If you’re on the hunt for a high-quality home theater projector with solid image quality, you can currently get an open-box XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector on Woot for 55% off. With impressive visuals and sound (according to PCMag), this is one of the top projectors on the market. It’s a big step up from entry-level, pocket-sized projectors, making it a better choice for videophiles looking to replace a physical screen.
Weighing around 6.4 lbs, the XGIMI is powerful but lightweight. It delivers sharp 4k resolution with XPR pixel shifting, full HD 3D support, and 1500 ISO Lumens. According to PCMag, the colors are reasonably accurate and well-saturated, with strong contrast in brightly lit scenes. However, darker scenes and shadowed parts of a bright scene may lose some shadow detail.
The projector lacks optical zoom (only digital, which can reduce brightness), so you’ll need to manually adjust the position to fit your screen. Otherwise, it’s a quick and easy setup with auto-adjust features like auto keystone (vertical and horizontal), intelligent obstacle avoidance, screen alignment, auto-focus, and more. Its LED light source is designed to last throughout the projector’s lifetime, and the integrated Android TV with Chromecast makes streaming easy on any Apple or Android device. However, you’ll have to use an external streaming device to access Netflix.
There are several predefined picture modes to fine-tune colors; PCMag testers found that Office mode had the best balance of color accuracy, contrast, and shadow detail. Switching to Game mode (enabled by HDMI input) allows for lower input lag at 60Hz, making it ideal for casual gameplay. The built-in audio with two eight-watt Harman Kardon speakers also earns praise from testers and reviewers for sufficiently filling a large family room despite the projector’s small size. You can also connect an external audio system, if desired.
If you’re a home entertainment buff who wants a compact projector with outstanding bright scenes and can live with a bit of lost shadow detail, this open-box XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector is a great buy at 55% off its list price.
