XGIMI launched its first professional-grade 4K laser projector, TITAN, on February 27 for ¥698,000, with a limited-time discounted price of ¥598,000.
The flagship TITAN targets home theater enthusiasts, featuring a large 0.78-inch DMD chip delivering roughly 2.8× reflective area and 4× luminous flux versus typical 0.47-inch DLP chips.
Dual-laser light source achieves 5,000 ISO lumens brightness, native 4K resolution (3,840×2,160), and a 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for cinematic depth.
XGIMI’s push into “pro” territory reads less like a spec chase and more like a rethink of the entire optical and processing chain. The move to a physically larger micromirror array isn’t just about raw output; it changes how the light engine behaves under stress, improving fill factor, reducing diffraction artifacts, and giving the lens more coherent light to work with. Paired with a full lens-shift mechanism and true optical zoom, the projector starts to resemble traditional cinema hardware rather than lifestyle DLP. For installers, that matters: mechanical adjustment preserves pixel integrity in a way digital correction never does, keeping edge focus and geometry intact across large screens.
The triple-chip pipeline also signals a philosophical shift. By separating decode, image intelligence, and light modulation into discrete silicon roles, XGIMI is clearly chasing signal stability and temporal consistency rather than flashy post-processing. Forum veterans will recognize the benefit: fewer compromises between tone-mapping, motion handling, and color volume when HDR metadata gets complex. The inclusion of filmmaker-oriented modes alongside IMAX profiles suggests an understanding that accuracy and spectacle are not the same thing, and that users may want to choose between them depending on content rather than letting an algorithm decide.
One understated but telling decision is the lack of a built-in OS. Shipping the projector as a “pure display” with an external streaming stick keeps the video path cleaner and future-proofs the platform against software rot—an approach long favored in high-end AV circles. Even the eye-protection system, with its multi-sensor approach, feels more like industrial safety engineering than consumer convenience. Taken together, TITAN positions XGIMI less as a gadget brand stretching upward, and more as a manufacturer attempting to speak the language of serious home cinema.
