Xgimi has renewed its Horizon home projector range with three new models: the Horizon 20, Horizon 20 Pro and Horizon 20 Max. They share the same comprehensive technical base and high-level projection performance, but differ in terms of enhanced features to meet specific needs. Brightness, power and precision: each model is a step up from the next. Here’s an overview of the range to understand how these three projectors fit together.
Horizon 20: an efficient, versatile 4K laser projector
The Horizon 20 is the most affordable model in the new Xgimi series, while already offering solid performance. It offers an ultra-high-definition 4K picture, with rich colors and sharp contrast thanks to triple laser technology and compatibility with the latest HDR formats (HDR10+, Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced).
With its 3,200 lumens, it’s ideal for rooms with low to medium lighting levels. It adapts to all projection configurations, whether on the wall or the ceiling, and automatically adjusts the image according to its position and any obstacles.
The Horizon 20 isn’t just designed for watching movies or series, it’s also an excellent option for gamers. Thanks to its low latency (1ms in 1080p at 240Hz), it offers a smooth experience for fast-paced gaming, with excellent responsiveness. RGB laser technology ensures rich colors and high contrast, even in the darkest video game scenes.
Designed for simple, everyday use, it starts up quickly, connects easily (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth), and offers integrated sound from Harman/Kardon. The Horizon 20 is ideal for those who want to enjoy movies, TV series or video games in excellent conditions, without complex settings.
Horizon 20 Pro: higher brightness for an even sharper picture
The Pro model takes the essentials of the Horizon 20, but pushes them a notch further in terms of performance. Its higher brightness (4,100 lumens) ensures a clear picture even during the day or in a room with natural light.
It retains all the advantages of the standard version: 4K picture, extended HDR compatibility, automatic adjustments and a smooth Google TV system. In use, this translates into a more comfortable experience, especially if you often watch content in a bright living room.
The Horizon 20 Pro also takes the gaming experience a step further. Its increased brightness (4,100 lumens) lets you play your favorite games, even in well-lit rooms. It maintains a low input delay of 1ms, perfect for impeccable responsiveness. Its gaming mode and MEMC (Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation) technology guarantee crisp, smooth, judder-free images for an immersive experience.
The Horizon 20 Pro is therefore aimed at users looking for a more powerful solution, without complicating the installation or sacrificing ease of use.
Horizon 20 Max: the top-of-the-range version for all projection conditions
The Horizon 20 Max is the most powerful model in the range. With a brightness of 5,700 lumens, it delivers a picture that’s perfectly visible in almost all lighting conditions, even in broad daylight.
It’s the ideal projector for large rooms, demanding installations or users who want to completely replace their TV with a high-end home theater solution. All the automatic features are there: image correction, focus, obstacle management. The picture adjusts itself, without any intervention from the user.
The Horizon 20 Max is also the ultimate choice for gamers looking for top performance. With a brightness of 5,700 lumens and a latency of just 1ms in 1080p at 240Hz, it offers an extremely responsive display, ideal for competitive gaming. This model will let you enjoy an immersive experience with dynamic 4K graphics, even in daylight, for uncompromising gaming sessions.
It retains a compact format, with the same Harman/Kardon sound and connectivity options. The Horizon 20 Max combines power, comfort and simplicity for an uncompromising home theater experience.
