XGIMI MoGo 2 Review: A Full-Featured Projector for Your Outdoor Movie Nights?

First Impressions​

The XGIMI MoGo 2 has a compact design and weighs only 2.4 pounds, but it doesnt have an integrated battery, so you still need to plug it into an outlet. It has full Auto Keystone correction and autofocus, so its easy to set up. The projector has two integrated 8W speakers, so you won't need to worry about connecting it to a soundbar or audio system when bringing it with you.
This 720p DLP projector uses an LED bulb as its light source, and its rated for up to 25,000 hours by the manufacturer, so you likely wont ever have to worry about replacing it. If you'd prefer a sharper 1080p image, consider theLG CineBeam PF50KAinstead.

Viewing Experience
The XGIMI MoGo 2 is a compact projector that delivers a satisfactory viewing experience in dark environments, thanks to its good brightness uniformity. However, it falls short in contrast performance, with blacks appearing less defined against its dim whites, leading to an overall unimpressive image quality in low-light settings. The projector boasts a wide color gamut, effectively covering nearly all of the Rec. 709 color space, though it struggles with accurate blue representation. While it handles the wider Rec. 2020 color space reasonably well, the overall performance may not meet the expectations of those seeking vibrant and dynamic visuals.
