(August 31, 2023) Today, XGIMI officially launched its all-new HORIZON Ultra long-throw projector, packing 4K performance and Dolby Vision in a strikingly small form factor. Using a hybrid Laser-LED system, hardware-level computing optics, low-latency gaming modes, and a unique, modern design, the HORIZON Ultra stands as a unique projector offering.
The inclusion of Dolby Vision functionality is, in itself, intriguing, largely because XGIMI is the first to officially pair Dolby Vision with a long-throw projection system. Dolby Vision unlocks the full potential of HDR to deliver stunning visuals across widely varied scenes, allowing eyes to enjoy content without inconsistencies or annoyances.
"Entertainment consumption has drastically changed in recent years, with increased streaming at home," said Apollo Zhong, founder and CEO of XGIMI. “Feedback from our global community of more than 4-million customers helped us develop HORIZON Ultra to bring best-in-class immersive experiences, like Dolby Vision, to our latest lineup of products without compromise. This required significant innovation and we’re confident HORIZON Ultra will elevate home entertainment to extraordinary levels.”
HORIZON Ultra is the first XGIMI projector to include a brand-new Laser-LED Dual Light technology - a hybrid system that combines Laser and LED light, taking the best of both technologies without compromise to create a continuous natural spectrum with an ultra-wide color gamut, ultra-high brightness, ultra-accurate colorimetry. This new system boasts 2300 ISO Lumens, making for XGIMI’s brightest projector to date, a 77% increase from its predecessor, the HORIZON Pro. Its DCI-P3 color gamut coverage is over 95.5 percent, while Rec.709 color gamut coverage exceeds 99.9 percent, allowing for excellent reproduction of film colors. A high color accuracy calibration platform developed specifically for HORIZON Ultra achieves an average color accuracy of △E≈1, and is certified by two major institutions - SGS in Switzerland and TÜV Süd.
XGIMI has packed Horizon Ultra with its Intelligent Screen Adaption technology 3.0 (ISA 3.0) - an upgraded software and hardware-level computing optics system, only before incorporated in projectors for theaters and luxury markets. Because ambient conditions within a viewing environment have a critical impact on visuals, this new tech makes dynamic adjustments using both software and hardware, to ensure the best picture quality at all times.
ISA 3.0 hardware includes a Dynamic Iris for adjustment of brightness & contrast, a Dynamic Color Adjustment Module, and an automatic optical zoom module for uncompromised screen scaling. Together, the three breakthrough hardware improvements provide a precision optical processing system that can change in real-time. Software-wise, it conducts uninterrupted auto focus and keystone correction, while incorporating an all-new Wall Color Adaption feature that automatically adjusts brightness and colors to optimize the screen for the wall color it’s being displayed on.
On the gaming front, XGIMI has endowed Horizon Ultra with ultra-low latency (18 ms), while supporting 4K at 60Hz. This gives gaming enthusiasts fast refresh rates and low input lag, ensuring smooth and responsive gaming. The HORIZON Ultra can also be paired with a screen as large as 200”, making for a clear and large image for users looking to level-up their gaming experience.
The HORIZON Ultra can be purchased today for $1699 through Amazon.com, with other authorized retailer availability coming soon.
