Xgimi plans to bring H2 (sucessor of H1) - https://www.xgimi.com/en/H2-immersive-home-projector.html#/specification
1350 Lumens on H2 Vs 900 on H1.. Almost 50% or more brightness than H1.. Would be the brightest LED projector i guess..
Throw ratio is mentioned as 1.2:1 o H2 Vs 1.5:1 on H1.. So bigger image from a shorter distance..
Hoping for a 4K resolution projector sooner from them..

Ok.. Saw a facebook notification as coming soon..
They announced H2 last May.
Also they have some A series, which I assume is 4k, not sure though

I covered my entire living room glossy tiled floor with dark grey / black mat.. (sort of a carpet)..
I found this mat, from a near by wooden scrap dealer..
Thickness = 2 ~ 3 mm, aval in only dark grey colour..
Pre-cut size (irregularly cut sides), approx 5.5 ft x 4 ft..
Weight - Each piece weighs about 4 Kgs and sold per kilo and not per piece..
Price - Rs 80/Kg..
So took around 8 pieces of it to cover my entire floor of 14 x 11ft, it weighed at 30 Kgs, so paid Rs 2,400 for it + Rs 100 for Auto to ship it to my place..
Totally spent Rs 2,500.. I cut them to regular shapes (corners) to neatly fit beside each other..
The projector screen was very close to floor than to ceiling.. Abt 1 ft from my glossy tiled floor.. The whole room used to light up (reflection) when watching movie in near dark condition..
After adding this mat, it has completely cutdown the reflection of the floor and this has improved the contrast very much.. Colours look rich on the AT screen (Fabric)..
There are some reflections of the sidewalls & ceiling, though not as much as the floor.. Thinking of getting a similar material to cover the side walls until the height of projection screen (or) slightly higher to absorb the light straying in the room.. Guess this should improve the contrast even more..

It proves that you are a bachelor. No married man will have the guts to add this to the living room
Ha ha.. Thx.. Am married, have a 3.5 yrs old kid.. I did this as trial and the cost involved wasn't too much Rs 2,500.. Worth it i would say..
Thx.. Sure.. It has been long pending.. Am planning to add broadband absorption panels sooner to the front wall where ever possible.. Once that is done, will try to get the casing for wires, as final one..
Was just kidding... However in my opinion, a custom made carpet which fits your room will be a better option

Hey guys, how do I select input sources ? I have fire tv stick plugged in hdmi1. I go into system setup > signal source and select HDMI1 and nothing happens. I restart the projector and then a prompt comes asking me if I want to switch to hdmi1. Is this a known issue or I don’t know how to do it ?
How do I select a specific input source ?

Found my answer to this. On the H2, press the third button from the top for 3 seconds and a window appears that allows you to select signal source and all other common settings.

Here are my settings on my projector for a fabric screen. (low gain 0.6)..
User
Contrast - 40
Brightness - 67
Hue - 35
Sharpness - 33
Saturation - 41
Colour Temperature - Nature
Luminance - 7
The above values are after using Spears & Munsil calibration Disc using blue filter..
If you are using vinyl based screen, then you may have to reduce the brightness a bit.. Check what works for you..

On Xgimi H1, we need to press the home button on the remote and select the input..
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
