Early Prime Day deals are already heating up, but this one caught my attention for all the right reasons. The XGIMI Horizon Pro, a highly-rated 4K projector that normally sells for $1,699.99, is now just $899.99 at Amazon. And if you're like me—someone who wants big-screen wow factor without going down a rabbit hole of ceiling mounts, AV receivers, and blackout curtains—this is one deal you probably shouldn’t ignore.
The Horizon Pro is a true 4K smart projector packed into a sleek, compact chassis that can sit on a shelf, table, or even follow you into the backyard for movie night under the stars. It combines bright visuals, surprisingly capable built-in sound, and plug-and-play convenience.
Here's the short list of why it caught my eye:
In other words, this isn’t some dusty office projector you borrow to show PowerPoints. This is a full-blown 4K home theater system in a shoebox-sized package.
What impressed me most when I tested it? The setup. I had the Horizon Pro up and running faster than it takes to build an IKEA chair.
All I did was plug it in, aim it at a wall, and it immediately sprang into action—auto-focus locked the image into crisp clarity, auto-keystone corrected the tilt, and it even avoided the bookshelf partially in its path. It felt like magic.
With Android TV 10 baked in, I signed into my apps—Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max—and was streaming a 4K movie in under 10 minutes. No need for a Fire Stick or external device.
Let’s be real: at under $900, you probably won’t find this kind of clarity. The true 4K resolution (via pixel-shifting DLP) looks razor-sharp on a 100-inch screen. It holds up beautifully in HD content and shines even more with 4K HDR material. Colors are vivid, and with 1500 ISO lumens, the brightness is enough to handle rooms that aren’t fully dark.
That said, like most DLP projectors, you’re not getting OLED-level contrast. Black levels are more dark gray than true black—but unless you’re in a completely pitch-black home theater, it’s not a dealbreaker. For casual viewing, sports, and streaming, it’s excellent.
As for audio, I always tell people: don’t trust projector speakers.
But the Harman Kardon 2×8W stereo speakers inside the Horizon Pro… they’re not just passable—they’re actually good. Dialogue is clear, there’s some bass presence, and it can easily fill a medium-sized room. I still use a Bluetooth speaker or soundbar when I want the full “movie theater” vibe, but for everyday TV or background music, the built-in audio is more than enough.
For those interested in gaming: the Horizon Pro has a low-latency Game Mode that drops input lag to around 35ms, which is solid for casual console play. I tried a few rounds of Rocket League and Fortnite and had no complaints.
Just remember to disable auto keystone and screen alignment features if you want the lowest latency.
Where it falls short? Well, no projector is perfect, especially at its original price of $1,699, so let’s keep it honest:
Still, these feel like nitpicks considering what you're getting for the current under $900 price.
The XGIMI Horizon Pro launched at $1,699.99, and even today, most retailers still list it for $1,199–$1,499. This $899.99 early Prime Day price is the lowest I’ve ever seen it, by a long shot.
And you’re not getting a “budget” projector here. You’re getting:
If you’ve been on the fence about getting a projector, this is the one that could finally make the jump easy.
At $899.99 at Amazon, the XGIMI Horizon Pro is a crazy good deal for what it offers.
It’s perfect for:
I’ll say it plainly: Reach for your wallet. This is one of those rare Prime Day deals that feels like a no-brainer. It’s a one-box solution that delivers 90% of what most people want from a home theater, without the 10 hours of setup and $3,000 price tag.
