Rank #2 in Best 4K Laser Projector 2026: 8 Ranked, Spec Tables Fact-Checked
NexiGo Aurora Pro Ultra Short Throw 4K Laser Projector
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The NexiGo Aurora Pro is an ultra short throw 4K laser projector listed at £1,499.00, with 2400 lumens and a 4.2-star average from 430 ratings. It takes the number 2 spot in this guide. It is a tri-colour laser unit that the listing says sits on a tabletop as close as 0.33 feet from the wall and fills anything from 75 to 150 inches, with 60W of built-in speakers, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Active 3D and 4K at 120Hz input.
On a list where the specification table is the least reliable part of the advert, the Aurora Pro is the exception worth pointing at. The bullet headed "The Black Level" states a native contrast ratio of 3000:1, and the Contrast Ratio field in the spec table also reads 3000:1. Nowhere does this listing print a boosted figure as though it were the panel's own: the dynamic laser dimming text says only that it "pushes the black even further". The smaller wobbles sit elsewhere, and they are worth knowing before you buy. The Dolby Vision bullet calls the native contrast ">3000:1" rather than 3000:1, and the Wattage field reads 15 watts while the sound bullet describes 60W of speakers built from two 15W woofers and two 15W tweeters — one driver's figure sitting in a field that reads like the whole unit's. The rating breakdown shown on the advert lists 67 five-star ratings against 8 one-star ones. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought this projector after going through numerous reviews and articles on the best ultrashort throw 4k projector out there in 2023 and 2024. The best ones have the advantage of day time viewing because of increased ANSI lumens but pale in comparison to Nexigo pro for night viewing and it's display of black details. Moreover Nexigo pro is still decent in day viewing. I am currently using it without the ALR screen and the projection is still decent. I can't imagine what it would look like with the ALR screen combo. I am happy with the projector so far. It has a fancy turn on light show function like you're starting a posh car.”
Verified purchase“I didn't think a projector this tiny could replace my bedroom TV, but here we are. I was worried the 1080p wouldn't look sharp at 100+ inches, but it's crisp and the brightness is impressive for its class. We've used it for movie nights and even a bit of gaming, and the lag is barely noticeable. It's quiet, easy to move from room to room, and the sound from the built-in speakers is surprisingly decent. If you're looking for a portable laser setup, this is definitely the one to beat.”

Questions people ask
Does the NexiGo Aurora Pro give the same contrast figure in its bullet and its spec table?
Yes. The bullet headed 'The Black Level' states a native contrast ratio of 3000:1, and the Contrast Ratio field in the spec table reads 3000:1.
What contrast does the NexiGo Aurora Pro reach once dynamic laser dimming is on?
The listing gives no number. It says only that dynamic laser dimming 'pushes the black even further', enhancing black levels with minimal impact on colour accuracy.
Is the NexiGo Aurora Pro's contrast 3000:1 or more than 3000:1?
Both appear. The Black Level bullet and the spec table say 3000:1; the Dolby Vision bullet says '>3000:1'.
How bright is the NexiGo Aurora Pro and what resolution does it run at?
2400 lumens, matching the 2400 in the product name, with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 listed in both the Native Resolution and Maximum Display Resolution fields.
Why does the spec table show 15 watts for the NexiGo Aurora Pro?
The Wattage field reads 15 watts, but the sound bullet describes 60W of built-in speakers - two 15W woofers and two 15W tweeters - so 15 watts is one driver's figure rather than the whole unit's.
What screen sizes can the NexiGo Aurora Pro produce?
The spec table gives a minimum image size of 75 inches and a maximum of 150 inches, from a minimum throw distance of 0.33 feet.
