Xgimi MoGo Pro vs Xiaomi Mi smart compact projector

Xiaomi Mi •FR amzn.to/337XFJT •ES amzn.to/2VYZKIl •US amzn.to/3kzfjAF
🠗 🠗 🠗 Main conclusions and findings in this description 🠗 🠗 🠗
- Both versatile Full HD mini projectors with excellent dual band wifi connectivity running on Android TV 9 with LED light source.
- Both devices come equipped with internal Chromecast for easy casting from both Android and iPhone's.
- Both devices come equipped with auto vertical keystone and auto focus making set up pretty easy.
Differences:
- Xiaomi Mi is much brighter, sharper, less noisy, has a better speaker and got official Netflix support.
- Only MoGo Pro has horizontal keystoning (40°), 3D support and a battery.
- MoGo Pro doesn't have official Netflix support. But it can be installed via XTV manager which pretty much works just as well, except that you must use the projector remote. Only on the Xiaomi Mi you can cast Netflix from the Netflix app on your phone.
- MoGo Pro has a faster processor resulting in faster loading times.
- Xiaomi Mi needs a little refocus after 15-45min when it has a 'cold start'.
- Xiaomi Mi has occasional audio hiccups if sound is sent through HDMI input to projector speaker.
- Bluetooth headset works best with MoGo Pro. Xiaomi Mi has some delay.
- MoGo Pro must be logged in to Google, Xiaomi Mi works without logging in.
- Xiaomi Mi needs a little refocus after 15-45min when it has a 'cold start' in colder climates. After which it will stay in focus.
This can be circumvented in four ways:
1) Start the projector beforehand to warm up a bit and trigger autofocus before watching.
2) While watching series, accept some blurriness at the end of the first episode and trigger autofocus before going to the next.
3) Trigger autofocus immediately after startup and add between +3 and +5 correction steps to the right. This way clarity will gradually go from good to excellent.
4) Turn off autofocus altogether and don't move the projector.
Notes:
- Tripod and case accessories are not included.
- Both projectors suffer from a little bit of judder in 24Hz and 25Hz modes.
- Video is filmed in 30fps. 'Spring'-video clips are 24fps. High framerate recordings of the judder clips can be found in the link below.
- Default settings are used unless otherwise noted.
- In reality the viewability of the bright daylight recordings was a bit better in real life. But we've chosen camera settings optimized to show the difference between these projectors in the clearest way.
**Software update september 12 2020**
After updating the Xiaomi Mi to the latest firmware version various issue's previously mentioned have been addressed.
-Bluetooth lag has significantly improved towards usable levels.
-Sound hiccups from audio over HDMI input largely solved.
-Improved fluid playback/judder.
Which projector should I buy?
For best picture quality, brightness and sound (if internally streamed), go for the Xiaomi Mi smart compact projector. If you are looking for: 100% wireless projection (battery), horizontal keystone for sideway projection, 3D, decent Bluetooth headset support or if you are sensitive to judder, then take a look at the Xgimi MoGo Pro.

[@ev618jack]

Obviously the contrast is not rigorous, xgimi does not have a fork power supply, it will lose a lot of brightness

The picture quality Xiaomi is better than Mogo pro but Mogo pro is easy to carry everywhere you want because there is battery built in and can adjust keystone +-40 degree vertical and horizontal. Xiaomi can only adjust vertical. Finally depend on your decision to choose it. Thanks for your review.

Dear Sir, i was looking for the Xiaomi unit to install in my sleeping spot for series streaming. As i don't have a lot of headspace 1,35m approx i wanted to pose it on the floor and incline it a slightly for good projection. My possible wall to projector distance is 3 meters. Can you please tell me if this enough distance for an optimal image or might it appear too small?

Mooie review! Ik overweeg de Xiaomi te kopen voor mijn vriendin. Ze is kunstenares en zou deze goed kunnen gebruiken om digitaal werk vanaf een iPad op een doek te projecteren om deze zo over te trekken. Is deze hier geschikt voor wat betreft details, aansluiting op een iPad Pro en gebruik in een atelier met gedempt daglicht? (Ramen met lichte gordijnen ervoor met genoeg licht om te kunnen tekenen).

Glad to hear you liked it! In the video we have the global version (model:M055MGN) which unfortunately does not have 3D options with the current firmware. I believe in Asia there is another version: "MIJIA Projector Lite (Youth Edition)" that does have 3D support.

Please, make more comparisons like this. Thanks.

[@altruthsayer5216]

I have the Mogo Pro and am not really impressed with the image. I'm surprised how bad the screen door is for a 1080p device. I haven't yet tried plugging in a PC but it seems there are jagged edges on lines that can't really be fixed at any resolution (HDMI input seems worse than the Android built in image-wise). This is with sharpness down to zero. The software update (latest) is improved on the original but still not good. 4K youtube look quite low res still.....very strange if it really is showing all 1080p pixels. There is no rainbow effect which is good (compared to something like the wowoto h8) but the image seems a lot better on the 720p wowoto and no screen door is visible.

@@eyhtwozed2606 obv is because the projector is heating up and that affects the lens. You have to do the calibration after 15 min you have power it on.

[@koosbusters41]

Dank voor deze video! Ik was precies aan het twijfelen tussen deze twee apparaten dus deze video komt goed van pas:) Heb een aantal vraagjes, zou top zijn als je die kan beantwoorden: 1. Klopt het dat Netflix niet werkt via de Mogo Pro? Is het jullie gelukt dat op te lossen? 2. Hebben beide projectors AirPlay support, danwel een andere manier om screen mirroring via iPhone te doen? 3. Is het jullie gelukt NLse streaming apps, zoals Ziggo Go, Ziggo Sport, Fox Sports etc werkend te krijgen op deze beamers? 4. Hoe goed werkt de horizontal keystone van de Mogo Pro? Is dat alleen bij een hele kleine hoek of ook bij grotere hoeken?

[@koosbusters41]

Excuus, ik zie nu pas de description bij de video. Vraag 1 en 4 zijn dan al beantwoord:). Vraag me dan alleen nog af of Chromecast screen mirroring ook werkt met de iPhone en of het jullie gelukt is Nederlandse tv via ziggo go/fox Sports etc er op te draaien. Thanks!

[@hd-beamersnl7396]

Dank voor je vragen. Ik heb het nog eens goed bekeken en getest en kan je nog het volgende zeggen: 1. De Netflix app kan dus ook op de MoGo Pro worden geïnstalleerd via de XTV manager. Het grote verschil is dat je daar Netflix alleen kunt bedienen met de beamer afstandsbediening. Als je Netflix wilt casten vanaf de Netflix app op je telefoon dan kan dat alleen op de Xiaomi Mi beamer met officiële Netflix ondersteuning. 2. Een iPhone herkent geen ondersteuning voor AirPlay op de beamers. Wel is er altijd ook de mogelijkheid om te casten waardoor je wat je wilt streamen of afspelen toch naar de beamer kunt sturen. Zie volgende punt. 3. Ik kan bevestigen dat zowel Android als iPhone's probleemloos de volgende NL apps naar beide beamers kunnen casten: NPO, RTL XL, Ziggo GO (alleen live kanalen), Dumpert. Ik heb geen Fox Sports abonnement voorhanden maar clips, voor zover toegankelijk in de app, worden ook probleemloos gecast. 4. Hou er nog rekening mee wanneer je maximale horizontale keystone aanzet dat het beeld wat feller wordt aan de dichtstbijzijnde kant. Het is dus nooit helemaal optimaal.

[@koosbusters41]

HD-BeamersNL dank voor dit ontzettend uitgebreide antwoord! Ik heb mede op basis hiervan besloten dat ik voor de Mogo Pro ga. Mvg

Many thanks for the video. I was definitely looking for this content thanks for sharing. In your experience, which tripod would you recommend to buy? I've got the xiaomi mijia and I bought a really simple one and I'm guessing if there's something better. Many thanks! Regards from Spain

[@hd-beamersnl7396]

Thanks good to hear. Generally I'm using the small XGIMI tripod for both projectors. It works pretty well and is easy to quickly adjust and nice and compact for on a coffee table. The Xiaomi projector is a bit larger, therefore you need to make sure to press down the lock after making adjustments to make sure it stays fixed. The larger tripod takes more space but is more flexible in usage. Small adjustments are easier to do and you are more flexible in setting the screen size. For example, in daylight conditions you probably want a smaller screen due to the light output, and you might not want to move your coffee table just for that. I've added links to both these tripod's in the description. Depending on the situation, I can recommend both.

One questions , my wall to project it will be at the ceiling, it's almost 2x4 and as an angle of 45 degree I have no other place to project , without the horizontal keystone I'm I able to just turn a bit it phisically to left let's say in order to center image to desired position? It will stay in my room at left of the bet and will need to be set like 16:9 65 cm tv
