- After recently announcing the MIRA 4K UST laser projector, XGIMI says a Pro variant is coming soon.
- The MIRA Pro is claimed to offer a 3,000 ISO Lumens brightness, 50% higher than the standard variant.
- The MIRA and the MIRA Pro are otherwise identical and get the same look, features, and Google TV interface.
Switching over from a TV to a projector has many benefits, and the expansive screen is only one of them. But one of the biggest challenges in embracing the change is the limited brightness of projectors. Brands attempt to circumvent this by relying on a laser-based light source that’s both sharper and brighter than standard projector lamps and also degrades more slowly.
XGIMI, probably one of the first names to come to mind when thinking of projectors for home usage, recently launched three new laser projectors. Of these, the MIRA ultra-short-throw projector achieves the highest brightness, at 2,000 ISO Lumens. For a $1,699 home projector, that’s a justifiable figure and should work just fine in dim and dark scenarios. Even though XGIMI also promotes the projector as working well in brighter environments, it may struggle a bit. And that’s why it will soon be launching a more powerful variant with an even brighter light source.
