Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict

Pros & cons

Der XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro ist ein heller 4K-Laserbeamer fürs Wohnzimmer, der auch bei Restlicht trägt und dank Zoom und Lens Shift nicht mittig stehen muss. Statt 4.100 liefert er ab Werk rund 2.800 Lumen, für Tageslicht reicht das. Der Haken ist der erhöhte Schwarzwert: Dunkle Filmszenen bekommen einen bläulichen Schleier. Für ein dunkles Heimkino ist er nicht die erste Wahl.

Pros

  • Rund 2.800 ANSI-Lumen ab Werk, mit Luminanz-Boost gut 3.500 Lumen
  • Optischer Zoom 1,2 bis 1,5:1 und Lens Shift bis 120 % vertikal
  • Google TV mit offizieller Netflix-App, dazu Chromecast
  • Mit Super Frame bei 120 Hz praktisch kein Input Lag
  • Farbstark mit 85 bis 92 % DCI-P3
  • Laserquelle mit 20.000 Stunden, ohne Lampenwechsel

Cons

  • Erhöhter Schwarzwert, Kontrast nur rund 1.250 bis 1.400:1
  • Beworbene 4.100 Lumen erreicht nur der grünstichige High-Power-Modus
  • Geringer Input Lag nur in Full HD, 4K höchstens 60 Hz
  • Projektor-Menüs schlecht erklärt, Zoom und Lens Shift erst nach Einrichtung
  • Regenbogeneffekt und Laser-Speckle auf Kontrastleinwänden sichtbar

Der XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro ist ein kompakter Full-HD-Beamer für Filmabende im abgedunkelten Raum: scharfes Bild, kräftige Farben, Autofokus in unter fünf Sekunden und ein Klang, der ein mittelgroßes Zimmer füllt. Mit gut 300 ANSI-Lumen wird das Bild bei Restlicht schnell blass. Der Haken: kein Akku und keine offizielle Netflix-App auf dem ursprünglichen Modell, die gibt es erst bei der Neuauflage mit Google TV.

Pros

  • Scharfes natives Full-HD-Bild, bis 100 Zoll geschlossen
  • Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur in unter fünf Sekunden, ohne Testbild
  • Zwei 8-W-Lautsprecher füllen ein mittelgroßes Zimmer mit verständlichen Dialogen
  • Lüfter in normalen Bildmodi praktisch unhörbar, gut fürs Schlafzimmer
  • Weiter Farbraum mit gemessenen 86,5 % DCI-P3
  • Rund 1 kg leicht, läuft an Powerbank mit 65 W

Cons

  • Gut 300 statt 400 Lumen, bei Restlicht schnell blass
  • Kein eingebauter Akku, unterwegs nur mit Steckdose oder Powerbank
  • Keine offizielle Netflix-App auf dem ursprünglichen Modell mit Android TV
  • Android TV mit 2 GB Arbeitsspeicher reagiert oft träge
  • Nativer Kontrast 385:1, Schwarz bleibt Dunkelgrau
