"Counter-Strike 7", Valve finally defeated their curse of "3" and more than doubled it!

[@gorebish7950]

I'm still dying from that 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@knarf427]

Lol 2yrs later, had to replay that a few times

[@Bensinkvitto]

Very good review. Really appreciate how you walk through menus and test playback from USB. Things that make your review stand out from the competitors out there. Keep up the good work!

[@nilloviz]

Nice review! Love the variety of the products you review

[@Techtablets]

Thanks I do try and mix it up a bit to keep it interesting

[@mohammadzein504]

The sharpness and contrast are amazing for a projector👌👌. It soo bright and vivid it really doesn't look like a projector image. Very nice Chris🙂👏👍👍

[@Renvaar1989]

I got their thin 1080p projector (was really cheap), the quality really impressed me.

[@elmalloc]

great

[@Ordinary_Peasant]

My wife's boyfriend loves these type of projectors!

[@FlitterNova]

Your wife's... boyfriend? Something doesn't add up here 🤣

[@Techtablets]

🤣😂

[@MothersMilk-1]

Our thoughts and prayers are with you 😐

[@secretnetizen]

Plot Twist: Wife's boyfriend and the husband are same person with different personas 😉

[@honomh]

What was the screen brand that you had in this video? Does it matter if you project it on the wall instead of screen?

[@lichkain]

Woah Valve really went for a different vibe with Counter-Strike 7

[@neilpearson2043]

Can anyone help me, I bought this projector yesterday as had the Mogo 2 Pro before it which was Bluetooth to my Amazon Echo Studio and was fantastic. But with the horizon pro, when I connect to my Echo Studio it just brings up the Xmusic app and that's it. It won't Bluetooth for anything else. There isn't even an option to uninstall the Xmusic app. I am about to send this back if I can't get it to Bluetooth to my Echo Studio.

[@zodiacfml]

amazing. did not know there are true 4k projectors already, the price though. you will be able to test 1080p at 240hz? it is capable according to DLP chip spec though the product might not support it. however, it is limited to 4k60 and the price is greater than LG's latest OLEDs. it will be a matter of portability or small size vs OLED image quality and 120Hz.

[@CantankerousDave]

That’s a very Sonos-looking design.

[@andrewfreeman88]

Mate, that's the legendary Final Fantasy VII

[@emperio1212]

Great review as always!

[@leajanney5623]

9:57 counter strike 7👀

[@joes8412]

Great review... I do like your style hombre... many other reviewers come across as kissing the vendors asses when they review products. You at least come across as truthful. I also have one of these devices... and for me because of the way i use it, and the fact i have to pack it away after every use, you have everything in ONE box, it's super easy to setup, the brightness is crazy good... this thing is awesome. For the money.... to get 100-110" which is the max space i have on the wall i use... and the fact i project onto an off white wall cannot be matched with a conventional TV. For a TV that big, i'd have to sell an organ to pay for it. Plus.. the tv would take up so much space... this baby goes back in it's bag (so the kids and cats) can't mess with it after use. Great buy! I'll soon be painting the wall i project onto with a light grey colour (steel grey 2 i've read is the way to go) to get better contrast definition. The wife just doesn't know it yet :) :)

[@cokakada1189]

Any ideas how to make room switching less annoying due to the fat powersupply-adapter? I switch rooms a lot to firm wall mounts and I wish I could firmly install/mount cables/power supply as well.. However I cant find separate power bricks to buy? Or what do I have to look for? Any 220 watt bricks?

[@michaelkelly1103]

Would you compare with Nebula Cosmos Plus allowing for the £300extra price tag ???

[@JackieCham]

9:56 I had to do a triple take on that one.

[@Snowboardjedi892]

Just purchase can’t wait!!

[@max2damax07]

Happy with it?

[@Snowboardjedi892]

@@max2damax07 immensely. The only issue I have is that my room has lots of ambient light I cannot easily control, which limits the time of day I can use it. That said, some sources (like KZbin and Prime Video) are visibly brighter than others, so it may not be an issue with the projector itself. Highly recommend. It was recently on a huge sale for Black Friday…not sure if that offer still stands, but it’s bargain even at full price.

[@JorgeCollO]

Could you add Netflix fixing tips in description? Thanks.

[@saneetpatel7954]

How does it work on racing games like Forza or NFS? Also do you notice any lag on halo or COD? Thanks

[@Gaijin101]

Counter Strike seems to be having extra good graphics :)

[@Techtablets]

🤣

[@kostasag.2520]

It's 7, so...that explains.... Nice review!

[@emperio1212]

I burst out laughing when he said cs7 :))

[@nolandderlugner1351]

This or lg presto?

[@roshangurung9157]

Thanks for the review on Xgimi Horizon Pro, I have ordered one from Amazon and I'm very excited to see the magic of it.

[@Techtablets]

Great projector enjoy!

[@esinach]

How did you find the projector in the end?

[@MrXyntec]

Is the increase in lumens noticeable compared to the H2 or even H3? I saw a video of comparison between H2 and H3 and didn't notice much where lumens increase was from 1350 to 1900, that made me not upgrade to the H3. Now doubting to upgrade my H2 to the Horizon or Horizon Pro. Don't play any 4k so probably the standard Horizon will do.

[@truthreignsforever9286]

Can I cast this on a wall of light paint? Or a lightly painted wall?

[@markemmerton5350]

Are the horizontal lines going upwards on the image there in real life or from the camera?

[@ITechATechChannel]

Nice review! Very well presented. How do you manage to make Netflix work on this? Could you give us steps you followed?

[@mhc8282]

Please post the steps you followed to make Netflix work. I own this projector and agree with everything in your review. Except I can’t get Netflix to work.

[@timstubbs6701]

He said in the review, don't download from Google play store as that doesn't work.

[@swyue951]

Dangbei Mars Pro Laser projector still a good selection for us,high lumens

[@mikkelthebencher]

How many inch will I get from 2.40 m. …?

[@bruno88]

Hey Chris! I'm having exactly the same freezing problem with KZbin on my Chromecast with Google TV. Ps: Where are you from? Me and my girlfriend were here trying to figure out hahaha

[@Xfade81]

From New Zealand, but he works from Spain.

[@James-zu1ij]

I have heard that making the picture smaller degrades the picture digitally?; is this true. I'm looking to get a 80inch picture from the back of the room. It has to be behind my chair.

[@Ottawa69]

can you use an android phone app to control the projector?

[@vanchinh1948]

Instead of starting at my cellphone screen, I set this up on my nightstand plug in my cell phone and some earphones and watch my shows on the ceiling

[@Bopperbopper1]

Nubela comos 4k u review which one is better?

[@shintyk47]

Which is best? viewsonic x10-4k or xgimi horizon?

[@naveen4nse]

I would like to buy this for the basement. I looked at the aura also and the horizon pro. With the horizon how far do I have to put it from the wall if I want a 120 or 150 inch display? Do I keep it on a coffee table like in the middle of the room. Where we sit ???

[@sevengreen6411]

I think XGIMI projectors have auto keystone to adjust trapezium projection into nomal rectangular images, so you dont need to put the projector in front of you. You can put it beside the sofa on a tripod.

[@izzieb]

Honestly, the normal KZbin Android app is pretty buggy and temperamental - so it is most probably the Android TV KZbin App.

[@Techtablets]

Yeah maybe so as it did work for those squirrel and bird clips at 4k no issues.

[@truthreignsforever9286]

Would one be able to tell the difference in picture quality in a XGIMI lune A2 PRO MSTAR compared to this?

[@budgetking2591]

price has dropped to below 1000 euro these days, its getting interesting.

[@Willsalmon96]

Will this be okay with a white wall as I don’t own my home

[@Mojothepyrut]

Having trouble connecting ps4 keeps flashing up hdmi but wont load screen ,help

[@661godislove7]

Can you Bluetooth a speaker to it?

[@hongjiang59]

I got this XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K last year, but the Bluetooth connection with my JBL speaker or sony headphone quality is not good, the sound has some funny noise.

[@ffdv7458]

what's with the moving horizontal lines ?

[@angryhornet91]

Does it have short throw and game mode capability?

[@kayodefashola9226]

What projector screen are you using? and what would you recommend?

[@Techtablets]

Just a generic one from Amazon it's okay but the edges curve in

[@rocker02453]

I purchased this and had problems with Netflix. It won’t play…how did you get it to work? I’ve read other reviews that had the same problem. Any detailed instructions you can pass along? Thanks Very Much!

[@Worldissmall2023]

Use Fire-stick

[@stuarttalksstuff57]

hi there in your opinion is this a better choice than the anger nebula cosmos max about to buy my first projector thanks stu from uk

[@Techtablets]

Hello I think it is, I'm really impressed with this projector quality and the fan noise is very good.

[@stuarttalksstuff57]

Thankypu

Is there any chance to check LAN throughput? Is it 100Mb or 1Gb?

[@sohaibbhl6884]

Doesn't it have a battery??

[@Techtablets]

No battery no

[@vinceywinceyspider]

Hi does this do 3d sbs or 2d to 3d. Do you know the contrast ratio

[@urvesh0607]

Does it have 3D view? Company says Yes but in amazon couple of customers mentioned it does not.please reply. Thank you

[@Techtablets]

I think it needs the latest firmware for 3D support I no longer have it to check sorry

[@urvesh0607]

@@Techtablets Tried everything but still 3D viewing is not there. None of them reviewed in KZbin.

[@LetBBB6345789]

Regarding copy right issues, should it not be possible to show trailers of movies? Those are uploaded and reuploaded all over and it even is in the best interest of the movie companies if they get shared.

[@vuamattroi]

How compare to Projector Viewsonic X10-4K+ ? I think the viewsonic offer better specifications

[@Techtablets]

On paper the ViewSonic looks a bit better but I haven't tested that one sorry so unsure.

[@vuamattroi]

@@Techtablets genuinely helpful, thank so much

[@al7aker]

what a size" of your screen?

[@tinashezimunya2288]

Nice review bro do a Epson ef 12 review 🙏🏽please

How is it as compared to a same spec Benq Projector?

[@Techtablets]

Very good but the BenQ has louder fans

[@Captain2115]

Please confirm Netflix works on this projector

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Counter Strike 7 is as impressive as the projector or Chris' beard should he grow one!

[@andrewfreeman88]

It was Final fantasy 7

[@trad4097]

Does this projector power adapter get hot like 42C after as little 30 minutes usage ?

[@Techtablets]

Hi it does get warm/hot but it's normal it's 200W it will use and the PSU is 220W but I've been running it for days no issues.

[@trad4097]

I mean the power adapter , I wondered does all projector power adapter always like this get warmer than human temperature. For reference, I have a < 159 usd projector 60W power adapter get very hot 42C just under 30 minutes of use

[@ov3rkill]

Counter-Strike VII is the best game of all time.

[@ericksantos-nw6cj]

Best decision you'll make.

[@MrEmiinem93]

No one is going to talk about the Counter Strike 7 at 9:55

[@royboyll]

hi can the picture be inverted so you can sealing mounted

[@bloobat]

Great review, this or a 77 inch oled? Finding it hard to decide tbh

[@notorious.nip.888]

I think i’m going crazy here is the audio out of sync coz cs 7 is not matching with final fantasy

[@S3MKi]

For this price better to buy UST laser projector from Xiaomi-Mijia.

[@kanestummvoll6327]

Can anyone else notice the black lines scrolling up the screen on some images?!

[@turkimax1]

⚠️ I'm really very surprised, as I have XGIMI H2 Aurora and yet it has better features such as USB 3 port, Subwoofer, automatic lens cover... and and and... Although, Horizon Pro is newer model, none of mentioned are in...❗

[@yuujinbak3568]

Bang for the bucks...

[@marinoint]

LED projector need to match with a grey screen, not white.

[@Theninjagecko]

Harman hard on.

[@robertrariga7199]

this projector has a problem connecting to iMAC via HDMI 2.0 !!!

[@rkille]

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 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."

[@Techtablets]

Oh what. Now I had no idea about that I thought it could be replaced. That is terrible, I've loved this comment so others can see it. Thanks for letting us know.

[@Rolando0801]

Why? Does your projector breakdown after one year? Mine is 2 years going now.

[@Brenners2010]

​@@Techtablets Do you know if there's any way for the bulb to be replaced if this happens in the future?

[@peterfelstead1170]

Its an LED projector. Bulb last 25000 hrs or roughly 3yrs of continuous 24hr use

[@Willsalmon96]

This good portable one

[@ElectroSwingable]

Nice one

[@dp12776]

Is there an ARC channel on this? If i wanted to use home cinema instead of the built in speakers? Also, does it run Plex?

[@peterwang7123]

It support ARC, it can be used to build your home theatre as a projector and it can run Plex.

[@Rolando0801]

It does actually support eARC. I hve one.

Wow counter strike has changed a lot

[@Litu_ck]

[@sssreggiN]

Counter strike seven huh?

[@francruz5824]

I thought horizon pro 4K is black. That is Horizon, period.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

Your right, from what I can gather the standard horizon 1080 is better for most people sinch most content is not 4k, its also £500 cheaper than the pro.
