Big TVs are a dream for anyone who loves a cinematic experience at home, but they’re not exactly space-friendly. They dominate your living room and often demand a dedicated spot on the wall. That’s where projectors, like XGIMI’s latest innovations, come in to save the day. They offer the same giant-screen experience without the headache of mounting or making permanent design changes. Let’s start with the concept I hope gets offered for sale because it’s functional, beautiful, and brilliant: the XGIMI Ascend.
The XGIMI Ascend concept device
You can think of the XGIMI Ascend as the ultimate space-saving 100″ screen; it’s designed to rise effortlessly from the floor. Paired with the XGIMI Aura 2 ultra short-throw projector, it’s a brilliant solution for those who want a big screen without the commitment of wall-mounted televisions or bulky pull-down screens.

Want to watch the big game? Extend the screen to its full height and enjoy a crisp, bright display that puts stadium seats to shame. Planning a cozy date night? Raise it halfway and project a fireplace, aquarium, or anything else that adds a little ambiance. The floor-rising design also means you don’t need a blank wall or a ceiling-mounted screen—just some free floor space.

The Ascend is still a concept, but its potential to blend cutting-edge tech with real-life practicality is clear. Combined with the Aura 2 projector, which sits just 7″ from the screen and still delivers a 100″ display, this pairing makes home entertainment smarter and sleeker. No more awkward projector placement or someone accidentally blocking the beam!

The XGIMI Aura 2 also brings the visuals to life with Dolby Vision HDR and IMAX Enhanced certification, while its Harman Kardon speakers pump out rich, multidimensional sound.

Starting at $2,699, the Aura 2 turns your living room into a personal IMAX theater—and saves you a trip to the multiplex.

If you’re looking for a less expensive setup that’s also available now, the XGIMI HORIZON S Series offers a more immediate way to bring big-screen magic into your home. However, you’ll need a blank wall or conventional screen to take advantage of them.
The HORIZON S Max and HORIZON S Pro projectors are compact powerhouses designed for stunning, vivid picture quality. Both feature Dual Light 2.0 technology, which combines LED and laser light sources for brighter and more accurate visuals.
XGIMI HORIZON S Pro
The HORIZON S Max takes things up a notch with IMAX Enhanced certification and Dolby Vision HDR, making it perfect for movie buffs who want a true cinematic experience.
XGIMI HORIZON S Max
The HORIZON S Max is ready to impress, starting at $1,899, while the HORIZON S Pro offers 4K brilliance at a more affordable $1,299.
XGIMI’s innovations aren’t just about the tech; they’re about making home entertainment fit your life. Whether it’s the flexibility of a motorized screen like Ascend, the effortless setup of the Aura 2, or the vivid picture quality of the HORIZON S Series, these products show that you don’t have to sacrifice your space—or your style—for a giant screen.
For this technology of this projector, the Pro model is not price prohibited. Beautiful unit.
The Ascend is a nice concept. The projectors seem great!
This kind of technology is so cool in theory. I really wonder how well it would perform practically.
This looks amazing! If I had the space, I’d love to have something like this in my home. I hope XGIMI makes it a reality!
