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 Vibe One ist ein Akku-Beamer mit nativem Full HD und Google TV, der Netflix ohne Stick abspielt und Bild sowie Fokus selbst ausrichtet. Mit 229 ISO-Lumen am Netz taugt er nur für abgedunkelte Räume. Der Haken: Der Akku hält 60 bis 80 min, liefert dann nur 64 Lumen und lädt nicht per USB-C.
Pros
- Natives Full HD mit natürlichen Hauttönen und für die Klasse tiefem Schwarz
- Netflix, Prime Video und Disney+ offiziell über Google TV ohne Stick
- Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur richten das Bild in Sekunden aus
- Bügel schwenkt um 160 Grad, Projektion an die Decke möglich
- Helligkeitsangabe realistisch: 229 statt versprochener 250 ISO-Lumen
- Input Lag von 25,2 ms reicht für Gelegenheitsspiele
Cons
- Akku hält nur 60 bis 80 min, Helligkeit sinkt dabei auf 64 Lumen
- Laden nur per Netzteil, keine USB-C-Buchse für Powerbanks
- Ausleuchtung nur 55 % gleichmäßig, Ecken unten deutlich dunkler
- Lüfter im Leistungsmodus rund 50 dB, im Standardmodus 37 bis 41 dB
- Google TV reagiert träge, Ton ohne Bass und ohne Klinkenausgang
