Our Verdict
NexiGo Aurora Pro
XGIMI AURA 2
The XGIMI AURA 2 and NexiGo Aurora Pro are closely matched. While the XGIMI is a bit better overall, the NexiGo is an attractive alternative for those who prioritize image pop over accuracy; its pre-calibration accuracy is far worse than the XGIMI, but its contrast is noticeably better, and it has a far wider color gamut Still, the XGIMi is brighter, and has a fully functioning smart OS. In contrast, the NexiGo's smart OS is barebones, and the unit requires a smart dongle if you want to access any streaming apps.
