Get ready for another cutting-edge XGIMI projector.
The new XGIMI Horizon Max boasts IMAX Enhanced certification, a motorized gimbal, and an insane projection quality.
It’s an interesting product that should undercut Sony’s IMAX Enhanced projectors while offering a more stylish design.

The Horizon Max is a direct upgrade to theHorizon Ultra, which we reviewed last year.
That’s a 35% increase in brightness.
Evidently, these upgrades helped the Horizon Max achieveIMAX Enhancedcertification.
IMAX Enhanced aims to bring IMAX picture quality, aspect ratio, and sound into the home theater.
Just know that IMAX Enhanced is a fairly niche standard.
A compatible AVR is also required for IMAX PPS audio.
I’m also compelled to mention the Horizon Max’s design, which feels very retro.
It reminds me of those old wood-grain GE clock radios.
Anyway, XGIMI is still holding back some of the Horizon Max’s specs, including its video resolution!
Note thatSony’s IMAX Enhanced projectorssell for anywhere between $4,000 and $20,000.
The Horizon Max will make an appearance at CES 2024.
We’ll make a run at learn more as we attend CES this week.
