XGIMI MIRA Pro review

The MIRA Pro is the one that makes the expensive projectors explain themselves. For $1,699 on November 13, 2026 you get an RGB triple laser, 3,000 ISO lumens, 110% of BT.2020, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, plus a gaming mode XGIMI rates at 1 ms at 1080p/240 Hz. It weighs 11.7 lb, sets itself up with automatic screen alignment, and carries a 2-year warranty with a 30-day money-back guarantee. What you give up is size: XGIMI rates it for pictures from 80 to 120 inches, not the 150 most rivals reach.

A year or two ago, RGB triple laser was the feature that pushed an ultra short throw past $3,000. Cheaper models used a single blue laser with a phosphor wheel, which is fine for brightness and narrow on color. The MIRA Pro uses separate red, green and blue lasers and XGIMI claims 110% of the BT.2020 gamut, the same figure Hisense and AWOL print on projectors costing twice as much.

The saving shows up elsewhere. The body is small (18.3 by 10.6 inches), the speakers are 36 W, and the picture range stops at 120 inches. If your wall takes a 100 or 110-inch screen anyway, none of that costs you anything. The AWOL LTV-3000 Pro is the same price with 2,000 lumens and a 150-inch reach; that is the trade to weigh.

It is specific, which is more than most brands manage. XGIMI's footnote reads: Game Mode, VRR on, 1 ms at 1080p/240 Hz. So the headline number applies when your console or PC sends 1080p at a very high refresh rate. At 4K/60 the lag will be higher, and XGIMI doesn't publish that figure on the page.

For a living-room console that still makes this one of the best-documented gaming projectors we list: it handles 120 Hz and VRR, and it sits No. 3 of 9 in our ranking of UST projectors for gaming, and everything above it costs more than twice as much. There is no ALLM mention on the page, so you may need to switch Game Mode on yourself.

Per XGIMI: the MIRA Pro projector, a backlit Bluetooth remote with two AAA batteries, a power cable with an external power supply, and the manual with the warranty card. No HDMI cable is listed, so have one ready for your console.

This is the easy one. Set it on the console, roughly centered; with a 0.175:1 throw ratio the lens plane sits about 15.3 inches from the screen for a 100-inch picture. XGIMI's ISA 5.0 for UST then squares the image to your screen and the motorized focus sharpens it. Sign in to Google TV and you are watching. Switch to Game Mode by hand before you play.

For another picture size, our throw distance calculator works out the gap between lens and screen for the MIRA Pro.

Budget for a screen: a 100-inch ALR screen made for ultra short throws runs from about $500 to well over $1,000, and it does more for daytime contrast than any setting. Shipping is free. The price we list is XGIMI's early Black Friday price; the regular price shown is $1,999, so check which one applies on the day you buy.

Per 1,000 lumens claimed, that is $566: the figure our tie-break uses when two projectors land on the same score.

Each criterion is marked from the figure XGIMI publishes; anything it doesn't publish gets the lowest mark. The weighted result is placed on our 7.5 to 9.6 scale. The scales and the weights are on our methodology page.

$1,699 on XGIMI's own US store on November 13, 2026. Early Black Friday price on XGIMI's US store on November 13, 2026; XGIMI lists $1,999 as the regular price.

One step up, the Formovie Cinema Edge is $1,799 for 8.1/10. We link to the brand's store because that is where we read the price and the stock.

The two closest in price: AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro ($1,699, 8.8/10) and Formovie Cinema Edge ($1,799, 8.1/10). Put all three side by side.
