Elfin Flip Plus Portable Projector, Google TV with Licensed Netflix, 500 ISO Lumens, 1080P Resolution Home Projector, Build-in Adjustable Stand, Lightweight and Compact Design, Screen Adaption

For the price, this is a stellar little machine. I'm really impressed by how bright it is, and how clear the picture is even on a bare wall (no screen). It's easy to navigate right out of the box. Plugged it in, turned it on, away we go. Native Netflix is a great feature; I wish there were more apps directly on the OS. Maybe future updates will improve the number of apps. The projector is super light and easy to move around. I didn't feel it getting too hot while I used it (longest time so far 2.5 hours in one session). The fan is super quiet. The remote is responsive. Still messing with the settings to get it exactly right. The built-in speaker is clear and loud, and sounds better than bluetooth connected speakers. Overall, this is a great value projector and I'm really glad I bought it. Some caveats- I'm not using it to replace a tv or be my only screen, it's not a "home theater," and I'm not using it outside. It's the thing I'm using for parties, sports events, and casual movie nights with friends. I think it's perfect for that, but I don't think I would want this to be my only machine (gaming, zoom calls, binging shows, etc etc).

Pro: 1. Good as gaming projector. Delay is almost unnoticeable. I use a motion capture device, Nex playground selling on Amazon. The games can be played smoothly 2. Can project to ceiling 3. Very light, good portability. 4. Modern design, looks good in room 5. Color matches great to PC screen. Contrast is good. Texts in a paper, videos can both be resolved well 6. Sound quality is great 7. Noise is very, very low 8. Device doesn’t turn hot even after using a few hours Sort of con: The brightness is good enough with room light on, but it can be brighter. It looks a bit dim with light on, so I prefer to turn light off when using this projector.

If your budget is around $300, I recommend this DLP projector over an LCD one. The colors and contrast are significantly better than the ~$270 LCD projector I tested before this. In a bedroom set up like a theater with blackout curtains, acoustic panels, a projection screen, and a dedicated soundbar with subwoofer, the experience is much nicer. There are trade-offs though. The user interface is simpler compared to the $270 LCD projector I tried, which came with built-in Google TV and allowed almost every major streaming service to be downloaded directly onto the device. The XGIMI OS on this model is more basic. For example, Peacock cannot be downloaded from the XGIMI store, so we use the built-in browser instead. It works fine, but it's a small inconvenience. On the flip side, this simpler OS makes navigation much faster, and I've noticed zero stuttering or buffering compared to Google TV. Most of the time I play movies from my MacBook along with an app called BetterDisplay. This app lets me increase brightness without washing out colors, enable HDR and switch to 12-bit color depth instead of the standard 10-bit, and turn on HiDPI mode for higher pixel density. The result is a noticeably clearer and sharper image. That is how I was able to get the projector to look like the image below on a 120-inch screen. For $300 this projector offers excellent clarity, strong brightness ( with BetterDisplay), and color performance that easily beats budget LCD models. The trade-offs in software are worth it for the picture quality.

The auto focus and keystone are great! The reviews that complain about the halo....ignore. If you have it WAY backed up it will cast a larger image and then scale down as you like but the HALO will still be visible! Move your projector closer ! It will be brighter and zero halo... lol. I hope it lasts, some of the reviews claim it just stops working... I'll let you know. Pros - Small, Bright, Auto focus, Auto keystone, Gorgeous picture, Sound is great Colors are nice! Negatives- No handle, limited controls on the projector, limited controls on remote, no backlight on remote

We loved this portable projector. The 1080p image quality is excellent, with sharp colors and enough brightness to use it in different environments. The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to take anywhere, and the built-in adjustable stand is very convenient for positioning the projector perfectly without any hassle. Also, the Netflix license is a great plus, allowing you to enjoy content directly without issues. Overall, a product that exceeded our expectations and that we highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality portable projector.

TLDR: Great projector but cheap remote control EDIT: 5/6/2022 - 1 star I noticed the remote's up arrow is must be pressed hard to work. All of the other buttons I just have to click a little bit. First Review 5/6/2022 - 4 stars Received 5/5/2022 I was fortunate enough to see and used the following 1080P projectors and I have ranked them: 1. Xgimi Horizon 2. Nebula Cosmos 1080P 3. Anker Nebula Solar Portable 4. Xgimi Elfin Mini Horizon and Cosmos spits on the Solar and Elfin both in sound and brightness so most of my comparison will be between Horizon and Cosmos Pros - Auto keystone correction: Horizon's 4D and Cosmos's 2D. Being able to set Horizon anywhere auto adjust is a huge plus while Cosmos has to be place around in front of you which is limiting. I missed Elfin Mini's easy usage that bugs on Cosmos on top of lack of smartness made me purchase Horizon - Brightness: Horizon's 2200 vs Cosmos's 900. I did not know how important brightness especially for living room like mine that is not light controlled. Although Cosmos was usable during day time, I wouldnt prefer it. With Horizon, I actually enjoy using my projector now even at day time or windows open as it is still super clear - Shape: Horizon's cube vs Cosmos's oval shape. Cube is definitely a lot space friendlier compared to the oval shape. Although Horizon is a bit taller, Cosmos is wider - Bugs: Have not seen any from Horizon but with Cosmos, I keep getting randomly disconnected from Wifi every 30 mins (Im sure it's not Nebula's fault) because bugs happens but that was enough for me to switch to Horizon Cons - Speakers: Horizon's 2x 8W built-in Harman Kardon vs Cosmos's Dolby Digital Plus& 2x10W. Horizon seems to be louder but Comos has a higher sound quality and deeper bass - I will miss Cosmos's bluetooth speaker mode as Horizon does not have it. For Horizon, Air Screen would be required to play musics from my phone to the projector but Cosmos turns off the lamp which increases your projector's longevity especially when you play lots of music - Power: Horizon's power brick is bigger which makes it less portable and eats more power from my power bank compared to Cosmos smaller power brick - Remote Control: Horizon's thick, longer, heavier, and the small rounded volume buttons are aligned horizontally, far away from each other, are also the flattest buttons ever. Like did you guys run out of plastics or something? It also curves up right underneath it making them even harder to click. It also makes this loud noise when placed down. Click feeling feels cheaper compared to Comos controller. Meanwhile Cosmos are way thinner, way lighter, smaller, and well put together. For my use case, I am sticking with Horizon because I love the brightness and the user friendliness of 4D auto correct keystone

Purchase last Christmas! And still loving it! The adjustable screen makes it very portable! This baby has 4k quality and worth every penny! It was very easy to setup and the updates improves each time. We use a fire stick, but the apps on it allows you eliminate requiring a streaming device!

I was completely blown away by the sound quality of this projector. The Harman Kardon speakers exceed all expectations — phenomenal depth, rich bass, and immersive audio that fills the room effortlessly. There’s absolutely no need for a soundbar; the built-in speakers handle everything flawlessly. The image quality is just as impressive — bright, sharp, and perfect for home viewing. Colors are vibrant, and the brightness is ideal even in moderately lit rooms. For the price, this is hands down the best purchase I’ve made. The build quality, remote control, and overall design are top-tier, with a premium feel and exceptional functionality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding home theater experience.
