Eight Upgrades from XGIMI AURA to AURA 2 UST 4K Laser Projector

What changes have we made when producing the new generation AURA 2 ultra-short throw laser projector 4K? There are eight main differences between AURA 2 and AURA, which include the light source, brightness, throw ratio, visual and audio technologies, color gamut, smart functions, latency, and size.

1. Light Source: Single Laser to Dual Light 2.0 Tech

XGIMI AURA 2 4K laser ultra short throw projector uses Dual Light 2.0 as a light source while AURA uses single Laser. What is Dual Light 2.0 and what are its advantages you may ask? It is the latest breakthrough from XGIMI combining Laser and LED. It uses "Wide Spectrum + Narrow Spectrum" hybrid light source technology for high-accuracy colors and comfortable viewing.

Projectors featuring laser light sources produce light of high intensity and a wider range of color than LED projectors. And the LED ones require less power to operate, saving more energy when used.

2. Brightness Output: 1800 to 2300 ISO Lumens

Compared to the AURA 4K UST laser projector with 1800 ISO Lumens, the XGIMI AURA 2 with 2300 ISO Lumens has a 28% increase in brightness. It prevents the image from washing out when you project content in brighter environments and more details could be shown even in the daytime. Vivid pictures and premium color fidelity enable you to get immersed in the movies thanks to the higher lumens.

3. Throw Ratio: 0.233:1 to 0.177:1 for Shorter Throw Distance

SpecificationsAURA 2AURA
Throw Ratio 0.177:10.233:1
Image Size90” - 150”80” - 150”

Note: Throw Ratio = Throw Distance / Image Width (TR = TD / IW)

XGIMI AUAR and AURA 2 both are 4K ultra short throw laser projectors with incredible throw ratio, being perfect for rooms of all sizes. AURA 2 can display a clear 100" image from just 17.8cm away, supporting image size of 90'' - 150''.

You can simply place it on a TV cabinet next to the screen or the wall that is projected. The UST projectors AURA and AURA 2 can connect to the power supply neatly and conveniently but also do not take up too much space. Moreover, when people walk in front of the screen, they will not block the projected light and get caught in the light.

4. Visuals and Audio: New Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced(OTA) Certified, and Dolby Atmos

XGIMI AURA and AURA 2 UST 4K laser projectors both provide cinematic viewing. On this basis, AURA 2 comes with the Dolby and IMAX Enhanced visuals, which satisfies the exacting criteria for quality established by Dolby and IMAX.

Also, it provides completely immersive audio of Dolby Atmos technology by the built-in 60W Harman Kardon speakers. And that effectively creates a three-dimensional soundscape in your house by going beyond conventional channel-based audio.

With the advancement of technologies, you can reach 4K, Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, and Atmos standards at home. Why not try to tra2nsform your living room into a home theater with exclusive visual and audio experiences?

5. Color Gamut: DCI-P3 80% to DCI-P3 99%

XGIMI AURA 2 4K UST laser TV projector features a color gamut (Coverage) of DCI-P3 99%, which is 19% higher compared to AURA of DCI-P3 80%. Given that color gamut indicates the amount of colors a projector is capable of displaying;2 it is an essential part of image quality. Higher color gamut projectors result in more realistic and bolder colors than widely used gamut devices.

In addition, AURA 2 has a stunning sharper contrast ratio of Dynamic 1000000:1, which represents the difference between light and dark on the screen. More natural and alive pictures can be achieved on the screen.

6. Smart Control: Advanced ISA 5.0 Tech for UST

XGIMI AURA 2 ultra short throw laser home theater projector is designed to have the Intelligent Screen Adaption (ISA) 5.0 for UST, covering functions like Auto Focus, Uninterrupted Auto Keystone, Wall Flatness Adaption, Wall Color Adaption, Screen Alignment Assist, Intelligent Eye Protection, and the Eco Mode (Smart Dynamic Sensing). AURA uses the 8-Point Keystone Correction & 4-Point Keystone Correction, allowing for flexible picture size adjustment.

7. Latency: Ultra-low Latency Mode of 20ms

AURA 2 ultra short throw 4K laser projector has an ultra-low latency down to 20ms (AK off). The difference in latency in milliseconds may sound trivial, but this "small" improvement can have a significant impact at some point. The low lag stands for a much better gaming experience when all your action is delivered in real time.

8. Dimension: Smaller Size and Weight for Better Space Utilization
