How much would you rate it for gaming

[@carlabarisone8401]

Does anyone know if you can plug a microphone into this and use it for Kareoke?

[@SFBenjaminK]

WHO buys HD/1080P these days anyways ..I would definitely get 4K, BUT, i bought XGIMI AURA month ago & lovin it , is more expensive i use it as Living room TV with 120" ALR screen...This one is really nice 2 ..u can just grab & go

[@APTechs]

Price was a factor when deciding to buy this projector but I agree with you, 4K is the way to go if money is not an issue.

[@futureprodigy9610]

Considering its a monitor, the brightness and video quality is amazing. Lives up to its price.

[@luck8999]

your review was a lot more hands on than any of the others I can find. it even actually showed daytime scenarios. thanks 😁

[@APTechs]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad I covered that point.

Is Great product but the price wow very expensive!!

[@APTechs]

It’s worth it

[@bmwowner1853]

Great projector

[@APTechs]

Thanks 🙏

[@thehaguy]

Very nice review man!

[@APTechs]

Thanks

[@pascal590]

I’m confused why the title says horizon pro 4k but you’re reviewing the regular horizon 1080p? Totally different model. Very misleading.

[@alphathinking5367]

The price is 🚀 but nice review though.

[@APTechs]

Thanks

[@pashok75]

Horizon pro 2 is crazy sharp. Just want to know whether white or grey screen is good to get the full potential of this projector

[@APTechs]

I was not aware of Horizon Pro 2, this is horizon pro and it only comes with one colour space grey. It’s insanely sharp and great picture quality.

[@pashok75]

@@APTechs I was asking about the projector screen. The projector is xgimi horizon pro 4k.

[@APTechs]

Tbh screen colours does not matter, but I would chose white because it’s my preference. Vivid storm has the best screens.

[@pashok75]

@@APTechs thank you

[@timbaker4879]

I have the non 4K model - though this supports 4K with the same chipset. Watching Marvel movies on Disney+ is superb, you need decent WiFi though, I personally use Ethernet. I use Sonos and this works well with the arc hdmi socket. Excellent video btw.

[@APTechs]

Hi Tim, agreed with your comment and I have also tried using chrome cast for Netflix since it’s not natively supported. It’s exceptionally amazing quality in upscaling to 4K. 👍

[@timbaker4879]

Yes, I managed to get my Netflix account working through "desktop manager," the picture is better than my Sony x90j on Netfix and Disney+ which is quite a bold statement.

[@KeyvanAsheghi-ns2rf]

Could you please explain more about how did you connect your XGIMI to the SONOS?

[@iBrighty]

What is the minimum distance and recommended distance from the wall? Great review

[@APTechs]

It depends on what size you want it to display. For example I am using 300 inch which is the maximum so it’s about 3 meter distance from the wall. Hope this helps.

[@iBrighty]

@@APTechs thanks man, my man cave is 3m x 3m so I'm hoping for a decent size from 3m away

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

I ordered the Horizon Pro last week, I can't wait to get it. Android TV 10, 2200 lu, 4K, compact design: I love it! (a tv tuner would be brilliant but I guess you can't have it all)

[@APTechs]

It’s brilliant piece of kit. Enjoy!

[@TankMAIN877]

@@APTechs I notice some flickering in the video. Do you know if these projectors use PWM ?

[@APTechs]

The flicker is from the camera and not the projector.

[@thehaguy]

Maybe a few more words about the speakers?

[@APTechs]

The speakers are great and well known brand so that’s why we didn’t go in detail. Thanks for the suggestion though 👍

[@asianboss6355]

Hello! I know that this review is a year old, but i am hoping that you would like to answer anyways. What are the settings, picture profile, brightness, color etc. in this review? :)

[@APTechs]

Hi, this was the cinema mode I think if I am not mistaking. It might not be exactly how you want it because I have colour graded and KZbin compression may alter slightly the image. So there are so many factors to consider. If you watch it on cinema or standard, you should get a good result.

[@mariocamara7552]

1080 or 4k?

[@APTechs]

This horizon comes in both 1080P and 4K. Video examples are 1080P so expect a lot more detail on 4K model

[@mariocamara7552]

[@Nipponjaponya]

There is light trail above and below the curtain. how do you adjust it.. the image is on the screen 16-9 but there is light at the top and bottom

[@APTechs]

The ambient lights are something I have added to create till & orange look. If you want to adjust image or aspect ratio, then you can turn it the light etc. hope this helps.

[@Nipponjaponya]

[@luiskywalkerful]

Could you confirm if this model support hdr? The model pro worth the extra 400 bucks ?

[@APTechs]

Yes it supports HDR10 and is it worth upgrading. This depends on your setup and preferences to be honest. If you have the extra, I would go for the pro. There are currently on Amazon promotions.

[@AliBaba-xe5fq]

Which one is better Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K or Dangbei mars pro 4k and why?

[@APTechs]

Dangbei is new in the market and I have not had opportunity to review it. From the specs it does have some promising features so it would be interesting to see side by side.

[@gc1775]

Review the elfin please

[@angc1456]

not real 4k panel?

[@luiskywalkerful]

Good job with this video. Mainly in the demonstration of the projector in ambient light. It was my big question. A comparison with the 4k version would be interesting.

[@APTechs]

Thank Luis. XGIMI Horizon vs Nebula Cosmos 4K Laser projector is coming soon.

[@AkshayPlaysss]

Hey brother are you using it right now ? I am thinking to buy this .. do u recommend it in 2024 ? Ur reply will be appreciated👏

[@APTechs]

Hi I no longer own this projector but yes it is one of the best projectors out there. Just keep in mind Netflix does not work natively so you will have to download through third party sites.

[@AkshayPlaysss]

@@APTechs thank you bro and just curious r u using any other projector right now ..😮

[@APTechs]

@AkshayPlaysss my main driver is NOMVDIC P2000 UST projector paired with 100” ALR screen. This setup cost around $4,000. Are you planning to replace your TV? If not, would suggest something cheaper like Horizon Pro or Nebula Cosmos. I’m currently reviewing Dess C5 Enterprise which is not out yet. This projector is great budget 1080p priced under $500 with all the top notch features. Hold fire if you can until you have seen the C5.

[@AkshayPlaysss]

@@APTechs ur replies are much appreciated bro i just want to watch movies on it thats all and do casual gaming is it ok for that or should i wait ?🙏

[@APTechs]

@AkshayPlaysss In that case, I would suggest XGIMI horizon pro and with Amazon prime deals, it’s going for 42% discount. I have updated the link on the description.

[@Mojothepyrut]

Friend got top of range one and we can’t connect to Netflix , rang Netflix they said ring horizon , horizon said ring Netflix ?? Wos thé deal paid 2k for easy set up and no joy ?? Any help please

[@APTechs]

There are bypass option with third party apps so you can watch Netflix. If you search here on KZbin you will find it.

[@Mojothepyrut]

@@APTechs many thanks we will try that

[@ps_83]

@@Mojothepyrutjust use a Roku or firestick. How do you like it so far?

[@lanawhite8893]

Dear AP Tech, thank for your review, very helpful! Did you do comparison video on Horizon and Horizon Pro? I would like to know is it worth it to spend extra £400 for Pro 4K? I read reviews where some people say that the picture quality of the Pro 4k is the same as on the Horizon 1080p. I would like to hear it from you? Or maybe you could recommend me the better portable projector than this one? I would be very grateful!!! I need it only for on-line movies connected to Mac.

[@APTechs]

XGIMI horizon is great and the pro is much better. Another projector to consider is nebula cosmos laser 4K projector. I have done a comparison video on this channel. The XGIMI horizon pro is my ultimate favourite.

[@lanawhite8893]

@@APTechs Thank you so much for finding time to reply! Yes, I like the Nebula too because it's Laser source, but it is very heavy to travel with, this is the only reason why I'm not consider it. Even the XGIMI is heavy, but it is half of the weight of the Nebula. If it was a short trip, I would buy Wemax Go Advanced 300 for travel, but I am away for 2-4 month, therefor I need good picture quality projector. Wemax is only 600Lm, not good enough for movies. SO, if you are saying that XGIMI Pro is brighter, then I will go for it. There are more 4K movies coming out. Thank again. I will look at your other videos. Love & LIght!

[@APTechs]

It depends what is the main reason of purchasing a projector. Unfortunately Wemax go is not as bright or powerful as XGIMI. If compact and budget friend is the objective, then consider Wemax Dice and AAXA P4 projector. They are both small and bright enough.

[@lanawhite8893]

@@APTechs I can't thank you enough for your time! God Bless you! I really appreciate your advice, I will look at this projectors! The money is not an issue, Quality is the most important as I use projector for 6-8 hours daily. I started to have a problem with my eyes, therefor I use projector, not only for watching movies, but for reading e-books and research too, because the light is much softer on the yes. I just wanted to find one projector which I could use for traveling and at home. But, the best ones are too heavy, large and expensive. I will wait till Christmas, Hope that price for XGIMI Pro will drop?

This projector gets the job done pretty well. kzbin.infoUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
