Our Verdict
XGIMI HORIZON
BenQ X3000i
The BenQ X3000i is much better than the XGIMI HORIZON. The BenQ is brighter and has better contrast, and it also projects a sharper image due to its 4k pixel-shifting technology. The BenQ has a 1.3x optical zoom, so you can adjust the projection's size without moving the projector. The BenQ is also vastly more accurate than the XGIMI before and after calibration. Finally, the BenQ has advanced gaming features, as it can play games at either 4k @ 60Hz or 1080p @ 240Hz with low input lag.
