I am now wondering if I should have waited and just gone with this Xgimi? I’m coming from a Sony VPLHW40es which is great for movies and gaming but is only 1080p. Any advice on better choices would be amazing. Thanks

TI does have a native DLP 4K chip DMD, but oly pro cinema valid, not average joe purchaseable. the highest as I recall is 2500x1600.. Its a shame XGIMI does this lumens race, and pollutes their picture just to front high ANSI numbers... that green pollution on soem of their projectors is almost tragicomic how extreme is it.(unuseable) and Vincent is right, its more like cut these claims in half or with 1/3, before it looks good.

@@nSpiraliArchitectb So much “use case” and personal preference plays into it, which is why for example I like these types of reviews, as they are more about the “data” and if you know how what is talked about effects you, then you can sort of get a good idea and what you would think of using them yourself. With that said, the XGIMI doesn’t really fit in as well with the USTs I mentioned due to it not being a UST and also, it’s a more consumer projector and is market differently. The XGIMI is fantastic for a portable projector…we used it in our 145” outdoor screen for example and it’s wonderful for that, but does need it to be pretty dark. For the $1550 that it goes on sale for, it’s a fantastic option, but not for a dedicated theater room. There where I tested the L9G, v7050i, and LSP9T and I like them in that order. The LSP9T had too much laser speckle, too strong of a red laser for calibration and too much CA (probably because of that more extreme angle that image is projected.). The v7050i image is really nice and “cinematic” out of the box. I wished it were a little brighter and that the hardware and software was a little less “clunky.” The L9G I’ve had for a few weeks now and it basically is a refined LSP9T IMO, even with the smaller chip. I totally understand the compromises with USTs, so I had to pick the one that I thought was the best right now…I can’t fit a normal projector in my room or else’s I’d have a NZ8 on order. I was one of the first to back the Vava Chroma too, so I’ll see how that is, but that will be in my living room in my studio, so I’m not as concerned about that as the others that were tested in my dedicated theater room. L9G is MY recommendation, with the Horizon Pro and a fun little addition to a family to be used in all sorts of areas…it’s really great for an all-in-one.
