Beautiful image and a great UST projector
I’ve been using my new Nexigo Aurora Pro for several weeks now, coupled with a Nothing Projector 120″ ALR motorized retracting screen. If you don’t want to read any more, know that this projector provides a beautiful image, especially on a screen designed to make the most of it.AMBIENT LIGHTThe room I am in has quite a number of windows, and so there is ambient light in the room. However, none of it is direct on the screen area, and I have a number of trees that help diffuse significant bright sunlight.Before my screen was delivered, I projected directly on a wall for a couple of weeks. During the day under this circumstance, the image was always visible, but very dark scenes in movies or games could be difficult to view. At night or when overcast, the image was very good even in darker scenes.Once the ALR screen was installed, light stopped being a problem during the day under all conditions. Movies, shows, and games all look great at any time of day,The only light issue that can cause any issues is if I turn on bright lights directly at the opposite end of the room, in our kitchen. This is directly in line with the screen and provides the most direct light I can create. Even then, the image is still quite watchable, but it performs best with indirect light in the room (I often have a small lamp on to provide some ambient light at night, for instance).In the photos, I had two lamps on in my large open living room/kitchen/dining space. While a screen is difficult to capture a photo of, you can see that the image is crisp and clean even with some light in the room.OPERATIONThe projector is easy to use. Some settings are accessed through a dedicated setting menu on the home page, where you can also choose HDMI inputs. Additional settings are accessed through the remote at any time.The remote feels of very good quality, and is enjoyable to use. It has backlit keys, and feels like a much more premium remote than most electronics come with.Setup is not hard, but can be slightly fiddly to get the image squared, as much of the adjustment is done by physically adjusting the placement of the projector. This is inherent to all UST projectors.SOUNDSound is fine, but not spectacular, from the projector. My room is large enough that it was not powerful enough, and even in a smaller room I would consider using a better sound system. But it is nice that is can be used as an all-in-one unit for video and sound if desired.PICTUREThe picture is good out of the box. AVS forums has some great guides on how to tweak the settings for the various modes that I found very useful to improve it, but it was very watchable before I tuned the image further.Focus and uniformity seems excellent on my unit.MY SETUPI have the projector mounted on top of a Screen Pro TS620 Motorized Slider Tray, which automatically extends to the right spot when I turn the projector on, and then automatically tucks the projector away when I turn it off.As mentioned, I am using a Nothing Projector 120″ Black Series Motorized Floor Rising Screen. The screen is excellent, and I would say either an ALR screen like this or one of the fixed mounted Fresnel screens Nexigo offers as part of a kit are essential when using a UST projector.For sound, I have a Samsung HW-Q990D Q-Series 11.1.4 ch. Wireless Dolby Soundbar. The sound from this system is an excellent match to the picture of the Nexigo Aurora. I tried several other sound options first, and this was the best I tried by a large mile.CLOSINGThe Nexigo Aurora Pro is a great projector that provides a beautiful large image. Movies, games, and shows are impressive. This projector will turn your home into a theater. If that is the experience you are after, then I would highly recommend it!

Almost Perfect
First. This is a great projector at a great price with a lot of features that has one little flaw. It is very easy to set up and get working. They have a great distance guide so you know where you need to mount your screen and how far from the screen you need to be for your desired screen size. The 1900 Lumens is bright enough on a cheap screen to work in ambient light, but definitely not direct or daylight. I currently only have a cheap screen that is 0.6 gain and grey. When I have my ALR screen in hand, I will update the review but I think it is good information to know what you will get on a cheap screen.Whatever screen you will use needs to be flat. You cannot use a screen that is wavy or has wrinkles/creases. That is the nature of the beast with UST projectors. With a standard grey screen you will have decent blacks and very vibrant colors. The light bleed from other areas will bleed into those blacks, but still very enjoyable.3D – Big seller for me. Would not have purchased without the 3D function. It works great and my DLP link glasses worked flawlessly.HDR – Everything is supported and looks greatAudio – Get a soundbar. The default speakers are usable, but in no way better than what you get from a TV. I didn’t deduct a star because I never expect to not use a soundbar.Connections. 3 HDMI and 1 with EARC support. A+Okay.. the issue that makes me deduct a star. The top corners just never are quite in focus. No amount of adjustment would get it there. The rest of the screen is super sharp. This isn’t a huge deal. it is just the top corners and usually not much information is up there. Except for gaming or sports. It is clear enough that you can read it, but it is just fuzzy.UPDATED REVIEW:I’m not changing my rating, but I did want to update with some information that I discovered. The Projector is capable of Dolby Vision. It is also capable of 4k 60hz and 4k 120hz. Dolby vision is only available on the 4k 60hz. This is important if you are wanting to game with an xbox series x. Enabling Dolby Vision and setting your xbox to 4k/60 will introduce a lot of input latency and the projectors low latency mode cannot overcome it. In fact 4k/60 without dolby vision is just on the edge of acceptable for gaming. I don’t have testing equipment to give numbers, I was doing my testing with MLB the show and trying to hit. There is a very noticeable delay when moving the PCI (and using a wired controller). The good news is that at 4k/120hz (that does not have dolby vision) is amazing and has no noticeable input lag. You do get HDR10, but the graphics with HDR10 are not as nice as with Dolby Vision for gaming.

Einwandfreies Gerät!Viele Einstellmöglichkeiten – Bild lässt sich perfekt justierenGeniale Bildqualität

Il proiettore avrebbe tutte le carte in regola per essere uno dei migliori in circolazione al miglior prezzo, gli amanti del cinema troveranno un nero paragonabile ai migliori TV Oled, impressionante. Purtroppo però alla fine l’ho dovuto rendere. In tante recensioni positive non ho mai trovato nessuno che parlasse del software smart integrato, andrebbe anche bene non fosse che l’app principale (Netflix) non funziona, si blocca all’avvio. Tra l’altro è appena uscito un aggiornamento software e nulla è cambiato, un vero peccato. Altra cosa che non capisco è il motivo per cui non proietta contenuti in streaming 4k, funziona solo inserendo una Amazon Fire TV 4k (o altro prodotto simile). MA LA COSA PIU’ GRAVE che mi ha costretto al reso si vede bene nell’immagine, lo sfondo che vedete dovrebbe essere nero, invece è rosso acceso. Questo rosso rimane in modo meno evidente su tutte le proiezioni, fastidiosissimo e ovviamente inguardabile. L’ho resettato più volte senza successo, guardando il laser si vede proprio che è rosso non capisco cosa è successo perchè nei primi 10gg andava benissimo. Insomma facendo un pò la tara di tutto (anche di altre piccolezze) mi sembra un prodotto troppo giovane e immaturo, onestamente non mi sono fidato a ricomprarlo e ho virato sul Awol 3000 pro che ha un nero meno profondo ma è molto più luminoso di giorno. Un vero peccato.

Der Projektor liefert ein ganz ausgezeichnetes und farbenfrohes Bild. Ich bin damit rundherum zufrieden. Selbst die Helligkeit im nicht-abgedunkelten Raum empfinde ich als ausreichend. Mein voriger Fernseher, ein Samsung OLED, war unterm Strich auch nicht wirklich besser. Der Fernseher war nur anders schlecht. Wo das Bild des Beamers durch ‚auswaschen‘ weniger brillant ist, war der Fernseher eben durch Reflektionen schlecht zu sehen. Dafür habe ich mit dem Beamer Ganztags ein viel größeres Bild und ab dem Abend die viel besseren Farben noch dazu.Als Sahnehäubchen verschwindet die leere, schwarze, Box aus meinem Wohnzimmer wenn der Fernseher aus bleibt.Für mich ist das ein super Deal! Würde ich wieder kaufen.Die Firmware ist gut und wird gepflegt. Kürzlich kam noch HDR10+ via Update. Apps sollen nicht so toll sein, habe ich aber auch nicht getestet da das kein Anwendungsfall für mich ist. Medien spiele ich via ATV und HTPC über meinen AVR zu. Sprich, der Beamer fungiert als reines Anzeigegerät. Ich persönlich hätte es nützlicher gefunden sich als Hersteller ehrlich zu machen: wer so ein Geld ausgibt spielt seine Inhalte mit einem FTV Stick oder etwas besserem extern zu. Ich verstehe sowieso den Trend nicht kurzlebige Betriebsysteme/Software mit einen viel langlebigeren Anzeigegerät zu verdongeln. Die Zeit und Ressourcen die für die Bloatware aufgewendet wurden wären besser investiert gewesen bildrelevante Features zu optimieren oder den Preis zu drücken.PS: Einen deutlichen Kritikpunkt (der aber meine Gesamtwertung nicht ändert) muss ich leider noch anbringen: Der Beamer offeriert keine Schnittstellen um ihn in andere System einbinden zu können (z.B. damit die Leinwand automatisch fährt oder Abdunkelung). Nichteinmal einfachste Statusinformationen (z.B. An/Aus, gewählte Quelle). Das ist sehr schade und wäre mMn deutlich nützlicher als noch ein Gerät mit einer mittelprächtig laufenden Netflix-App!Aus reinem Interesse was in dem Formfaktor so möglich ist habe ich die Boxen im Beamer Mal ausprobiert. Vorweg: Mein normales Setup sind 7.2.2 von B&W. Dafür ist der Beamer natürlich kein Gegner. Das der Beamer Atmos dekodiert ist mMn mehr als ein Gimmik zu sehen. Selbst in einem kleinen Raum schafft es der Beamer nicht eine anständige Klangbühne aufzubauen (von Atmos/Spatial brauchen wir gar nicht reden!). Nicht einmal ein richtiger Stereo-Effekt stellt sich ein. Auch im Bereich Bass ist das Ergebnis eher mau (hätte aufgrund des Formfaktors etwas mehr erwartet). Auch wenn ich es nicht gemessen habe (und auch nicht werde) -> unter 200Hz dürfte er ernsthaft nicht kommen und alles unter 4/500 Hz ist schon im Bereich gewollt aber nicht so richtig gekonnt.Selbst bei recht moderaten Lautstärken (im OSD alles über 16/17) empfand ich den Ton nicht mehr als angenehm. Teilweise schon in den Bereich ‚schrill‘ driftend.Mein Fazit: Bei Zimmerlautstärke den meisten Fernsehern überlegen. Mit mittel bepreisten Soundbars könnte er vielleicht auch noch mithalten. Wer hingegen schon ein mittelgutes paar Stereoboxen hat ist mMn damit besser bedient. Ganz ohne ‚Spatial‘ Audio von dem man hier sowieso nichts hört. Wie ich schon geschrieben habe kommt nicht einmal eine anständige Stereo-Bühne zustande.Overall: Da ich ausschließlich ein gutes Anzeigegerät gesucht habe bin ich äußerst glücklich und würde den Beamer wieder kaufen. Ob die anderen Punkte eine Rolle spielen muss jeder Käufer für sich selbst beantworten.
