Xgimi Titan Noir Pro Review
IGN has reviewed the Xgimi Titan Noir Pro, calling it a new benchmark for home projectors that offers cinema-quality performance in a surprisingly compact, stylish package. It sits in the middle of Xgimi's new Titan Noir range, aimed at enthusiasts who want a bigger picture than a standard 4K television without the bulky, office-style design typical of rival high-end projectors.
The Titan Noir range comprises three models distinguished mainly by brightness and contrast: the Titan Noir ($3,999), the Noir Pro tested here ($4,999), and the Noir Max ($5,999). Despite its power, the Noir Pro measures just 9.1 by 11.3 by 14.9 inches and weighs 16.75 pounds, far smaller and lighter than rivals such as the Epson LS12000 or Sony Bravia Projector 7. It features an advanced optical system with a 0.98:1 to 2.0:1 throw ratio and extensive lens shift, allowing precise, full-resolution image placement without digital cropping, plus eye-protection sensors, three HDMI ports (one with eARC), USB-A ports, and Wi-Fi/LAN connectivity, though it lacks a built-in smart TV platform like Google TV.
In short
- Xgimi's Titan Noir Pro is a compact, high-end lifestyle projector priced at $4,999.
- It's part of a three-model Titan Noir range differing by brightness and contrast.
- Offers strong optical zoom/lens shift but no built-in smart TV platform.
Explained simply
Home projectors have traditionally come in two flavours: affordable but basic models for casual use, or expensive, bulky machines designed for dedicated home cinemas or offices. Xgimi, a Chinese electronics manufacturer, has launched a new Titan Noir range aimed at enthusiasts who want high-performance cinema at home without the office-equipment aesthetic that dominates the premium market.
The range comprises three models at different price points: the standard Titan Noir at $3,999, the Noir Pro at $4,999, and the Noir Max at $5,999. The core appeal is that these projectors deliver the brightness, contrast and optical precision of much larger, heavier rivals whilst remaining remarkably compact and stylishly designed, making them more practical for home use.
This matters because the home projector market has been dominated for years by bulky equipment from established Japanese brands like Epson and Sony, leaving a gap for something that matches their performance without requiring substantial installation work or space. The Titan Noir range attempts to fill that gap by bringing professional-grade image quality into a format that fits naturally into a living room rather than a commercial setting.
