XGIMI, manufacturer of high-performance multi-functional smart projectors and laser TVs, has released its hotly-anticipated 4K version of the Horizon projector, called the Horizon Pro 4K Projector with Google TV built in. XGIMI’s new projector is packed with features that make it a must–have for backyard movies or watching TV on a huge screen. It can even project up to a 300-inch screen size without much degradation. “We recommend, for the best experience, up to 150 inches because that is normal size. Everything after that is gigantic,” said Andres Gomez of XGIMI.
As emblazoned on each side of the Horizon Pro, the projector features a pair of 8-watt Harman Kardon speakers inside. Users will not get a true surround sound experience from them, but they are both more than loud enough to fill a room. They also offer excellent range and solid bass performance without ever distorting. With Google TV on board, XGIMI has included a fully-featured media remote with a tasteful brushed metal body. Users not only get all the buttons they need to navigate Google TV, including shortcuts for Google Assistant, a back button, and quick access to the home screen, but XGIMI has also included a dedicated button for triggering the projector’s manual or auto focus modes, which should be mandatory if, like the Horizon Pro, a physical focus wheel isn’t included on the projector itself. A limited set of redundant controls can also be found atop the projector, including quick access to volume, but as a rule users will not want the included remote to ever go missing.
