Our Verdict

XGIMI HORIZON Pro

BenQ HT3560

The BenQ HT3560 is a bit better than the XGIMI HORIZON Pro, although the XGIMI comes with a smart OS and wireless features, while the BenQ doesn't. Still, the BenQ has slightly better contrast, is vastly more accurate, and has 1080p @ 240Hz support for gamers, making it somewhat more well-rounded; just make sure you get a streaming dongle if you care about watching content from streaming apps.
