The media could not be loaded. This projector is fantastic, it’s a long throw projector, so you’ll need the projector In The middle or the back of your room, if you have a small bedroom like me.What I like:Dolby vision, Dolby Atmos capabilityBuilt in speakers, decent enough, though you can tell there is no stereo separation with the sound.Reasonable contrast ratio and brightness levels in candle lumens, cd/Colour pops outBlacks levels are decent enough.Quality in HD and 4K is great, has good upscaling.Sources that look good with the projector.720P, 1024 x 768. 1280 x 720, 960, 1360 x 768 1080i, 1440 x 768, 1080P, 1920 1080.And especially 4K, 2160P or 3840 x 2160 or known as ultra HDAll those look great. With high fidelity, great definition and great colours.I like the auto focus, it makes images look great and is quick to do, by pressing the black circle once on the remote calls it up.I like that it has hdmi 2.0 EARC or Extended audio return channel. So you can connect sound bars and home cinema setups.It has Bluetooth, which I find can be made to sync the audio well on your audio device, but you need to adjust the audio or wireless audio sync on your set top box or streaming device, Apple TV 4K, for example or Amazon firestick 4K.I find that Sky Q has adjustable audio sync with 0 MS, so it syncs up well, with mouths, teeth, lips and different sound effects. As well as syncs up well with music.What I don’t like:Standard definition sources look poor on this projector, 360P, 480P and 576i.But you expect that.The contrast and brightness could be a lot higher for a LED, and Laser projector.It’s not a ultra short throw, so you have to place it a long way from the wall or surface.The price is too high at £1299 including VAT, 20%It doesn’t have IMAX support like the latest projectors.Continuing what I like:The colour, the fidelity, the sound with a JBL bar 800 sound bar and subwoofer system I’m using with 10 inch sub, 300 watt, and sound bar, 720 watt RMS. And two 80 watt rear speakers, it produces great sound, and Dolby Atmos. As well as Dolby digital DTS sound.The fidelity, the clarity, the ease of use, the compatibility, and the functionality.And the overall stunning quality of sound and video as well as the definition.Thankyou for reading my review, and thankyou XGIMI, for making such an amazing projector.Another thing to note it has, 25000 hours lamp life, it’s a laser and LED projector.It should last for many many years.

Spent 3 months researching projectors, making a choice and then going back and changing my mind time and again… until I saw the XGIMI Horizon Ultra. This little beauty ticked all the boxes, and then some!Setup was a doddle, the autofocus worked like a charm, and the auto keystone correction is mostly right (the ONLY issue I have had with this), but it takes literally seconds to manually adjust.It connected to our Samsung soundbar via blue tooth with no issues.The android tv plays YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime and others seamlessly, and the picture is amazing, and bright. We watched a movie in the day, with a full wall to ceiling window behind us and it’s perfect.And the best bit? 3D movies!!!!! Connect it to a 3D blu ray player, pop on the XGIMI DLP link glasses (not supplied with the projector, but they are only £20 a pair), and it’s like being IN the movie. We have a Samsung 55 inch curved screen 3D tv, and I thought that was brilliant, but this blows it out of the water. And it upscales normal movies to 3D. So impressed.We paired it with a portable 120 inch material projector screen and it’s amazing.The ONLy downside is that XGIMI don’t sell a carry case for the projector, and it’s slightly bigger than most projectors, so finding a case is difficult, but we were able to find one on another site which took 3 weeks to arrive. But don’t let this put you off, you won’t want to pack this little wonder away by then anyway :-)Seriously, stop looking for a projector, you just found the best one.

I have used a JVC D-ILA projector for many years and the quality has obviously been extremely high, it goes along with the price. However, I was looking to upgrade to Laser source rather than Bulb and had more or less decided to buy a Sony VPL-XW5000ES which is fairly state of the art, and comes in at roughly £5,000. Then on Prime Day I happened to see this XGIMI Horizon Ultra for sale at a bargain basement price of £1,399. It seemed to tick all the boxes and had some great reviews, so I bought in on impulse.And boy is it impressive! The projector starts almost instantly, is effectively silent, all the adjustments are electronic ie you don't need to touch the projector to change the focus, keystone, zoom etc. Some such as the focus are automated, and almost instant. It's just beautiful to watch it do its stuff. The proof of the pudding though is in the eating, and the picture does not disappoint. It is superb. If I was being superb picky I'd say the Sony probably has more subtlety in the picture, but then it costs 4x as much! If you connect up an Nvidia Shield and fire up Netflix with a 4k Dolby Vision source you will not be disappointed! It is so impressive.This won't be good enough to watch in a brightly lit sunny room, but few people want to do that with a projector. If you're watching a film with shades/blinds down, or in the evening, this will give you a luscious picture that will beat any TV hands down (yes, I have several LG OLEDs and their picture is better, but they're not 120 inches wide!)I won't comment on the sound, I doubt anyone is going to buy this and use the built in sound for anything other than exceptional circumstances.I can't overstate how impressive this is, it is a tiny little box compared to the leviathans that Sony and JVS produce. No doubt some will quibble that this is Pixel Shifting, not true 4k, but I can't for the life of me tell the difference. Basically the world has moved on, you don't need to spend £5k+ to get a decent projector, you can if you want, but honestly you'd be wasting your money.
