NexiGo - Nova Mini Smart Laser Projector

Imo portable is another tier aside from lifestyle. For lifestyle imo is the throw range, auto adjustment, built in smart os with speakers and h/v shift etc. It's for coffee table, shelf placement kind of projector. What you want is the likes of nexigo nova mini, which imo is not lifestyle but portable tier.

The Nexigo Nova Mini I currently have is single laser and I don’t have any problems with it other than picture clarity which I don’t think is to great. The comment about the Nexigo Trivision Ultra being ‘less cinematic’ than the Valerion Streammaster Pro was from a thread in this reddit where someone ordered both to see which one he wanted to keep and that was one of the takeaways from his comparison

If mobility is priority then nexigo (1080p) if picture quality then jmgo (pixel shift 4k)

If you are in a room with some ambient light, or even with white walls, Nexigo is better. If you are in a completely dark room, Hisense might be better.

If you don’t need extra brightness, Valerion is a better option than Nexigo. Just be aware you may have to choose the screen carefully for RGB laser projectors. But if your room has all-white ceilings, the black level may not differ too much. The extra brightness, almost doubled, could give you a better HDR/DV experience. XGIMI is great if you need more flexible position with its optical zoom and lens shift.

Not sure if it helps or makes your comparison harder, but the Nexigo does drop to around $1399-1499 on sale. Maybe even the Valerion Plus or Plus 2 should merit consideration at that price point.
