XGIMI Horizon S Max (2024)

XGIMI's Horizon S Max keeps ports to a minimum and leans on its built-in gimbal and Google TV instead: a single HDMI input (marketed as HDMI 2.1 for eARC, but running 18Gbps HDMI 2.0b-class bandwidth at 4K60) plus two USB-A 2.0 ports for media playback. There's no Ethernet, no 3.5mm jack and no optical output — external audio goes out over HDMI eARC only. Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG and IMAX Enhanced are supported, with 2x 12W Harman Kardon speakers on board.
