Introduction: Limit of 65 Inches

No matter how big OLED TV you buy, there is a limit to installation space. And black screen when power is OFF is noise as interior.

In case of projector, 150-inch wall becomes movie theater in an instant, and returns to just a wall when power is turned off. “Absence of Presence” is the best spec.

1. The Projector King: XGIMI Horizon Ultra

“Projectors are dark, blurry, and noisy.” That common sense is a thing of the past.

XGIMI HORIZON Ultra 4K

Dual Light technology (Laser + LED) achieves both color gamut and brightness. Keystone correction and autofocus are fully automatic. Even features function to adjust color according to wall color, beautiful even without screen. Equipped with Android TV, one unit for Netflix and YouTube.

Dolby Vision & Atmos

First in world to support Dolby Vision as home projector. Contrast of that “Jet Black” and “Dazzling” is reproduced on home wall.

2. The Personal IMAX: VR Headsets

If you are single or value alone time, even physical screen is unnecessary.

  • Apple Vision Pro / Quest 3: If you choose Movie Theater Mode, it is a real theater. Seat position and screen size are free.
  • Privacy: No one knows what you are watching.

3. Comparison: Wall or Space

項目 XGIMI Horizon Ultra VR Headset
Screen Size Max 200 inch (Wall dependent) Infinite (Space dependent)
Shared Experience Watch with family Solitary
Image Quality 4K (Depends on ambient light) 4K (Total blackout)
Comfort Wear nothing Heavy

4. Audio: 50% of Video is Sound

Projector without good speakers is worse than TV with poor image quality.

  • Soundbar: Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is recommended. Compact, supports Dolby Atmos, and wiring is simple.
  • Headphones: If late at night, use noise canceling headphones (Sony WH-1000XM5).

Conclusion: Respect for Content

Movie directors and creators make works assuming they will be watched on huge screens. Watching movies on smartphone screen is an act lacking respect for them (I won’t say that much, but it’s a waste).

Turn your home into a “Theater”. If you prepare popcorn, it is no longer everyday life.
