![]() While a lot depends on the ambient brightness in the room, the blacks are suitably deep as well. The specs promise 1 billion colors, and while I didn’t count them, I can definitely say the colors and picture are crisp and bright, and the contrast is great. The picture on the Horizon Pro is, as you would expect for the price, fantastic. I ended up hooking up my Apple TV 4K to the projector and getting around it that way. You can get around it by casting content from a computer that will run Netflix to the projector, but that’s a pretty poor substitute for native support. This is a big stumbling block, and it should figure into whether you purchase the Horizon Pro or not. 1 streaming service - is not supported on this projector. This is a key function because Netflix - the No. It works as well as Google Assistant does on your phone, which means your mileage will vary.Ĭhromecast is also built into the Horizon Pro so you can wirelessly cast your content from your computer or tablet, which is handy if you want to use it to mirror your computer screen or show off some photos from your phone. ![]() When it comes to search, the remote offers one-button access to Google Assistant, so you can look for content or open apps. It’s truly impressive that all those annoying adjustments we used to have to do in order to make sure an image projected square and true to the wall can now be made with the touch of a button. When I set up a portable screen, the auto-keystone function zoomed the image to fit the available screen area exactly. On my basement wall, it was smart enough to avoid a stray Ethernet cable that had started to sag a bit and other items that might block some of the image. One of my favorite features is the auto-keystone function known as “Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance,” which automatically discerns the edges of your viewing area and sets the screen size and focus to make sure nothing interferes with the projected image. Here you can add various streaming apps, such as Netflix, Apple TV, HBO Max and Disney+. (Interestingly, the Horizon Pro has an Ethernet port, so you can avoid the whole wireless setup business entirely if you don’t mind running cable around the living room.)Īfter that, the projector will probably update its Android TV, which takes a few minutes, and then you’re presented with the standard Android TV home screen. ![]() But it’s a minor inconvenience that you only have to do once. It’s still relatively intuitive to use an on-screen keyboard with the Bluetooth remote control, but you will need to manually input the Wi-Fi network and password as well as set up your Google account, which is a pain. If you have an iPhone, however, setup is more manual and fiddly. The projector runs on Android TV 10.0, which means if you have an Android phone, setup is as simple as saying, “OK Google, set up new device.” Your phone will find the Horizon Pro, get it onto your Wi-Fi network and sign you in on Google services like YouTube.
