Xgimi Aura 3 Max, Aura 3 Pro ALR screen pack: Kickstarter price update

20.10.2026 • 17h47

Following on from our news published about the new series of Xgimi Aura 3 video projectors, whose Kickstarter campaign starts today, Tuesday, October 20. If the prices of the projectors alone were already known, on the occasion of this campaign, we finally know the prices of the Xgimi Aura 3 bundles accompanied by a fixed ALR technical projection screen or a Floor Rising model.

In addition to the prices of the new Xgimi Aura 3 Pro and Xgimi Aura 3 Max video projectors already known (see at the bottom of this news item) and the contrast ratio of the Aura 3 Pro (see below), we therefore have confirmation that the superb ALR Ascend speaker/screen cabinet originally presented at the CES 2025 trade show in Las Vegas (cf. our CES 25 news item > Xgimi Ascend, the ultimate motorized screen for video projection?) is indeed offered in a bundle with the Aura 3 projectors (exclusively via this Kickstarter campaign according to the manufacturer), in 100" (254 cm) or 120" (305 cm). Another piece of good news: the Aura 3 models are also available in other bundles, with a fixed 100"/120" ALR Fresnel screen or with a 100"/120" Floor Rising Spectra Vantage screen.

Xgimi Ascend, 100" or 120" ALR screen and Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Thus, it is possible to order one of the two video projectors alone, or in a bundle with the Xgimi Ascend. Note that the latter will be available in two versions, 100" and 120", and the Harman Kardon sound section offers a [abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc] 5.1.2 configuration (the surrounds use reflection of the side speakers on the walls and two up-firing speakers are located at the ends of the cabinet) with a subwoofer isolated within the wooden structure of the soundbar, in order to avoid vibrations. The total output power is 60 watts. The ALR screen (ambient light rejection), combined with a wide viewing angle and optimized contrast, delivers a bright and dynamic image regardless of lighting conditions. It is therefore possible to enjoy your video projector even in broad daylight.

For the Xgimi Aura 3 + fixed ALR Fresnel screen or Xgimi Aura 3 + Floor Rising Spectra Vantage screen bundles, the goal remains the same except for the absence of an integrated sound section of course.

Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: brightness and projection ratio The new range is built around two models sharing the same core visual technologies, the Aura 3 Pro and the flagship, the Aura 3 Max. The latter is designed for very large spaces with a claimed brightness of 5,700 lumens, while the former delivers 4,100 lumens.

With an ultra-short throw ratio of 0.163:1, the video projector is capable of displaying a 120" (305 cm) diagonal image with a throw distance of just 20 cm from the screen. Beyond its raw performance, Xgimi has also focused on home integration with the Xgimi Wall app, turning the device into a true decorative digital canvas when it is not showing movies.

Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: Dynamic Dual Iris optics and controlled contrast The heart of the Aura 3 series lies in the unprecedented integration of an optical system called Dynamic Dual Iris. By combining a dynamic iris that adjusts in real time to scene brightness with a second physical aperture, Xgimi promises deeper blacks and more detail in low-light scenes. The manufacturer thus announces an impressive native contrast reaching 8,000:1 for the Xgimi Aura 3 Max, 7,000:1 for the Aura 3 Pro. Image processing is handled by the new X-Vision AI intelligent processor, notably managing Dynamic Tone Mapping to optimize color rendering (110% of the BT2020 gamut announced).

Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: HDMI 2.1, 4K at 120 Hz and cutting-edge gaming The real evolution brought by the Aura 3 Max concerns its handling of very high-frequency video streams for video games. Based on two DLPC 8545 controllers coupled with a 0.47" [abc]DMD[/abc] matrix, it stands out as one of the first UST [abc]DLP[/abc] projectors capable of natively handling [abc]Ultra HD[/abc] [abc]4K[/abc] at 120 Hz via its [abc]HDMI[/abc] 2.1 inputs. The most demanding players will even be able to push fluidity up to 240 Hz at 1,080p resolution with an announced Input Lag of 1 millisecond. Support for [abc]VRR[/abc], [abc]ALLM[/abc] and Dolby Vision Gaming is included.

Xgimi Aura 3 Max and Pro: Imax Enhanced, Google TV and Harman Kardon sound On the cinema side, the Aura 3 series ticks all the boxes for premium [abc]HDR[/abc] formats with support for [abc]HDR Dolby Vision[/abc], [abc]HDR10+[/abc], [abc]Imax Enhanced[/abc], as well as classic [abc]HDR10[/abc] and [abc]HDR HLG[/abc]. Respect for the original work is ensured by the presence of Filmmaker Mode and native compatibility with 24, 25 and 50 frames per second.

Good news for 3D fans, cinematic 3D is included, along with two pairs of active glasses in the box. Hardware anti-RBE technology is also integrated to reduce the [abc]rainbow effect[/abc] in both 2D and 3D. The connected experience is powered by Google TV with certified Netflix, while sound reproduction is handled by a powerful 80 W Harman Kardon system, compatible with [abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc] and DTS Virtual:X.
