HORIZON Pro

It is everything I wanted, a replacement for my Mogo Pro which served me exceptionally well.

Good deal

I'm new to this field but have been into tech for many years, just never bothered with projectors till now. I looked at many different models and was prepared to spend 4 thousand pounds if needed, it was mind blowing trying to decide! Then I thought I would use my experience in buying tech and go for this being on offer at the time and middle of the price range, thinking I would return if not good and learn something to maybe help me later on. Wow wow wow...is all I will say.....if you aren't happy with this projector you will not be happy with anything! It is astonishing the quality you can get for the money, I didn't get a fancy ALR (1 grand plus) screen either. I used my own judgement and bought 1 for £130, not a cheap polyester cloth (bed sheet) lol. IMy common sense was telling me they wouldn't be any good! I cannot promote this projector enough, why spend a lot more to get abit better, if you haven't learned by now VFM is what it's all about and this is the king of it! Hope this helps someone to make a great purchase 👍

I have the Xgimi Elfin, as a first stab at home theatre and I love it, but it was time to see what could really be done with an upgrade to 4K and a much brighter projector. I have not been disappointed, easy setup, software is even better (and it was extremely good on the Elfin). If you have android, setup is very easy and pretty much automatic if you scan an on screen QR and accept a few prompts.Picture Quality is fantastic HD, 4K etc.. is good, it must upscale the HD very well because it looks even better than on the native HD Elfin. The Elfin was quiet but the Horizon Pro is near silent. I had considered the Nebula Cosmos, but am so pleased I went for this. The other reason was the 1.21 throw, which means I could get a nice large image (100") in the same place I had the Elfin. The Nebula cosmos would have only produced am 88" image with it's longer throw.I haven't tried the sound because I actually use a soundbar on the floor so the sound is coming from the same place as the image...Some tips...get the Xgimi dongle, in the deal I had it was included free....powered from the Xgimis USB port and set up so the dongle can be controlled via the HDMI allows you to control the dongle from the main Xgimi remote! The dongle has, or can have installed, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney etc.. etc.. on it. By connecting it in the way described, the projector will boot, then the dongle boots and it auto flips to the dongle...After that the experience is seamless. (and the dongle remote can be stored in a draw).If you don't want to shell out for the dongle, then you will have to run the web version of netflix using "Desktop Manager" to install it.The advantage of the dongle I also believe is better motion, as the you're offloading that processing from the projector and can use weak motion smoothing on the projector settings, rather than medium for better quality.If you are controlling the dongle with the remote, pressing the gear symbol on the remote will take you to the projector settings, not dongle settings...then you simply change source back to the dongle.AN IMPORTANT TIP: if you have smart plugs and other devices that use the 2.4 GHz band and your router is serving both 2.4 and 5GHz...give each band different passwords! This will prevent the projector and/or dongle from using the must slower 2.4, if the signal is not very strong. My router is on the ground floor and I am in the opposite end of the house on the 2nd floor (signal says fair). By doing this, I'm guaranteed to get over 111mbps, with no fall back to the much slower 2.4 GHz. Update: I now have a mesh system installed for WiFi and things are even better.It's LED and DLP, very colour accurate and I like DLP because of the extremely good 3D capability, plus the fully enclosed light path, so not dust concerned. Just keep the grills vacuumed once per month, especially if you have a cat. This keeps it running nice n cool.This is not a paid or shill review, get it, you will absolutely not be disappointed. Amazing projector.

I am continually blown away with the picture quality of the projector. When you watch a film on this it is just like being at the cinema. The detail is stunning with every hair and pore on someone's skin as clear as in real life. I can't see how a more expensive machine could do much better. The sound is great from the built in speakers but I've got mine connected to a surround sound system and it's amazing . Set up is a doddle with auto keystone and auto focus. The only little niggle is Netflix doesn't work from the projector some sort of license issue I think but my blue Ray player has Netflix so I play it through that or you could use a firestick. All in all amazing
