The XGIMI MIRA Pro is a triple-laser DLP projector with a pixel-shifted 4k resolution. It's a brighter version of the standard XGIMI MIRA, offering the same ultra-short-throw design. Its 0.175:1 throw ratio lets you place it close to your wall or screen while projecting an image ranging from 80 to 120 inches. It lacks optical zoom and lens shift, but autofocus and automatic keystone correction help with setup. Google TV is built in, giving you access to popular streaming services without a separate streaming device, and it has gaming features such as 1080p @ 240Hz and VRR. It has three HDMI ports, one with eARC support for connecting a compatible soundbar, and supports passthrough for common DTS and Dolby audio formats. For built-in audio, it has a 36W Harman Kardon speaker system with two 8W full-range speakers and a 20W subwoofer.
Our Verdict
The XGIMI MIRA Pro is good for a home theater. Its very good contrast produces deep blacks in dark scenes and maintains enough depth in bright scenes to keep the image from looking flat. It can remove judder from 24p content, but enabling this feature drops the resolution to 1080p, forcing you to choose between sharper detail and smoother motion. It can't remove judder from European 25p content, either. Colors look vibrant, and great out-of-the-box accuracy helps movies stay true to the filmmaker's intent. The projector also runs quietly, so fan noise isn't distracting during quieter scenes. Its good brightness produces a punchy image in a dark room, but noticeable color flashes may bother viewers sensitive to the rainbow effect.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro is mediocre for outdoor use. Its good brightness allows it to handle a moderate amount of glare, so you don't have to wait until the sun has fully set before watching a movie. However, its fairly large size, lack of a built-in battery, and limited setup flexibility make it less convenient to use outdoors. Without lens shift or a zoom lens, you'll need to spend some time positioning it correctly. Fortunately, autofocus takes care of focusing the lens for you, and automatic keystone correction can help if you can't center the projector with the surface you're projecting onto. Just keep in mind that using keystone correction too aggressively can negatively impact picture quality.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro is decent for bedrooms. It lacks setup features like lens shift and a zoom lens, so setting it up takes some time, making it inconvenient to move between your living room and bedroom regularly. However, it has autofocus and automatic keystone correction to help straighten the image if you can't center it with your screen or wall. Since relying too heavily on keystone correction negatively affects image quality, it's best to center the projector with your screen as much as possible. Fortunately, it operates quietly, so fan noise won't distract you when watching a movie or show at low volume.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro is excellent for gaming. It supports 4k @ 60Hz and refresh rates up to 240Hz at 1080p, giving you a choice between sharper visuals and smoother motion. Its DLP imaging technology minimizes motion blur, while low input lag keeps gameplay responsive. Colors look rich and vibrant in games, and its very good contrast provides enough depth to keep the image from looking flat. It also delivers a punchy image in a dark room and is bright enough to handle some glare in a moderately lit room.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro has very good contrast. Blacks are deep in dark scenes, so the image doesn't look washed out. It also maintains fairly deep blacks in bright scenes, keeping the image from looking flat. The projector also has an optional Dynamic Black Level Enhancement setting to further deepen blacks.
Very good contrast in all scenes.
The XGIMI MIRA Pro has sub-par portability. It's smaller than many other ultra-short-throw projectors and fairly easy to move between rooms, but it's still too bulky to take with you on the go regularly. It also lacks a carrying case, built-in handle, and lens protection, making it less suited to frequent transport. Setup flexibility is limited as well, since there's no lens shift or zoom lens, so you'll need to physically reposition the projector to adjust the image size and center it with your screen. Autofocus and automatic keystone correction help simplify setup, but relying too heavily on keystone correction can negatively impact image quality.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro has fantastic colors overall. Colors are rich and vibrant in all types of content thanks to its outstanding color volume. It also has great color accuracy out of the box, so it doesn't require calibration if you care about the filmmaker's intent. There are still some minor inaccuracies, like whites having a bit of a yellow tint to them, but this is subtle and can be fixed with calibration if it bothers you.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro has excellent gaming responsiveness. You can play at 4k @ 60Hz or switch to 1080p for refresh rates up to 240Hz, letting you prioritize image sharpness or smoother motion. While input lag isn't as low as on many TVs and monitors, gameplay still feels responsive, especially at higher refresh rates. Its DLP imaging technology keeps motion blur to a minimum, and VRR helps reduce screen tearing.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The XGIMI MIRA Pro doesn't have any variants and is only available in one color, which XGIMI calls Moonlight Sand. There's also the standard XGIMI MIRA, which we've also reviewed, and it offers very similar overall performance but is dimmer than the Pro model. Our results below don't apply to the standard model, though.
| Projector | Advertised Brightness | Advertised Contrast With DBLE Enabled | Throw Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| XGIMI MIRA | 2,000 ISO lumens | 20,000:1 | 0.175:1 |
| XGIMI MIRA Pro | 3,000 ISO lumens | 20,000:1 | 0.175:1 |
Our unit was manufactured in China in July 2026.
Popular Projector Comparisons
The XGIMI MIRA Pro is a great ultra-short throw (UST) projector that outperforms other UST models in its price range. Most UST projectors struggle with out-of-the-box color accuracy, but this is one of the few that provides accurate colors, so it respects the filmmaker's intent without requiring calibration. It has better image quality and gaming performance than the similarly priced Hisense PT1. It even offers better overall performance than the more expensive NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII, so it's truly one of the best UST options at its price point. If you're okay with a dimmer model, you can save some money by going with the standard XGIMI MIRA, but the cost difference between the standard model and the Pro version isn't significant, and the Pro's extra brightness can go a long way toward making the image look punchy.

The XGIMI MIRA Pro and the AWOL Vision Aetherion Pro each have their own strengths, so the better option comes down to what you value most. The XGIMI is brighter, so the image looks punchier in a dark room, and it can handle more glare in a moderately lit room without looking washed out. It also has much better color accuracy out of the box, so it stays truer to the filmmaker's intent. On the other hand, the AWOL has better contrast, resulting in an image with more depth in most scenes. It can also remove judder from its internal apps and modern streaming devices without downscaling the image to 1080p, so you don't have to trade sharpness for smooth motion. Finally, the AWOL has lower input lag, making gaming more responsive.
The XGIMI MIRA Pro is better than the NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII in most ways. The XGIMI is brighter, so it provides a punchier image in a dark room and can withstand more glare in a moderately lit room before looking washed out. It also has significantly more vibrant and accurate colors, and it's easier to set up thanks to its wider selection of automatic screen adaptation tools. The NexiGo doesn't have a built-in smart OS, whereas the XGIMI has Google TV, so you don't need to pair it with an external streaming device. On the other hand, the NexiGo has better contrast, resulting in an image with more depth. The NexiGo can also remove judder from modern devices without dropping the resolution to 1080p.
The XGIMI MIRA and the XGIMI MIRA Pro are nearly identical overall, but the Pro model is brighter. This extra brightness provides a punchier image in a dark room, and it can withstand some glare in a moderately lit room without looking washed out.
