XGIMI 4K Horizon Ultra Projector Review

2023/10/12

Geek News, News, Reviews, Tech News, Tech Review

The XGIMI Horizon Ultra is a new 4K projector with Dolby Vision support that has quickly become one of the most popular choices for gamers. It offers many features that make it ideal for gaming, including a low input lag, a high refresh rate, and support for HDR and, as mentioned, Dolby Vision. Unboxing the projector, I was met by a large white/beige box that had no discernible lens or projection mechanism. Sure, it has a host of input options on the back, but nothing of note on the front! I plugged the projector into an available power outlet and hit the power button. Amazingly, like those cool sports car headlights from the 80’s, the front bezel retracted to reveal a large, clear projector lens! It is such a cool geek moment when you turn the projector on and it prepares itself for the entertainment to come.

Here is the official product video for the projector:

The Horizon Ultra produces stunning image quality, with sharp details, vivid colors, and deep blacks. This is thanks to its 4K resolution, Dolby Vision support, and high contrast ratio. The projector also performs well in bright ambient light, making it suitable for use in living rooms and other well-lit spaces.

The Horizon Ultra is a great projector for gaming, thanks to its low input lag and high refresh rate. The input lag is just 8.3ms, which is lower than most TVs and monitors. This means that there is very little delay between your inputs and the action on the screen, giving you a competitive edge in games. The Horizon Ultra also supports a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This means that you can enjoy smooth and fluid gameplay, even in fast-paced games like shooters and racing games. With support for both HDR and Dolby Vision, you can enjoy games with enhanced brightness, contrast, and color. Both technologies make games look incredibly realistic and immersive on the Horizon Ultra, with stunning visuals that will blow you away.

All the inputs!

In addition to its excellent gaming performance, the Horizon Ultra is a great choice for all-around use. It has a built-in Android TV operating system, which gives you access to a wide range of streaming apps, games, and other content. The projector also has several smart features, such as automatic keystone correction and autofocus. The smart projector trend which we are enjoying now is an absolute blessing. It wasn’t so long ago that projectors required an external source for their input signals. I remember having to creatively-wrap HDMI cable around my couch so that the Blu-ray player would be able to connect. You can still do that if you wish, but there is plenty of excellent 4K content available by way of the built-in apps. It features both Wi-Fi and a LAN port to allow you the most options for your network setup.

A true projector beauty!

One area that projectors often fail at is their built-in speaker tech. Thankfully, XGIMI is not dropping the ball here either. The projector is equipped with two 12W Harman Kardon speakers that are more than up to the task of movie or game audio. Not missing a beat, there is still an optical output on the back of the project or if you would rather use an external speaker setup.

The one thing that might not work with a gamer’s setup is that the projector features a rather long throw ratio with a max projection size of 200 inches! This beast was made for the home theater environment. It also features a ton of automatic, internal intelligent features like eye protection, obstacle avoidance, and more.

The XGIMI Horizon Ultra is an excellent projector for gamers, offering a combination of low input lag, high refresh rate, and HDR/Dolby Vision support that is unmatched by any other projector in its price range. It is also a great all-around projector, with a built-in Android TV operating system, smart features, and good image quality in bright ambient light. It retails for $1699, so it isn’t cheap, but it is a lot more feature-packed and capable than more expensive projectors on the market. If you’ve got the means and the living room space, you will not be disappointed.

If you are looking for a projector that will give you the best possible gaming experience, the Horizon Ultra is a great option to consider.

Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Official School Bus Extension Review

2023/10/12

Geek News, News, Reviews, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Windows PC Review

Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Official School Bus Extension is a DLC for the popular bus simulation game Bus Simulator 21. This new extension was released on September 7, 2022, and adds three new school buses, new missions, and new plenty of new features to the game. The new school buses are all officially licensed from the American manufacturer Blue Bird. They include the All American FE, the All American RE, and the Vision. These buses are all well-designed and accurately modeled, and they provide a realistic driving experience. Each of the buses handles how they seem to in real life. They are realistically sluggish and have a feeling of weight and mass to them.

The new missions are all centered around school trips. Players must pick up children at various stops around the city, transport them safely and punctually to their schools, and then pick them up again at the end of the day. These missions can be challenging, but they are also a lot of fun. They are short enough to keep things moving but long enough to be worth the money of the extension. While the overall experience is a lot of fun, it is not without bugs. The most frustrating thing I encountered was that the awarding of points for use of the stop arm and lights is very buggy and I’ve only got them to trigger properly once. In addition to the new missions, the DLC also adds a number of new features to the game. These include new bus stops, new school buildings, and new NPCs. The new bus stops are located near schools and other important landmarks, and they make it easier for players to pick up and drop off passengers. The new school buildings are also well-designed and accurately modeled. The new NPCs are children, and they add a new level of realism to the game.

The Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Official School Bus Extension is one of those gaming experiences that allows you to pass the time with a zen-like driving experience. The game is compatible with most of the big driving peripherals and I loved using my Logitech wheel and pedals while driving my routes. The only thing that would make the game better would be for it to have full VR support.

Overall, Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Official School Bus Extension is a great DLC that adds a lot of new content to the game. The new school buses are well-designed and accurately modeled, the new missions are challenging and fun, and the new features make the game more realistic and immersive.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Comes to Disney+

2023/10/10
Jerry Paxton
Geek News, Movie News, News

The feature film that started it all, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” comes to Disney+ in a beautiful 4K restoration October 16, in celebration of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. This restored version of the 1937 classic is the result of the combined efforts of the Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team, working closely with key artists from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the same team who recently worked together on the critically-acclaimed restoration of Walt Disney’s 1950 animated classic, “Cinderella.”

Disney Animation artists Michael Giaimo (production designer for the upcoming animated musical adventure “Wish,” as well as “Frozen” and “Frozen 2”) and animator/director Eric Goldberg (head of hand-drawn animation for Disney Animation’s newest short, “Once Upon A Studio,” director, “Pocahontas,” “Fantasia/2000”) were honored to re-team with their colleagues at Walt Disney Studios on the project.

“The opportunity to help restore Snow White was both an honor and a challenge,” said Goldberg. “As the very first Walt Disney feature, Mike Giaimo and I felt we owed a debt to history to get it looking as beautiful, and as accurate to the original colors, as we could. The muted palette and the delicate watercolor backgrounds evoke the illustrated fairy tales that Walt so loved, and the story and characters continue to resonate to this day. I hope our work inspires future generations of animation artists to fully appreciate the masterful talent and care that has gone into this landmark film.”

Kevin Schaeffer, director of Restoration for Walt Disney Studios, said. “We are incredibly excited to go back to Walt’s original negative and use current state of the art technology to restore this stunning classic to its original beauty.”

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” stands as one of the greatest triumphs in animation history, as the first full-length cel animated feature in the history of motion pictures. The film was recognized by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences with a special honorary Oscar® – one large Oscar accompanied by seven smaller ones – which was presented to Walt Disney by Shirley Temple. The film is the highest-ranked animated feature on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Movies” list, and was inducted into the National Film Registry in the registry’s inaugural year, 1989.

UNITED 1944 – Survivor Mode Gameplay Overview

2023/10/10
Jerry Paxton
Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

After a very successful beta playtest that kicked off in late September, developer Novarama is once again opening the doors to its crafting and building-oriented WWII shooter for an even longer time. Steam Next Fest kicks off today, and with it, we call everyone to the fight starting now and lasting until the celebrations end on October 16. The new Survivors mode, just introduced last month but quickly loved by players, makes a return, and we have an overview video if you haven’t watched it yet:

The classic domination matches are here. Squad up in 16v16 battles in the WWII theaters of France, where the push inward of the Allies was at its peak after D-Day, and of North Africa, where battles for control of large regions had an important effect in changing the tide of war. You’ll be scavenging for resources, fortifying bases, defending outposts, crafting your gear and fighting the enemy in WWII battles that aim to be realistic yet rooted in fun gameplay.

The recently introduced Survivors mode, which brings an extraction experience to the game, also makes a return after a very positive reception from players. This mode takes the scavenging and open construction approach to a whole new level of tension. It’s a dog-eat-dog world: everyone is an enemy, and your only means of staying alive is what you can find around you. Look for resources, explore the city, and set up improvised bases anywhere as you fight for survival. Build, raid, kill, steal, scavenge, and destroy as you need for survival. Play for as long as you want, do your best to stay standing, and extract with as much loot as you’re capable of. Will you become a survivor of World War II… or will your bones be buried forever in this city?

The online demo runs for a full week during the entirety of Steam Next Fest, starting now and ending on Monday October 16 at 10 am PDT. Servers will be located in Europe, North America, and Asia to ensure that all players in these regions get a smooth experience in the battle trenches. This time, you won’t need to request access if you’re new to UNITED 1944, as you can simply download the demo from the game’s Steam page and go straight into battle after a short bootcamp session to teach you the basics.

Twitch drops make a return this time, and everyone watching creators streaming the game during Steam Next Fest will be able to get a weapon charm and a character outfit.
