Project development in the field of projectors is taking an unexpected turn, and I'm more than eager to be a part of it.

Xgimi, a leading name in the projector market, has unveiled its latest offering - the Horizon 20 Max. This new entry in the home-cinema projector market is making waves for its impressive features and potential to revolutionise the gaming experience.

The Horizon 20 Max boasts an all-new X-Master Red Ring Lens, which promises to deliver a brightness of 5700 ISO lumens. This makes it an ideal choice for large-scale projections, with the ability to project an image size of up to 300 inches. Xgimi is targeting both gamers and movie fans with this versatile device.

At the recently concluded IFA tradeshow in Berlin, the Horizon 20 Max was showcased, and it left a lasting impression. During the demo, the projector displayed impressive brightness and vibrancy. A gaming setup with Assassin's Creed Shadows was available at Xgimi's booth, and the gameplay appeared judder-free, offering a truly immersive gaming experience.

The handling of contrast on the Horizon 20 Max appears to have been improved, ensuring a more realistic and engaging visual experience. The projector supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, and has native Netflix support, further enhancing its appeal to movie enthusiasts and gamers alike.

Xgimi's Horizon 20 Max is not just a powerful projector; it's a portable one too. The Horizon 20 Max is a sibling of the less pricey Horizon 20 Pro and Horizon 20, offering similar features in a more compact form. The Xgimi Mogo 4, another portable offering from Xgimi, is the go-to tabletop projector for many, including this writer, due to its versatility and portability, making it a constant companion for travels or hosting friends with a Nintendo Switch 2.

While the picture and sound quality of the Horizon 20 Max still need to be tested in Xgimi's test rooms, initial impressions suggest that it is a promising contender in the market. The projector's ability to play games at framerates up to 240Hz only in 1080p, not 4K, is a slight drawback, but it does not detract from its overall appeal.

In a market where specialist gaming projectors are becoming increasingly popular, Xgimi's latest range, including the Horizon 20 Max, may signal a trend towards more such offerings in the future. The Horizon 20 Max, priced at $2499, is much more palatable compared to the LG C5's launch price of £3800 / $3699 / AU$5999, making it an attractive option for many.

In conclusion, the Xgimi Horizon 20 Max is a promising new entry in the home-cinema projector market. Its impressive features, versatility, and competitive pricing make it a projector worth considering for both gamers and movie fans.
