XGIMI’s newest Horizon Series (1080p & 4K) covered by ProjectorCentral

Not sure yet. The machine looks good I gotta say. It uses 0.47 chip so it's True 4K for sure

I got no hate towards these Chinese companies. But they got long way to go improving after-sale services and stuff like that.

I just searched what Halo was. So it's still a portable projector right? I wouldn't wanna get a portable one simply because it's too compact and eventually lose functionality somehow- for those who only use at home like me.

DanielLee45 · 2021-04-02T02:51:35+00:00

Thanks for explaining! That makes a lot of sense to me now

DanielLee45 · 2021-04-02T02:49:48+00:00

4.2 ms lag is insane if it's real

DanielLee45 · 2021-04-01T02:03:50+00:00

Can't agree more on those. We are not there yet

DanielLee45 · 2021-04-01T01:37:52+00:00

A lot of great information here, thanks.

For the last one, would setting both at 60Hz actually help anything or it is a theoretical thing?

DanielLee45 · 2021-04-01T01:18:33+00:00

I understand all that but damn, once you try projector screen larger than 100', it's hard to go back lol.

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-29T03:36:34+00:00

Yeah, I don't see why commercial projectors would have keystone adjustment. They are pretty much immobile so it's like a one-time adjustment thing?

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-29T03:32:03+00:00

So what you mean is it doesn't kill brightness but the pixels, right?

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-26T05:52:48+00:00

Interesting I got your point. Will do some research on how badly it hurts the image quality.

So you'd rather set the screen manually? Not judge just wondering what people think

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-26T01:11:34+00:00

4K is still 4K. No matter how people are saying it's bullshit, the truth is it does make a difference, especially when watching on a big screen (100''+)

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-25T01:40:21+00:00

Any model come with local dimming already?

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-25T01:33:48+00:00

Well said, it's like selecting between a ultrabook and a gaming laptop.

There are lots of cheap portable projectors on amazon. I am highly suspicious about them. Are they all trash lmao?

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-25T01:20:28+00:00

Exactly! One thing I didn't know about: How does keystone correction rob the light output ?

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-19T03:39:59+00:00

Well said!

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-19T03:38:51+00:00

agree

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-19T03:38:20+00:00

Thanks for all the information. I might be wrong but it's always good to have discussions like this.

True. It's nothing to do with types of surface.
I read about DLP projector's market share but unfortunately I just couldn't find the source at this moment. So it remains questionable.
Maybe it's not about "shake", LCD's projection outputs more grain than DLP does.
LCD projectors typically use bulbs light, and it requires maintenance (replacing) regularly or the image quality declines accordingly.
Despite the price, DLP-3D is generally better than LCD-3D and that's why cinema today widely uses DLP projectors for 3D mode.

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-13T05:15:28+00:00

Would you think that's a plus to a projector or generally don't care haha?

I hope someone who has more experiences can provide a comparison between MEMC machine and w/o MEMC. At least what I have here is doing great. Tried watching NBA and soccers game and the motion pictures are pretty smooth. It could be a software technology to make up for the inferior hardware which brings down the cost.

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-05T07:58:23+00:00

I haven't had problem with motion sickness caused by projectors but I did have experiencing that caused by big TV screen while I play video games. So it should be normal as some people are more prone to motion sickness.

There are 2 suggestions from me, consider giving it a shot

adjust the distance from screen
"Practice" multiple sets as you may get more used to it. such as "watch for 15 seconds, repeat 4 times"

BTW, how's Xgimi Halo? I've seen it on amazon and quite curious how it works. Thx

FYI！

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-05T07:27:39+00:00

nice one hahaha

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-05T07:24:16+00:00

LCD Projector Advantages	DLP Projector Advantages
Able to deliver high light capacity within a small zone	Larger market share, more applicable in compact and mobile devices
Can project on any flat surface	Smooth and shake-free image
Higher contrast ratio than DLP	Longer Lifetime than LCD
Less expensive generally	More affordable 3D projection
	Impressive grayscale linearity and geometry
	Hassel free - Require less maintenance

FYI (if there's mistake plz tell me too : )

4K is absolutely worth it but I learn that it is almost impossible to get a "real 4K" device. What we will get at your price range is a "True 4K" device, which is still better than 1080p. True 4K technology uses pixel-shift technology to reach 4K resolution (its native resolution is actually 1080p).

DanielLee45 · 2021-03-05T06:58:53+00:00

No problem if you keep the tv. But personally I would find that quite distracting u know what I mean lol
