If you are a Netflix consumer, Elfin Flip Plus, if you are not a Netflix consumer (I only use Stremio) The old Elfin has 4k support, higher brightness, memc support and moves extremely well! Plus the 0.33 chip, larger than the Flip ones! I was undecided between the three too, I chose the old one with android tv! Plus, with an adapter like this https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0F1YG7VK1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1¤cy=EUR and a 65w battery with power delivery you make it truly portable. You can replace the power brick with a smaller and easier to transport and install 65-100w power supply.
there's the elfin, the elfin flip, and elfin flip plus. The elfin flip and flip plus have the included stand. The elfin and elfin flip plus are the same brightness, 500 lumens. The elfin flip has 400 lumens. The contrast is similar. They will appear similar. If you plan on using the built in streaming options, the flip plus might be better because of the updated processor and operating system. I think it also auto focuses faster than the original elfin. None of them are very bright for home theater projectors but they should be ok for casual use. Contrast won't matter too much at this brightness. You may consider a screen to help boost perceived brightness and contrast. I can't tell you if it's worth 80 euros, but the stand will save a few euros and it really is very convenient on the tabletop. I don't know your local marketplace, but you can also try looking at older, used projectors to get some higher performance at a similar price.

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. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/XGIMI-Elfin\_Flip\_Plus-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc](https://www.projectorcentral.com/XGIMI-Elfin_Flip_Plus-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc) edit: i have the flip in my computer room at about 2.5m away from the wall and it's been great so far. 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.
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
I use a Xgimi Flip that I got refurbed on eBay. Love it. And it's for exactly your use case.

Xgimi elfin flip was my choice. It's been fantastic so far, I think I found it for around €220 on sale at an Austrian electronics store (online order). DLP tech, Low latency mode and quite bright for the price. I couldn't be happier, it's my first halfway-decent projector. The sound quality is great for it's size, auto focus/keystone and huge range of screen size. Currently set up at 60" it's got great colour quality and pixel density (for my personal standards, keep in mind I'm coming from the older LCD, low lumen €60-150 bargain quality ones so for me it's quite an upgrade).
