Not every XGIMI projector is a gaming projector. These are the published figures, and what they mean once the projector is on your wall.
For gaming, the HORIZON 20 family is the answer: XGIMI publishes 1ms input lag at 1080p240Hz, 2.2ms at 1080p120Hz and 3ms at 4K60Hz on the 20 Pro and 20 Max, with VRR and ALLM on the HORIZON 20. AURA 2 publishes latency down to 20ms. The portables — MoGo 4 and MoGo 4 Laser at ≤20ms, Halo+ at ≤27ms at 1080p60 — are fine for casual play but those figures assume auto keystone is switched off.
Please note: XGIMI projector demonstrations are currently not available at our experience centres. We continue to help with model selection, room planning, screen selection, installation and calibration — contact us to discuss your room.
On the portables, the headline latency figure assumes auto keystone is off. Switch it on and XGIMI's own numbers rise to ≤56ms on the MoGo 4 and ≤60ms on the Halo+. If you game on a portable, square the projector to the screen physically and turn the correction off.
The HORIZON 20 Pro and Max publish 240Hz at 1080p, 120Hz at 1080p and 60Hz at 4K. Competitive shooters benefit from the high-refresh 1080p modes; single-player and cinematic games are better at 4K60 with HDR. You can switch per game — the projector does not have to be set up one way.
Games are often played in the evening with some room light on. That favours a higher-brightness model and an ambient-light-rejecting screen. Gaming also burns static HUD elements into your attention rather than the panel — projectors have no burn-in risk, which is one genuine advantage over an OLED television.
Only the models whose published specifications support this use case are listed.

A projector is one component. The result people actually remember comes from the whole chain: display, screen, sound, room treatment and control. This is the part LiveInSmart does day to day — see our home theatre setup guide and Dolby Atmos page.
XGIMI publishes a 1-year limited warranty for MoGo 4, MoGo 4 Laser and Halo+, and a 2-year limited warranty for HORIZON 20, HORIZON 20 Pro, HORIZON 20 Max and AURA 2. Verify the warranty terms applicable to the exact model and region before making a decision.

XGIMI publishes 1ms at 1080p240Hz on the HORIZON 20 Pro and HORIZON 20 Max, and 1ms up to 240Hz on the HORIZON 20.
XGIMI lists VRR and ALLM for the HORIZON 20. For other models, only figures stated on the specification sheet are included.
Yes, on a low-latency model. Connect over HDMI, use the low-latency picture mode, and switch off keystone correction and motion interpolation, which both add delay.
For casual and couch multiplayer, yes — MoGo 4 and MoGo 4 Laser publish ≤20ms at 1080p60 with auto keystone off. For competitive play, the HORIZON 20 family is the right class of product.
Motion interpolation adds processing delay by design. Leave it off for gaming and use it, if at all, for film content.
