Everyday users appreciate the sharp 4K image, rapid auto-setup, powerful built-in speakers, and Android TV convenience, especially for casual home or travel use. Recurring complaints focus on lens dust buildup, Wi-Fi instability, occasional rainbow artifacts, and the need for darker rooms to achieve the best contrast.
Professional reviewers commend the HT2060 for its bright 2300 ANSI lumens output, high dynamic contrast, accurate color gamut and low input lag, positioning it as a solid upgrade over the HT2050A for dark-room home theater and gaming. However, they note its limited brightness for ambient light, absence of modern gaming features like VRR, and the inherent 1080p panel limitation for true 4K content.
Everyday users praise the projector's vivid colors, deep blacks, quiet operation, and easy installation, often calling it the best value for dark-room cinema. Recurring complaints focus on softness in 4K material, insufficient brightness in lit rooms, occasional rainbow artifacts, and the need for an external streaming solution due to lack of smart features.
Pick HT2060 for contrast, HDR, and gaming performance; pick Horizon if you need a very short-throw setup.
