XGIMI Elfin Flip Portable Projector, 1080P Resolution Outdoor Projector, Licensed Netflix, Build-in Adjustable Stand, Lightweight and Compact Design, 400 ISO Lumens, Screen AdaptionGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

For the price, this is a stellar little machine. I'm really impressed by how bright it is, and how clear the picture is even on a bare wall (no screen). It's easy to navigate right out of the box. Plugged it in, turned it on, away we go. Native Netflix is a great feature; I wish there were more apps directly on the OS. Maybe future updates will improve the number of apps. The projector is super light and easy to move around. I didn't feel it getting too hot while I used it (longest time so far 2.5 hours in one session). The fan is super quiet. The remote is responsive. Still messing with the settings to get it exactly right. The built-in speaker is clear and loud, and sounds better than bluetooth connected speakers. Overall, this is a great value projector and I'm really glad I bought it. Some caveats- I'm not using it to replace a tv or be my only screen, it's not a "home theater," and I'm not using it outside. It's the thing I'm using for parties, sports events, and casual movie nights with friends. I think it's perfect for that, but I don't think I would want this to be my only machine (gaming, zoom calls, binging shows, etc etc).

If your budget is around $300, I recommend this DLP projector over an LCD one. The colors and contrast are significantly better than the ~$270 LCD projector I tested before this. In a bedroom set up like a theater with blackout curtains, acoustic panels, a projection screen, and a dedicated soundbar with subwoofer, the experience is much nicer.There are trade-offs though. The user interface is simpler compared to the $270 LCD projector I tried, which came with built-in Google TV and allowed almost every major streaming service to be downloaded directly onto the device. The XGIMI OS on this model is more basic. For example, Peacock cannot be downloaded from the XGIMI store, so we use the built-in browser instead. It works fine, but it's a small inconvenience. On the flip side, this simpler OS makes navigation much faster, and I've noticed zero stuttering or buffering compared to Google TV.Most of the time I play movies from my MacBook along with an app called BetterDisplay. This app lets me increase brightness without washing out colors, enable HDR and switch to 12-bit color depth instead of the standard 10-bit, and turn on HiDPI mode for higher pixel density. The result is a noticeably clearer and sharper image. That is how I was able to get the projector to look like the image below on a 120-inch screen.For $300 this projector offers excellent clarity, strong brightness ( with BetterDisplay), and color performance that easily beats budget LCD models. The trade-offs in software are worth it for the picture quality.

The media could not be loaded. We loved this portable projector. The 1080p image quality is excellent, with sharp colors and enough brightness to use it in different environments. The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to take anywhere, and the built-in adjustable stand is very convenient for positioning the projector perfectly without any hassle. Also, the Netflix license is a great plus, allowing you to enjoy content directly without issues. Overall, a product that exceeded our expectations and that we highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality portable projector.

TLDR: Great projector but cheap remote controlEDIT: 5/6/2022 - 1 starI noticed the remote's up arrow is must be pressed hard to work. All of the other buttons I just have to click a little bit.First Review 5/6/2022 - 4 starsReceived 5/5/2022I was fortunate enough to see and used the following 1080P projectors and I have ranked them:1. Xgimi Horizon2. Nebula Cosmos 1080P3. Anker Nebula Solar Portable4. Xgimi Elfin MiniHorizon and Cosmos spits on the Solar and Elfin both in sound and brightness so most of my comparison will be between Horizon and CosmosPros- Auto keystone correction: Horizon's 4D and Cosmos's 2D. Being able to set Horizon anywhere auto adjust is a huge plus while Cosmos has to be place around in front of you which is limiting. I missed Elfin Mini's easy usage that bugs on Cosmos on top of lack of smartness made me purchase Horizon- Brightness: Horizon's 2200 vs Cosmos's 900. I did not know how important brightness especially for living room like mine that is not light controlled. Although Cosmos was usable during day time, I wouldnt prefer it. With Horizon, I actually enjoy using my projector now even at day time or windows open as it is still super clear- Shape: Horizon's cube vs Cosmos's oval shape. Cube is definitely a lot space friendlier compared to the oval shape. Although Horizon is a bit taller, Cosmos is wider- Bugs: Have not seen any from Horizon but with Cosmos, I keep getting randomly disconnected from Wifi every 30 mins (Im sure it's not Nebula's fault) because bugs happens but that was enough for me to switch to HorizonCons- Speakers: Horizon's 2x 8W built-in Harman Kardon vs Cosmos's Dolby Digital Plus& 2x10W. Horizon seems to be louder but Comos has a higher sound quality and deeper bass- I will miss Cosmos's bluetooth speaker mode as Horizon does not have it. For Horizon, Air Screen would be required to play musics from my phone to the projector but Cosmos turns off the lamp which increases your projector's longevity especially when you play lots of music- Power: Horizon's power brick is bigger which makes it less portable and eats more power from my power bank compared to Cosmos smaller power brick- Remote Control: Horizon's thick, longer, heavier, and the small rounded volume buttons are aligned horizontally, far away from each other, are also the flattest buttons ever. Like did you guys run out of plastics or something? It also curves up right underneath it making them even harder to click. It also makes this loud noise when placed down. Click feeling feels cheaper compared to Comos controller. Meanwhile Cosmos are way thinner, way lighter, smaller, and well put together.For my use case, I am sticking with Horizon because I love the brightness and the user friendliness of 4D auto correct keystone
