest ambient light. Assembled it with an Anker stand though which allows the wires to travel through the stand giving it a neat look. The wire is just long enough/just short. So a tight fit with anker stand. Overall a great projector, with lots of very useful and essential features, great brightness at a very good price point.

It's early days having just bought this but so far I'm blown away with this projector. We have a bedroom that doesnt really have anywhere suitable for a decent sized tv and the wife has often said she'd like a tv in the bedroom, so I had been looking into projectors as an option for a while. I actually stumbled across the XGIMI Horizon after seeing a product/sponsored video by Photographer/YouTuber Alen Palander, who did a YouTube video on the XGIMI Horizon Pro - which looked amazing, so I started to research further. With all the research I did, there were mixed reviews and quite a number of complaints about no Netflix available on the projector which was a concern - as thats what we watch the most (it's not an issue by the way - there are simple workarounds). I was also torn between buying the Pro or the Standard but after enough reading, I felt the additional £600 wasnt worth it for the Pro - which comes as 4K, so I opted for the standard Full HD and with that saving, I bought a really good quality projector screen, which I love so far too. Just to note that I got the XGIMI stand for this also, which has a piivot/swivel connection, that means you can set the vertical angle for the projector and fix in place - so no need to prop up on books or anything which I think is best for a semi-permanent position. I also bought a seperate dust cover as well, as the lens has no protection via a cap or anything like that, so I think the slip on dust cover is worth getting to protect the lens from anything, as well as the rest of the unit from dust. The sound is good quality but I do see us buying additional surround sound speakers at some point in the future. Im very aware of the sound, because the projector is next to my side of the bed, so the sound, although good quality - isnt immersive in that position but it would be absolutely fine if it was central to the viewing position - ie on a coffee table or tripod in front of, or behind a sofa for example. Start up time is really quick, set up was easy, navigating the screens has been easy so far too. We got Netflix installed easily enough through in-built apps (although programmes wont pause for us on Netflix using the workaround) and I understand we could also just stick an Amazon Stick into the projector and watch Netflix that way too but have not tried that yet. If you are considering this or the 4k Pro version, the standard would be my choice based on the standard Full HD being good enough for me and the fact that I was able to get a great screen, dust cover, stand etc and still able to save money rather than buyingthe Pro. I was also a bit worried about some reviews that mentioned the upscaling of FullHD sources to 4k wasnt very good and I dont think we actually have that many 4k sources yet anyway. I would have loved the chance to test run the Pro first to see how it was for myself but wasnt prepared to order one, pay the money and go through the returns process if I didnt like it and just felt it wasnt offering enough to justify paying so much more than the standard. Hopefully this helps anyone researching their options and happy to answer any questions if asked.

This WILL work without being connected to the internet so long as you use something like an Apple TV - but it does require a connection initially to set it up. I was really cautious about how good this would be - but in fact it is excellent. Great picture quality, and even the audio is decent. More than bright enough for evening watching - you do NOT need a pitch black room, we use it with side lights and it’s fine. It’s bright enough that you can even get a functional picture from it in daylight. In a north facing room (eg no direct sunlight) the picture is watchable, just. But obviously you’re unlikely to want to use it like that. You could, however, present in a meeting room using it, for example, so long as it’s relatively close to the screen (a couple of meters). The picture quality under that use will not be spectacular but will be good enough for a presentation. Wasn’t keen on the fact that it tried again and again to get me to create or link a Google account and other accounts. I don’t know this brand and don’t want to give it access like that. I connected it with Ethernet to get it set up, then disconnected it from the internet entirely, connected my Apple TV via HDMI and use that to control viewing. The remote that you have to use to control the projector is really bad - in a darkish room you can’t tell one button from another. Worst physical UI I’ve seen on a remote in a while. Menus are relatively straight forward and easy to understand. Not nearly as noisy as I had thought it might be from other reviews. There’s a fan, but it’s not intrusive. It’s a good size - easy to pop on a shelf, not too heavy. Will ultimately mount on ceiling, but for now easy to move around. Haven’t suffered from lag when viewing, but am only watching relatively slow moving things - not using it for gaming or action movies. For a first projector, and for what I paid I am very happy - the gripes above are minor.

I've used my XGIMI Horizon Pro for a while now and always been happy with it. As you can see from the pictures I've used it in different parts of the house and even in the garden during a end of summer BBQ recently and the picture quality has always been outstanding even when tested by some daylight. As with all projectors it's best when used in a light controlled room, but for sports and animated films for the kids you'll get away with some ambient light. The speakers are good enough that a sound bar isn't needed unless you're a real audiophile and I've had no problem with the Google android system, so I haven't needed to use a Fire TV stick or Apple TV. For some people you my need an external streaming device as there are some apps missing like BBC and even though there is a Netflix work around, it can be hit and miss. I don't use those apps on the projector so it's fine for me. Very good auto focus, auto keystone correction and obstacle avoidance if you're using a plain white wall, so you should have no problem adjusting the picture to fit your space. Overall creating a 100 inch image for family nights in and sports in the day it's a great projector and even better value for money now that the price has dropped. If you don't need 4k then the 1080p basic Horizon is identical and significantly cheaper but 4k content looks is very good on the Pro so worth it to me. For those wanting to vies 3D content the Horizon Pro is able to display this and is reported to be one of the best at it, so an additional bonus. I tested it once and it was cool but not something I've used again or need from my projector.

This is my third XGIMI purchased. Horizon and Ultra and now the Horizon Pro. FANTASTIC at a great price on Amazon. Clear and crisp video in 4K. I use this as portable and mainly garden events. No need for input speakers ans the speaker system is booming and clear. Film nights and sports events are better than pub garden screened viewings. Just watched Mission Impossible Final Reckoning. Amazing detail. Use WiFi or HDMI cable and great clarity with either. Can’t recommend more highly. Looking to get the set and hoping the IMax one next.

Sharing my thoughts on a recent two-time purchase. The projector itself is absolutely top-notch, truly best in class; I'm super impressed with the quality. However, the delivery experience has been a bit of a letdown. I was expecting it on time, but it seems there have been some issues. The main problem is the lack of updates; I haven't heard anything about its progress. It's really frustrating not knowing where my package is. Honestly, for a premium product, this delivery service isn't great. I'm hoping it arrives soon, but the communication needs a lot of improvement. There is no seller responsibility, and I'm receiving Amazon standard replies from customer service associates. This is very frustrating and disappointing; no one cares for the customers or their expectations.

I wanted to give this a bit of time before reviewing it so as not to miss out on anything. The TL;DR version is that this is a phenomenal little projector, being a great upgrade from my previously owned 1080p Xgimi MoGo Pro. Pros: * Great picture - although it's not "true" 4k, it's more than good enough to fool the naked eye and the picture is bright, crisp and well-detailed. It also has surprisingly good black level for a projector as long as you've eliminated the ambient light in the room, but even in a lit room you can get a watchable picture if you need to (although why you would use a projector in a bright room is beyond me!). HDR output is really nice by projector standards too - it's not going to beat an OLED, but for a projector this is on par with anything else I've ever seen before you get to the £5k sort of range. * In-built sound is punchy and loud enough to not need additional speakers if you don't plan to have it fixed in one place. I move it between two rooms, so I'm happy to use the in-built speakers and they do the job beautifully. It does have ARC support, though, so if you want to set up an actual 'cinema room' with this as the projector, it would connect up to your soundbar no bother. The rooms I use it in are too small to need that, though! * The automatic keystoning is a great feature. As mentioned above - I use this in two rooms. In my home office (ie: mancave) where I have a screen hanging on one wall, and in my bedroom where it's just projected onto a bit of white wall between the cupboard and door. The auto-keystone feature means I don't have to spend ages adjusting the picture every time I move it (this was always a pain on the MoGo Pro) and although it's not always perfect, usually only just needs a couple of small tweaks at most to be finalised. I'm able to watch happily in my bedroom despite the projector having to beam at an almost 40 degree angle (more on that below in cons though). * It handles gaming surprisingly well. I'm not a twitchy FPS player, but in game mode I was able to play Forza Horizon from my PC over HDMI with no problems and I didn't feel any real latency or lag. Same with more reaction-based stuff like Hades. It might not be what a pro gamer type would need (60Hz, for one thing, which is low for competitive gaming), but for a casual type like me, it's a lot of fun gaming on such a big screen. * Portability is excellent. It's small, compact-shaped (it's almost a cube, so doesn't take up too much room in any one direction), quite light and also has a standard issue tripod mount thread on the bottom if you want to attach it to such a thing. Cons: * It has 3D support, but it doesn't work all that well. I got a pair of Xgimi's 3D glasses free with it as part of a promotion when I bought it, and it took a lot of fiddling to get a crisp 3D picture. That said, there's not a lot of 3D content out there online anyway, so it might be ok for someone who's got a proper 3D blu-ray player and knows how best to set this stuff up. * When the projector isn't front and centre and matched up with your screen/wall, there is quite a lot of light bleed. This is an unavoidable side-effect of digital keystoning when you're projecting at an angle, but some sort of peripheral which could shutter this off a bit would have been nice. Unfortunately Xgimi don't make anything like that. There's also no lens cap (I don't think there's an official peripheral for this either) which feels like a bit of an oversight for such an expensive device. * The official accessories are very expensive. I looked into getting the tabletop stand (which allows for easy adjustments in angle if you're not 100% level) but it's £75, which is a bit ridiculous. Same with the bespoke projector stand - over £100 (frustratingly, I missed out on getting one for free as that promo came along a month after I bought it - would rather have had that than the glasses!). I've had to come up with some DIY solutions as a result. It also doesn't come with a cover, but there are some 3rd party ones on Amazon that do the trick. Just feels like at this price point, including a few extra things like a cover would have been nice. * The power brick is quite big - it's like a laptop style one, so if you're going to ceiling-mount this, you will need to take that into account and it might make your setup look a little messier. * There's no native Netflix support - I use a 4K Firestick, so that doesn't bother me too much, but it's just something to be aware of. This is more Netflix's fault (they refuse to make it available for certain companies for some reason) than Xgimi's, though. In conclusion, although I've listed a few cons there, they are quite nitpicky and I would still quite happily give this projector 5 stars with no hesitation. It's a wonderful piece of kit and I'm genuinely amazed at just how good it is when I look at some other projectors out there at similar price points).
