Xgimi tells Projector Screen that its Aura 3 Max ultra-short throw projector can beam a bright (5,700 ISO lumens) 120-inch image onto a screen from just eight inches away, with a claimed 8,000:1 native contrast thanks to new dual-iris control. It supports 4K / 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM, with a claimed input lag as low as 1ms which could make it an interesting choice for gamers when it debuts on Kickstarter later this year. It won’t be cheap.
