Our Verdict

Optoma UHD35

XGIMI HORIZON Ultra

The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra is better than the Optoma UHD35, although the Optoma has more advanced gaming features with full 1080p @ 240Hz support. Still, the XGIMI is a far better product, with higher peak brightness, vastly better color accuracy, a wider color gamut, and a full suite of smart features, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.
