XGIMI has officially launched the HORIZON 20 in Australia, bringing what the company calls its most advanced all-in-one home projector to the local market. Priced at $3,999 AUD including GST, the HORIZON 20 combines RGB triple laser technology with cinema certifications and gaming-focused features that should appeal to both movie enthusiasts and competitive gamers.
The projector’s core technology centres around XGIMI’s X-Master RGB Triple Laser system, which differs from single-laser models by using three separate lasers for colour reproduction. This approach aims to deliver more accurate colours without the image degradation that can occur with colour wheel systems. The HORIZON 20 pushes out 3200 ISO lumens and supports 4K Ultra HD resolution, making it suitable for rooms that aren’t completely blacked out.
On the cinema side, XGIMI has secured several important certifications including IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Filmmaker Mode. These ensure that content displays with the colour grading and creative intent that directors and cinematographers originally envisioned. The built-in Harman Kardon speakers handle audio duties without requiring an external sound system, though serious home theatre setups will likely still want a dedicated soundbar or surround system.
Installation flexibility comes through the lens shift feature, which offers vertical adjustment up to 120 percent and horizontal adjustment up to 45 percent. This means you can position the projector off-centre or at awkward angles and still get a properly aligned image without the trapezoidal distortion that typically ruins cheaper projectors. The automatic setup takes care of focus and screen alignment, removing the tedious manual adjustments that usually come with projector ownership.
Where the HORIZON 20 really pushes beyond traditional home cinema projectors is in gaming performance. The unit supports a 240Hz refresh rate and delivers 1ms input lag, which puts it in competitive gaming territory. Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode are both included, matching the features you’d expect from a gaming-focused display. The projector can throw an image up to 300 inches, creating a gaming experience that simply isn’t possible with even the largest TVs.
Google TV comes pre-installed, giving direct access to streaming apps without needing an external device. This keeps cable management simpler and means one less remote to juggle during movie night.
XGIMI Australia has positioned the HORIZON 20 as a no-compromise solution that eliminates the need for separate components or complex installation. Whether that holds true will depend on individual setup requirements and expectations, but the spec sheet certainly covers most bases that home cinema and gaming users would prioritise.
The XGIMI HORIZON 20 is available now through select Harvey Norman stores, XGIMI’s flagship locations in Sydney and Melbourne, and directly from xgimi.com.au for A$3,999 AUD including GST.
