XGIMI Unveils Aura 3 UST Projectors With 5,700 Lumens and 8,000:1 Contrast

Summary

  • XGIMI opened preorders for two Aura 3 ultra-short-throw projectors—the 4,100-lumen Pro and 5,700-lumen Max—ahead of a Kickstarter launch in October.
  • Both models upgrade the Aura line with an 8,000:1 contrast ratio, a triple-laser RGB light source and dual-iris optics, far above the Aura 2’s 2,300 ISO lumens and 1,400:1 contrast.
  • Gaming is a key pitch: the projectors support 4K at 120Hz with 1ms latency, while Dolby Vision targets higher-end streaming playback.
  • A 0.163:1 throw ratio lets the Aura 3 sit closer to a wall than earlier models, underscoring XGIMI’s push to make large-format home projection easier to fit into smaller spaces.
