A large picture close to the wall
XGIMI AURA 3 Series combines 4K 120Hz playback with ultra short throw projection, and AURA 3 Max can produce a 120-inch picture with its chassis 8 inches away from the wall (opens in a new tab). US Super Early Bird pricing puts AURA 3 Max at $2,199 and AURA 3 Pro at $1,999. XGIMI expects shipping to start in December 2026, following pledge order.

XGIMI rates AURA 3 Max at 5,700 ISO lumens and AURA 3 Pro at 4,100 ISO lumens, recommending the brighter model for daytime viewing and the Pro for rooms with controlled lighting. Both models support Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced and use RGB triple laser illumination.
Measure the wall and check the source
A 120-inch picture in 16:9 proportions measures approximately 105 inches across and 59 inches vertically, before allowing space around it. XGIMI suggests seating about 7.5 to 10 feet away for that size. The console needs sufficient depth, stability and a level surface, while a soundbar or furniture lip obstructing the lens can cut off the picture's lower portion.
For daylight viewing, XGIMI recommends an ambient light rejecting screen designed for ultra short throw projection. That screen redirects overhead light while retaining the projector's angled light, but narrows the viewing cone. XGIMI also advises keeping sunlight and lamp light away from the projected picture.
To feed the projector 4K at 120Hz, the connected source must output that signal and the cable must be Ultra High Speed HDMI. XGIMI says an older High Speed HDMI cable does not meet that requirement.
Before committing to a 120-inch setup, allow roughly 105 inches of wall width plus margins, and position the soundbar clear of the projector's light path.
