00:00Would you replace your TV with a projector?
00:01Yes, definitely. It's better for the eyes.
00:03Each year, portable projectors get closer and closer to delivering a true TV-like experience.
00:08We now get 4K image quality, vibrant colors.
00:12Not to mention, we can actually move these from room to room,
00:15all with the flexibility of getting a screen of upwards of 200 inches.
00:19That's something you're definitely not getting on your standard TV, especially at this price point.
00:24But where projectors typically have still struggled up to this point
00:28is with brightness and gaming performance,
00:30especially when we're talking about form factors like this.
00:33And that's exactly where the X-Gaming for Ryzen 20 series is trying to change things.
00:38For the first time in an X-Gaming home projector, you're getting lens shift.
00:41This lets you move the image up, down, left, or right,
00:44vertically by 120% or horizontally by 45%,
00:48all without touching the projector and without losing sharpness or distorting the image.
00:53That's typically a feature you only see on projectors that cost $4,000 and up.
00:58What's the big benefit?
00:59You've got more flexibility in how you set up the screen.
01:02If your space is tighter or you don't want the projector perfectly centered in your room,
01:06this tech makes that possible.
01:08So that brings us to the three new models in the Verizon 20 lineup.
01:12The main difference between them is brightness.
01:15The Verizon 20 offers 3,200 ISO lumens.
01:18The Verizon 20 Pro jumps to 4,100.
01:20And the 20 Max, a whopping 5,700 lumens.
01:24X-Gaming is also debuting its new X-Master RGB triple laser engine,
01:29which promises improved sharpness, contrast, and saturation.
01:33You're getting IMAX enhanced, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 Plus support,
01:37with a claimed 20,000 to 1 contrast ratio.
01:41The image can be pushed up to 300 inches,
01:44which, let's be real, is probably bigger than most walls in your home.
01:47Still, X-Gaming recommends staying under 200 inches
01:50if you want the sharpest and brightest results.
01:53What excites me most is gaming, so let me show you what's new.
01:56The Verizon 20 series finally tackles latency and refresh rates.
02:00Latency is down to just 1 millisecond at 1080p 240Hz
02:04and 3 milliseconds at 4K 60Hz.
02:07Plus, we have VRR, Variable Refresh Rate,
02:10which supports smoother gameplay.
02:12We still don't have 4K 120 yet, but we're getting closer.
02:15On top of that, you're getting X-Gaming's latest auto-keystone
02:19and auto-focus features, which automatically adjusts your picture
02:22to avoid objects on your wall
02:24and give you the largest uninterrupted image possible.
02:27X-Gaming has always been really reliable at pulling this off,
02:30and I'm curious to test how well it holds up with this latest generation
02:33once we get our review unit in hands.
02:35Ports include optical audio, USB 3.1, USB 2.0,
02:39two full-size HDMI, one supporting EARC,
02:43and a 3.5mm audio output jack.
02:46Just like their recent releases,
02:47the Verizon 20 series runs Google TV out of the box.
02:50That means native Netflix support without sideloading.
02:53Plus, you get all the benefits of hands-free voice control
02:56through Google Home integration, which is awesome.
02:58Pricing starts at $1,700 for the base Horizon 20
03:01and goes to $3,000 for the Horizon 20 Max.
03:04Which one makes sense for you comes down to your budget
03:06and how bright your room is.
03:08The Horizon 20 Max obviously is going to give you the most flexibility
03:10if you want to be able to move this from room to room
03:13and still get the most vibrant picture during the day.
03:17If you pre-order before October 14th,
03:20you can save up to $750 to where they're including the base stand
03:24as well as a copy of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
03:27So, do you think you're ready to replace your traditional TV
03:31with a projector like this that gives you brighter picture quality
03:34and improved gaming performance?
03:36Not to mention, you're still getting that massive screen.
