Xgimi Titan Noir Max review
Xgimi's new flagship 4K projector is absolutely stunning. It's incredibly bright, has fabulous optics and gorgeous build quality. It's also extraordinarily expensive and, if gaming is the remit, Xgimi's own Horizon 20 4K model offers most of the important features including lens shift for less than a third the price.

Once in a while, something comes along that recalibrates your expectations and also sort of ruins your enjoyment of what was once impressive. The Xgimi Titan Noir Max does just that. It makes mainstream projectors look positively pedestrian.
That's not to say it's perfect. There are a few niggles that take the triple-laser shine off this $5,000 beast, especially for gaming. But Xgimi's new big-screen beamer is an absolute stunner and deeply, deeply desirable.
The basics begin with triple-laser RGB technology that's good for an eye-popping 7,000 lumens. That's combined, inevitably, with DLP and pixel-shift tech to deliver full 4K resolution at 60 Hz, plus 1080p at up to 240 Hz. Running at the latter setting, Xgimi claims that the Titan Noir Max is good for just 1 ms of latency.
0.98-2.0:1 throw ratio, ±130% vertical and ±50% horizontal lens shift
RGB triple-laser, auto-focus, Dolby Vision, anti-rainbow effect, 3x HDMI, optical and 3.4mm audio
✅ You have money to burn: If money is no object, this incredible beamer won't disappoint. It's incredibly bright and oh-so precise.
❌ Gaming is your priority: Xgimi's own Horizon 20 projector has most of the important gaming features for a fraction of the price.
That makes it a pretty plausible proposition for online gaming and esports, at least in terms of response. The ergonomics of playing Counter-Strike on a projector might be pretty questionable, but in performance terms, well, the Titan Noir Max delivers the numbers.
