Amazing
Review for Horizon 20 (base model)I had a lamp-powered Epson for years. It was pretty good, relatively, projecting onto a 120" screen in the man cave with a game console as the only input. The 'iris' mechanism went bad and I had no motivation to repair. It limped along for a while with a significant decay in functionality. I eventually stopped using it regularly.When I started looking for a replacement, I was overwhelmed by the options. $1500 was about my max spend (this unit was on sale). I wanted to get away from lamps that require repetitive replacement. This included getting away from the fan noise produced by high-heat lamps. As a privacy-first technology consumer, I am not interested in 'smart' anything. I used to be. But once one realizes all the 'convenient' tech can be quietly used against us (e.g., Flock cameras, Ring, alexa, siri, Nest, etc.), one sees the Trojan-horse potential in ALL tech to create a 1984 dystopia. Especially Big Tech. So I am certainly not interested in 'google tv' or any 'smart' apps on a device like the XGIMI Horizon. I'll keep WiFi off, and Bluetooth if possible, and will input via cable from a privacy-priority device. That said, if you do love Big Tech like google, that will be the cherry on top for you with this device.Upon receipt, the packaging is a grade above & the product is well protected. The unit is relatively compact and its 'box' form is so different from my old, 'flat' Epson. IMO, It is easily transportable. Remote is solid & slim. IT IS WONDERFULLY QUIET! Boots up fast. Much faster than my Epson. The 360 degree rotating bottom includes a threaded insert for ceiling mount. Which I used. It also pivots 'up & down' (y axis) on a gimbal. On top of the mechanical ease of horizontal/vertical adjustment, the Horizon includes some very cool auto-adjust features that fill a black-bordered screen perfectly. When I hung it from the ceiling, it auto-adjusted & flipped the image. It auto-handles keystone correction & lens shift. It adapts to ambient conditions, including sound. With 'intelligent eye protection,' if a kid walks in front of it, for example, the projection pauses (not what is playing). I use the Horizon 20 audio-out with an amp & external speakers, but the onboard speakers are not shabby. It is very useful to have two HDMI connects and USB connectors. I have not played games on it yet, but I anticipate it will be excellent with a 1 millisecond lag!The ease & functionality of this product has inspired me to buy an inflatable screen (rear or front projection) for the backyard to host movies / sports.I HOPE this product lasts a long while. So far, it meets all my expectations, and then some. Note that I am NOT a videophile and my expectations are mid. On sale, the Horizon 20 may truly be the best deal, hands down, for a budget-sensitive customer who still wants a higher quality projector.Some great features listed from their website:Uninterrupted Auto Keystone CorrectionAuto FocusIntelligent Obstacle AvoidanceIntelligent Screen AlignmentWall Color AdaptationIntelligent Eye ProtectionVer másVer menos
