Our Verdict
XGIMI HORIZON Ultra
BenQ X3100i
The BenQ X3100i is better than the XGIMI HORIZON Ultra. The BenQ has a significantly deeper contrast ratio, so it looks better in a dark room. The BenQ is also more accurate out of the box and can be calibrated for even better accuracy, while the XGIMI can't be improved. The BenQ is also more colorful, so overall, it projects a more vibrant image than the XGIMI. Finally, the BenQ is better for gamers with its 1080p @ 240Hz and 1440p @ 120Hz support. However, the XGIMI is smaller and lighter than the BenQ and has a full suite of image correction features, making it much easier to move around than the BenQ.
