Our Verdict

Optoma GT1090HDR

XGIMI HORIZON Ultra

The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra delivers much better picture quality than the Optoma GT1090HDR. The XGIMI is a long-throw projector, so you have to place it farther from the screen than the short throw Optoma. The XGIMI delivers much better picture quality, though, as colors are brighter and more accurate. The XGIMI also has a built-in smart interface, so you can stream your favorite content directly on the projector without needing an additional streaming device.
