\*re-upload since my text didn't upload. Mogo 2 Pro is solid! Just mounted it today on ceiling. Here's my review of my week impressions so far. I want to disclose this isn't paid this is honest and unfiltered. Pros - Great remote can actually control my sound system and my PS5 I dont know how it works but it's cool. - The price is got it for was 250 from sams club about a 50 dollar discount from amazon however its 10 dollar shipping and I paid 10 in tax. Still under 300 dollars! - Picture performance is solid Great color accuracy, latency is very low on game mode. - No reports of full failure. Many projectors on amazon that are below 500 have many reports of failures I did deep research on forums seems like this unit last long - The hookup a youtuber that tests projector actually rated this unit high in audio quality and I can definitely respect the audio performance. Cons - Lack of a stand and control to tilt the unit this makes it hard to put it on a table and just project you have to get a piece of card or something to angle it. - Not bright enough for outdoor or room viewing with a lot of lights. It was alright but this projector is best at night and movie rooms. - Many reports of keystone problems cause heavy dips in performance didn't effect me but it was a known issue. - No filter most projectors have this what happens if it gets clogged of dust? - No 2nd HDMI input or HDMI ARC port down the line if my sound system stops or need to upgrade it ill have to likely get an HDMI splitter or a sound bar that passes through video output. - My anker 120 watt power brick didnt work on thr projector. - Lack of lamp replacement now this is an LED and on specs sheet the 25,000 hours estimate thing means like 10 years for about 6 hours a day use that's a lot but is highly dependent on ventilation and other factors. But when the unit dies outside the 1 year warranty from ximi your on your own to replace no lamp replacement like an Epson or BenQ. Why did I not choose the newer models like the Mogo 3 or 4 Pro? It comes down to lack of resolution upgrade to 4k. There all still using 1080p and justifying the 200-300 price about double cost of my unit to get newer model for gimicy features I don't need like the battery in it, Netflix support, faster os or slightly brighter isn't enough for me. This fits my budget and the brightness is enough for my room and is good overall with nice android TV. Overall score is 7/10 if this unit lasts for 4 years then it's a 8/10. If you get this unit I recommend getting a stand and turning off keystone, digital zoom when you can so you get the full performance of the picture. Cause keystone is just digital its not a physical lens shift so you lose sharpness of image. The features are for convenience but will not be best results for performance. What I had before was a 20 year old Sony VPL-VW11HT it served me well it was stuck at 720p making text hard to read and I wanted a projector that would be great for my PS5 for GTA 6 when it comes out. That 1080p and 60fps is a standard I usually play games at but at 110 Inch screen couple feet away its not the best I still see some blur in text its very small but its just not as sharp if that makes sense. Farther away is better at lower resolutions. There's a measurement for that with size of screen, resolution that's best and I found that sweet spot. \*add - I also wanted to add to my post is that no Netflix support and probally no point in trying and it you looking for that it may be worth it to get thr mogo 3 or 4 pro as it has that support. I dont care for it as I have a PS5 and I donr rely on the android 11 os tv to do my entertainment I just wanted something basic with YouTube it has it so that'd fine. But a big con not for me but for others is lack of Amazon
