A projector is one of the few upgrades that can make your living room look completely different overnight. Not “a little better,” but “How is this my house?” different – especially when you talk about a screen diagonal of up to 200 inches. The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra 4K projector is on $998.99A 41% discount out of $1,699.99. If you’ve been tempted by a big TV but don’t want to spend money on a flagship TV, this deal is a compelling shortcut to a true home theater experience.
What you get
This is a 4K home theater projector with Dolby Vision support, rated at 2300 ISO lumens, and two built-in 12W Harman Kardon speakers. It also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, uses a dual light setup, offers active 3D, and is marketed for projection sizes up to 200 inches.
In practice, you get a projector that is designed for modern streaming and cinema formats and whose brightness is better than entry-level models (especially in rooms where it is not pitch black). The built-in speakers don’t replace a dedicated surround system, but they can be “good enough” to get you started without having to buy audio equipment outright.
Why it’s worth it
The story here is the price. The drop to $998.99 is a significant change from the typical “premium projector” tier and brings a feature-rich model into a category where many people compare it to a mid-range TV.
A few realistic reasons why this can be a good buy:
- Large screen value: If you want that “cinema scale” look, projectors deliver that at a price that larger-sized TVs struggle to match.
- Flexible setup: You can create a theatrical atmosphere without having to commit to a permanent giant chalkboard on the wall.
- Instant wow factor: Movies, sports and games seem more like an event simply because of their size.
A handy note: Projectors work best when you control the light. If your room is bright during the day, you can make the most of it in the evening or with the blinds drawn.
The end result
At $998.99The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra is a good value if you’re looking for a modern 4K projector with Dolby Vision support and the ability to go to a really big screen without spending money on premium TV. If you mostly watch TV in bright daylight with lots of windows, you may be happier with a TV. However, if your goal is a “movie night at home” with a huge screen, this deal is absolutely worth considering.
