As the technology condensed, availability grew.
So, I completely understand the convenience of a portable projector.
It also supports 4K and HDR signals, but don’t expect that level of clarity and vibrancy.

It is still limited to a 1080p output.
In my office, it was more than enough to produce a visible image with the lights off.
You lose visibility in a lit room, and the brighter the room, the dimmer the image.

Throw in aprojector screenand the image would be even better.
The Halo+ also features 3D compatibility, though I had no means of testing it.
The real test came when I booted upEvil Dead the Game.

Angling a projector would typically result in a distorted image, or what’s known asthe keystone effect.
I tested the rig at three different angles and didn’t have to involve myself in the correction process.

The image can be easily flipped to display properly via a system menu.
With keystone correction, there’s a risk of diminishing the quality of the image.

The Halo+ also features auto-focus, which kicked in only when playing low-light games.
Surprising Theater-Quality Audio
One of the most questionable aspects of any portable projector is audio.
If you oughta keep the audio to a minimum, standard headphones can plug into the 3.5mm audio jack.
The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, and everything you need is right on the homepage.
The included remote even works with Google Assistant at the press of a button.
you could also plug in a USB-A storage equipment to access photos and external videos.
Per XGIMI, the 59W rechargeable battery is expected to last approximately 2.5 hours.
Unfortunately, that means dropping the brightness, which already takes a slight hit when not plugged in.
The projector could have been a little more user-friendly with an accessible battery.
Should You Buy the XGIMI Halo+ Portable Projector?
However, what you get is more than worth the heft.
XGIMI worked hard to make this the ultimate at-home projector that will fit just about any space.
Its wide and stocky build may be a little awkward compared to flatter models, but it still works.
But for the very high price tag, some may be deterred by the time constraint.
