And, with the added Ambient Light Rejecting screen (sold separately), it creates a canvas effect, truly looking like artwork on a wall all while doubling as a home entertainment system. The anti-glare screen marks XGIMI’s first ALR screen to market, another exciting feat for the brand as it continues to expand its lineup. With the smartest adaptation system from XGIMI and the short-throw category yet, including uninterrupted auto keystone correction, wall flatness improvement, wall color adaptation, and smart cognition that awakes the projector when movement is sensed, the new AURA 2 optimizes the viewing experience for every environment. Screen Alignment Assist will automatically detect and align the image perfectly with the screen, while wall flatness improvement ensures a perfectly flat image, making any wall a perfect canvas for your display.

Also designed for gaming and sports enthusiasts, AURA 2 features a low latency gaming mode, MEMC for sports, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for seamless streaming. The AURA 2 can display up to 150”, making for a clear and large image, perfect for users looking to level up their viewing experience for gaming, movie-watching, sports, and more.
