This Projector just CRUSHED My TV!! | Nexigo Aurora Pro

- £3000 TV vs £1400 Projector... Triple laser projectors will bury your TV! This is a side by side comparison of the brand new Nexigo Aurora Pro 4K versus a £3000 Telly.
This video is sponsored by Nexigo, all opinions are my own.
UPDATE Soooo... The Kickstarter campaign hit a major snag 2 days ago and Kickstarter have removed the campaign without warning or a clear explanation. I can't legally go into why, but trust me when I say it sounds like typical corporate greed and not on Nexigo's part 😉
Nexigo are obviously frustrated and have been trying to figure this out with Kickstarter BUT you can still pre-order the projector using Amazon pay from the Nexigo website (linked below), so that you can still buy with confidence. This only happened a couple days ago so the Kickstarter campaign will likely resurface (if that's your preference) once Nexigo's legal team have spoken to Kickstarter's people.
In the mean time Nexigo are honouring all the orders they already had and are sticking to their agreed prices and deals. Full statement from Nexigo here: www.nexigo.com/blogs/conversa...

I wonder what this means for kickstarters or pre order from their site
Can you let us know if you paid for this video or given anything to encourage you to make this video, samples discounts or anything similar?
he will not say@@dave82691
The triple laser, eliminating the color wheel for DLP, is the reason why you do not see the rainbow effect.
This is awesome. Another great video Paul. I hope they get the Kickstarter issues sorted.
I was thinking of getting a new projector at some point as I have had a 1080P one for over 10 years but as I live on my own I'm now thinking of going for a pair of smart glasses when they are perfected
Wow. The specs on the Aurora Pro 4K are awesome but, as you say, I like the real-case examples as well.|
Also, good call on the screen reflections on a TV being more obtrusive than bright wash.
In addition to home entertainment use, I can see using something like this in a conference or class room where you don't want to devote a whole section of the room to A/V all the time. The size of the screen makes it reasonable to use in a space where even a large TV would just look puny.
Great review as usual. I appreciate the detail you go into when talking about the pros and cons as well as the honesty when you talk about things that may be a matter of taste or opinion.
Love the content as always...cheers from the states
Can't wait for mine to arrive, great video paul!
You won’t regret it! 😊👍🏻
The 120Hz in / 60 Hz out is just part of the 3D. Since 3D is technically two streams being inputted simultaneously at 60 Hz a piece and then overlayed... it pretty much equals 60 Hz (left) + 60 Hz (right) / 60 Hz (combined).
Happy Saturday Paul. Thank you.
Great video! Will defo try this projector out but I wanna know, does it come with the screen ? Please let me know what model it is. Thanks
This is sponsored?? ... I trusted you for a second
Great review! Where do you place an “ultra short throw” projector? How short is ultra-short?
Hi Paul, I am assuming you are using a motorised floor standing ALR screen there.. I am also interested in getting one for my setup, could you give detail/link on which you are using there please? or review on similar please? long time fan, subscribed and enjoy lots of your video's! Keep up the british end!😝
Great video man.
Since your channel was all about cheap stuff could you make a video about cheap projectors? Like 300£ maximum price tag?
Not a bad shout! Thanks man, I shall keep this in mind!
@@paulhibbertcan recommend the toptro x1 paired with a Roku etc. crap in daylight but great clear picture at native 1080p for £260
hi paul, i am just happy with the xdmi you had in one of your other videos. where can i find this bottom to top screen thing that you are showing? wouldn't that work with any projector as well?
THANK YOU SO MUCH @paulhibbert for bringing up an issue that Flat Panel TV reviewers skip ALL THE TIME.
TV Glare is horrendous no matter how "deep dark" those blacks are on a television. It makes the image quality WORSE because it invites MORE GLARE! I too prefer a little bit of fade over overpowering glare blocking my viewing experience.
"Just close the blinds..." if I'm going to close the blinds anyway, I may as well get a projector setup! I am LOVING how much more affordable Ultra Short Throw projectors are becoming and this one is most likely going to replace my Bedroom TV as I ALREADY have a nice projector setup in the livingroom.
Great video, keep up the good work! I really enjoyed this and the fact that finally SOMEONE points out that TV Glare is a major DEAL BREAKER on Flat Panel TVs because you can just as easily mitigate image fade on a projector as you can TV Glare so why not just go with the projector instead????
The specs say that this is a 3 color laser projector, meaning that it should not have a color wheel which in turn means 0 rainbow effect.
Cheers Paul I bought the Xgimi not long ago so I will stick with that.
So true about the glare, My big tv is so shinny, no idea why when Monitors have antiglare but TVs don't
You’d think they would have solved this by now. I think some TVs have anti-glare, but I imagine it’s a tech specific thing, like a requirement for some reason 🤷🏻♂️
Shiny.... Soz. 😂
Two questions please
1. How big of a screen can I use with this? in your video you mention 150 inch screen, is that the recommended size? Which specific screen can you recommend for a first time buyer like myself?
2. How far away does the projector need to sit from the screen? I’m trying to figure out how exactly it would fit in my room.
Thank you, I am, of course, subscribed with notifications, enabled, and thumbs up!
Hey Paul, can you do a cover on ALR screens? I'm using an Xgimi on a wall which is ok but would love some recemmendations on automated ALR.
Have you ever got those Bose cubes that in the directions says may sound better if reflected off the wall? They do.
Hi Paul, hope things are good. Can i ask you something please? just wondering what this projector would look like projecting onto a sheet of glass? and whether that woudl work. Have a good one bro, all the best, Kieron
I wonder why they haven't done one without all the sound add-ons? So many people already have all that set up.
I weigh 168£. That is 12 rocks. Have I got that right, Paul?
I found it easier to pay with rocks rather than pounds.
Amazing ❤️❤️ you should attach something like a MiSTer to it!
I really want to know how much the brightness will decrease when this projector projects at 100 inches and 120 inches because I bought a 120-inch ALR screen from Vivid Storm.
Nice video. I was pretty much set on the Formovie Theater UST but after seeing this no longer sure. Have you seen the Formovie Theater?
I love the funny parts of this video .. the grandma kicking the baby 😂😂
So.. can you integrate this with HOMEASSISTANT? (yes u can, just use some bridge with IR, like Aqara hub)
Intro had me interested but then when it was a sponsor I couldn’t see past it and take everything with a pinch of salt. I’ll wait for a few more reviews until making my final call on it, sounds good though!
The light hitting the screen thing is mainly to do with the projector screen you use. There's different materials that reflect the light differently. I recently watched a video of a guy comparing them all. The best ones will cost a few grand especially for the ones which raise up like the one you have... ahhhh... look, as I type you get onto this lol
Is this a projector and screen all in one unit, or a separate setup? Thanks
Great Video Paul!
How did you get it delivered cause if i click the Amazon link for uk it says it cant be delivered to my location
Projectors have a special quality that was lost when we moved away from CRTs, As in both cases they're projecting light onto an object, there is natural light scattering that has an anti-aliasing effect (Which you identified at 7:30)
Its why a lot of retro gamers still use CRTs, because the games look strange on modern TVs/Monitors because they were made with that effect in mind.
Alongside the lack of the black void, varying image sizes for content, TV quality picture, and that natural anti-aliasing effect; I can see a lot of people choosing projectors over TVs as the Ultra-short throw technology matures and continues to drop in price, further into the competitive price space for TVs. I personally will be buying one once they start entering my price range for this quality.
That's not why people use CRTs for retro games.
The unique quality about crt is that it can switch resolutions. Crt projectors like the Sony G90 can display anything from 240p to 1080p without scaling.
All flat-screen displays and current projectors have fixed resolutions. Upscaling old 240p games to fit 1080p or 4k screens creates ugly jaggies, loss of detail and lag.
There is no anti aliasing effect on CRTs. Just poor quality scaling on LCDs, plasma, Oled and loose.
Those jagged edges are not extra clarity. They are scaling artifacts.
@@Zebra66 "Those jagged edges are not extra clarity. They are scaling artifacts."
Thank you for explaining what aliasing is...
"It's not an anti-aliasing effect" in the sense that aliasing has never existed on CRTs due to the way they work; but when compared to non-CRTs that do have aliasing, it's an anti-aliasing effect.
Gamers use CRT’s because of low input lag. No other reason. Plus a decent TV will provide an artefact free picture.
@@MrDamo34 that’s just categorically not true.
@@SamPhoenix_ Well it in fact is.
The biggest advantage of a projector is IMO that you can activate it for those quality moments like watching a movie. For watching the news or weatherforecast you dont want the screen to dominate the room. Smaller tv and projector is better than 1 big tv. Just hook them both up to a receiver with 2 hdmi outputs and you can watch the same content on both.
Well unashamed sponsorship success story here. I haven’t heard of this projector but impulse bought it while finishing your video up. Here’s why, the company is established with a few products out there already. I am concerned with quality but that’s the risk you take at the lower price point. I was going to pull the trigger on a high end laser projector already to replace my UST LG PF1000W. The LG is a good projector but it really doesn’t pop that much, is 1080, and even with my Elite Screens ALR, its still lacking. I’m hoping this gives me a few years of use and hopefully the longevity of it is worth the risk. Thanks Paul for the review!
Cool video. Does this projector support native 4k or is it pixel shifting? Thanks
It's pixel shifting but you wouldn't notice it.
Hey Paul huge fan but a minor bit of constructive feedback. In many of your vids I’ve to click the link to find the price rather than you covering it in video. It’s a key thing to help folks decide if it’s for them so be great if you could please include even as an overlay in your vids. You mention the screen price here but not the projector. Thanks so much mate and keep up the super work!
Thanks mate! The reason I leave it out is because the videos are produced 2 weeks in advance and I was finding I was finishing a video and then 2 weeks later having to go in and change the price as it had been updated… and then having to re-export the video, reupload it and then having to fill out all the info on CZcams again. It was frustrating finishing work for the week and then having to go back in and do another hours work just because the price had gone up or down.
I do sometimes discuss it if it’s horrendously overpriced or bizarrely underpriced but otherwise I don’t risk it
@@paulhibbert thanks for the reply and totally makes sense! No harm though in saying price is “at time of recording”? Not realistic to expect you to constantly keep on top of price changes! Already looking forward to the next one, thanks mate.
Thanks dude! I will genuinely give this some thought as I totally understand your point ❤️
Which HDMI switch are you using to generate two HDMI outputs for TV and projector?
also interested to know this
So how much to buy one? Can't remember you giving a purchase amount?
It claims it's a tri-colour laser, so that should mean no colour wheel for the DLP, so there should be no rainbow effect
Usually don't like cutsey crap. You do it well. I am somewhat entertained (-"
Which screen is it you have there?
Looking forward when ALDP 5.0 is released in new Projectors
When I was a kid, my parents thought a transformer was that thing that plugs into the wall to charge things.......
On a serious note though, this projector looks rather interesting. Look forward to seeing it (maybe) become available in Australia......
Rainbow effect usually only effects DLP projectors as far as I recall. I notice it on DLP projectors, but not on other technologies. Guess your mileage may vary.
Interesting! Thanks mate, I shall have to look into that!
You are correct regarding the "rainbow effect" on DLP. It occurs because a DLP projector throws up a red image, then a green image, then a blue image, then repeats. This is because a typical DLP projector is monochromatic, and to get color they use a color wheel for each of the colors. This time shifted RGB is why you moving can cause the color issues. (Try watching through a fan sometime.)
You can get laser speckle from 3 laser projectors though
I love the fact that you play Destiny. And the fact yer a Titan? Even better.
The screen glare would be part of glass screen tv's which are the plasma tv ones but the LCD ones are made out of plastic so how would there be a glare?
There is glare in every screen. I am yet to own a monitor or a tv that doesn’t experience it 🤷🏻♂️
Looking at their other products, I suspect this is just a rebadged or reboxed product from a different company.
The connection layout and specs look very similar to the Xgimi Aura.
That's a good thought, but I don't think it's a re-branding of the Xgimi Aura: The Xgimi Aura has 1800 lumens, while the Nexigo Aurora has 2400 lumens. Also, the Xgimi Aura uses the (annoying) Android operating system, where for licensing reasons Netflix is not available or only externally available, whereas with Nexigo the Netflix tile is already present in the OS.
@@netcoin Nexigo also only has Android OS (which requires an airmouse as shown in the video), not Android TV thus it would also not put out HDR10 on Netflix.
@@NhatLinhNguyen82 Thank you NhatLinh for the correction.
Any ideas on total cost inc shipping and tax? You had me at 150 inches 😉
Paul, didn't you do a video on the screen that goes up and down that's 100 inches? I can't find it and wanted to get more information about it. As I really like that it goes down down and doesn't stay on a wall. Thank you for always making me laugh!!
Yeah he did. Try searching his name and ALR... And if it wasnt him search for the hookup alr... 1 or both reviewed ALR screens. If both, watch both - worth your time.
Look up Vividstorm, that's what these are.
I'm always going to have my computer plugged into the projector, along with at least two other monitors streaming everything in 4K. 🙂
buyed a for movie and fresnel wall and you're right.. black levels are totally missing even in the dark. I would not buy one again. Better live with an 85" QLED. OLED is not so nice because its more mirroring then the QLED/LCD Displays are...
Hopefully the future upcoming microLED TVs are cheaper and with less energy consumption. They are matte and big with extrem contrast.
I swore I would stop buying the products you review. I now need to re arrange my front room
Being a transformer reviewer, I'm cracking up at the fake transformer 😅😅😅 Good video
the screen is twice as important as what your using to project onto it. nice screen indeed
6:10 made me feel things I can't explain
It’s a brand new kind of horny right? 😁
@@paulhibbert 💯 especially when Jeff got involved
With an Ambient Light Screen daylight will be even less of a problem.
Looks like it's still a bargain at £2,000 once import duty and shipping are added 👍
I’ll keep my C2….I enjoy OLED and HDR too much. And if I was buying something, it would be a QD-OLED, not a projector. I got nothing against projectors, but they don’t have the same PQ as a self emissive display.
Bigger isn’t always better in my eyes either. I get its more “immersive”, but there’s issues that arise when blowing something up so large. My eyes go to every imperfection much faster on large displays. I personally like a higher ppi. I’m all about clarity, and not seeing artifacts.
I bet you had sharpness and/or AI enabled on the TV too…also, you didn’t explain if it was displaying a native signal, being upscaled, etc. Apples to apples comparisons and transparency is important when claiming something is “so much better”.
bigger, or bigger "for the price" is the only reason to get anything other than an OLED, but it's a damn good reason.
I always try to convince people to get an OLED if they can afford it, but if they mention that they want a bigger screen for the same price, (or less in a lot of situations) then I'll stop trying to convince them.
As far as "big screens go" there's already somewhat affordable 98" televisions out there, which is wild (4k for an LCD... about 5x more for the OLED counterpart)
For projectors, these UST laser ones seems to be the way to go if you want a really large screen. But if you want contrast that gets meaningfully close to an OLED, there's only one game in town: LCoS from JVC.
Nexigo vs AWOL 3500 ?
Thoughts 💭 ? 🧐
Hi Paul what distance did you have the projector from the screen?
a) Distance between back of device and screen:
100" 7.8 inch / 120" 11.52 inch / 150" 17.28"
b) Distance from front of unit to screen:
100" 23.84 inches / 120" 27.56 inches / 150" 33.32
thank you@@netcoin
You didn't show how much space it takes up . Like can I put it on an entertainment stand or is it like 40" deep??
I like the look of this… just wish I could run down to Costco and grab one… the screen wash wouldn’t be an issue because when I tell Siri it’s movie time he closes the blinds, dims the lights and turns on the tv backlighting… I guess I’d have to teach him to lower/raise the projection screen too…. And I have to say, the lizard at 5:21 has her lipstick done very nicely….
Ignore the scammer! ❤️
The screen wash is an issue even in a completely dark room, unless you paint your walls black and wear black shirts too. The light is reflected off the screen, bounces off the walls and lights up the screen again. Yes, it's not as bad as during daytime, but it is there.
@@kadajawi2Did you return it?
@@bustercolin7507It's a general issue with projectors, thus no, I don't buy one. If size at an affordable priceis all that matters, yeah, projectors are a decent option. But for optimal image quality, you need something else. Unless you have a ton of money to _build_ a dedicated theater and are willing to equip it with high end equipment. And even then, if I had that sort of money (a few 100k), I'd probably be looking at microLED these days.
I want a 4k projector, but I already have 3 Panasonic 1080p laser projectors, and an Epson UB 1080p lamp based projector, so I'm good for a few years, even though I watch video, and game about 12+ hours per day, lol 😂
Another dose of Hibbert humour. Loved it! 👍🏻
What’s the ALR screen your are using? Thanks!
The Screen he is using is a Vividstorm. Also see video description. And sry, I'm not Paul. But the answer will be the same. :)
@@netcoin cool, thanks
I like that ironic currency joke, "Pound is a weight..." which is why it's called a pound, it was the weight of silver in 240 pennies.
Projectors do need a dark room. ALR screens help, but they are not a panacea, not even close. Bigger is NOT always better, picture quality is more important then a ultra large screen.
Is this kit all still at Mr R's? In the interests of a visit and test in one
It’s not mate sorry!
@@paulhibbert that's ok. Just polishing my cheeky b*@#£r creds.
I've got a big enough room to set one up so its saving time.
Does this have pixel shift 4K or true 4K ?
It's pixel shift as is every single DLP projector.
Can I use this as PC monitor?
Yes
You pay more for UST than a regular throw projector for the same quality, plus you need an ALR screen, and the distance from the screen means you lose 3' of floor space in front of the screen -- although I assume this could be ceiling mounted to avoid losing the floor space even if your review didn't mention that. A 150" image is 11' wide, which would have most people sitting at least 11' away, so a room a minimum 12' deep. That is enough depth for a Benq X3000i if it faces a mirror on the rear wall from 16" away, and that mirror gives you a good place to mask top and bottom black bars. The only use case I see for UST is to avoid people walking between projector and screen, ie. standup gaming like tennis or golf.
A UST is brighter because there is less distance for the light to travel, it is also more convenient to install as you don’t have to find a beam in your ceiling to drill it to. The sound also comes from the front of the room instead of above your head and can be more easily wired to a sound system without having to run cables through your ceiling.
Trust me when I say that pulling your upstairs floorboards up to run a super long hdmi cable from your sound system up your wall and across half your house is not fun and does not impress the wife.
It can NOT be hung from the ceiling, not that I would want to attempt to do so!
The assumption when making the video was that a person looking to buy a 100” display will have the 2 and a bit feet of floor space. It’s still more convenient than the TV’s permanent wall hogging or worse, window hogging.
@@paulhibbertcompletely agree. I am lucky enough to have a dedicated home theatre room and I ran cables through the floors and ceiling for my 7.4.2 but still went UST over a standard projector. Mainly because I didn’t want to mount a 25kg JVC 4k monolith from my ceiling. I have an LG HU8LS that is bright enough for us to watch sports, play games and watch stuff with the kids without having to close the blinds. And I haven’t blighted the ceiling so the room still looks / works as a conventional room. I might go for a standard projector at some point if we commit to staying at this house forever but, for my first projector, a UST was ideal.
Edit: I have to admit, accommodating a centre speaker and a UST was a pain and, IMO, the biggest compromise over a standard projector in my case. I managed it with a dedicated stand but it’s not ideal.
Who have the patience to wait till spring/summer of next year.
2024 is going to be an busy sport year for sure, with the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, and UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. Thanks to those games, it's going to be a year of discounts on TV's and UST projectors in Europe.
Them rainbows. Grrrr.
I’ve got my Sony for that very reason , but oooh , the lasers .
We’ll see Paul .
The technology is definitely getting noticeably better for both brightness and all other aspects. As a projector nerd it’s exciting!
I'd love to see this projector up against an OLED.
dunno Paul, just seems the same as all of your other projector videos. every one is the newest best thing. but is it? how about doing a 2023 round up? not only on projectors. how about smart bulbs , switches, sensors . cameras? all the products you review seem to be great... but which is the best?
How would you rate this against the new XGMI Horizon Ultra?
This Will Change Your Mind | XGIMI Horizon Ultra Review
czcams.com/video/a2IeR3IhHkw/video.html
@@paulhibbert I saw that very fine review, but would like to know which you'd choose between the two and why?
Ah Ok. Depends on use case really, the horizon ultra is what they call a lifestyle projector and most of your money is going into making it easily luggable, though the picture is incredible! It’s also been designed to work well on walls, even if they have a bit of colour. You can get it out and use it and put it away when done.
The Nexigo is for creating a proper home cinema with a permanent setup, obviously more difficult if you have kids with sticky fingers, or a wife that just won’t put up with it! It has a better speaker and a better picture, but you’ll need a good screen for it, and preferably an ALR screen specifically designed for ultra short throw projectors to really get the best out of it. Its picture will beat the ultra regardless of the screen though for contrast ratio and brightness.
Over all though I think the ultra produces more natural colours (in my opinion), my favourite Ultra short throw is still the XGIMI one I reviewed a while back, though I think it’s more expensive than the Nexigo
@@paulhibbertthanks Paul, appreciate your response. Neither of the other two you mentioned have Dolby Vision though do they? Are you referring to the XGMI Aura?
Disappointed that it doesn't do 120hz out. I thought finally a short throw that does VRR and allm! But then it doesn't do 120. Ugh.
Pretty much every single DLP projector cannot do 4k/120hz. It's a limitation of the chip. Only 3 chip projectors can do that. And so far that's just Epson and JVC.
What state is the American guy from?
😂 im watching a tv with crazy glare right now and I hate it.
If the sun is out.. it’s on my tv
Ok so how do you watch live tv??? It has no atsc 3 tuner...
I personally only watch streaming services, I imagine the vast majority of people will plug in a sky box or similar, the same as most people do with their tv 🤷🏻♂️
£2700 on amazon? how is this a 1400 quid projector? genuine qiestion how can i get it for 1400 quid?
Yep thinking the same thing.
£2999 on amazon.
If this was £1400 i'd buy it instantly. Looking for a projector in that price range. Probably going to go with the Viewsonic LX700-4k which looks very similar in tests I've seen for £1199.
What's the throw distance?
At that price, I wouldn't be throwing it anywhere
Pounds are a measure of mass, not weight. And now, back to the show.
"Proposterously low price"?? Erm... $1,700? Low? Cough cough 🤔😮
😎🇬🇧
Really good point about the tv reflection and having to close the curtains anyway. Looks solid. Wish I had the money. Maybe if they’d thrown in a “Caravanus Whine gobot” and I would have gone all in 😂
Btw… the Samsung short throw is NOT a gaming projector hence why they don’t market it as such. The delay on that is around 50ms
They couldn’t afford that many caravanimus primes! No one can!! 😂
You shouldn’t get the Rainbow effect with a laser projector, although a laser projector uses a DLP chip, it either has three individual coloured lasers, or two laser and a prism to split the colours, as a result it does not need the spinning colour wheel of a traditional DLP projector. I struggle to watch a Normal DLP projector as the rainbow effect makes me feel sick.
More Yacht's less snakes please, I have the fear :)
😂
I have a fear of yachts. More snakes, please.
I am afraid of both yachts and snakes 😳
Ive been looking at these since seeing this video and I like what I see but bear one thing in mind. You have to drop another $400-$500 dollars on a screen. Ive never jad a projector so that didnt occur to me right away.
6:20 technically you can have a 150" tv samsung made "the wall" but practically no one has enough money for this, especially that it would draw an absurd amount of power and you'll need a separate cooling system just for this room for you not to boil in there after an hour.
Welp, time to sell one of my kidneys for a really dope projector
OLED is still king but the price of a 97” TV is crazy!
Caravanmus Prime looks expensive
They all were 😩
bcos they are
I ditched the Telmudvision a decade ago...🤨
I managed to solve the size issue when I watch alone: I sit really close to my 55” OLED TV, for the best of both worlds….
Exactly! Had an UST projector, they are OK, but OLED destroys the picture quality in ever spec.
I like the UST projectors but for the life of me cannot fathom why anybody would want an enormous rectangular box sitting on their living room floor. It would be ok in a dedicated home theatre I guess.
My plan is to put it in a cabinet. You can get cabinets designed to hold the screen and the projector, that way it’s not much different to having a tv cabinet. They’re a bit bigger though obviously!
I think it's the other way about rather than having a huge box hanging from the ceiling all the time, you can just pull this out of a cupboard, stick in on a small table just when you want to use it. Very fast setup
The TV glare is not what I kept seeing. I see the glare from the big beautiful bald head! 😂
It is a blinding light that heals the soul 😂
