XGIMI - MoGo 2 Pro

Do you think MoGo 2 Pro gives better value at 349$ as compared to the newer MoGo 3 Pro at 449$? 🤔 Is there a significant difference between the picture and sound quality that is worth extra 100$ for the newer variant? 🤔 I could not find any reviews comparing the newer model and its predecessor. 💭

\*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

I’m pleasantly surprised with the Magcubic L018. For its price it has a lot to offer: Autofocus, reasonable brightness, proper focus across the entire frame without vignetting, no skipped frames, reasonable keystone. It’s not bad at all! I’ve also owned an Xgimi Mogo Pro 2 and the Magcubic’s image quality is not even that far behind. Also owned a proper Epson and that’s a different story of course.

I bought the HY320 as well. Mind you, my opinion is biased as I also have a proper Epson TW5600 projector, and an Xgimi Mogo Pro 2. The positives: - Honestly, for the money it is not bad. - I was surprised how well the automatic keystone worked when you tilt it - good throw, get a decent size in a small room - Image quality is ok, most of the times. It’s good for the money. - actually gives a decent result when you blow up the screen size to a ridiculous 150-200 inch. In a dark room it’s still bright enough. - Bluetooth audio is actually in synch The bad: - my major peeve: you can’t get the damn thing in focus. It is either the centre or the edges - it seemed impossible to focus the whole screen. - frame rate not always stable - picture/herz often out of sync, with horizontal lines - picture quality is just too unpredictable, some content looks above expectations, some look muddy and messy. - for ideal picture quality, projector needs to be exactly in front. Keystone and digital zoom helps, but at the cost of picture quality. - internal speaker is useless and out of synch. For the money, it’s great for the kids or for campsites. But doesn’t hold a candle to a proper projector.

If you’re just getting into it and want something portable + not crazy expensive, I’d say check out the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro or Nebula Capsule 3. Both are solid for first-time use, decent image, and easy to carry around. The MoGo 2 Pro probably gives you better brightness and image quality overall, but the Nebula Capsule is more compact if you’re thinking about camping/travel. Just don’t expect crazy brightness unless you’re in a dark room. If you end up liking it, you can always upgrade later. These are both good “safe” options to start with without blowing a bag.

I would love some advice, ive been down the "budget projector rabbit hole" for days now and i just cant make up my mind... I want to buy a projector for my girlfriend, it will be used 99% of the time to watch trash TV in bed before she goes to sleep, maybe a movie here or there. \- The room will be very dark at all times when used, it will probably "never" be moved, and never used outside. Our bedroom has 2 windows in front of our bed so i cant hang a TV there. \- I would need to be able to download apps, and have them work, for example netflix, hbo, but also streaming services/apps that are released in my country. (they exist in google play store/apple store). However i realize i could get a stick of some sorts and just use that. So i guess a "dumb" projector isnt a deal breaker. Would be nice to have a smarter one tho. \- I think fan noise is important here, if she is watching TV and keeps hearing a loud buzzing sound its basically not worth buying one at all. My initial thought was for the projector to be located at her nightstand, but I'm not sure if even a 35-37 decibel projector would get too loud (?) \- Sound quality isnt really that important. We dont use any external speakers for any of our TV's, never have been much interested in audio quality in general. The volume would in general be set on "low-medium" as she will probably use this before going to sleep etc. We are not going to be blasting movies on high volume via this projector. Price range is 200-300$ tops, that includes with tax and shipping. Sidenote: I could mount the projector above our bed or even in ceiling, however i would prefer not to. Her nightstand does have a small "compartment" that could fit a projector, it would be nice if i could store it inside that compartment and just tilt it slightly upwards towards our window/blinds/curtain where i would want the picture to be at. Currently ive been looking into XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro, because of the low fan noise and looking at Jayce video review it looks easy to use, can download apps and picture seems good. However i cant find one even close to 300$ in my country. Its more like 450-500$.. Also i don't need it to be portable at all.. I was close to buying what im guessing is a shit one called Alvar f505, basically because of the review from "The hook up" youtube channel review, however im guessing its an "off brand" and probably crap. Also the fan noice looks to be really loud. Any advice would be great!!

Op, a refurbished model has the same manufactures warranty as a brand new one. The difference is the savings. Definitely a best of both type of situation. The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro would be the better option especially for the lumen output boost.

What country are you located in op? Mogo 2 Pro would be a solid option for your particular use case. Also look into the Eflin Flip too.

I just picked up the xgimi mogo 2 pro it was 329 it pretty good little unit

I had a very similar situation with my wife where she really cared about the aesthetics and didn’t want a tv. I got a mogo 2 pro because she liked the look of it. It was perfect except that the video had a stutter issue. I ended up returning that one and getting the [Wemax Vogue Pro](https://a.co/d/3lAdp7Q). I’m very happy with the picture and smoothness of this one, but the ui isn’t very good. Luckily it’s running Android so I was able to download a custom launcher and customize it the way that I want it to look and I’m am very happy with it now. If you apply the coupon on Amazon, you can get it for less than $500. I’m throwing from about 11 feet away and I have to use the manual keystone to have it fit my 63” screen and that is even cutting it close. Scaling it down wasn’t enough to get it that small.

Totally feel you budget rabbit holes are brutal 😅 But the MoGo 2 Pro is a solid pick, especially for quiet, late-night streaming. As for the screen: projecting onto a blackout curtain can work, but you’ll lose some brightness and clarity. If you want a quick fix, try Velcro-taping a white blackout fabric or a cheap white projector screen onto your curtain it’ll roll with it and boost image quality without changing the setup too much.

I'm scared after reading this, but my experience with Xgimi is they last a long time. My Xgimi mogo is my everyday tv. Yup, I use my projector as a TV. It broke about 4 months ago. I do tech repairs, I'll come back to that in a second. I liked it so much that about a yr and ½ I got another 1 for $80 on ebay that wasn't working. I fixed it and kept it as a back up. So 3 -4 years as a daily driver is pretty sweet if you ask me. Especially for a machine that isnt intended for everyday use.Now back to mine breaking and the "I do tech repairs." I came home to my projector on. No ghost, it turned it self on. Then I couldn't turn it off, or control it in any way and wifi said not connected. I connected a USB controller, I could then control it. Still couldn't connect to wifi, but I could still 100% use it with my Nvidia Shield or my Xbox. I had the bright idea to factory reset it. BIG MISTAKE. I couldn't figure out why the wifi wasn't working and the actual Xgimi remote wouldn't work even though it worked for the $80 backup I had. So here is the unfortunate eye opening experience I learned. After the factory reset, what's the first thing that happens when you turn on your Xgimi projector...? You have to sync the remote with the projector. It doesn't matter if you plug in a USB controller like I did when my controller didn't work. That will not work until you sync the controller. A USB controller will not work. Nothing will work until you sync the controller. Now back to the tech guy thing. So with Xbox and Playstation, the Bluetooth is usually also part of the wifi. You still with me? So the wifi chip is the Bluetooth chip. Which is the reason my controller won't work and the same reason my wifi wont work. Wait for it...... If I can't sync my controller via Bluetooth, I can't use my projector because the first thing you need to do, is sync your controller. So now my awesome projector that's worked for years just turns on and asks me to sync. No getting past that. Thank God I had the backup. For those that are going to ask, well, tech guy, why didn't you fix it. 4 reason, 1: I got the backup for $80 bucks, so who cares. 2: There are no schematics on it. 3: It's an absolute nightmare taking apart because of its super small form factor and 4:since I can't find schematics on it, Im pretty sure i wont be able to find a replacement wifi/bluetooth chip.Now back to the im scared thing. If this thing only last a year, I'll go postal. Speaking of postal.It's being delivered today. Stupid post guy said he tried to deliver yesterday and said I wasn't here. Meantime, I was sitting in my living room all day, finally enjoying a day off. So now I'm going to wait again and hope this time I hear him. I'll give an update later. Hopefully, it'll last for years like my old 1 did. If it dies after 1 yr I'll be pissed. I mean, 2 thousand dollars pissed. Only time will tell. Sorry that was so long. Just wanted to share my personal experience.

Not super cheap (about 500€ 4 years ago) but I've been very happy with Xgimi MoGo Pro. I meant to get something just for tracing my sketches, but decided to pay a bit more for better image quality and brightness, so I can use it for watching shows and movies as well.
