Weird but almost wonderful projectors are like buses, it seems: you wait an age for one, and then two come along at once. For hot on the heels of the strikingly high-end ultra short throw Leica Cine 1 we reviewed just days ago, we now find ourselves gawping at the unique form of the Xgimi Horizon Ultra: a near cubic projector clad in leather (seriously) and equipped with a brand new so-called ‘Dual Light’ optical system.
The design is intended to make the Horizon Ultra less of an imposition on your living room, of course, while the innovative light system combines lasers and LEDs to deliver what Xgimi claims will be a brighter, more colourful but also more relaxing viewing experience. All of which makes Xgimi’s latest projector a potentially seriously interesting addition to the bustling home cinema scene – provided, of course, Xgimi has managed to nail its innovations at the first time of asking.
