Xgimi Horizon Pro projector review: No Netflix, but there’s plenty of chill
A fantastic cinema projector with just one major demerit
The last decade has been significant for movie buffs and content lovers, marked by the prevalence of on-demand entertainment, affordable access to high-resolution video, and hardware capable of viewing it. Naturally, the devices we use to watch video have changed, too, and we've switched from TVs to full-blown home theaters.
Your Android smartphone or tablet is probably your everyday mobile device, but sometimes you want to share the onscreen experience. While you could share a bunch of page links with your pals, there’s nothing like the reveal of a bite-sized projector to earn you showmanship points. Plus, Android-compatible projectors are just about everywhere these days.

An affordable projector that nails it...mostly

Formovie Theater Projector review: Putting the 'pro' in projector
If your wallet agrees, it's well worth a look
Even though the best projectors can be a bit on the pricier side, when you compare them to the cost of a massive high-end TV, they start looking like a steal. But for some reason, they've remained more of a tech-enthusiasts' toy than an everyday living room hero. Many folks still think that projectors can't match up to the reliable experience of TVs.
Xgimi's latest Android TV projector is its brightest and most advanced yet
Dolby Vision support upgrades the Horizon Ultra's 4K output to new HDR heights
There's arguably no quicker or easier way to give your home an entertainment overhaul than adding an Android TV projector. Just plug it in, point it at a big, blank wall, and you've got a jumbo-sized screen packed with all your favorite streaming services. Models from Xgimi have ranged from battery powered portable projectors like the Halo+ to the massive and stunning ultra-short-throw Aura 4K. This week the company introduces a new long-throw option, the Horizon Ultra, pairing extra-bright output with HDR Dolby Vision support.

Xgimi's latest MoGo portable Android TV projectors introduce some slick new image alignment tricks
The MoGo 2 Pro does automatic keystone correction without stopping playback
The versatility of portable projectors can be a bit of a double-edged sword. While it's great fun being able to move them around wherever you like and turn any blank wall into a giant video screen, that can also mean a lot of time spent tweaking the picture each time you relocate. This past January at CES, Xgimi showed off its latest projector lineup, including models introducing its new Smart ISA (Intelligent Screen Adaptation) 2.0 system for greatly streamlining that setup process. Now it's nearly time for the first projector with this tech to arrive, as Xgimi shares details on the release of the MoGo 2 and MoGo 2 Pro.

‘Cinematic experience’ is an overused term in the world of projectors. Most companies make tall claims to deliver such an experience with their projectors and fall short on resolution, brightness, and overall picture quality.

The projector/lamp/speaker is making its way to the US and Europe soon

Xgimi Halo+ review: A portable projector's got no business looking this good
With fast auto-keystoning and an internal battery, this projector's ready to get going in seconds
I still remember the first digital projector I ever ran into: a monochrome LCD panel that you had to place on an existing overhead projector like a fancy transparency. It... did not work well. And honestly, for a long time, using digital projectors felt like accepting a series of trade-offs: too heavy, too dim, too hot, too expensive to maintain — I could go on. Thankfully, technology has finally started to catch up with this idea, and modern projectors are actually getting really, really good.

The big white wall in my apartment just got an Android TV upgrade
Xgimi's new Elfin projector is an excellent solution for new or shared apartments
Forcibly uprooting your entire life isn't easy, just ask me about it. One day you have all the small luxuries of life that you've worked hard to get, the next you're in a strange apartment you don't own, that you have to momentarily share with others, and you're wondering how come you're starting from zero in your mid-thirties. There's also only one TV to share with people whose entertainment taste differs so much from yours. Then you look at the lifeless white walls surrounding you and you think, "huh, I have an idea." So you go get that Android TV projector, turn it on, point it at a white wall away from your roommates, and you've suddenly got a solution to both of your problems: no more white wall and a TV you can call your own.That's my current situation and the projector in question is the latest addition to the XGIMI line-up: the 1080p and 800 ANSI Lumens Elfin. It doesn't have a battery like the Mogo and Mogo Pro that I reviewed earlier, but it's significantly brighter.

Technically, Android TV is via a dongle that fits inside them
BenQ has just revealed two new portable projectors with built-in 2.1 channel audio and Android TV — and we mean Android TV, not Google TV. The way that last bit works is kind of curious. But before we push our full reviews, let's dive into some of the details for both of these new battery-powered models.
