The Portable Projector to Beat in 2023: XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro Review

[@fivefingerheist]

I view the no battery portion as a plus. I have an Ecoflow electric generator for camping. I don't need an onboard battery for everything. This is going to have a standard spot at home & go with us on trips to have some fun entertainment.

[@TechMishka]

You are pretty well equipped ☺️

[@quantum2629]

Dude really played Beach Buggy racing 😂😂

[@TechMishka]

I did!

[@vigneshmanoharan1250]

@Tech4All.. Hello thanks for the nice review. BTW, did you try updating the android tv os to latest version ? How did that go ?

[@TechMishka]

No, I haven't applied the latest updates yet

[@DariuszTech]

I like it a lot ❤

[@TechMishka]

Me too! You have a lovely channel, Dariusz!

[@luigilamberti1178]

thank you for review, 400 lumen is enough to see film in a dark room ? the black are good too ? a projection sheet is necessary or a wall is enough ? tyvm

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, it is very suitable for dark rooms.

[@FBAagent]

What about day light room?

[@tkshaddy]

Thanks for sharing, I'm wondering if it supports Xbox 4K mode or just 1080p? Just about to buy a Nebula, and then your vid shows up which saves the day! 3D content supporting is what I really need since my LG 3D TV retired. lol

[@TechMishka]

It will display in 1080p.even if the input is 4K

[@Robby520]

Thanks for the review.

[@TechMishka]

My pleasure!

[@henrydavidthoreau4289]

Would it be possible to connect multiple bluetooth headphones at the same time? 🤔 Planning to get it on the balcony and with the neighbors might be a problem. 😂😅😢 Thanks!

[@BabyBee2016]

Look for dual connect headphones.

[@TechMishka]

Hmmm, I feel that it can support a few.of them, but not really sure whether audio can go out for two pairs simultaneously.

[@jaygee1103]

The colour banding on white writing would drive me crazy. Also the over saturation of colours.

[@TechMishka]

👍

[@SquashDonkey]

The 3d that it offers you hear people say it's passive 3d but is it not active shutter 3d ?

[@TechMishka]

Not quite sure 🤔

[@tjwilliams9571]

How does this compare to the regular mogo 2 ? Is it worth the extra 200?

[@TechMishka]

I think you can save $200.

[@picanha694]

720p vs 1080p

[@liinzl_90]

Do you think XGIMI MoGo 2 is better than Nebula capsule 3 Laser ? Which would you suggest to buy?

[@TechMishka]

I like both of them. Will probably use the Nebula more often because of the in-built battery.

[@dieterpete93]

Great review! I'm indecisive whether to buy this one or the Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2. Which one would you prefer, since you already tested and reviewed both of them? Thanks in advance!

[@TechMishka]

Both are good, but I think XGIMI have some really great projector implementations

[@serginho445]

I am somewhat in the same spot: whether to buy Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 because has 100 more ANSI lumens and Netflix built in and Xiaomi has very good quality or to buy the XGIMI + maybe a tv dongle. Which one did you choose in the end and why ?

[@jaycinthdelacruz1798]

I'm also curious which one have you guys bought? We're planning to buy a projector and same situation we're undecided which of the two to buy. 😅

[@jampiserapah]

Hi, what's with the bluish colour across the screen? Is it the white balance setting of your camera or the screen?

[@TechMishka]

Looks like I've pushed the color grading a bit too much.

[@Em.P14]

this thing, a steam deck, an usb modem stick and a powerbank and you got like the ultimate portable setup. although you are overstating its capabilidties quite a lot (yes, not for a projector but calling that gaming clip stutter free is a highly faar take )

[@TechMishka]

You have a point, appreciated. The XGIMi horizon already has a gaming mode btw.

Great review! But what is this strong purple color cast in all projections???

[@TechMishka]

It is down to the recording and white balance.

[@greenfroghorn]

No comment on video quality

[@johnmc3862]

1080p?

[@inboudayo]

I'm confused, you say it supports wireless speakers via bluetooth, but then go on to say a drawback is the lack of a dedicated bluetooth speaker mode... Can you clarify what this means exactly, please?

[@TechMishka]

Sure - the dedicated BT speaker mode is such one that utilizes the speaker of the projector only, while the lamp is completely off.

[@TauqeerAhmadtahmad]

@@TechMishkacannot use with using the device as BT Speaker. Got it.

[@disposable157]

Are you able to measure the fan noise?

I couldn't figure how big the image would project at what distance from the wall. Can you help.

[@TechMishka]

Sure - it can go up to 120 inches, and this is achieved by being 2-3 meters away from the wall.

[@jadranmore2539]

Hallo, kann der Beamer an der Decke projizieren wenn er an der Rückseite gelegt ist?

Yes, but you better leave some space underneath for proper cooling

[@lippyjumba]

They're website states 2 hr battery. You said 'we do not count on an inbuilt battery'. Is there no internal battery in this model? And if there is, does it decrease brightness when not plugged in? Thank you.

[@TechMishka]

There is no in-built battery for this model. As for the brightness - it can be adjusted, regardless of the power source

[@lippyjumba]

@@TechMishka thanks for following up. I was mixing up the mogo 2 Pro and the mogo pro+ 🤦. Great work. Thank you. 👍

[@tjwilliams9571]

How does this projector compare to the halo+ which is better in your opinion?

[@TechMishka]

The Halo+ has a battery, which I feel is a big bonus

[@WyomingMuleDeer]

The Halo+ battery can run 3 hours of video at 125 ANSI lumens (not very bright), and can't be charged via USB-C. The Mogo 2 Pro can be charged with a power bank and can run 3 hours at close to 400 ANSI lumens (plenty bright) with a 148wh power bank. Because the Mogo 2 Pro doesn't have an internal battery, it has space for larger slightly more powerful speakers and a passive radiator woofer. And the Halo+ battery will eventually lose capacity. If you think about it, not having an internal battery but being able to be powered by a USB power bank is a net advantage. And for most people it seems likely portable projectors will mostly be used indoors, where an internal battery is just dead space that could have otherwise been used for better sound. Internal batteries encourage design of lower-power projectors that have to operate at suboptimal brightness and lower speaker power to get three hours use on a charge.

[@BlindFury]

Does anyone know if it can run Plex? And if it can, are you able to download files onto it's built in storage for offline play?

[@TechMishka]

You can, but storage is quite.limited.

[@Justin_General]

Does this support 4:3 apect ratio?

[@TechMishka]

If the video is 4 x 3 it can play it.

Do you have keystone correction on in this video? Because mine is stuttering everytime I use keystone correction. Check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ7cY62EobqJb5Ysi=-SxuKLW_IX6UKIMG Left is Xgimi mogo 2 pro and it's stuttering so bad.

[@TechMishka]

Keystone was on all the time. Could be that there is a hardware issue with yours.

[@MMNVN]

@@TechMishka I run through 2 x Mogo 2 Pro! Both suffered the same issues. Did you try 60 FPS video? You'll notice motion judder/stutter, and then turn off Keystone and see how smooth it became.

who in the hell buys a video projector and want to use it as a Bluetooth speaker? this doesn't belong on the drawback list, more on the "not even nice to have" list

Don’t be so certain. It may not suit you, but it may for others. Additionally, lifestyles are constantly changing.

Maybe lifestyle is the problem nowadays, just buy a bluetooth speaker instead of buying a projector

I appreciate all of your reviews being thorough and concise... and time stamped! How does 400 lumens hold up in daylight?

[@TechMishka]

If the room is very bright - it looks very pale. Nothing less than 3000 will be acceptable. If you have curtains - then it is fine

[@unghole]

@@TechMishka Thanks!

[@unghole]

Following up for others interested in buying. I've had this for a month. Overall it's a great value for the price. No issues to report whatsoever. Whatever # lumens it actually is, in real life you can view the softer image during the daytime in the shadows of a room's wall. Brighter than that, you can't see an image. The remote is fine but could be laid out more tactile and with a backlight. The auto keystone works most of the time but occasionally gets it wrong. The resolution is perfect for outdoor fun viewings or personal watching from a distance. It's not bad at all, but not 4k, which I think isn't justified for the big jump in price. Unless you're a very discriminating viewer and use this for a premium home theater, 720p is fine for most "fun" projector use cases and "1080p" is better but not +$200 better. One thing I really like is that I've paired it to three different Bluetooth speakers in different rooms. The projector remembers the most recently paired speakers and auto connects. Additionally, when I connect to a different set of speakers, the projector wakes the speakers from being off to connect. Nice touch.

[@onsdags]
