Features

Dual Light 2.0 laser + LED engine
0.18 throw ratio
60 W Harman Kardon, four drivers
Dolby Vision
Android TV
Auto wall alignment

What it does well

The hybrid laser-LED engine widens the gamut while avoiding the speckle of pure tri-laser
A 0.18 throw ratio is among the shortest here, so the cabinet sits tight to the wall
60 W across four Harman Kardon drivers
Dolby Vision support and licensed Android TV
2,300 lumens measured to ISO 21118, the stricter standard

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

Throw calculator

Worked from this projector’s published throw ratio of 0.18:1. Estimates: a real install loses a little to lens offset, and zoom ranges are quoted at the extremes of the lens.

16:9 diagonals, estimated from the published throw ratio: image width = distance ÷ throw ratio, diagonal = width ÷ 0.8716. The maths.
