Our Verdict

NexiGo Aurora Pro

Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

The Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2 is better than the NexiGo Aurora Pro. The Valerion is visibly brighter and is also far more accurate out of the box. Plus, it's also far easier to calibrate than the NexiGo. Furthermore, the NexiGo comes with a barebones smart OS, while the Valerion has a fully functioning Android TV implementation on which you can install apps. The NexiGo is a UST projector, making it more versatile in certain room configurations, although the Valerion does have an optical zoom that lets you adjust the projection distance somewhat.
