Xgimi has unveiled its latest flagship projector, the X50 Ultra Max, positioning it as a “professional-grade, feature-complete” model for home cinema enthusiasts. By combining cutting-edge hardware co-developed with industry giants like Texas Instruments and Unisoc, the X50 Ultra Max promises a leap forward in brightness, black levels, and color accuracy.
Core Visual Specifications
The X50 Ultra Max is built around a powerful trio: a custom light source, a new generation DMD chip, and an independent image processor.
- Brightness: 7000 CVIA Lumens (tested by the National Institute of Metrology’s Sail Lab)
- Native Contrast: 10,000:1 (expandable to 100,000:1 with dynamic black level activation)
- Display Technology: 4K Ultra HD (4K UHD)
- Optical Engine: X-Vision Bionic Optical Engine
- DMD Chip: Custom SST Architecture 0.47” DMD (Model 473TE), co-developed with Texas Instruments
- Independent Imaging Chip: X-VISION chip, jointly developed with Unisoc (Tongchuang)
Key Optical Advancements:
The new SST DMD architecture allows for 3x the luminous flux and a 40% contrast improvement compared to standard 0.47” DMDs. It achieves a maximum light throughput of 7,000 lumens with a light power density of 60W/cm². The physical micro-mirror tilt of ±14.5° optimizes contrast while ensuring a stable 20,000-hour lifespan.
Picture Quality & Processing
DynaEye Aperture System: The projector features a new, self-developed dual-blade stepless aperture (F/2.0 to F/7.0). It achieves a 10,000:1 native contrast, and when combined with dynamic black level algorithms, it reaches a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast.
X-Vision Picture Engine: The dedicated chip powers a new suite of algorithms, including:
- Sharpness Enhancement: LDE precision detail optimization and LTI intelligent edge sharpening.
- AI-PQ Enhancement: Frame-by-frame optimization for global clarity.
- AI-SR Super Resolution: Upscaling lower-resolution content.
- Dynamic Black Level: 10x contrast improvement without color shift or flicker (human-eye observable zero color shift).
- Dynamic Brightness Mapping: A 500-zone local contrast engine that analyzes HDR content frame-by-frame to control laser output, preventing over-exposure while revealing shadow details.
Color Accuracy:
- 99% BT.2020 Stereo Color Gamut Coverage
- 114% BT.2020 Color Volume
- Delta E ≤ 0.9 (SGS Certified)
- Over 500 sets of white balance data built-in; each unit undergoes 2+ hours of individual calibration.
Hardware & Optical Design
Lens System (Stellar Transmissive Lens Group 2.0):
- Diameter: 70mm
- Elements: 15 precision high-transmission aspherical lenses (including 5 ultra-low dispersion ED lenses).
- Distortion: <0.19% TV distortion, almost zero stray light (<0.1% reflection per lens).
- Focus: Internal focusing mechanism (front lens does not move). <1s Hall sensor response time, <0.001mm precision.
Projection Capabilities:
- Throw Ratio: 0.98 – 2.0:1 (2x optical zoom, lossless 4K scaling)
- Image Size: 60” to 300”
- Optical Lens Shift: Bidirectional optical shift (allows for physical image movement without cropping)
- Screen Gain Adjust: User-adjustable from 0.5 to 2.0 to match specific projection screens.
