For 2024, XGIMI has released five new projectors priced from $399 to $2,399 for big screen home entertainment. The portable MoGo 3 Pro ($449) is designed for impromptu movie nights or business presentations. The Elfin Flip ($399) is versatile for use in any space. The AURA 2 ($2,399) is an ultra short-throw projector, while the new HORIZON S Pro ($1,299) and HORIZON S Max ($1,899) are great for a living room or gaming room setup.

MoGo 3 Pro

The EISA award-winning MoGo 3 Pro incorporates a compact design (about the size of a coffee cup) and also weighs in at only 2.43 lbs. It features a carrying case and lanyard for easy portability. As XGIMI’s first Google TV projector, the MoGo 3 Pro offers native Netflix support alongside other popular streaming apps. With a USB Type-C port for power bank support, it’s great for those who may want to take it with them on vacation or to a secondary home.

The MoGo 3 PRO’s innovative multi-angle base stand not only provides convenience but also serves as a projector switch, powering up the MoGo 3 Pro by rotating it out of the base. Advanced DLP display technology, 1080p resolution, and a 90% DCI-P3 color gamut deliver rich color and clarity.

Standard XGIMI features like auto keystone correction and intelligent obstacle avoidance ensure a quick, easy setup with an optimal viewing experience.

The MoGo 3 Pro also introduces an ambient light feature. This enables the projector light to move with the music, adding vibrant colors that dance with every note, creating an immersive audio-visual experience.

Elfin Flip

The Elfin Flip introduces cinematic sound and vision in a compact long-throw smart projector with Dolby audio, 1080P resolution, and high brightness. Its portable design and integrated stand allow easy adjustment and multi-angle projection (up to 150 degrees of tilt), while XGIMI’s Intelligent Screen Adaptation Technology ensures automatic keystone correction and screen alignment for hassle-free setup. 

The Elfin Flip’s lightweight frame fits comfortably on a desk or shelf, making it ideal for smaller spaces and beyond.

The Elfin Flip is also easy to carry and move from room to room. Despite its compact size, it outputs 400 ISO lumens and is equipped with two 3W speakers supported by Dolby Audio. Powered by WebOS with native Netflix support and access to thousands of other applications and streaming services, users can watch their favorite shows and movies seamlessly.

AURA 2 

AURA 2 is the new “big boy” in XGIMI’s projector line (and is also an EISA Award Winner). It is powered by Dual Light 2.0 technology which supports ultra-high brightness and color accuracy with 2300 ISO Lumens, ensuring improved performance in low lighting conditions. It also has IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision certifications.

IMAX Enhanced certification allows users to enjoy IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio and exclusive audio format from DTS at home. The AURA 2’s DCI-P3 color gamut coverage is 99%, allowing for accurate reproduction of colors. For sound, AURA 2 provides immersive theater sound quality through four built-in Harman/Kardon 15W 2-channel speakers.

Thanks to AURA’s improved color accuracy, consumers can also use the short-throw projector to experience artwork at home with Art Mode. With a 0.177:1 ultra-short throw ratio, the AURA 2 projects a larger image than other UST projectors. This enables you to projector a 100-inch image at a screen distance of only 17.8 cm (7 inches).

Also, with an optional Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen, the Aura 2 creates a canvas effect, looking like artwork projected across the entire wall. 

Pro Tip: The Aura 2 can project an image as large as 150-inches.

The anti-glare screen marks XGIMI’s first ALR screen to market. With the smartest adaptation system from XGIMI and the short-throw category yet, including uninterrupted auto keystone correction, wall flatness improvement, wall color adaptation, and smart cognition that awakes the projector when movement is sensed, the new AURA 2 optimizes the viewing experience for every environment.

Screen Alignment Assist will automatically detect and align the image perfectly with the screen, while wall flatness improvement ensures a perfectly flat image, making any wall a perfect canvas for your display.

Also designed for gaming and sports enthusiasts, AURA 2 features a low latency gaming mode, MEMC for sports, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for seamless streaming. 

HORIZON Series 

The new HORIZON S Series, which includes the HORIZON S Pro and the HORIZON S Max, brings in the HORIZON Max’s technology (debuted at CES 2024), but at a more affordable price point for consumers starting at $1,299. The latest projectors set a new benchmark in home projection with Dual Light 2.0 Technology, combining a Tri-Color Laser and LED for a brighter, more accurate image while ensuring eye comfort. 

The HORIZON S Pro ($1299) is certified by Dolby Vision, while the HORIZON S Max ($1899) is certified by both IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision. Featuring a built-in flexible stand, both also offer 360° horizontal and 135° vertical rotation, making it easy to adjust the projection angle with one hand.

XGIMI claims a dynamic contrast of 1000000:1 and 3100 ISO lumens making the HORIZON S Max 34.7% brighter than its predecessor, the HORIZON Ultra. The HORIZON S Pro delivers a vivid-looking image with 1800 ISO lumens and the same dynamic contrast ratio of 1000000:1. 

Both projectors are equipped with Harman/Kardon speakers with 2 × 12W output, DTS, featuring Dolby Audio and DTS to ensure an enhanced audio experience.

Additionally, the HORIZON S Series projectors include ISA 5.0 technology for real-time correction and an electric sliding cover for a seamless start-up, all wrapped in a home aesthetic design that integrates beautifully into any living space.

The Horizon S Pro is priced at $1,299 and the Horizon S MAX is priced at $1,899
