Our Verdict
Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2
XGIMI HORIZON 20 Max
The XGIMI HORIZON 20 Max is better than the Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2. The Valerion is a solid performer, but the XGIMI has it beat in almost every facet: brightness, contrast, and out-of-the-box color accuracy. The XGIMI also has lower input lag, making it a better pick for gamers. The one advantage of the Valerion is that it's less noisy under load.
