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 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

Der XGIMI MoGo 4 ist ein mobiler Full-HD-Beamer mit eingebautem Akku, der im abgedunkelten Raum ein scharfes, farbkräftiges Bild zeigt und sich fast von selbst einrichtet. Netflix läuft offiziell unter Google TV, im Eco-Modus reicht der Akku für einen langen Film. Der Haken: nur bei Dunkelheit wirklich brauchbar, dazu graues Schwarz und ein zeitweise träges Menü.

Pros

  • Scharfes Full-HD-Bild von der Mitte bis zum Rand
  • Akku hält im Eco-Modus knapp 200 min bis gut 3 h
  • Netflix als offizielle App unter Google TV, kein Stick nötig
  • Bild steht nach rund 15 s dank Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur
  • Input Lag von gut 22 ms im Spielmodus
  • Klare Sprachwiedergabe ohne Verzerrung bei voller Lautstärke

Cons

  • Braucht abgedunkelten Raum, bei Tageslicht saufen dunkle Szenen ab
  • Kontrast von rund 320:1, Schwarz wirkt dunkelgrau
  • Menü reagiert zeitweise verzögert, etwa beim App-Wechsel
  • Im Akkubetrieb nur 150 bis 250 Lumen im Eco-Modus
  • HDR10 nur in Apps, nicht über HDMI
