      Minor correction on the weight of the Halo Plus, you said 686g, but the scale showed 1686g (ruclips.net/video/wFcLjrGhJZA/видео.html ), that's a significant difference.

      ruclips.net/video/g4mmiR6wprM/видео.html As you can see the Mogo Pro isn't really showing 1080p due to the small 540p DMD which is pixelshifted. The Elfin from Xgimi is also pixelshifted but since it is a larger DMD and higher than 540p originally it shows almost the same as 1080p res. I'm only mentioning this as you say in the video you prefer the 1080p from the Mogo Pro than the 720p on the competing projector but in reality the 720p may be better (the 720p H8 from wowoto I tried with the Mogo Pro once seemed sharper to me than the Mogo Pro and also had a far more vibrant image).@@TheHookUp

    This projector gets the job done pretty well. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.

    Projection distance would have been an interesting metric to note. I'm contemplating buying a projector that we could also use outside for movie nights during the summer and we'll need a longer range. But even though mobile would feels like it should fit this scenario I suspect a lot of them aren't powerful enough for much more than a few meters. But, the quality of work in the rest of the comparisons was really helpful and I thank you for the clear and comprehensive comparisons for so many core metrics. You've informed my next steps for my own rental comparisons. Thanks for your work!

    Thank you for the super detailed videos. I'm looking for a small projector for a closet I've converted into a kids play fort, but I'm having the hardest time finding the true minimum throw range before these projectors can't display a focused image. The things that really matter to me in this tiny space are heat / noise, and minimum throw. The projector will be about 30 inches from the screen. In your testing have you found that these projectors can produce a clear (even if small) image at this distance?
