An excellent projector and great customer service!
TL;DR - it’s an amazing product, I love it and wouldn’t have picked anything else for my money. Customer support is very responsive (thanks Winnie for your help!). The only drawback is the onboard android smart tv has some issues for my viewing habits (no Netflix yet, and some picture issues in the Criterion Channel). I needed to pair it with an Apple TV, and once I did everything has been fantastic.3rd UPDATE - 5*Their customer support has been very responsive. They fixed this product listing and removed the hundreds of unrelated reviews and info for an older model. They also helped with all my technical questions. The projector is really excellent and I’m enjoying it. For my use it required an AppleTV to get the best performance out of it. A small compromise for an excellent projector. For more details, read below.2nd UPDATE - 3*Have spent much more time with the projector this week, including connecting it up to a Roku Express as well as an Apple TV 4K. Both of them resolved the brightness strobing I was seeing in Criterion Channel streaming. It convinced me it’s an interpolation issue. While that shouldn’t be the case, I’ve only seen the problem on the Criterion Channel App on the on-board Android TV OS. Running the same films on the Criterion Channel app on either the Roku or Apple TV didn’t have the issue. That difference shows a problem, I’m just not sure what it is.It’s a shame to need an additional streaming device on top of the one included in the smart projector, but it does solve the issue and also provides Netflix (currently missing from the Android TV OS due to licensing. That may change down the line). The Horizon handles connectivity very well in general, so switching between the on-board OS and the Apple TV has been quick and painless. And the Horizon’s remote functions well for operating both, no programming needed.The same is true for connection with a Bluetooth speaker as a sound output. Once paired, the projector remembers the most recent output setting (internal speakers vs Bluetooth external speaker) and automatically connects on startup.The Autofocus has been flawless (when I trigger it manually, the automaticity triggered autofocus on startup was not great and I turned it off). I don’t use the keystone corrections or digital zoom, so no comment.I think Xgimi took a good deal of care in the hardware and software design, it takes thoughtful engineering to make something this complicated work well and easy to use. It feels like they are aiming at the finesse and polish of an Apple product, and they are very close.Maybe the only tricky part is understanding what settings are best between an external streaming devices and the projector with it’s interpolation (MEMC). I’m not sure what it’s supported frame rates are (besides 1080p@60hz) and haven’t figured out the best output settings to use on Apple TV to feed it. But for the most part, the resulting interpolated image is pretty good.I can’t stress enough how significant streaming bandwidth has been to the image quality. It may be obvious that quality of the output can’t be better than quality of the input, but this is the first projector I’ve used as a TV and it took a few experiments to realize just how important internet speed is to performance, especially with a large image.Finally, I haven’t yet gotten a solution from Xgimi about the issue I’ve mentioned. A representative replied saying they’d need some time. It does seem Xgimi is working on things. They released a FW update yesterday adding 3D functionality and bug fixes. Always nice to see active development.Really this should be a 5* review, it’s a beautiful product. They need to:1. Separate the unrelated products on this Amazon listing, it’s a cheap marketing tactic that doesn’t fit the high quality of this company.2. Solve the Criterion Channel interpolation issue on the Android OS.3. Provide guidance on optimal settings for an external streaming device, when to apply MEMC, and the resolutions and frame rates that are supported with out interpolation.1st UPDATE - 2*There’s a brightness strobing issue with certain movies. I’m seeing this on Criterion Channel and for now assuming it’s an interpolation issue. But it makes these movies unwatchable. Reached out to Xgimi, and will update when they reply.ORIGINAL REVIEW - 4*All reviews before this one are for an older model and unrelated to the Horizon. Otherwise, the Horizon is a great projector. Good image quality (pretty sharp, fluid, with occasional processing artifacts and/or noise, but totally enjoyable and acceptable for this price) and brightness (washed out daytime, good when dim and dark, blacks are high but ok for the price), good sound for an all-in-one (clear and loud enough for watching tv, not “cinematic”), easy to use, and looks great. IMO between the 1080p Horizon (“Grey” option listed on this page) and the 4k Horizon Pro (on a different page), there is not enough difference in picture quality to justify the $500 difference. I recommend saving the money and getting this one.

Really happy with our purchase!
We just set this up today and honestly fairly surprised with it! We loved how it auto adjusted to our not so flat wall and love that we can also further adjust it it if needed! The speaker is another surprise, in our room it’s considerably loud which was great! Definitely pleased with this purchase!

Love this purchase
Absolutely amazing!!! I love the functionality as it is reminiscent of my previous projector. The size is small and light, the auto focus is accurate and for the cost it’s value fits the price

Love the brightness and 4D but....
TLDR: Great projector but cheap remote controlEDIT: 5/6/2022 - 1 starI noticed the remote's up arrow is must be pressed hard to work. All of the other buttons I just have to click a little bit.First Review 5/6/2022 - 4 starsReceived 5/5/2022I was fortunate enough to see and used the following 1080P projectors and I have ranked them:1. Xgimi Horizon2. Nebula Cosmos 1080P3. Anker Nebula Solar Portable4. Xgimi Elfin MiniHorizon and Cosmos spits on the Solar and Elfin both in sound and brightness so most of my comparison will be between Horizon and CosmosPros- Auto keystone correction: Horizon's 4D and Cosmos's 2D. Being able to set Horizon anywhere auto adjust is a huge plus while Cosmos has to be place around in front of you which is limiting. I missed Elfin Mini's easy usage that bugs on Cosmos on top of lack of smartness made me purchase Horizon- Brightness: Horizon's 2200 vs Cosmos's 900. I did not know how important brightness especially for living room like mine that is not light controlled. Although Cosmos was usable during day time, I wouldnt prefer it. With Horizon, I actually enjoy using my projector now even at day time or windows open as it is still super clear- Shape: Horizon's cube vs Cosmos's oval shape. Cube is definitely a lot space friendlier compared to the oval shape. Although Horizon is a bit taller, Cosmos is wider- Bugs: Have not seen any from Horizon but with Cosmos, I keep getting randomly disconnected from Wifi every 30 mins (Im sure it's not Nebula's fault) because bugs happens but that was enough for me to switch to HorizonCons- Speakers: Horizon's 2x 8W built-in Harman Kardon vs Cosmos's Dolby Digital Plus& 2x10W. Horizon seems to be louder but Comos has a higher sound quality and deeper bass- I will miss Cosmos's bluetooth speaker mode as Horizon does not have it. For Horizon, Air Screen would be required to play musics from my phone to the projector but Cosmos turns off the lamp which increases your projector's longevity especially when you play lots of music- Power: Horizon's power brick is bigger which makes it less portable and eats more power from my power bank compared to Cosmos smaller power brick- Remote Control: Horizon's thick, longer, heavier, and the small rounded volume buttons are aligned horizontally, far away from each other, are also the flattest buttons ever. Like did you guys run out of plastics or something? It also curves up right underneath it making them even harder to click. It also makes this loud noise when placed down. Click feeling feels cheaper compared to Comos controller. Meanwhile Cosmos are way thinner, way lighter, smaller, and well put together.For my use case, I am sticking with Horizon because I love the brightness and the user friendliness of 4D auto correct keystone

A good alternative to 55in tv wall mount
The media could not be loaded. It works really well at night and it’s amazing at readjusting the screen size. I watch it on the wall or ceiling when I’m getting sleepy. However, if you have windows and it’s super sunny outside, you will need blackout curtains to get a clearer image. It’s portable so I can take it to enjoy at family gatherings. There’s no lag at all. The sound quality is good for a medium sized room (10x14) but you can use a speaker or surround sound system for better sound quality. The remote control is nice and has the shortcut to Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime. It’s a little more expensive than a 55 inch but it’s worth the hassle if you want this for your bedroom and hate having to put a wall mount.
