Among an array of gadgets unveiled at CES 2026, XGIMI’s TITAN Noir Series 4K projectors weren’t quite the talk of the town. Understandably overshadowed by larger displays, flying robots, and advanced home robotics, the projectors flew largely under the radar during the event. Three months on, however, they’ve become a major talking point.
Since its initial debut, the TITAN Noir Series has been featured across all major media outlets. This surge in popularity is largely driven by a successful Kickstarter campaign that has generated significant traction among projector enthusiasts. With a modest funding goal of $100,000, the campaign has shattered expectations, surpassing $10 million in pledges from more than 3,000 backers within days.
The biggest USP of the TITAN Noir Series lies in its Dual Intelligent Iris System, which, as the brand states, “delivers exceptional light control, brilliant highlights, and lifelike shadow detail that preserves every frame’s creative intent.” Of the two physical iris modules, one controls the imaging path for precise shadow detail, while the other manages the illumination path for overall light flux. This optical approach delivers native contrast ratios of 7,000:1 on the base TITAN Noir, 8,000:1 on the Pro, and a flagship 10,000:1 on the TITAN Noir Max.
The result is deeper, noise-free blacks, richer shadow gradation, and smoother transitions between light and dark scenes, all critical for cinematic viewing of films like thrillers or sci-fi epics, where detail in darkness matters. Powering the visuals is an advanced RGB triple-laser light engine delivering up to 7,000 ISO lumens, with models ranging from around 4,800 to 7,000 ISO lumens depending on configuration. This ensures vibrant, consistent brightness even in rooms with some ambient light, while maintaining color accuracy.
All three variants, Noir, Pro, and Max, support native 4K UHD resolution on screens up to 300 inches and embrace premium HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, and Filmmaker Mode for faithful, director-intended playback.
It’s a boon for gamers too, who would appreciate the responsive performance of 240Hz refresh at 1080p, 1ms input lag, VRR/AMD FreeSync compatibility, and low-latency support across consoles like the PS5, Xbox, and Switch. Anti-Rainbow-Effect (Anti-RBE) technology further enhances comfort in both 2D and 3D modes, reducing eye strain during extended viewing sessions.

On the design front, the TITAN Noir Series sports a sculptural 360-degree form factor that accommodates tabletop, floor-standing, or ceiling-mounted installation with minimal hassle. Audio is handled via integrated Harman Kardon speakers with DTS Virtual:X, though bundles pair seamlessly with the optional XGIMI Ascend 100-inch motorized floor-rising screen and 170W Dolby Atmos sound system. When it comes to connectivity, the TITAN Noir Max features an optical LAN, along with multiple USB and HDMI ports, including eARC.
The TITAN Noir Max is available for preorder at $3,000, which is 50 percent off its official retail price. The TITAN Noir Pro is priced at $2,600, while the base TITAN Noir starts at $2,500. Projectors are slated to ship in June 2026, with companion accessories following in September.
