While digital projectors are great at creating a big picture with high quality video and audio on a wall or projection screen, setting one up for a flat surface can get annoying and frustrating — especially for your first projector. However, digital projection company XGIMI made finding the “sweet spot” a lot easier and simpler with the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro.
Available for purchase now, the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro portable projector starts at $449 at XGIMI.com and Amazon.
When you pull the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro, you can tell from the start that it’s a high quality and premium projector that’s shaped like a cylinder. The top portion pops up to reveal a tilting head-and-neck design that’s elegant and modern.
After plugging it in and setting up Google TV via your Gmail account on the mobile app or included remote, it’s a simple “point-and-shoot” to find the best picture quality with up to 120 inches (or 10 feet) in projection size. The XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro does everything itself automatically, so you don’t need to know anything about keystone calibration, focus adjustments or picture sizing to start watching your favorite movies and TV shows in no time.
In our testing, we found that the digital projector worked seamlessly to find the best spot on a flat surface, while it readjusted on the fly when the projector was moved to another wall. We even pointed it at the ceiling and we were surprised that the projection was still as crisp, clear and bright with 450 ISO lumens of brightness.
And since it runs Google TV, the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro has instant access to popular streaming apps, including Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Paramount+, Peacock and others.
In fact, if you just want to listen to music, the digital projector doubles as a speaker with dual 5-watt Harman Kardon Speakers built-in. It has an “Ambient Light Mode” that emits pulsing lights that goes with the rhythm of the music.
Meanwhile, the digital projector is lightweight at just under 2.5 pounds, while it’s compact for portability. It has a braided loop that serves as a carrying tie around your wrist. Simply put, it’s designed for on-the-go use.
Overall, the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro is the best portable projector we tested in 2024, while it’s picture quality and usability are designed for anyone to pick up and start streaming movies and TV shows.
Starting at $449, the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro is now available for purchase at XGIMI.com and Amazon. You can get the portable projector with the XGIMI’s PowerBase Stand, which works as an adjustable mount and an extra battery life of up to five hours, for an additional $50.
There are also other accessories for the XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro digital projector, including a stylish carry case for $69 and optical filter for $49. Both are available at XGIMI.com and Amazon.
