Gaming features and screen delivery timing
AURA 3 Max combines 4K 120Hz support with AMD FreeSync Premium, VRR and ALLM. XGIMI says the higher refresh rate may also make rainbow artifacts less noticeable, while its Anti-RBE technology targets that effect during both 3D and 2D viewing.
For films and streaming, AURA 3 Max includes Google TV and supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision®, Filmmaker Mode, HLG and IMAX Enhanced. Its built-in Harman Kardon speaker system is rated at 80W and supports Dolby Atmos, while two pairs of glasses are included for 3D viewing.
Screen bundles include AURA 3 Max paired with a 120-inch Fresnel ALR Screen for a Kickstarter introductory price of $3,699, against an MSRP of $6,998. XGIMI expects fixed ALR screen shipments to begin in January 2027, followed in February 2027 by its XGIMI Ascend floor-rising screens.
