XGimi Horizon S Max/S Pro: DLP, Ultra HD/4K, Laser/LED and Dolby Vision

The Chinese manufacturer Xgimi is taking advantage of the IFA Berlin 2024 show to announce in Europe two new 4K Ultra HD Home Cinema video projectors that will top the Horizon range, the Xgimi Horizon S Max and Xgimi Horizon S Pro. Their special feature? A dual LED and laser light source.

First, we note that the design of these new Horizon references changes compared to the first models that appeared a few years ago now. Important precision, like its predecessors, the Xgimi Horizon S Max/S Pro have advanced ergonomics with the ISA 5.0 functionality: keystone adjustment or even automatic focus, which greatly facilitates its installation. Considering the low weight of these models, this accentuates their transportable character. Precision, their integrated support allows a vertical adjustment of 135° and a horizontal rotation of 360 degrees.

The big novelty of the Xgimi Horizon S Max/S Pro does not lie in their cubic design (already in vogue on the Xgimi Horizon and Xgimi Horizon Pro) nor in its sound equipment signed Harman Kardon, but rather in the light source called Dual Light 2.0. The latter is double, laser and [abc]LED[/abc], in order to combine, according to the brand, "the brightness and color precision of LEDs with the high contrast and sharpness of laser". If the Xgimi Horizon S Pro is given for 1,800 lumens, the Xgimi Horizon S Max is announced at 3,100 lumens. The demonstration for the latter on a 180" (457 cm) screen is impressive…
