Better than a TV? | The XGIMI 4K Horizon Pro just might be!

Where do you have the projector positioned? Was it challenging to hook up a sound system, ie- cords all over the place? It's why I would consider an ultra short throw projector, so that there aren't cords leading from a rear projector to front of the room. I can't put them in the walls.

Terrible review as you failed to mention that this projector does not have a bulb replacement and is a useless paperweight after the 1 year warranty expires. Official response from XGIMI when I asked about a replacing my bulb. "Hey, this is Georgina from XGIMI tech support department, it will be a pleasure to assist you today regarding your concern. We do not sell nor suggest changing the bulb on a XGIMI projector. We can gladly check if your device is still within our 1-year warranty and provide a replacement if applicable."

[@sturmx96]

It doesn’t have a bulb, it’s a led projector.

[@prettyfly6750]

Many people will disagree but for me bigger is better. I would choose a bigger screen over a better definition anytime. I don't own a TV for years and my main media display is a projector. It's flat on the wall, can adapt to many room, easy to transport and much cheaper than any TV of the same screen size.

I bought this product 2 months ago. It had two white dots and I asked the support team and they told me that these were missing pixels. They knew the problem right away. From my research, I know that the missing pixels won't go away and its number could continuously grow. The xgimi support team told me that I should pay for the return shipping fee. Wow. The product was defective from the first place and I have to pay for the shipping fee of &18? It's not a matter of the amount of shipping fee. It's a responsibility matter. The manufacturer who produced this defective product should be responsible for its after-care. I used this product very carefully and it gave me the missing pixels problem. How much more should I babysit this product to not have this kind of problem? I will never buy their product ever again.

Plagiarism of the Epson EF-12 for double the price and half the quality. The difference is that the Epson is a 3 LCD projector with Laser beam! Oh and the sound is tailor made by Yamaha, who is the provider of many Cinemas. therefore no "Green tone" on the light beam.

[@captaincrunch5201]

Yeah I was looking at this Epson and lack of zoom was the deal-breaker for me. Without zoom you have to move the entire projector around to get the screen size you want. XGIMI allows place it where u want the zoom in/out for your screen size. Could be a short throw situation for example.

[@jenserikbech]

@@captaincrunch5201 This is a very thin argument. My EF-12 is 3 meters from my wall. I have a picture that is 135". It has auto vertical and horisonthal. Justment. You can shoot in any direction and the picture will adjust rock solid. You cannot go close to the wall without a fish-eye lens. I don't understand your argument. Do you know the power of a laser compared to a LED! When I watched KZbin I thought that Mr. Rosen was in the same room as me!! This picture places persons in the same room as you watching. That is color accuracy.

[@raphaeldelaghetto85]

I really enjoy this channel’s reviews. Big part of why I picked up this projector. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase, but there are 2 cons I haven’t seen any KZbin reviewers mention: #1 There’s an annoying light bleed issue if you use the virtual Zoom, so I would recommend using it modestly or not at all. #2 If you’re using an external sound system via HDMI ARC, you’ll need to go into the sound settings and select ARC every time you use it. Otherwise the sound will default to the internal speakers. This was particularly annoying b/c the only way to access the Sound Output setting is to hold the settings shortcut button on the remote. For some reason, it’s not accessible if you navigate to settings via the onscreen menu.

[@badbradmx]

Do you plug the projector in every time or is this permanently plugged in? Wonder if it resets the settings on a power cycle or not and if that is the cause of your issue
