In an exciting move for home entertainment enthusiasts, Xgimi has recently introduced two new projectors set to make waves in the South African market. The 4K Horizon Max and the Xgimi Aladdin boast impressive features that promise an immersive viewing experience. Let’s delve into the details of these cutting-edge devices.

1. 4K Horizon Max: A Bright Star in Home Cinema

Brightness and Certification

Xgimi’s 4K Horizon Max claims to be the company’s brightest 4K smart projector to date. With a reported 3,100 ISO lumens from its “Dual Light 2.0” laser and LED hybrid light source, this projector aims to deliver a visually stunning experience. However, it’s worth noting Xgimi’s correction of past brightness scores, following a lawsuit from Epson.

The Horizon Max has earned an IMAX Enhanced certification, highlighting its capability to play IMAX Enhanced content from popular streaming platforms such as Disney Plus.

Intelligent Screen Adaptation and Google TV Integration

One standout feature of the Horizon Max is the Intelligent Screen Adaptation (v5.0) technology. This innovative feature not only automatically finds the optimal projection spot on the wall but also memorizes settings for specific walls. For example, it can seamlessly transition from gaming settings when pointed at one wall to movie settings when directed at another.

The projector runs on Google TV, ensuring easy access to streaming services like Netflix without the need for sideloading. Additionally, the ISA 5.0 technology facilitates convenient placement.

Pricing and Availability

While Xgimi hasn’t provided final prices for the Horizon Max, it’s anticipated to be priced below $3,000. South African consumers can expect this high-performance projector to hit the market in late 2024.

2. Xgimi Aladdin: A Fusion of Light and Projection

Design and Integration

The Xgimi Aladdin takes a unique approach by combining a ceiling light with a projector. Based on technology acquired from Japan’s Popin, the Aladdin attaches directly to the existing light socket in your ceiling. This 3-in-1 device can produce a 1080P (1920 x 1080) image of up to 100 inches.

Sound and Control

Equipped with built-in Harman Kardon speakers, the Aladdin offers a 360-degree sound experience. The integrated lamp can be conveniently controlled through the projector’s remote or the Xgimi app. However, it’s important to note that the Aladdin is not compatible with Matter or other smart home ecosystems.

Pricing and Release Details

Xgimi is yet to disclose the final pricing and detailed specifications for the Aladdin projector. South African consumers will have to wait for an official announcement regarding availability.

Conclusion

As Xgimi makes the transition from Android TV to Google TV with these new releases, South African consumers can look forward to enhanced usability and seamless access to popular streaming services. The 4K Horizon Max and the Xgimi Aladdin are poised to redefine home entertainment, offering cutting-edge technology and innovative features for a captivating viewing experience.
