The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is a triple laser DLP projector that features a pixel-shifted 4k resolution. It sits at the top of XGIMI's TITAN Noir lineup, above the TITAN Noir Pro. It's a big and heavy projector that's designed to be a fixture in your home theater or living room, but it does come with a leather carrying case if you have to take it on the go. It has a ton of setup features, such as a motorized zoom lens and lens shift, and it also offers a wide variety of screen adaptation features like keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and autofocus. The projector has a 5-step manual iris adjustment, which allows you to adjust the balance between the depth of blacks and brightness, and it can project an image anywhere from 40 to 300 inches. It doesn't have a built-in smart OS, so it requires an external device to watch movies and shows. It has three HDMI 2.1 ports and offers a ton of gaming features, such as 4k @ 60Hz, 1080p @ 240Hz, VRR to reduce screen tearing, and low input lag.

Our Verdict

0.0
Home Theater 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is exceptional for a home theater. It has superb, consistent contrast, so the image has solid depth in both dark and bright scenes. It removes judder from most streaming devices, leading to smooth motion. However, motion looks choppy when watching 25p international content from a device that outputs a 60Hz signal. Its outstanding color volume makes colors look rich and vibrant, while its very good out-of-the-box color accuracy only suffers from a slightly cool image that can be fixed with calibration. The projector's 'Anti-RBE' feature does an excellent job of minimizing visible color flashes. Its outstanding brightness produces a punchy-looking image in a dark room, and its quiet fan doesn't distract you during quiet scenes. It has a 'Dynamic Black Level Enhancement' feature that further deepens blacks, but it has an issue that causes color shifting and the screen to turn off during very dark scenes.

Pros
  • Colors are incredibly rich and vibrant.

  • Superb contrast leads to solid depth in all scenes.

  • Removes judder from almost all external sources. 

  • Does an excellent job of minimizing the rainbow effect.

  • The projector's fan operates very quietly.

Cons
  • No built-in OS means you need an external streaming device.

  • Dynamic contrast feature has issues in very dark scenes.

0.0
Outdoors 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is decent for outdoors. It's very bright, so you can use it in the evening before the sun completely sets, and the image doesn't look washed out. Unfortunately, it's very heavy and bulky, and it doesn't have a built-in battery, so moving it outdoors is a bit of a hassle. It doesn't have a lens cover or a carrying handle on the projector itself. However, it does come with a heavy-duty case that protects the projector when carrying it. Fortunately, it's easy to set up thanks to its motorized zoom lens and lens shifting. On top of that, it has a ton of screen adaptation features like keystone correction and automatic screen fit, so setting it up is pretty easy since you don't have to perfectly center it with the surface you're projecting onto.

Pros
  • Great setup flexibility and a ton of screen adaptation features make it easy to set up.

  • Outstanding brightness makes it useable in ambient lighting.

Cons
  • Bulky and heavy design makes it inconvenient to carry around.

  • No built-in battery.

  • No built-in OS means you need an external streaming device.

0.0
Bedroom 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is decent for a bedroom. Its biggest downside is that it's bulky and heavy, so it's not convenient to move it from your living room to your bedroom. On the other hand, it has a ton of screen adaptation features like keystone correction, auto focus, and obstacle avoidance. On top of that, it has a motorized zoom lens and lens shifting, so it's fairly easy to set up. Its fan also operates very quietly, so you can watch a show or a movie at a low volume and you won't be distracted or kept awake if you're trying to fall asleep.

Pros
  • Great setup flexibility and a ton of screen adaptation features make it easy to set up.

  • The projector's fan operates very quietly.

Cons
  • Bulky and heavy design makes it inconvenient to carry around.

  • No built-in OS means you need an external streaming device.

0.0
Gaming 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is fantastic for gaming. It offers 4k @ 60Hz and up to 1080p @ 240Hz on all three of its HDMI 2.1 ports, so you have the option of playing with the sharpest image possible or trading some sharpness for clearer motion. It also supports VRR to help reduce screen tearing. The projector offers an impressive combination of outstanding brightness, superb contrast, and very vibrant colors, so games look terrific.

Pros
  • Colors are incredibly rich and vibrant.

  • Superb contrast leads to solid depth in all scenes.

  • Outstanding brightness makes it useable in ambient lighting.

  • Supports 4k @ 60Hz and 1080p @ 240Hz.

  • Supports VRR, ALLM, and has incredibly low input lag.

Cons
0.0
Brightness 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max has outstanding brightness. The image looks very punchy in a dark room, and it's even bright enough to avoid looking washed out in a room with some ambient lighting. Brightness is also very uniform across the screen; the right corner is a bit dimmer than the rest of the image, but this is hard to notice in real content.

Pros
  • Outstanding brightness makes it useable in ambient lighting.

Cons
0.0
Contrast 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max has superb contrast. Blacks are very deep in dark scenes, so the image doesn't look washed out. Furthermore, it does a fantastic job of maintaining deep enough blacks in bright scenes that the image still has solid depth to it. You can deepen blacks even further by using the 'Dynamic Black Level Enhancement' setting, but it has issues that cause the screen to turn off and colors to shift during very dark scenes.

Pros
  • Superb contrast leads to solid depth in all scenes.

Cons
  • Dynamic contrast feature has issues in very dark scenes.

0.0
Portability 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max has poor portability. It's a big and heavy home theater projector that isn't designed with portability in mind, but it does come with a leather carrying case if you ever need to take it on the go. Fortunately, it's easy to set up thanks to its motorized zoom lens, lens shifting, and wide array of screen adaptation tools, so it doesn't have to be centered perfectly with the screen you're projecting onto. You just need access to a power source since it doesn't have a built-in battery.

Pros
  • Great setup flexibility and a ton of screen adaptation features make it easy to set up.

Cons
  • Bulky and heavy design makes it inconvenient to carry around.

  • No built-in battery.

  • No built-in OS means you need an external streaming device.

0.0
Color 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max has great colors overall. Its color volume is outstanding, so movies, shows, and games look incredibly rich and vibrant. It has very good color accuracy out of the box, and most people will be satisfied with how closely it stays to the content creator's intent, but the image does look a bit too cool. If this bothers you, the projector can be calibrated to have excellent accuracy.

Pros
  • Colors are incredibly rich and vibrant.

Cons
  • Colors are slightly too cool out of the box.

0.0
Gaming Responsiveness 

The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max has outstanding responsiveness when using its dedicated gaming mode. It has incredibly low input lag across all refresh rates, so gaming feels very responsive whether you're playing a competitive shooter like Call of Duty or a single-player RPG like Crimson Desert. It supports 4k @ 60Hz on its three HDMI 2.1 ports, and you can drop your resolution to 1080p to game at up to 240Hz. Since it utilizes DLP imaging technology, there isn't excessive motion blur, and it supports VRR to help reduce screen tearing.

Pros
  • Supports 4k @ 60Hz and 1080p @ 240Hz.

  • Supports VRR, ALLM, and has incredibly low input lag.

  • No excessive motion blur.

    Popular Projector Comparisons

    The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is a phenomenal projector that's a truly standout option for home theaters. It offers an impressive combination of outstanding brightness, superb contrast, and incredibly vibrant colors, so it provides top-tier image quality in a dark room. It's even bright enough to use in a room with ambient lighting without the image looking faded. Although it's not really designed with portability in mind, it does come with a leather carrying case if you ever need to take it on the go, and its motorized zoom lens, lens shifting, and wide array of screen adaptation features make it easy to set up. On top of that, it has three HDMI 2.1 ports and a ton of gaming features, making it a top-tier projector for playing games.

    The only downside is that there are issues during very dark scenes when using its 'Dynamic Black Level Enhancement' that cause the image to turn off and flash. Outside of that, this is a nearly flawless projector that provides a noticeable improvement in overall image quality over the standard XGIMI TITAN. It competes with a projector like the Valerion VisionMaster Max, but it offers noticeably better contrast and brightness than the Valerion, and the only real reason to choose the Valerion is if you need a built-in smart OS.

    For more options, check out our recommendations for the best 4k projectors, the best projectors for home theaters, and the best projectors overall.

    Valerion VisionMaster Max

    Track

    The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is better than the Valerion VisionMaster Max in most ways. The XGIMI is brighter and has better contrast, so it provides a punchier image with more depth to it. The XGIMI is also better for gaming, since it supports VRR to reduce screen tearing and has significantly lower input lag. Additionally, the XGIMI offers both horizontal and vertical lens shift, while the Valerion is limited to vertical lens shift only, making it easier to set up. The Valerion's primary advantage is its built-in smart OS, since the XGIMI requires an external device to watch content.

    XGIMI HORIZON 20 Max

    Track

    The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max is better than the XGIMI HORIZON 20 Max. The Noir Max offers superior contrast, so blacks are deeper on it, and the image has better depth. The Noir Max removes judder from more sources, and it doesn't need to drop the resolution to 1080p to de-judder. Furthermore, the Noir Max has a quieter fan, does a better job minimizing the rainbow effect, and has three HDMI 2.1 ports. The Noir Max's input lag is also much lower, so gaming feels snappier on it. On the other hand, the XGIMI HORIZON 20 Max comes with Google TV built-in, while the Noir Max needs to be paired with an external streaming device.

    XGIMI TITAN

    Track

    The XGIMI TITAN Noir Max offers a noticeable upgrade over the XGIMI TITAN. The Noir Max displays deeper blacks across almost all scenes, so the image has better depth to it. Colors are more vibrant on the Noir Max, and they're more accurate out of the box. The Noir Max removes judder from more common sources, leading to smoother motion, and it does a better job of avoiding the rainbow effect. Furthermore, the Noir Max is the better option for gaming due to its support for VRR and significantly lower input lag. On the other hand, the XGIMI TITAN is noticeably brighter, making it a bit more suitable for bright rooms.
