NexiGo - PJ30 Ultra LCD Projector

I have this: https://a.co/d/9wDGpb4 and it's been great. I got the Netflix licensed one but I don't think it's worth it. The OS can only get Netflix and YouTube and some British apps natively, so I paired it with a Roku stick and now it's perfect. Idk if the non-Netflix licensed model can get more apps natively or not. It's pretty short throw tho and I have it over my bed aimed at my wall which is about 9ft/3m away from where it's mounted. I usually use it in a pretty dark room tho and its plenty bright enough. There was a video on YouTube I watched and this was one of them. Im pretty sure it was this video: https://youtu.be/vHmy8sobWEc?si=iVwdONeR0j2DXStl

I have a Nexigo projector and it's been amazing. I have the Netflix-licensed one, and unfortunately, it only has Netflix and YouTube on the native OS. I'm not sure if the Gen 3 has a different OS. The remote is definitely better on the Netflix one, though. I also have a Roku stick plugged in for other streaming apps. I haven't had any issues—other than having to use the projector remote for volume, since the projector isn't a supported device for the Roku remote. Everything else works fine with no problems though. Projector: https://a.co/d/1cjLYiq Roku stick https://a.co/d/ahtd7OF I think I have a 4k Roku stick but you only need HD for a 1080p projector. I also have a 90º HDMI adapter bc I have my projector against a wall. Alternatively, you would use an HDMI cable and a "male-to-female" adaptor

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.
