A really superb piece of kit
I wanted to give this a bit of time before reviewing it so as not to miss out on anything. The TL;DR version is that this is a phenomenal little projector, being a great upgrade from my previously owned 1080p Xgimi MoGo Pro.Pros:* Great picture - although it's not "true" 4k, it's more than good enough to fool the naked eye and the picture is bright, crisp and well-detailed. It also has surprisingly good black level for a projector as long as you've eliminated the ambient light in the room, but even in a lit room you can get a watchable picture if you need to (although why you would use a projector in a bright room is beyond me!). HDR output is really nice by projector standards too - it's not going to beat an OLED, but for a projector this is on par with anything else I've ever seen before you get to the £5k sort of range.* In-built sound is punchy and loud enough to not need additional speakers if you don't plan to have it fixed in one place. I move it between two rooms, so I'm happy to use the in-built speakers and they do the job beautifully. It does have ARC support, though, so if you want to set up an actual 'cinema room' with this as the projector, it would connect up to your soundbar no bother. The rooms I use it in are too small to need that, though!* The automatic keystoning is a great feature. As mentioned above - I use this in two rooms. In my home office (ie: mancave) where I have a screen hanging on one wall, and in my bedroom where it's just projected onto a bit of white wall between the cupboard and door. The auto-keystone feature means I don't have to spend ages adjusting the picture every time I move it (this was always a pain on the MoGo Pro) and although it's not always perfect, usually only just needs a couple of small tweaks at most to be finalised. I'm able to watch happily in my bedroom despite the projector having to beam at an almost 40 degree angle (more on that below in cons though).* It handles gaming surprisingly well. I'm not a twitchy FPS player, but in game mode I was able to play Forza Horizon from my PC over HDMI with no problems and I didn't feel any real latency or lag. Same with more reaction-based stuff like Hades. It might not be what a pro gamer type would need (60Hz, for one thing, which is low for competitive gaming), but for a casual type like me, it's a lot of fun gaming on such a big screen.* Portability is excellent. It's small, compact-shaped (it's almost a cube, so doesn't take up too much room in any one direction), quite light and also has a standard issue tripod mount thread on the bottom if you want to attach it to such a thing.Cons:* It has 3D support, but it doesn't work all that well. I got a pair of Xgimi's 3D glasses free with it as part of a promotion when I bought it, and it took a lot of fiddling to get a crisp 3D picture. That said, there's not a lot of 3D content out there online anyway, so it might be ok for someone who's got a proper 3D blu-ray player and knows how best to set this stuff up.* When the projector isn't front and centre and matched up with your screen/wall, there is quite a lot of light bleed. This is an unavoidable side-effect of digital keystoning when you're projecting at an angle, but some sort of peripheral which could shutter this off a bit would have been nice. Unfortunately Xgimi don't make anything like that. There's also no lens cap (I don't think there's an official peripheral for this either) which feels like a bit of an oversight for such an expensive device.* The official accessories are very expensive. I looked into getting the tabletop stand (which allows for easy adjustments in angle if you're not 100% level) but it's £75, which is a bit ridiculous. Same with the bespoke projector stand - over £100 (frustratingly, I missed out on getting one for free as that promo came along a month after I bought it - would rather have had that than the glasses!). I've had to come up with some DIY solutions as a result. It also doesn't come with a cover, but there are some 3rd party ones on Amazon that do the trick. Just feels like at this price point, including a few extra things like a cover would have been nice.* The power brick is quite big - it's like a laptop style one, so if you're going to ceiling-mount this, you will need to take that into account and it might make your setup look a little messier.* There's no native Netflix support - I use a 4K Firestick, so that doesn't bother me too much, but it's just something to be aware of. This is more Netflix's fault (they refuse to make it available for certain companies for some reason) than Xgimi's, though.In conclusion, although I've listed a few cons there, they are quite nitpicky and I would still quite happily give this projector 5 stars with no hesitation. It's a wonderful piece of kit and I'm genuinely amazed at just how good it is when I look at some other projectors out there at similar price points).

Great projector for video gaming, art, movies
Bought this initially for art projects with photography. I've since used it as my main screen for everything from video gaming and watching movies. It's one of the best investments I've ever done.The biggest benefit is the automation built, portability and the amazing audio. You can put the projector anywhere you like and it will auto-focus and skew the screen to fit. Super simple and relatively fast.NEVER GOING BACK TO NORMAL SCREENS.

Horizon Pro a great projector (again) from Xgimi
I have the Xgimi Elfin, as a first stab at home theatre and I love it, but it was time to see what could really be done with an upgrade to 4K and a much brighter projector. I have not been disappointed, easy setup, software is even better (and it was extremely good on the Elfin). If you have android, setup is very easy and pretty much automatic if you scan an on screen QR and accept a few prompts.Picture Quality is fantastic HD, 4K etc.. is good, it must upscale the HD very well because it looks even better than on the native HD Elfin. The Elfin was quiet but the Horizon Pro is near silent. I had considered the Nebula Cosmos, but am so pleased I went for this. The other reason was the 1.21 throw, which means I could get a nice large image (100") in the same place I had the Elfin. The Nebula cosmos would have only produced am 88" image with it's longer throw.I haven't tried the sound because I actually use a soundbar on the floor so the sound is coming from the same place as the image...Some tips...get the Xgimi dongle, in the deal I had it was included free....powered from the Xgimis USB port and set up so the dongle can be controlled via the HDMI allows you to control the dongle from the main Xgimi remote! The dongle has, or can have installed, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney etc.. etc.. on it. By connecting it in the way described, the projector will boot, then the dongle boots and it auto flips to the dongle...After that the experience is seamless. (and the dongle remote can be stored in a draw).If you don't want to shell out for the dongle, then you will have to run the web version of netflix using "Desktop Manager" to install it.The advantage of the dongle I also believe is better motion, as the you're offloading that processing from the projector and can use weak motion smoothing on the projector settings, rather than medium for better quality.If you are controlling the dongle with the remote, pressing the gear symbol on the remote will take you to the projector settings, not dongle settings...then you simply change source back to the dongle.AN IMPORTANT TIP: if you have smart plugs and other devices that use the 2.4 GHz band and your router is serving both 2.4 and 5GHz...give each band different passwords! This will prevent the projector and/or dongle from using the must slower 2.4, if the signal is not very strong. My router is on the ground floor and I am in the opposite end of the house on the 2nd floor (signal says fair). By doing this, I'm guaranteed to get over 111mbps, with no fall back to the much slower 2.4 GHz. Update: I now have a mesh system installed for WiFi and things are even better.It's LED and DLP, very colour accurate and I like DLP because of the extremely good 3D capability, plus the fully enclosed light path, so not dust concerned. Just keep the grills vacuumed once per month, especially if you have a cat. This keeps it running nice n cool.This is not a paid or shill review, get it, you will absolutely not be disappointed. Amazing projector.

Ok for the price, has several drawbacks
Priced a bit high for what it is, this is still quite a basic projector. Maybe they charge more for brand, though I don't know how "strong" this brand is in the market...I use it to watch vidoes in a small room (3-4 meters projection distance).Projection size is not bad and brightness is good. Picture quality and colors are good (considering it's not 4K). Sound quality is also very nice and it's good to have a projector with Smart capabilities and decent sound all in one package, and it's not too big either.However, I did find issues:1. Does NOT play Netflix by default! You have to use 2 dodgy 3rd party apps to make it work (after this, it does work thogh, but there's not telling when Netflix will disable this option).2. Projection angle is fixed and biased heavily upwards3. Geometery adjustments are applied within the projection area so if you have to use them, you "lose"quite a lot of area (this is not unique of course, but improtant to note).4. It's cooling fan is quite audible. Its noise is not very annoying, but noticable.
