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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
