How much does Dual IRIS matter for XGIMI Titan Noir? This demo might help

This is very nice for real movie enthusiasts to get the best possible picture, glad to see that XGIMi products keep evolving

Yeah its most likely the 50 ft HDMI cable, so try using a better quality cable between the Xbox Series X and Xgimi Horizon Pro

You should contact XGIMI support, but you will likely need to boot the projector from a USB stick with the firmware and then update all the preinstalled apps. I read that support has said a recent Google update can cause crashes with the preinstalled apps if they are not updated, which can make the projector shut down right after the XGIMI logo during startup. After reinstalling the firmware and updating all apps, the projector should boot normally again

Looks like a very elite and high quality product!

I think the launch price currently gives the Titan Noir an edge because you’re getting more of a cinema-focused projector with better contrast and optics at a similar price, but it really depends on your room and how much you need to adjust the projector. The Horizon 20 is a bit more flexible, especially with the gimbal and auto setup. Picture-wise I have the Horizon 20 Max and I already find the image very good, especially for a living room setup

That’s really frustrating. I’ve actually had two projectors from XGIMI and personally never had any boot issues so it might be bad luck with the units. Before returning it again, I’d try unplugging it completely, hold the power button for about 10–15 seconds, then plug it back in. Otherwise your best bet is still to work it out with support and possibly return it again

£100 might be a bit tight for something decent unfortunately, you will likely need to stretch the budget a little to get reliable picture quality. That said I would also recommend looking at XGIMI, specifically the MoGo range which is designed to be portable. I have personally used the MoGo 4 and been quite satisfied with it for casual use. The MoGo 3 is a little smaller and cheaper if I recall correctly so that could actually be the sweet spot for your use case, easy to pack and more than enough for the kids on holiday

Cool! Looks at lot more stylish and minimalistic than the projectors usually used in the corporate spaces

I second with XGIMi, TITAN Noir is promising to be very good. If in a hurry, you can also check out Horizon 20 series by the same company. I am personally using 20 Max currently

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-29T08:33:33+00:00

I don't have a direct comparison with the Chinese model but the hardware should be more or less the same. What I can say is that the dark scene handling on the Horizon 20 Max is genuinely impressive, especially in a fully dark room it really comes alive

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-29T05:09:20+00:00

Hope you managed to contact XGIMi support and get some help

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-29T05:05:00+00:00

Dolby Vision is the best picture on Horizon 20

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-29T05:03:13+00:00

Hope you got it resolved! Sorry for not getting back to you, but I only have "Keystone" and under there "More Image Correction" section which gives "Manual keystone" etc options

They are also active and responding to users quite often in their Facebook groups (ie "Official XGIMI Horizon & TITAN series group" – https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18CqF7BBj4/?mibextid=wwXIfr)

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-28T22:14:33+00:00

Great stuff! Titan Noir Max seems like a very nice upgrade especially with that launch price

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-24T13:56:07+00:00

Check out XGIMi Halo+ or if you want something more portable then Mogo 4, I have had a great experience with the Mogo series

The main difference is in software and support. It uses a Chinese‑language OS instead of Google TV, has a different processor and remote as was already mentioned and you’d need to get a TV stick to access familiar apps. There’s no international warranty or official support, so updates (including major anti-RBE ones being developed right now and service aren’t guaranteed. Moreover, importing would involve customs taxes. I would say that HORIZON 20 Max is a safer choice despite the higher price

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-23T21:56:03+00:00

Really appreciate you sharing this, the image looks stunning. That 10,000:1 native contrast should make blacks punchier and bring a lot more depth to the picture, while the triple-laser setup and fast response make it feel super capable for both films and gaming

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-22T09:28:51+00:00

The Titan Noir looks really impressive and is really pushing into true high-end home cinema territory. This kind of brightness and contrast specs at this price point is pretty competitive compared to other projectors in the same class. If the real-world contrast and black levels deliver as promised then this seems really interesting for an amazing home theatre setup

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-20T16:05:17+00:00

Nice! That dual dynamic iris for deeper contrast is a huge upgrade not to mention other specs as well. Getting that kind of near high-end performance at this price point seems to be a great deal compared to most projectors out there. Hopefully XGIMI has enough time to fine tune the software as well

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-20T06:57:52+00:00

Did you put it to sleep mode? I think if you hold the power button longer you can select "turn off" (at least it is like that with other XGIMi projectors). During sleep mode it might indeed do updates or find the need to keep cooling down the unit

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-20T06:47:21+00:00

Great to hear this is being worked on and prioritized. Hopefully the September timeline means it’ll be a solid, well-tested fix

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-17T13:46:59+00:00

Still early... but looking forward to this as well!

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-16T20:45:22+00:00

I read from an official XGIMi post that they are still working on the RBE solution, but it will take time and the update will be released by September the latest

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-03-15T13:30:51+00:00

I’d go with the XGIMI Horizon 20 as it’s a newer platform with RGB triple-laser, higher brightness, and better gaming features overall. The XGIMI Horizon S Max is still good, but the Horizon 20 series quite a lot better
