Xgimi Unveils Horizon 20 Projectors with Impressive Specs
Xgimi has launched its Horizon 20 lineup of 4K Google TV projectors, aimed at gamers seeking large-screen experiences with minimal input lag. The flagship model, Horizon 20 Max, boasts an impressive brightness of 5700 ISO lumens and a remarkably low input lag of just 1ms, making it a compelling choice for daytime gaming, reports 24brussels.
The Horizon 20 series consists of three models: the base Horizon 20, the Horizon 20 Pro, and the Horizon 20 Max. All models feature a cutting-edge RGB triple laser architecture. The Horizon 20 Max leads the pack with its 5700 ISO lumens, designed for optimal viewing even in bright environments. In comparison, the Horizon 20 Pro delivers 4200 ISO lumens, while the base model offers 3100 ISO lumens, according to Xgimi.
Despite previous criticisms regarding brightness claims from Chinese manufacturers, Xgimi emphasizes that its measurements are now based on ISO lumens, a standard recognized for its reliability. The company asserts that the performance promised by the Horizon 20 Max matches its specifications. Notably, 5700 ISO lumens places this projector in the premium range typically associated with devices costing over $10,000.
In addition to brightness, the projectors support advanced imaging technologies, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced modes. The inclusion of optical zoom and lens shifting technology enhances usability by allowing adjustments without image distortion.
For gamers, the Horizon 20 projectors offer a refresh rate of 240Hz and variable refresh rate (VRR) capabilities to synchronize with gaming consoles or PCs. However, achieving the low 1ms response time strictly applies at 1080p/240fps; latency increases slightly to 2.2ms at 1080p/120Hz and 3ms at 4K/60Hz. Xgimi also highlights a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 when engaging the dynamic black level enhancement mode. Furthermore, Netflix is readily accessible on the device, complemented by 24W built-in Harman Kardon speakers providing 360-degree audio support.
The Horizon 20 series will be available for preorder in the UK and US starting September 5, 2025, with shipments expected to begin in October. The retail price will range from $1,699 for the standard model to $2,999 for the Horizon 20 Max. However, an early bird promotion will offer significant discounts, reducing prices to between $1,189 and $2,399, which also includes a floor stand and a game code for Assassin’s Creed.
