AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote

The NexiGo Aurora Pro is highly regarded by the r/projectors community as a top-tier ultra-short throw (UST) projector, particularly praised for its exceptional black levels and performance in dark room environments. It is frequently recommended as a high-value alternative to more expensive models, offering quiet operation and strong contrast. However, it faces criticism for a persistent bug regarding 24p content playback and potential eye strain related to tri-laser speckle.

Pros

  • Superior black levels and contrast compared to many competitors in its price range
  • Excellent performance for dedicated dark room viewing
  • Very quiet operation, noted at approximately 26 dB
  • Strong connectivity options, including three HDMI ports with eARC support
  • Competitive pricing, often cited as a better value than high-end traditional projectors

Cons

  • Known bug with 24p content playback that may require workarounds
  • Lower lumen count compared to some rival UST projectors
  • Potential for tri-laser speckle which can cause eye strain for sensitive users

Caveats

  • The 24p playback issue is described as a bug that most reviewers miss but long-term users encounter
  • Often recommended to be paired specifically with a Fresnel screen for optimal results
  • Users have mentioned the existence of a newer 'Mk II' version, which may address some older model limitations

Best for

  • Dedicated home theater setups with controlled lighting
  • Users prioritizing deep blacks and high contrast over raw brightness
  • Environments where projector fan noise is a concern

Avoid if

  • You are highly sensitive to laser speckle or 'rainbow' effects
  • You primarily watch 24p cinematic content and want native, bug-free playback
  • You need a high-brightness unit for a room with significant ambient light

This summary uses balanced time weighting with about a 6-month half-life. The evidence is older, with a median source age of approximately 590 days, which may affect its relevance compared to the latest hardware iterations.

Otherwise look at the Nexigo Aurora Pro, or the Aurora Pro Mk II, or a PX3-Pro.

Nexigo Aurora Pro, the non-MK II version. It's still one of the best UST projectors for dark room viewing especially.

a $2000-ish Nexigo Aurora Pro provides a better image and better dark room viewing than the LS11000 (haven't seen it with my own eyes, have seen a comparo online by The Hook Up).

NexiGo has less Lumes but perform better in low light and on par with Hisense.

Nexigo is not as big as BenQ but they have proved themself over the years with the Nexigo Aurora Pro.

For the budget, I would recommend Nexigo Aurora Pro + Fresnel screen.
positive · u/C****8 · r/projectors · comment · Jul 14, 2025 · open on Reddit ↗
The Nexigo Aurora pro at $1999 is a better option than both.

I have a nexigo aurora pro. Is this mount standardized or does it only work for your specific model?
