Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Hisense M2 Pro ist ein kompakter Triple-Laser-Beamer mit scharfem 4K-Bild per Pixel-Shift, kräftigen Farben und leisem Lüfter. Dazu kommen ein seltener optischer Zoom mit Faktor 1,3 und offizielles Netflix auf Vidaa. Gemessene 1.355 bis 1.500 Lumen reichen aber nur für abgedunkelte Räume, und der einzige HDMI-Eingang wird schnell zum Engpass.

Pros

  • Scharfes, detailreiches 4K-Bild per Pixel-Shift auf normalem Sitzabstand
  • Optischer 1,3-fach-Zoom, motorisch per Fernbedienung, ideal für Deckenmontage
  • Im Spielmodus mit DLP-Turbo nur 17 bis 18 ms Eingabeverzögerung
  • Leiser Lüfter mit 22 bis 28 dB bei normaler Raumtemperatur
  • Netflix, Disney+ und Apple TV offiziell auf flottem Vidaa-System
  • Triple-Laser deckt 99,1 % DCI-P3 ab, kräftige Farben

Cons

  • Mit rund 1.355 bis 1.500 Lumen bei Tageslicht verblasst das Bild
  • Nur ein HDMI-Eingang, mit Soundbar an eARC kein Platz für Zuspieler
  • Werbebanner auf der Startseite und beim Wechsel der Bildmodi
  • Nativer Kontrast 1.000:1, Schwarz bleibt dunkles Grau
  • Kein VRR, kein 4K mit 120 Hz, kein Lens Shift

Der XGIMI Elfin Flip 4K ist ein farbtreuer, leiser Laser-Beamer für abgedunkelte Wohn- und Schlafzimmer, der per Pixel-Shift ein feines 4K-Bild bis etwa 90 Zoll zeigt. Optischer Zoom und 7 ms Input Lag machen ihn flexibel und konsolentauglich. Der Haken: Statt 1.600 kommen nur rund 820 bis 1.070 Lumen an, der Ton ist dünn, und ohne Akku brauchst du immer eine Steckdose.

Pros

  • Sehr farbtreu, knapp 98 % des BT.2020-Farbraums abgedeckt
  • Nur 7 ms Input Lag, 120 Hz in Full HD für Konsolen
  • Optischer Zoom 0,98 bis 1,3:1 ohne Schärfeverlust
  • Google TV mit offizieller Netflix-App und Chromecast
  • Leiser Lüfter mit 27 bis 35 dB im Normalbetrieb
  • Guter nativer Kontrast von etwa 1.400 bis 1.500:1

Cons

  • Nur rund 820 bis 1.070 statt 1.600 Lumen im Filmmodus
  • Einzelner 7-W-Lautsprecher klingt dünn und verzerrt bei hoher Lautstärke
  • Kein Akku, Betrieb nur mit externem 120-W-Netzteil
  • Menüs von Google TV ruckeln, 4K-HDR stockt beim Vorspulen
  • Zoom nur über das Menü, Automatik stellt ihn teils um
