Between the Aladdin and Horizon Ultra, the Aladdin comes out ahead in several specs, while the Horizon Ultra wins on brightness and resolution. Overall, the Aladdin scores 50.3 and the Horizon Ultra scores 69.1 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Horizon Ultra is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 18.8 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
The Aladdin doesn't pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec table groups rather than the headline advantages.
Pick the Horizon Ultra if you care most about brightness and resolution. Its strongest claims are brightness, resolution, light source.
Both ship with comparable short-throw, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Horizon Ultra is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
