Aura 2

I’m a big fan of XGIMI projectors, having used them for a long time. Recently, I purchased the XGIMI AURA 2 short-throw projector, one of their latest releases this year. I absolutely love it! The picture and sound quality are outstanding, making it perfect for a home theater, bedroom, or living room setup. One of the standout features is the built-in Harman/Kardon sound system, which eliminates the need for an additional soundbar. The new Dual Light 2.0 technology and IMAX Enhanced certification take the viewing experience to the next level, setting this projector apart from the competition. It also comes loaded with convenient features like auto keystone correction, auto focus, wall color adaptation, an eye comfort mode, 3D support, and more. These enhancements make using this projector a truly enjoyable experience. The design and build quality are also impressive, featuring a protective on/off shutter for the lens. This thoughtful addition not only enhances durability but also adds to its sleek design. I highly recommend the XGIMI AURA 2. It’s a fantastic investment, and I’m confident you’ll love it as much as I do!

I’ve been using the XGIMI Aura 2 in a fully dark room with a 150-inch projection, and overall I’m extremely impressed with the performance. The picture quality is outstanding for an ultra short throw projector. Colors are vibrant, contrast is strong, and 4K content looks sharp and cinematic at this size. In a dark room, the brightness is more than sufficient, and movies truly feel like a home theater experience. The built-in speakers are surprisingly good as well — easily good enough for casual viewing without an external sound system. I’m currently projecting onto a plain wall, and while the results are very good, it’s clear that this projector would really benefit from a dedicated UST/ALR projector screen. At 150 inches, minor wall imperfections become visible, and blacks and contrast would definitely improve with a proper screen. If you’re investing in a projector at this level, pairing it with a good screen will unlock its full potential. Setup was straightforward, focus and keystone adjustments are easy, and the overall build quality feels premium. Smart features and interface are smooth and responsive. Pros: • Excellent image quality in dark rooms • Handles very large screen sizes well (150”+) • Strong brightness and color reproduction • Good built-in audio • Premium build and easy setup Cons: • To get the best results, a dedicated projector screen is highly recommended • Wall projection is good, but not ideal at this size Verdict: If you’re looking for a high-quality UST projector for a large-screen home theater, the XGIMI Aura 2 is a fantastic choice. Just budget for a proper screen if you want the absolute best experience.

I bought for two reasons. The sleek looks and the feature to adapt to an uneven wall (have not invested in a screen thus far). Overall it has been a great product in my first year of use. Great visuals and also surprisingly good speakers for the size. Only thing I wish it had was an IR receiver so I could utilize a third party remote for a very particular AppleTV need (volume).

I recently upgraded my home cinema setup with the XGIMI Aura 2 Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector, and it has truly transformed the way I enjoy movies, shows, and games. From the moment I powered it on, this projector impresses on every level. First and foremost, the picture quality is outstanding. With 4K UHD resolution and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced, colors are rich, contrast is deep, and visuals feel incredibly lifelike easily comparable to a premium television on a massive screen. At up to 150″ projection size from just inches away thanks to its UST (ultra-short-throw) design, it fills my living room wall beautifully without complicating the installation process. Setting up the Aura 2 was refreshingly simple. Intelligent tools like auto-focus, auto-keystone, and adaptive wall correction mean I got a perfectly aligned large image in minutes no fiddling with mounts or manual adjustments. The built-in Harman Kardon audio with Dolby Atmos compatibility delivers impressively immersive sound straight from the unit, reducing my need for external speakers. The design itself feels premium and blends seamlessly into my living space. What I also appreciate is the thoughtful feature set from smart ambient light sensing to quick wake/sleep modes, it’s clear XGIMI focused on both performance and everyday convenience. Overall, the XGIMI Aura 2 delivers cinematic visuals, rich audio, and user-friendly setup in one sleek package. It’s well worth considering for anyone seeking a high-end home cinema experience without the fuss of traditional projectors or bulky screens.

The projector exceeds expectations, offering excellent 4K and 3D picture quality. I contacted warranty support after my projector suffered from a green tint. They were GREAT! After just a couple of days, I received a label to ship my unit back as part of a warranty replacement. Stella, the representative I contacted, was both friendly and helpful. The projector guides you through setup. The keystone adjustment removed all issues with projector placement. Focus was spot on. It opens with an Android interface that connects to all your favorite online sources. I also use a receiver that connects a BD/4K/3D player, a Windows PC, and an ancillary Android device. I have not yet explored using eARC, which will simplify use when I configure it.
