Should I get the Titan Noir? Advice needed!

Hi all,

So I don’t have any previous experiences with beamers, but I’ve been reading up a lot.

I became interested in the Xgimi Horizon 20 series, as it’s suitable for movies and gaming, has good speakers and has enough power for daytime viewing. (I want a good image, but I’m not a purist about it.)

However, this is my situation in the living room:
- Distance from projector is about 3.10m
- My (white) wall is 1,65m in width, translating to 75 inch screen size. (It’s a protruding piece of wall, so on both sides there’s more wall basicly, but it can’t be used for a bigger image.)
- Projector is a bit off-center on a shelf, so lens-shift is preferred to keystone correction. Ceiling mount isn’t possible. (We have old decorative plaster ceilings.)
- I’ll be watching mostly during the evening (dark but not pitchblack) but I want it to be suited for daytime viewing as well (lots of ambient light, but no direct sunlight)

So the throw ratio of the Horizon 20 series isn’t enough, I need about 1,94x optical zoom. And before anyone says so: no I don’t want a TV on the wall. And it’s ok for me to spend around 2500.

Now I’m looking at the Xgimi Titan Noir Kickstarter series, considering the base model or the Pro model.

Any thoughts on what model is suited for me, considering the relatively small size of the image? (I don’t need the brightness to be overkill.) Or any recommendations for other beamers that better match my need?
