What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the XGIMI AURA for delivering a premium, convenient large-screen viewing experience. Its exceptional brightness and vibrant 4K resolution provide impressive detail, rivaling high-end televisions. A significant highlight is the integrated Harman Kardon sound system, which is powerful enough to eliminate the immediate need for an external soundbar, simplifying the setup considerably. While the Android TV interface occasionally shows minor sluggishness and input lag limits competitive gaming, the overall consensus celebrates this projector as a transformative lifestyle solution. It successfully merges high fidelity with ease of use, making it a highly recommended home theater choice.
Know before you buy
As an ultra-short throw projector, the AURA can sit just inches from your wall or screen. To achieve a 100-inch image, you only need to place the unit approximately 10.6 inches away from the projection surface.
While you can project onto a flat, white wall, using an ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen specifically designed for ultra-short throw projectors is highly recommended. This will significantly improve contrast and color vibrancy, especially in rooms with some ambient light.
Yes, the AURA features two HDMI ports, one of which supports eARC for high-quality audio passthrough to a soundbar or receiver. You can easily connect gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, or streaming sticks via the HDMI or USB ports.
The integrated 60W Harman Kardon system is quite powerful and provides clear, room-filling audio that outperforms most built-in TV speakers. For a true cinematic experience, however, you may still prefer to connect a dedicated surround sound system via the eARC HDMI port.
Yes, the XGIMI AURA is 3D ready. You will need to purchase compatible active shutter 3D glasses separately to view 3D movies and content.
The AURA features 8-point and 4-point keystone correction, which makes it very straightforward to square up your image. This allows you to adjust the corners and edges individually to ensure a perfectly rectangular picture even if the projector isn't perfectly centered.
