A 200-inch home theater for under $1,000 is the kind of deal you notice

A projector is one of the few upgrades that can make your living room feel completely different overnight. Not “slightly better,” but “how is this my house?” different—especially when you start talking about a screen size up to 200 inches. The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra 4K projector is down to $998.99, a 41% discount from $1,699.99. If you’ve been tempted by a big TV but don’t want to spend flagship-TV money, this deal is a compelling shortcut to a true home theater experience.

What you’re getting

This is a 4K home theater projector with Dolby Vision support, rated at 2300 ISO lumens, and it includes dual 12W Harman Kardon speakers built in. It also supports WiFi and Bluetooth, uses a dual light setup, offers active 3D, and is marketed for projection sizes up to 200 inches.

In practical terms, you’re getting a projector built for modern streaming and cinematic formats, with brightness intended to hold up better than entry-level models (especially in rooms that aren’t pitch black). The built-in speakers won’t replace a dedicated surround system, but they can be “good enough” to get you started without buying audio gear immediately.

Why it’s worth it

The story here is the price. Dropping to $998.99 is a meaningful change from the typical “premium projector” tier, and it puts a feature-packed model into a bracket where a lot of people start comparing it to a midrange TV.

A few realistic reasons this can be a great buy:

  • Big-screen value: if you want the “cinema scale” look, projectors deliver that at a price TVs struggle to match at huge sizes.
  • Flexible setup: you can create a theater vibe without committing to a permanent giant panel on the wall.
  • Instant wow-factor: movies, sports, and gaming feel more event-like simply because of scale.

A practical note: projectors are best when you control light. If your room is bright during the day, you’ll get the most out of this in the evening or with shades drawn.

The bottom line

At $998.99, the XGIMI HORIZON Ultra is a strong value if you want a modern 4K projector with Dolby Vision support and the ability to go truly big-screen without spending premium-TV money. If you mostly watch in bright daylight with lots of windows, you may be happier with a TV. But if your goal is “movie night at home” with a screen that feels massive, this deal is absolutely worth considering.
