2 year long term review
By Nelson A. on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2025
I have tested several projectors a couple of years ago and this was by far the best performer amongst the contenders. I have tested cheapo ones $100 price range to $400 price range Nebulas, Epsons and others around $600 and this one. I was torn between this and the Epson EF12. The sound in the Epson was better, but the image quality and brightness on the Xgimi wins. Also, the Epson had a terrible latency for games while the Xgimi has very low latency and makes gaming very fun. We play Nintendo switch and PS4 connected to this projector and a huge screen make a great experience. Racing games with a racing wheel are amazing on our 110” projector screen. My only gripe is the remote control is not backlit. Very annoying when watching a movie in the dark and I want to hit the volume button but accidentally hit the home button. Tip: I use this in our family room as well as on our outdoor patio. I have fixed setup on both places using photo camera mounts. I mounted one photo camera mount on the projector and I have two receiving mounts mounted on projector ceiling pole one in our family room and one on outside patio. I can easily take this projector outside for watching movies with kids, parties etc. Note: I dropped mine one time, on our outdoor patio. It fell from my hands as I was securing it to the ceiling, it bounced off a chair and hit the pavers. The top came off, and the edges were damaged. This was a year ago. I reinstalled the top, taped it and still going strong and no issues. This thing is well made.

Very mixed experience, not for the sophisticated user who knows sound and video

Update March 2024: This item still sits on display next to my living room chair, a reminder of the costly (US$1,600) mistake of purchasing this projector. It lasted 14 months. After its total failure, XGIMI wants $340 in shipping charges, to and from Hong Kong, their only repair facility in the world. There are no supply sources for parts. I have given XGIMI nearly two years to make good in any way and all they offer is for me to spend more money for their products. Initially, I wrote an 8 page review after trying this XGIMI projector in the same house with an Epson Home Theater 3800. The latter is a complete work of mature technology delivering what it promises well and reliably. It is truly easy to use. The XGIMI is not a joy to use. It tauts 4K quality and Dolby sound, but it has neither Dolby Atmos nor Dolby Vision. It has insufficient contrast to operate during the daytime with good quality images. My other projectors do fine in the same location. It is terrible with lower quality streams, excellent with some high quality streams, at night in an unlit living room if you can use yours that way. We are using our 9th and 10th projectors. The first two are Epsons whose new bulbs cost more than the projectors are worth, below HD. The others all broke, failed and lie without attention from dodgy companies who do not honor their promises. Optoma, BenQ gave us lemons, in particular the former with a laser lamp and now over 1,000 broken pixels. They offer a request station for RMAs online but no way to get an RMA and no help pushing from the ninth month over into the 14th month, so no help. We are tired of these expenses and false claims, but we cannot spend every day of our sunset years trying to make things right. We confidently recommend the Epson HT 3800. It is a compromise for those of us who don't have $8,000 to get a reliable and competent projector. So this is a summary. We don't see reviews 8 pages long but wish there were some available.
