XGIMI Aura 2 vs Formovie Theater Premium
Every published specification for both, with the brightness standard shown beside each figure and the screen geometry worked out from each maker’s own throw ratio. Rows where the two differ are tinted.
XGIMI
XGIMI Aura 2
XGIMI's laser TV built around its Dual Light 2.0 engine, which mixes a laser and an LED source to widen the gamut without full tri-laser speckle.
Best for: A living room where the cabinet has to look like a piece of furniture
Formovie
Formovie Theater Premium
A tri-laser UST tuned for a dark room rather than a bright one: 2,200 ISO lumens, Dolby Vision, and a Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
Best for: A film-first laser TV in a room that can be dimmed

XGIMI Aura 2: what it gives up
- 2,300 ISO lumens is modest for a laser TV that will face daylight
- XGIMI publishes no contrast figure and no input-lag figure
- 32 dB is louder than most laser TVs here
- 60 Hz only, with just two HDMI inputs
- The cabinet is 19.8 lb of fabric-wrapped furniture that has to be aligned to the wall and then left where it is
Formovie Theater Premium: what it gives up
- 2,200 ISO lumens is the dimmest tri-laser UST here — a bright room will defeat it
- 3,000:1 native contrast, so an ALR screen is still required
- 60 Hz, with no published input lag
- Formovie's US service network is thinner than Hisense's or Samsung's
