Title: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: brutalpanda on Dec 26, 2017 at 11:42 AM
Any H1 and H1S users? Need your inputs on its performance. Also, how to get one locally?

Thanks!

Xgimi H1 is an international version 950 ansi lumens, whereas Xgimi H1s is a chinese version 1100 ansi lumens according to specs.

There are many youtube videos on H1 performance.

I am into the market of Xgimi H1 which is already available at Lazada. ;D

Really tempted to buy it soon. There's a local supplier in Circuit Makati. I'll see if I can drop by for a demo.

That's great if you can have to  demo it first, before you pull a trigger on this. ;D  BTW how much this in  Circuit Makati?

I think it's around 39-40k. They also had a store at Vertis North but they only had the Z4 Aurora as demo unit. The store is Smart Future if I remember correctly

Finally bit the bullet and bought the projector. Got it for a total price of P39,475. Overall, I'm really impressed. Loving the picture quality but really surprised by how good the Harman Kardon speakers are. Now I just need a proper projection screen and wall mount.

And oh, for those who asked, no demo unit available for both branches. Z4 Aurora lang talaga meron on-hand and for testing. I had to coordinate via their Shopee  account to get the unit from their Head Office to the retail store on the same day since I wanted to do it via Credit Card purchase. Head office is cash basis only.

GREAT! Congratulations :D ;D  Is this your first projector?

The price is almost the same from Lazada store. Waiting for your review ;D

Title: Re: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: brutalpanda on Jan 03, 2018 at 12:32 PM
Yup. First projector. Been holding off the purchase for more than a year. Originally was going for a BenQ refurb.
Title: Re: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: LouPah on Jan 03, 2018 at 01:13 PM
I think you've got the right choice. Benq projector is just a projector, while H1 is all in one projector.
Image quality wise hmm...hindi naman siguro nagkakalayo, pero since H1 is being Led projector, no worry
about  lamp replacement, unlike BenQ.

Yep, I'll have a review up soon. Planning to do one for my blog. I noticed that you mentioned you were doing a DIY projector screen on some of the older threads. Any tips?

I'm looking into getting this from aliexpress and stapling it onto a fixed frame:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-4-2-5m-High-Brightness-Projector-screen-reflective-cloth-projection-screens-for-Epson-Sony-Benq/32835005115.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.2.z4ooF8&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_10342_10343_10059_10340_10314_10341_10534_100031_10084_10604_10083_10103_10307_10142,searchweb201603_40,ppcSwitch_7&algo_expid=bb7e0afc-0333-45a4-91b2-2ad32c4cde69-0&algo_pvid=bb7e0afc-0333-45a4-91b2-2ad32c4cde69&transAbTest=ae803_4&priceBeautifyAB=0

Any idea if this is a good material to use or are there cheaper alternatives available locally?
Title: Re: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: LouPah on Jan 04, 2018 at 12:30 PM
Out of curiosity, I made a 72" fixed screen. The material I've used was also from Ali-express but in different seller. Here is the

result.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k9GFY6pSRk   ;D ;D ;D

I really liked the image quality output, than my ordinary white 92" pull down screen.

But, it's pain to locate the exact location until I've found out that you must on the center of the screen, because the

cloth material is reflective therefore it has only a limited angle. >:(

Here is my 92" ordinary white pull down screen. No viewing angle problem......   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ls9Jiqnea8&t=113s

Hmmm.. hirap sagutin not sure if yung size affected the overall PQ ng epson.. Nasa 120 inch kasi nakaproject sa Epson.. Sa Xgimi around 90 lang ata.. Mas better for me Xgimi if 90inch screen..Try namin sya gawin 120 if may diff ba :)

mga sir, ano marecommend nyong same specs ng H1 without the speakers, w/in the same price range? I will be using it with my 110" fixed screen. - coming from Optoma HD33. Thanks!
Title: Re: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: LouPah on Jan 24, 2018 at 11:06 AM
AFAIK most projectors with this specs. and price category has speakers. Pagandahan pa nga ng tunog eh, me too useless lang din yung speakers ng projector lalo na if ur using it for dedicated hometheater. Syempre mas gusto ko sounds and dialog is coming in front of you, not from your back. Sa mga UST projectors naman mas ideal ang magagandang tunog ng speakers of projector itself.
Title: Re: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: dts_hdma on Jan 25, 2018 at 06:45 AM
useless talaga sir!  ;D Naghahanap ako baka meron, I'm sure mas mura pa sana. Gusto ko na nga patulan mga 10k below range na 720p LED projectors, baka may marecommend ka sir? I will be using it in a totally dark room (basement)solely for downloaded movies(10gb below) only, and just being practical, any other features di ko din magagamit like wifi, bluetooth, speakers, etc. yung video lang talaga.  ::)

Dati akong Led86 user which is almost 10k lang, pero nag-upgrade ng Max500 dlp led projector ngayon, 20K plus price. Although still 720p native resolution but ang laki ng picture quality improvement over Led86 720p lcd projector.
But still longing for a true 1080p native resolution led projector, kaya napunta ako sa tread na to.  ;D

I think the design is nicer than Led86. The focus & keystone dials are easy to access on GP90 . On Led86 you have to physically turn left and right the lens, before you can adjust the focus. Can't say anything about the performance on GP90, I don't own it. :o

Title: Re: XGIMI H1 and H1S Users
Post by: Icermad on Mar 24, 2018 at 08:09 AM
Update: We removed the Epson and mounted the Xgimi.. We noticed immediately that the PQ of the TW8200 is superior in the 120inch screen. We also noticed better color accuracy and way better blacks in dark scenes like the opening scene in Thor Ragnarok or the Dark Scenes in Justice League. We also added a Darby Processor to improve the PQ of the H1.

But one thing we liked about the Xgimi is the Key Stone adjustment.. This is way better than the TW8200

Btw, do you guys know any setting/calibration for the H1?
