We currently have this one https://www.bol.com/be/nl/p/xgimi-horizon-smart-projector-beamer-harman-kardon-2-x-8w-luidsprekers-chromecast-1500-iso-lumen-dolby-audio-bluetooth-dts-h/9300000044603293/?Referrer=ADVNLGOO002013-S--9300000044603293-PMAX-C-22290424073&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22294182655&gbraid=0AAAAAD5OnmPlILNzP11NiqlX2MtiWrlqW&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi9rJBhCYARIsALyPDts1akWALTyWymsIadPHF43_jL_Kkimu6EWjVmg1IzPJ8DNfdxi53CIaAuGMEALw_wcB But we have also had the Halo+ (is think) before that. We are verry happy, this thing runs Every day for hours on end (im partial insomniac, so spend most time watching shows and movies on Plex). This thing is great 

if you can even conisder the th575 then you should get it. if portability was ever a concern for you you would have been looking for portable projectors in the first place. the xgimi halo+ is a pprtable projector for people that use it then put it away ot you can use it to trace art onto a wall and stuff. for these sort of use cases these portable ones are great but the price to performance in terms of image quality is low. you should just get a non portbale unit. portable dlp projectors arent meant to last years. if you use it like a tv as your primary way to consume media and news in a room like up to around 8 hours a day, the chip starts failing and stars will show up or, the cooling system will get too filled with dust and you will need cleaning inside it for it to not shut down from overheating. trying to repair these small units usually end up in damaging them or making no difrence. the tolerances are low on and you never can really reach the factory quality and efficiency back for the cooling. a quick search will lead you to failures of dlp portable projecotrs such as these. but most people have no issue with that sinsce they already wanted to upgrade anyway and 2 years of constant use is "ok" for nowadays tech meanwhile most tech products of 15 years ago is still workign today wit no maintanance but thats a whole other story. also this lifespan issue isnt dedicated to any brand or model. just the limitation of trying to mak eit as small as possible. all brands making these use designs with close to no serviceability, and they dont consider dust accumulation and aging. it will only last the waranty period.

Hi all, I recently received the XGIMI Halo+ (new) from XGIMI, and am excited to review it for you today. All opinions in this review are my own. The XGIMI Halo+ (new) is a 1080p, DLP projector listed by XGIMI to produce 700 ISO lumens of brightness and have a battery life of 2.5 hours. This projector uses Google TV and comes with licensed Netflix, along with most other streaming apps. I can confirm that Netflix works right out of the box. Image quality and brightness - The XGIMI Halo+ (new) produces a bright and crisp 1080p image. The image is clear and detailed from 40-100" (I do not have space to test a larger image). Colours are saturated and there is sufficient contrast to see details in darker scenes. Furthermore, there is a fair bit of image customization that can be done, including colour balance, gamma, motion sensitivity, and more. This projector is also capable of accepting an HDR signal, which does seem to produce a bit more "pop" in the image. This is most notable when watching HDR content on Netflix. For an example of image quality, here is a comparison of the same scene from Crash Landing on You (streaming on Netflix), with a 60" image, corresponding to the labelled images: - medium ambient light, battery powered (image 3) - medium ambient light, plugged in (image 4) - low ambient light, battery powered (image 5) - low ambient light, plugged in (image 6) At this size of image, all are sufficiently watchable. However, in "medium" ambient light, there is a clear difference in colour and detail reproduction when switching from battery power to plugged in. In my opinion, there is not too much of a noticeable difference in detail and colour reproduction in low or no ambient light when using battery power or having the projector plugged in. For another comparison, here is the same scene from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (streaming on Prime video) at 100": Medium ambient light, battery powered (image 7) Medium ambient light, plugged in (image 8) Low ambient light, battery powered (image 9) Low ambient light, plugged in (image 10) At this size with ambient light, the image is fairly washed out on battery power, which is to be expected. Plugging in the projector does produce a noticeable jump in brightness and makes it suitable for casual viewing. However, in low ambient lighting, the difference between battery powered and plugged in is a bit more apparent at a larger screen size. While both images appear equally bright, you can see how the colours really pop at 100" plugged in with low ambient light, and the colour gamut seems wider and more vibrant. That being said, the difference between battery powered and plugged in at low ambient light is not immediately obvious unless comparing them side-by-side. Sound performance - This projector can get quite loud. I cannot imagine wanting to use this at over 50% volume. I have the dialogue enhancer set to high, which produces clear dialogue with great background. Bass can be loud at times, without losing detail in the rest of the sound. When testing this projector at 25% volume, I was still able to hear the bass from the projector when moving to another room. Features - The three features I was most excited for, and in my opinion are necessary for the projector to function as anything more than a projector that remains permanently in one spot, were brightness, flawless keystone correction, and battery life. As previously discussed, this projector produces a crisp, bright image from 40-100" as tested. However, this projector really comes alive when it is used as a portable projector. Streaming Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (on Prime video) at 25% volume, I managed to get 2h45m of playback time using the battery. This, in tandem with the brightness and auto keystone correction, allow for tremendous flexibility of use. XGIMI says on their website that the auto keystone correction should work consistently at up to 40° off angle, and I have found this to be accurate in my usage. As a result, when not using the projector as a "home cinema" projector, I find myself using the projector as a portable 40" image projector while doing things such as eating or cleaning. At 40" on battery power, the projector produces an image that is more than sufficiently bright to watch in areas with high ambient light. It is therefore quite easy to find a spot to put the projector, using the built-in kickstand as necessary, and watch YouTube, TV shows, or movies for a casual viewing experience. When finished your tasks, you can then transition to a low- or no-ambient light room and throw a 100" image that is more than bright enough on battery power. Overall user experience Overall, I have been very happy with the Halo + (new), especially the keystone correction and brightness when using battery power. One flaw that I have found with this projector is that the OS can be slow to respond to commands from the remote. Furthermore, at times the projector can lose focus for 5 seconds before correcting itself, although this only seems to happen when scrolling menus. With that being said, given how light the projector is (1.6 kg), the consistency of the keystone correction, and the brightness, I find myself regularly using this projector as a replacement for watching videos on my phone or tablet, while also using it to watch movies or TV shows at 90-100".

I own a jmgo n1s 4k for a week now. And i have to say iam very impressed! The beamer i had before was the Xgimi Halo + and i need to say there are worlds between them. But i have a problem and maybe you can help: I connect the jmgo with my pioneer vsx-329 so that i have the sound on my 5.1 system. But the sound lags. it stocks and i dont know what the problem is.. with my TV ARC is working fine.

It's tough to find a portable option in this price range that you can use during the daytime. In the afternoon and afterwards is more what you're likely to get for your budget, I think. I have both the XGIMI Halo+ and planning to get the new smaller one Mogo 4 - i beleive those two are among the best you can get in your price range.

XGMI Halo+ is small and I was impressed with its function. It sounds like it would fit your ideal apart for the price - which, as others have pointed out, is going to get you junk.

I bought the Mogo 3 Pro a few months ago and I'm really happy I got it. It projects images up to 200" and is very bright for a projector of that price. Before I had a Halo+ which was a little brighter but I didn't find any big differences

the question is very generic. it depends on what you mean by mini projector. I now use an XGimi MoGo 3 pro. but I also had Halo +. going up in budget there is the Horizon series which is still very compact

I have owned a Xgimi Halo+ and I can tell you that it is really a great projector for your needs, easy to carry and versatile thanks to the built-in battery. It also has a really powerful sound

For the same needs as you, I bought an xgimi mogo 3 pro (before I bought a Halo+). They are both portable projectors that you can use even without external devices because they have Google TV as an operating system with Netflix support (in the case of Halo+ there is the latest that supports it, it is called Halo+ New). Also take a look at the XGIMI Portable Screen. I am waiting for it to be available in Europe

já si pořídil XGIMI Halo+, nemůžu si stěžovat (vypálil mi oči a nemůžu psát) Je to tichý, dostatečná jasnost, baterka jako bonus.

Hello, I'm using a halo+ for that, but i recently got a xgimi mogo 3 pro which work fine in this situation, too. we might even have the same situation here, as this is my balcony with a roof. on the left i can additionaly darken the balcony even more if needede https://preview.redd.it/dsk3wd1zcloe1.png?width=1432&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc7515fa4402b929cbc1b4895eb4bd7f7a9b2bfe

I think XGIMI Halo+ would also fit your criteria, It is also on sale right now and costing around 500 euros. I have XGIMI MOGO 2 myself, but Halo+ would be even better

For retro gaming a solid 1080p option is the XGIMI Halo+, it’s bright enough, super easy to set up, and has pretty good built-in speakers
