The XGIMI HORIZON Max 4K projector was first introduced at CES 2024. With this device, the company aims to create a premium home theater experience at a reduced price. The company announced a partnership with IMAX and claims that this new product is the world's first IMAX-enhanced long-throw projector, at least at this price point.
The HORIZON Max features two light sources, Dual Light 2.0, which combine a triple laser and a phosphorescent light, for an extremely wide color gamut and fewer imperfections. The projector offers a brightness of 3,100 ISO lumens, 35% more than the HORIZON Ultra, and a contrast ratio of 2,000:1. Another, rather unusual tool is Intelligent Screen Adaptation (ISA) 5.0 for image optimization. This feature means that the projector can intelligently select the best position on the wall to project using a motorized gimbal and 3D ToF function and remember the settings you choose for a wall; The latter feature can be useful if you use different walls or rooms for gaming and watching movies.
Other typical image enhancement tools include automatic brightness adjustments, keystone correction, and scaling. XGIMI also announced plans to switch from Android to Google TV in 2024, but did not specifically state that this would also be the case for Max. In addition, the device supports Dolby Vision and DTS:X sound. XGIMI HORIZON Max 4K projector is expected to launch in late 2024; The exact release date and price have not yet been announced.
