With its hybrid laser and LED technology, its low latency mode and its Harman and Kardon audio system, this new model from XGIMI offers exceptional value for money to all home cinema and video game enthusiasts, for 1899 €.
It is the very first long-throw projector in the world to benefit from Dolby Vision technology. With a revolutionary hybrid laser and LED system, optical components previously reserved for high-end projectors, minimal latency game modes and its accomplished design, the HORIZON Ultra sets new standards in home entertainment.
The HORIZON Ultra is the first XGIMI projector to include the brand new Dual Light technology – a hybrid system that combines laser and LED light. The projector industry has long used either lasers or LEDs as a light source, which has resulted in trade-offs between the pros and cons of each technology. With XGIMI’s new Dual Light System, the HORIZON Ultra takes the best of both technologies to create a continuous natural spectrum with an extremely wide color gamut, incredibly high brightness and exceptionally accurate colorimetry. This new system displays 2300 ISO Lumens, delivering the brightest display ever offered by XGIMI to date, a 77% increase over its predecessor, the HORIZON Pro. Its DCI-P3 color gamut coverage exceeds 95.5%, while Rec.709 color gamut coverage exceeds 99.9%, enabling excellent cinematic color reproduction. A high-accuracy color calibration platform, developed specifically for the HORIZON Ultra, achieves an average color accuracy of △E≈1 and is certified by two major institutions (SGS in Switzerland and TÜV Süd in Germany). The result is the most enjoyable and comfortable viewing experience offering image sharpness without distortion or chromatic imperfections, surpassing conventional projectors in the same (and even higher) price range.
With the HORIZON Ultra, XGIMI has introduced Intelligent Screen Adaption 3.0 (ISA 3.0) technology, a breakthrough that has hitherto been reserved for high-end cinema projectors and the luxury market. The ambient conditions of the viewing environment have a crucial impact on the viewing experience. Lighting, walls, curtains, and even projector positioning all influence the performance of standard projectors. XGIMI’s new ISA 3.0 technology makes dynamic adjustments to the viewing environment using both software and hardware, to ensure the best picture quality at all times.
ISA 3.0 includes a Dynamic Iris for adjusting brightness and contrast, a Dynamic Color Adjustment Module, and an Auto Optical Zoom Module for precise screen adjustment. These three revolutionary hardware enhancements combine to form a precise and responsive optical processing system. For example, thanks to ISA 3.0, the brightness and color settings automatically adjust according to the time of day: the brightness increases during the day and the colors get stronger at night.
This new technology is focused on the consumer viewing experience, building on the previous version of ISA to ensure uninterrupted autofocus and keystone correction, so users can enjoy a perfectly aligned image without distortion, without the hassle of manual adjustments. ISA 3.0 includes a brand new Adapt to Wall Color feature that automatically adjusts brightness and colors to optimize the screen for the color of the wall it is projected onto. Just like other XGIMI projectors, the HORIZON Ultra incorporates advanced eye protection. This means that as soon as movement is detected in front of the projector, the brightness is automatically cut off. This function is particularly beneficial for young children who may pass in front of the screen, thereby protecting their eyes from light stress and also avoiding any eye strain due to light.
The HORIZON Ultra finally has a brand new game mode with a low latency of 18 ms. It supports 4K resolution at 60Hz, allowing gamers to enjoy high refresh rates and low latency, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. The HORIZON Ultra can also stream video up to 200 inches, providing a clear and wide picture for users looking to enhance their gaming experience.
