XGIMI Mira Launch: 4K Laser Projector with 3D, Gaming, and Cat Protection
The XGIMI Mira Pro is a 4K ultra-short throw laser projector that boasts accurate color reproduction for gaming 3D, as well as cat-friendly features.
XGIMI is launching two new ultra-short throw projectors, the Mira and Mira Pro, in Germany. These models feature 4K 3D Dolby Vision HDR10+ and gaming capabilities, as well as a safety feature that protects curious cats from the laser light.
Key Features of the XGIMI Mira Pro
• Large screen projection at short distances The XGIMI Mira models are ultra-short throw projectors that can project a screen size of up to 120 inches without needing a traditional ceiling projector.
• 4K 3D and HDR Both models support 4K Ultra HD and 3D playback, as well as HDR10+ Dolby Vision HLG. However, the 4K designation likely uses pixel shifting technology.
• Brightness difference The XGIMI Mira reaches 2000 ISO lumens, while the Mira Pro is brighter at 3000 ISO lumens, making it more suitable for larger screens or bright rooms.
• Gaming on a large screen For gamers, these projectors offer ALLM VRR and a gaming mode with up to 240Hz. However, the maximum refresh rate only applies at 1080p output.
• Practicality for families and pets ISA 5.0 functionality assists with automatic focus screen adjustment and vision protection. If a curious cat approaches the laser light too closely, the protection function automatically activates.
While the manufacturer mentions native 4K resolution in its press release, it is likely excluded at this price point. Therefore, pixel shifting is expected. It's also important not to place too much emphasis on HDR performance here. Technologically, projectors cannot efficiently darken specific areas or pixels on the screen. However, the XGIMI Mira and Mira Pro offer other strengths.
XGIMI aims to position the Mira as a TV replacement and a lifestyle projector.
XGIMI Mira and Mira Pro with Harman Kardon Sound
This includes, for example, the opportunity to enjoy 3D movies and utilize the built-in Harman Kardon sound system. This sound system delivers 36 watts of output and supports Dolby Audio as well as DTS Virtual X. Additionally, both the XGIMI Mira and Mira Pro offer three HDMI ports, one of which supports eARC. Other interfaces include Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, two USB ports, Ethernet, and a 3.5mm AUX jack. The main difference between the two models lies in:
The XGIMI Mira reaches a brightness of 2000 ISO lumens, while the XGIMI Mira Pro implements 3000 ISO lumens, making it slightly more suitable for bright rooms. Both ultra-short throw projectors operate with RGB triple laser technology and also allow a maximum size of 120 inches at short projection distances. According to the manufacturer, they are also suitable for gaming. They have a gaming mode with a 240Hz refresh rate as well as ALLM and VRR. However, this only applies when outputting a 1080p signal.
XGIMI Mira Pro with Google TV
The fact that the XGIMI Mira and Mira Pro use Google TV as a platform is helpful. This allows them to support Google Cast as well as provide access to the Play Store. Thus, streaming apps like Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, or Netflix can be used without external devices. The internal chipset is a MediaTek MT9579, which comes with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
According to the manufacturer, the Mira and Mira Pro cover 110 percent of the BT.2020 color space. However, this is a value that is usually far removed from everyday life and applies under ideal conditions. The practical aspect is that these ultra-short throw projectors are only 122 x 464 x 268 mm in size and weigh 4.8 kg. Thanks to their compact dimensions as well as technologies such as automatic focus, automatic keystone correction, wall curvature and wallpaper color adjustment, screen alignment and eye protection functions, installation is made easy.
The XGIMI Mira and Mira Pro also include a Bluetooth remote control. As a first step, the Mira will be launched in Germany on July 15, 2026, at a price of €1699. A pre-order promotion runs until July 14, 2026. Those who decide to buy early will receive four 3D glasses free of charge. The Mira Pro, on the other hand, is scheduled to be launched on the market at the end of this summer. The price is €1999.
