PicoFlix

If portability is your main priority you could check out the JMGO PicoFlix. It is a lightweight portable projector that still fits your budget and works well for indoor or low-light setups. It is definitely not meant for bright rooms but if you are using it at night or with lights dimmed it is a solid option for travel or small spaces. Just make sure your expectations on brightness match the use case. That is really the key with projectors this size.

Seconding JMGO. I have the [PicoFlix](https://global.jmgo.com/products/picoflix) and it's great for a portable projector.

Jmgo PicoFlix Bottle - using currently think the graphics are great, but it is only 450 lumens which isn’t super bright, but we still use it with the lights on

JMGO Picoflix+ (New version with higer lumen) or JMGO Picoplay (battery version). I’m going to order the Picoflix+ bundel tomorrow. This includes a tripod with a buildin battery for outdoor use and a nice travel case

I have a picoflix btw and another jmgo N1S 4K. Can vouch for it in terms of quality. XGIMI killing it too btw. Never heard of the philips before to be honest :D

That's not 1080p even :( Honestly wouldn't go for that. At least an LCD 1080p and a budget of just under 200 would be better imho. The only projectors I tried in that price range has been the wanbo pro cube 2 and the Xgimi vibe 1 and the pro cube 2 was much clearer. I found it at 180eu on amazon. And even then, if it were for myself, I'd prefer saving up for at least 300eu for a DLP projector like the xgimi elfin flip or jmgo pico. The extra brightness and mostly clarity on the edges and color would be much better. There are some ok projectors that may be found under 150 but then you are going with obscur brands that might be hard to find here in Europe/UK. Jayce on youtube has some of these models reviews, as well as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9KQ2fDDTOA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9KQ2fDDTOA) this guy. Then, double check for the availability in the UK or shippable to the UK. edit: on the currys site, there's the XIAOMI Smart L1 for 189pounds. I'd go for that under 200.[](https://www.currys.co.uk/products/xiaomi-smart-l1-full-hd-home-cinema-projector-10285015.html)

Dangbei atom is pretty neat as a 4K projector if you can find it for cheap. It was on my radar until I got the jmgo N1S 4K. Those are around 800usd though. You can get a really good experience with a 1080p projector. Some good DLP projectors are jmgo pico & xgimi elfin flip. They can be found around 300usd on sale and definitely will be a lot better than a freaking PHONE while you are in your bed :P

For travelling I'd go for the jmgo pico instead of the flip just because the sound is a lot fuller. They are pretty similar besides sound and the UI.

I think many only take account lumens without considering lighting and viewing distance that much. For the flip plus, it would be much better aiming for a 100" screen (under 3m distance) than a 120", especially with some ambient light.

I've never tested it in the living room to replace my N1S 4K. I'd have to reduce ambient light to the minimum (movie night type of scenario), like I used to do with my cheap 250lumens LCD back in the day.
