Our Verdict
XGIMI Horizon S Max
NexiGo TriVision Ultra
The XGIMI Horizon S Max is far superior to the NexiGo TriVision Ultra, both for movies and for gaming. They are similar in brightness, but the XGIMI has deeper contrast and a slightly wider color gamut, giving it a punchier look in any room. The XGIMI is also very accurate out of the box, while the NexiGo is extremely inaccurate. For gaming, they're nearly identical if you game at 4k @ 60Hz. The big difference is when gaming at 1080p, where the XGIMI's input lag is far lower than the NexiGo's. Finally, while the NexiGo has a carry handle, the XGIMI counters with a rotating built-in stand. The XGIMI also has a fully featured smart OS, while the NexiGo requires a dongle if you want any apps.
