Some projectors are built for video playback and home entertainment, while others are designed for still images and office use. The Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-W01 straddles the line between the two, performing satisfyingly in both environments. In our review, writer M. David Stone said that the device « offers decent color accuracy and much higher brightness than home entertainment mini projectors that are only a little lighter and don’t cost much less », praising its three-chip LCD that eliminates rainbow artifacts. With a 3,000 lumen bulb, it works well even in illuminated rooms, and the 720p video output is crisp and clean.
Projectors come in a wide variety of form factors, but there’s been a lot of advancement in the ultra-portable niche. One of the best values right now is the Xgimi MoGo 2, especially at $150 off. We reviewed it and writer M. David Stone said that it « offers plenty of features, including auto focus and robust audio for its size. » The built-in Android TV 11 platform lets you stream content from your favorite services without plugging in an additional device, making it even more portable to any location that has Wi-Fi. One caveat is that it doesn’t feature an internal battery, so you need to have access to a plug to run it or purchase an external battery pack.
Although the weather’s not quite right for outdoor movie nights (depending on where you live), a portable projector is a solid investment, especially with a price cut like this. We reviewed the BenQ GP100A, with writer M. David Stone saying that it « delivers a bright picture, image quality that’s great for casual viewing, and robust audio, making it an excellent choice for a room-to-room portable projector.
