TL;DR XGIMI has unveiled the Horizon 20 Series with Google TV at IFA 2025.

The new projector lineup includes the Horizon 20, 20 Pro, and flagship 20 Max with 5,700 ISO lumens.

Pre-orders open on September 5 in the US and UK, with shipping beginning in October.

XGIMI is turning up the brightness in home entertainment. This afternoon at IFA 2025, the company introduced the Horizon 20 Series, its most luminous projectors yet, featuring Google TV. With this launch, XGIMI sets its sights squarely on home theater heavyweights like Epson and BenQ.

The Horizon 20 Series comes in three variants, the Horizon 20, 20 Pro, and flagship 20 Max, but it’s the Max that steals the spotlight. With 5,700 ISO lumens, it’s bright enough to hold its own against daylight or a well-lit living room. That puts it ahead of most portable Google TV projectors and even in the same conversation as mid-range home units from brands like Epson.

It’s also a huge step up from XGIMI’s own catalog, where the Horizon Ultra tops out at about 2,300 ISO lumens and the Horizon S Max at 3,100. The leap comes courtesy of an all-new X-Master Red Ring Lens and an RGB triple-laser architecture, designed to crank up brightness while keeping colors accurate.

Across the lineup, XGIMI covers the basics you’d expect from a serious home theater device. All three models support Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Filmmaker Mode, and IMAX Enhanced, so picture quality should feel cinematic rather than compromised. They also add lens shifting and optical zoom, which makes setup far less finicky. And for anyone tired of hacks and workarounds, you get the Google TV platform built in for all your streaming and app needs.
