Xgimi Titan Noir Max review
A whole lot of money for a whole lot of lumens.
The Xgimi Titan Noir Max is a projector that redefines expectations and may negatively impact enjoyment of more mainstream projectors. Although it's not perfect, with a few minor flaws that make it less desirable for gaming, it is still an impressive and highly desirable projector. This $5,000 device boasts triple-laser RGB technology that delivers an eye-popping 7,000 lumens, combined with DLP and pixel-shift technology that provides full 4K resolution at 60 Hz and 1080p at up to 240 Hz.
The projector boasts a 1 ms latency at 1080p, and impressive specifications such as a 10,000:1 native contrast ratio and 0.98-2.0:1 throw ratio.
The Titan Noir Max features a 15-element lens system that delivers consistent edge-to-edge focus, very broad optical lens shift of 130% +/- vertical and 50% +/- horizontal, and an alloy cube chassis in a carry case. It also includes three HDMI ports, LAN, optical and 3.5mm audio, along with Wi-Fi connectivity, but lacks built-in smart TV functionality. The projector is controlled through a sleek remote with a metal chassis that lights up when picked up, providing access to the Xgimi's various menus and settings.
While the projector's automated setup works well, its automated digital keystone and other automated features can be problematic. The Titan Noir Max's manual lens shift functionality allows for easy image positioning without compromising geometry, and the projector's lens shift provides a wide range of adjustment. However, the projector's manual setup menu is complex and difficult to navigate, with many features that are not clearly explained.
Overall, the Xgimi Titan Noir Max is a high-end projector that is capable of delivering incredible image quality, but its complex feature set may deter some users, especially gamers.
