In dark environments or dedicated home theaters, models like the Elfin or Halo+ provide excellent results with brightness ranging from 600 to 900 ANSI lumens.

That’s equivalent to approximately 17 years of use at 4 hours per day!

How Much Space Do You Need?

Thanks to short and ultra-short throw lenses, some models like the Aura can deliver a 100" image from just 30 cm (1 foot) away from the wall. Traditional models like HORIZON require around 2–3 meters (6–10 ft) for large screen sizes.

Choosing the Right Projection Screen

While XGIMI’s smart image alignment features make wall projection easy, using a dedicated screen (especially ALR type) can greatly enhance image quality, particularly in bright rooms. Be sure to match screen size to your projector’s throw ratio for optimal results.
