Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Aura 3 Pro Shape and Details Revealed: Is the Revolution of 4K/120 Hz UST Projectors Here?
Projection specialist Xgimi is set to shake up the ultra-short throw (UST) market with its new Aura 3 series, launching a Kickstarter campaign on October 20th. The brand unveiled the first Ultra HD 4K 120Hz UST beam projector combining triple RGB laser engine and top-tier technological ambition.
The new lineup centers around two models sharing core visual technology, the Aura 3 Pro and the flagship Aura 3 Max. The Aura 3 Max boasts a brightness of 5,700 lumens (which may be adjusted up or down at the time of the IFA exhibition). This brightness allows it to be tailored for very large spaces.
Boasting an ultra-short throw ratio of 0.163:1, this projector can project a 120-inch (305cm) screen from just 20cm away from the screen. Beyond pure performance, Xgimi has also paid attention to home interior harmony by including the Xgimi Wall application, which transforms the device into an actual decorative digital canvas when not playing movies.
Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: Dynamic Dual Iris Optical System and Controlled Contrast Ratio
At the heart of the Aura 3 series lies the implementation of a unique optical system called Dynamic Dual Iris. By combining a dynamic iris that adjusts in real time according to scene brightness with a second hardware aperture, Xgimi promises deeper black expression and enhanced detail in low-light areas. The manufacturer claims an impressive contrast ratio of 8,000:1. Image processing is handled by a new IA X-Vision intelligent processor, which specifically manages Dynamic Tone Mapping for optimal color reproduction (claimed BT2020 color gamut coverage of 110%).
Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: HDMI 2.1, 4K 120Hz and Cutting-Edge Gaming
The true evolution brought by the Aura 3 Max lies in its management of ultra-high frequency video streams for video games. Based on two DLPC 8545 controllers combined with a 0.47-inch DMD chipset, it is one of the first DLP UST projectors to natively handle Ultra HD 4K 120Hz through its HDMI 2.1 input. Demanding gamers can enjoy a claimed 1ms input lag and boost smoothness up to 240Hz at 1,080p resolution. It also supports VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision Gaming.
Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: Imax Enhanced, Google TV and Harman Kardon Sound
From a cinema perspective, the Aura 3 series supports HDR Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Imax Enhanced as well as standard HDR10 and HDR HLG, meeting all elements of premium HDR formats. Through the presence of Filmmaker Mode and native compatibility with 24, 25, and 50 frames per second, it faithfully reflects the original intent.
Good news for those who enjoy stereo and 3D video, as it includes cinematic 3D functionality with two pairs of active 3D glasses included in the box. Additionally, hardware Anti-RBE technology is integrated to reduce rainbow artifacts in both 2D and 3D. Smart connectivity runs on Netflix-certified Google TV, and sound output is handled by a powerful 80W Harman Kardon system compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X.
Expected launch in late October. Recommended retail price: TBD.
