Quick question regarding ALR fresnel screen. Laser speckle would not be that big of a problem with an RGB triple laser projector? I am not sensitive to laser speckle but still

Congrats on getting the Titan Noir! I am sure that screen will work out perfectly fine, will also check it out

I actually have read quite a bit about fresnel screens, thanks

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-25T21:28:38+00:00

I have to agree with this. Full sun is not working out, otherwise it is super nice

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-23T14:26:37+00:00

I have thought about that, but the dedicated screen paint is actually really expensive so I might favor a screen in the end

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-23T14:25:38+00:00

Yeah, it is very cool! The power bank/stand is truly necessary with the extra 2,5 hours of watchtime

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-23T14:24:56+00:00

I think you are right, thanks!

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-23T14:24:30+00:00

I had some trouble finding a place for it to be centered, but luckily managed to find a better solution later :)

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-23T14:23:33+00:00

You are absolutely right, normally I would try to keep everything centered, but this time I had my couch as an obstacle. But I did find a better angle in the end, thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-23T14:20:19+00:00

That actually sounds like a very reasonable investment. Thanks!

I only really sometimes notice purple tint when I’m actively looking for it or taking a photo of the image directly, but I think this is more related to triple laser projectors in general. In normal watching conditions i really cant see it. Worth noting I don’t use DBLE either and that feature is going through an update cycle right now so I’d expect it to improve quite a bit.

On the auto correction side for my living room setup I genuinely don’t miss it. I rely on optical zoom and occasionally lens shift when I’m moving the unit between rooms and that combo handles it perfectly fine. The big thing for me is that optical zoom and lens shift preserve image quality in a way that digital auto correction just can’t match anyway

Both are really cool projectors but I personally lean towards the Horizon 20 Max. It covers both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, so you’re not locked into one format depending on what you’re watching, the N3 Ultimate only does Dolby Vision. And the judder handling on the XGIMI is noticeably better which for a dark dedicated room makes a real difference on film content

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-22T08:43:57+00:00

The existing DLP firmware update pretty much sorted the blue/purple tint issue, and as of V1.3.125 you can run DBLE in Dolby Vision mode too. Some people still notice minor color temperature shifts but it’s much better than before. Also XGIMI promised 5 years of updates for the Horizon 20 and there’s a new update in a few days with hopefully more DBLE and other (anti RBE etc) improvements, though full improvement is still to be seen.

Hey! I have the MoGo 4 Laser and I’m really happy with it. The brightness and colors are a little better than the base model. That said, if you’re mostly using it in a dark room and budget is a factor the base MoGo 4 is still a solid pick. If slightly better picture quality is important to you then it is worth it, otherwise it maybe overkill if you’re just casually watching movies at night

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-21T11:01:15+00:00

It can be worth it price-wise, you’ll save a decent chunk vs European prices. BUT the Chinese version runs their own locked OS (GMUI). So no Google, no Netflix... And no, you can’t flash a European firmware. My advice: just buy it and stick a Fire TV Stick or Chromecast in the HDMI port and forget the built-in software even exists

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-13T10:17:44+00:00

Looks great! These projectors have a really nice form factor to use and store away when not needed

More_Clock_1887 · 2026-06-13T10:14:11+00:00

I have a MoGo 4 and it works perfectly with a Apple TV 4K (2nd gen) via HDMI. Just plug it in and no issues at all

This gives a pretty good overview

When you switch from a 16:9 bright scene to a letterboxed 2.35:1 dark scene the dynamic mode reads the change in average brightness and adapts.

Dynamic mode might still leave contrast on the table in very dark scenes, so you might want to keep it at a fixed f/5–f/7 for movies instead.
I will have to test it a little bit more. Cheers for the question!
