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 in normal mode; three of the laser TVs here run quieter
  • 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 modest for a laser TV — 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
