AURA Series UST Laser Projector, Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, 1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 0.177:1 Throw Ratio, Harman Kardon, 2300 Lumens AURA 2 ATV White

I’m a big fan of XGIMI projectors, having used them for a long time. Recently, I purchased the XGIMI AURA 2 short-throw projector, one of their latest releases this year. I absolutely love it! The picture and sound quality are outstanding, making it perfect for a home theater, bedroom, or living room setup. One of the standout features is the built-in Harman/Kardon sound system, which eliminates the need for an additional soundbar. The new Dual Light 2.0 technology and IMAX Enhanced certification take the viewing experience to the next level, setting this projector apart from the competition. It also comes loaded with convenient features like auto keystone correction, auto focus, wall color adaptation, an eye comfort mode, 3D support, and more. These enhancements make using this projector a truly enjoyable experience. The design and build quality are also impressive, featuring a protective on/off shutter for the lens. This thoughtful addition not only enhances durability but also adds to its sleek design. I highly recommend the XGIMI AURA 2. It’s a fantastic investment, and I’m confident you’ll love it as much as I do!

I bought for two reasons. The sleek looks and the feature to adapt to an uneven wall (have not invested in a screen thus far). Overall it has been a great product in my first year of use. Great visuals and also surprisingly good speakers for the size. Only thing I wish it had was an IR receiver so I could utilize a third party remote for a very particular AppleTV need (volume).

The projector exceeds expectations, offering excellent 4K and 3D picture quality. I contacted warranty support after my projector suffered from a green tint. They were GREAT! After just a couple of days, I received a label to ship my unit back as part of a warranty replacement. Stella, the representative I contacted, was both friendly and helpful. The projector guides you through setup. The keystone adjustment removed all issues with projector placement. Focus was spot on. It opens with an Android interface that connects to all your favorite online sources. I also use a receiver that connects a BD/4K/3D player, a Windows PC, and an ancillary Android device. I have not yet explored using eARC, which will simplify use when I configure it.

The top left won't align right. It's bent skewed. It took forever trying to scan the QR code to access the feature. Why do I need to hook up to wifi and Google to set this projector. They're all doing it as a backdoor data grab. 😡 Wall adaptation thing needs to be able to be done without hooking up to the internet and needs improvement. Kept taking photo after photo to get it right. Gave up as it can't seem to give a straight keystone. And be careful not to tap 4pt or 8pt because it will reset the whole keystone and you will have to use wall adaptation mode. Makes 4pt and 8pt feature useless. I'm upset because I spent so much money on this and really was expecting a high end product for the cost only to be short changed. Do I send it back for an exchange? Will the other one be just as bad? Maybe. From my experience from exchanging the other projectors yeah. I really like the brightness level. I fired it up during daylight with the blinds slightly opened and wow a clear colorful picture that wasn't washed out. Went through all the picture modes and adjustments and there's plenty to keep you busy. The picture with Imax capability Dolby Atmos sound. It looks good. 😃 The sound is pretty good could just use a little more bass but yeah I can watch whatever without needing a soundbar. But I had to hook up my Bose soundbar via optical for that home theater sound ... but then I get cuts. It's cutting in n out. wtf. 😐 I check and reconnect and hope it doesn't clip but it does. 😒 The look of this machine is slick and sophisticated. What is it people ask. It just looks cool. Is it a fancy air purifier or stereo? A computer? ... no one knows till I turn it on and the magic door opens slow n smooth. Boom a bright light appears with a menu. It all looks fantastic... until you see the wrinkly messed up top left corner. 🤫 Hurumf I say. Why couldn't this just be right like I've seen in the countless review videos I watched before pulling the trigger. 😢 UPDATE: Customer support contacted me and says its my wall. My wall? All my other projectors work fine and flat on that wall. Even got an ALR screen and it still cannot give me a flat smooth rectangular image. The wall adaptation option should be just that an option but it's not. It's pretty much the only thing you can use to try and get this projecting flat. I also moved it to another wall and used a different screen. Maybe I got a dud. Most of what I watch is in letterbox so it doesn't bother me that bad but in this price range there should be zero issues. Cool projector good picture n sound but mine has keystoning issues.

I’ve been using the XGIMI Aura 2 in a fully dark room with a 150-inch projection, and overall I’m extremely impressed with the performance. The picture quality is outstanding for an ultra short throw projector. Colors are vibrant, contrast is strong, and 4K content looks sharp and cinematic at this size. In a dark room, the brightness is more than sufficient, and movies truly feel like a home theater experience. The built-in speakers are surprisingly good as well — easily good enough for casual viewing without an external sound system. I’m currently projecting onto a plain wall, and while the results are very good, it’s clear that this projector would really benefit from a dedicated UST/ALR projector screen. At 150 inches, minor wall imperfections become visible, and blacks and contrast would definitely improve with a proper screen. If you’re investing in a projector at this level, pairing it with a good screen will unlock its full potential. Setup was straightforward, focus and keystone adjustments are easy, and the overall build quality feels premium. Smart features and interface are smooth and responsive. Pros: • Excellent image quality in dark rooms • Handles very large screen sizes well (150”+) • Strong brightness and color reproduction • Good built-in audio • Premium build and easy setup Cons: • To get the best results, a dedicated projector screen is highly recommended • Wall projection is good, but not ideal at this size Verdict: If you’re looking for a high-quality UST projector for a large-screen home theater, the XGIMI Aura 2 is a fantastic choice. Just budget for a proper screen if you want the absolute best experience.

I recently upgraded my home cinema setup with the XGIMI Aura 2 Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector, and it has truly transformed the way I enjoy movies, shows, and games. From the moment I powered it on, this projector impresses on every level. First and foremost, the picture quality is outstanding. With 4K UHD resolution and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced, colors are rich, contrast is deep, and visuals feel incredibly lifelike easily comparable to a premium television on a massive screen. At up to 150″ projection size from just inches away thanks to its UST (ultra-short-throw) design, it fills my living room wall beautifully without complicating the installation process. Setting up the Aura 2 was refreshingly simple. Intelligent tools like auto-focus, auto-keystone, and adaptive wall correction mean I got a perfectly aligned large image in minutes no fiddling with mounts or manual adjustments. The built-in Harman Kardon audio with Dolby Atmos compatibility delivers impressively immersive sound straight from the unit, reducing my need for external speakers. The design itself feels premium and blends seamlessly into my living space. What I also appreciate is the thoughtful feature set from smart ambient light sensing to quick wake/sleep modes, it’s clear XGIMI focused on both performance and everyday convenience. Overall, the XGIMI Aura 2 delivers cinematic visuals, rich audio, and user-friendly setup in one sleek package. It’s well worth considering for anyone seeking a high-end home cinema experience without the fuss of traditional projectors or bulky screens.

Amazing Projector, very bright and can be watched even with lights on, colour accuracy is excellent, auto focus function is one of the best, sound setup is amazing very clear with mesmerising surround effect, design is best in class which act as art piece

I recently purchased the XGIMI AURA 2 Ultra Short Throw projector, and it has exceeded my expectations. The projector quality is outstanding. It runs silently, with no noticeable fan noise, and performs exceptionally well even in well-lit rooms, which was one of my biggest concerns before buying. Paired with a UST ALR screen, the output honestly looks just like a high-end television. The contrast levels are excellent, colors are rich, and the overall viewing experience feels truly premium. It also has a motorised dust cover which I think is necessary when the object has a high end lenses. It’s also great for gaming, with smooth performance and an immersive large-screen feel. A special mention to the Frootle India team, they were extremely helpful and patient. They answered all my questions in detail before the purchase, which made the decision much easier and gave me confidence. The only areas where I feel XGIMI can improve: • Warranty: LG offers a 3-year warranty on their UST projectors, whereas XGIMI provides only 1 year. I had to purchase an additional year, making it 2 years total. I strongly feel XGIMI should offer at least 2 years standard warranty, with an option to extend to 3 years to compete better with LG. • Native Netflix: The absence of native Netflix support on Google TV is noticeable. Adding this would make the experience even more complete. That said, in terms of performance, picture quality, and overall experience, the AURA 2 is actually better than LG’s UST projectors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to replace a TV with a cinematic, premium home-theatre setup.

An excellent purchase. Great projector, good colours, intensity and sound quality. Works great on my 150 inch screen. Great for a home theatre system. Easy to install and operate. Certainly value for money.
