One correction to your stats/specs listing at the 1min15 secs stage.... the horizon pro does support 3D. It was a firmware update that got this working. I havent updated mine.... because of the knock on effects of the update that many users have complained about (FAN NOISE increase to name but one).

Even leaving aside the price (there's no way I could afford either, but obviously the Horizon is considerably cheaper), the sheer size/flexibility aspect would win it for the Horizon for me. I don't have a dedicated space that would do the Aura justice, but the Horizon's flexibility would allow for different use cases which make it more valuable for my liking - especially given that the pic quality and brightness aren't THAT much different - certainly not £1000 worth of difference. That said, my wee Mogo Pro will have to do me for now until one of these beauties comes down enough to be affordable to a shlub like me! :D

Really nice upgrade in projector tech since I last looked, in saying that the important part is they are now Finally affordable. Last time I looked Some years back such a projector would have cost at least around £8,000+ LOL My old but good Sony VPL-HW55ES 1080p pulls about 300watts too ! Gets hot in my basement in summer with extended binge watching sessions! Does having such a beefy speaker system in the Aura cause image vibration with heavier bass sections at higher volume? Though honestly I would mostly be running through my surround system at home, but sometimes I like to set up out in the garden and might be handy.

Thanks for the great video. I was excited and ready to buy one of the Aura projectors to replace my aging (but still producing a fantastic 1080p picture) Sony VPL-VW40 and then i discovered it is not sold anyplace here in the US. I am very very reluctant to buy something $2000+ that is shipped from China. Having experienced the atrocious (or non existent) support for 3D printer from China I don't think I want to go down that road with something like this ......I'm bummed. Any suggestions on something sold in the US that supports 3D? That is one of my main requirements for my projector upgrade.
