What Is XGIMI and What Problem Does It Solve?
XGIMI is a projector manufacturer that addresses the need for affordable, large-screen home entertainment without the bulk and cost of a traditional television. Its projectors use advanced laser or LED light sources to deliver bright, high-resolution images in small form factors. The brand’s entry into Malaysia provides consumers with an alternative to established brands like Epson and BenQ, offering integrated smart features such as built-in streaming apps and voice control.
XGIMI’s Horizon Ultra projector delivers 4K resolution at 2,400 ANSI lumens, making it suitable for living rooms with ambient light, a segment previously dominated by large-screen TVs.
How Does XGIMI’s Projector Technology Work?
XGIMI projectors employ either LED or laser phosphor light sources combined with DLP (Digital Light Processing) imaging. The Horizon Ultra uses a dual-light technology that blends laser and LED to achieve a wider color gamut and higher brightness than single-source projectors. Auto-focus and auto-keystone correction are performed by built-in sensors and a dedicated image processor, allowing the projector to be placed off-center and still produce a rectangular image.
XGIMI official press release “Our dual-light technology in the Horizon Ultra delivers 99% of the Rec.709 color space, ensuring cinema-grade color accuracy without the need for a completely dark room.”
According to the press release, the Horizon Ultra achieves a contrast ratio of 1,500:1, which is 50% higher than typical single-laser projectors in the same price bracket.
Which XGIMI Models Are Available in Malaysia?
The Malaysian lineup includes three models: the Horizon Ultra (flagship 4K laser projector), the MoGo 2 Pro (portable 1080p LED projector), and the Halo+ (battery-powered portable projector). The MoGo 2 Pro weighs 1.1 kg and includes a built-in battery for up to 2.5 hours of playback, while the Halo+ offers 1080p resolution and a 3-hour battery life. All models run Android TV 11.0 and support Google Assistant.
The MoGo 2 Pro is priced at RM 1,999, making it the most affordable entry point for XGIMI in Malaysia, targeting users who need a portable home cinema solution.
Who Is This For?
XGIMI projectors are designed for Malaysian consumers who want a large-screen viewing experience (100–150 inches) but lack the space or budget for a 75-inch+ television. The portable models (MoGo 2 Pro, Halo+) suit outdoor movie nights, camping, or small apartments. The Horizon Ultra targets home theater enthusiasts who demand 4K HDR performance without the complexity of a dedicated AV system. The brand also appeals to tech-savvy users who prefer integrated smart TV functionality over external streaming devices.
XGIMI’s market entry in Malaysia fills a gap for mid-range smart projectors, a segment that grew 34% year-over-year in Southeast Asia according to a 2025 report by FutureSource Consulting.

Common Questions
Does XGIMI offer official warranty and service centers in Malaysia?
Yes, XGIMI provides a standard 1-year warranty through its authorized distributor in Malaysia. Service centers are located in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, with additional support via online ticketing. The press release did not specify extended warranty options.
Can XGIMI projectors be used outdoors or in bright rooms?
The Horizon Ultra (2,400 lumens) can produce a watchable image in rooms with moderate ambient light, but for best results, dim lighting is recommended. Portable models like the MoGo 2 Pro (400 lumens) are best used in dark environments. XGIMI does not specify outdoor usage in its official materials.
What is the difference between the MoGo 2 Pro and the Halo+?
The MoGo 2 Pro has a higher brightness (400 vs 300 ANSI lumens) and a shorter battery life (2.5 vs 3 hours). The Halo+ includes a built-in handle and is slightly larger. Both run Android TV 11.0 and support 1080p resolution. The MoGo 2 Pro is priced RM 200 higher.
