If you have big-screen content to show at a daytime lecture, exhibition or conference, you're going to need a projector designed to shine bright. That's where Optoma is looking to come in with its Ultra Bright Series, which tops out at 22,000 lumens.

Compelling home theater is a one-step process these days, and XGIMI's flagship Horizon Pro 4K/60p projector is a brilliant example. It's fast, smart and powerful with built-in Android TV, premium 16-W audio and a spectacular image up to 300 inches.

Many of the projectors released by Xgimi have been somewhat blocky units that stand out, rather than blend in. For its latest multimedia model, the company has opted for a compact, stylish design for the bedroom, living room or even the boardroom.
