Our Verdict
XGIMI HORIZON Ultra
Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2
The Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2 is noticeably better than the XGIMI HORIZON Ultra. They're about equally as bright, but the Valerion has far better contrast, with a noticeably wider color gamut, which is especially noticeable in HDR content. The XGIMI is, however, a bit more accurate out of the box, but the Valerion is easier to calibrate. If you're planning on carrying the unit around, the XGIMI is smaller and lighter, but the Valerion comes with a robust carrying case. Gamers will appreciate the Valerion's high refresh rate gaming capabilities, such as 1080p @ 120Hz and 240Hz support, while the XGIMI is limited to 60Hz.
