Didn't expect to be SURPRISED by this $500 Mini Portable Projector the Xgimi Mogo 2 ! 

Completely agree! I hope you’re enjoying it. I love mine.

It is definitely worth $300. You are definitely going to enjoy it!

​@@ToidAwesome! You got a sub, bub. 😊

​@@ToidI'm also thankful cuz most videos are focusing on the Pro model. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@Toid I can still see the 720p, but details and colors on this thing are exceptional. I'm really happy with the purchase. Thanks again 👍

Thank you

You’ll love it

It really is. I’m impressed with what Xgimi is doing.

You’re Welcome! Glad it helped

Just did the same myself lol I'm happy with it.

Thank you for noticing that. I’ll try to update that tonight.

It absolutely can. Just use the HDMI

@@Toid k, thx for answering

First of all, both companies are very good. I haven’t personally seen or tested the Formovie S5, so I can’t speak to that. However, what I can say is the Xgimi is the best color I have tested theater. And that’s very high praise. So I would wholeheartedly endorse the Xgimi. If you’re concerned about definition, I would just go with the pro model.

@@Toid Thanks for the reply. I didn't even know there was a Mogo 2 not Pro! The one i've been seeing is the Pro version. I checked both in Ali and the price is practically the same. Couldn't discover the difference between them. Another downsize is the lack of MEMC. But the 3D capability is really attractive!

@ check the link in my description. Not the Mogo Pro, that’s last years model. You would want the Mogo Pro 2. I have a direct link in the description of the video.

That’s a great question. I don’t have any experience with a formovie s5, so I couldn’t say. I do like that it’s a laser projector. But my guess is the xgimi would have more colors since the market that. I would assume the formovie would market it if they did. Either way, at least you’re going with a brand that is known. That usually leads to better quality. I’m sure you’ll love whichever one you buy.

I haven’t personally seen the pro, but all the software is the same and I would assume similar color accuracy. So the main benefit is you get a higher pixel count with the pro. I would buy the pro if I was going to use it as a projector in my bedroom, theater, etc.. For just portability and throwing some thing up quick the non-pro is fine. But if you plan to get a lot of use out of it, I would spring the extra 200 for the pro.

Another question, how would you compare this to the anker nebula solar for the same price?

@@tjwilliams9571 I would go with this one. Once again, this one has the better color spectrum which makes a huge difference.

That's a good idea. I haven't personally used the Freestyle, but Xgimi is being known for their color correctness and it is really showing. I am really enjoying all their new projectors.

Sorry. That is why I measure the projector and give you data so you can make a decision if you want to buy it. You did have to trust the video, but hopefully the empirical data can help.

I appreciate the comment. Unfortunately it’s a little misinformed. ANSI lumens is a good indicator of how well a projector might do in direct light environments. However, saying things like it is the most important spec on a projector just isn’t true. For one that spec is tested at its highest output, but not at a calibrated output. Meaning that a lot of projectors can get a very very bright image. If you don’t care about picture quality. For example, the Wimius K1 that I reviewed is by far the brightest budget projector I’ve reviewed. Having said that, it is also the absolute worst picture quality that I’ve ever reviewed. With budget projectors you really don’t get a lot of settings to really calibrate the image. So with these budget projectors, that go for those very, very bright images. You usually get a blue hue to everything and over saturated colors. This means that the colors start to smooshed together, and although they are very bright, you lose a lot of detail that was in the image originally. Now, when you calibrate a projector for better picture quality, you’re actually going to lose a lot of those Lumens. So you really want to look at the calibrated lumens that you receive not the advertise spec, which is really just a marketing gimmick. With a budget projectors you typically have the choice of going with a brighter projector that doesn’t give you a very good picture quality or one that gives you a better picture quality, but may not be as bright. Really the choice is going to be up to you and what you want to use it for. If you were are looking for using a projector for use in daylight or with lights on then maybe ANSI lumens is more important to you. If you’re looking for color accuracy and color reproduction, then that might be less important to you. If you’re looking for both, you’re probably not looking at a budget projector but looking for much more expensive one like my JVC DILA or a new laser ultra short throw projector with a screen designed to reject ambient light.

@@Toid You seem to have a lot to say on the subject and I might need a couple of hours to unpack that. Looking forward to it soon! As I need to go to bed!
