XGIMI HALO PORTABLE LED SMART PROJECTOR

Best Battery Powered Outdoor Projectors - Projector Reviews Image

TThe Sony VPL-XW5000ES 4K SXRD Home Theater Projector is celebrated for its balance of performance, features, and value, marking itself as the most budget-friendly 4K model both in Sony’s lineup and in the market as a whole. This affordability does not compromise its performance, as it competes robustly against most products in its class. This is attributed to the inclusion of several advanced Sony technologies, which were previously exclusive to more expensive models.

Despite being a base model, it holds its own against more feature-rich models, offering a performance that is commendable. The projector seems to embody a kind of democratization of high-quality projection technology, offering high-end features to consumers at a relatively lower price point. This is particularly highlighted by its ability to outperform most products in its class, making it a notable contender for those seeking quality and performance without the hefty price tag.

Some of the things you are able to use voice control for would be to ask the projector to “Go to my projector settings” or “Play music.”

With Android TV built in, the Halo provides seamless access to popular streaming services, including Hulu, HBO Max, and YouTube, right out of the box. The Halo with the Android TV OS makes it easy to access the streaming entertainment you enjoy.

The Halo also has a built-in media player and that can access files via its USB inputs. The USB input can be used to play back many different types of media (videos, MP3, photos, etc.).

For maximum portability, the Halo is equipped with a built-in battery which, according to XGIMI, allows up to eight hours of music playback or up to four hours of video playback time. This really enhances the unit’s portability and makes it one of the best outdoor projectors for a backyard theater or watching a movie at a camp site.

The LS11000’s chassis is engineered to accommodate larger, slower-moving fans which help in muffling the exhaust noise, making it quieter than most Home Theater projectors. This feature brings it on par with other premium home theater projectors from reputable manufacturers like Sony and JVC in terms of noise level. It's a thoughtful design aspect that enhances the user experience, especially during quiet or intense scenes where projector noise could be distracting. This aligns the LS11000 with premium offerings in the market, showcasing a design that is user-centric and performance-oriented.

ELITE PROJECTOR MOSICGO 360 SYSTEM

Elite Screens MosicGo Special Interest Award Winner

The Elite MosicGO 360 comes with not only the ultra-short-throw projector, but an adjustable tripod, and two projector screens. This makes it an all-in-one solution for indoor and outdoor entertainment.

The Elite MosicGO is an ultra-short-throw projector with 1,000 lumens and can project an image of up to 120″ diagonally. The projector may actually appear even brighter than its lumen rating because we perceive lumens coming from LED (and laser) projectors as being brighter than lamp-based projectors. The projector has full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080), and because it’s a short-throw projector, you can wow your guests by projecting a 100-inch image from just over a foot away.

The Sport version of the MosicGO projector has a built-in battery that offers up to 3 hours of video and up to 30 hours of music while acting as a power charging hub for a variety of portable devices.

MosicGo 360 Specifications

Price $1189 to 2099 (depending on the configuration)
Brightness 1000 ANSI lumens
Resolution 1920 x 1080
Light Source LED
Light Source Lifespan 25,000 fours
Inputs HDMI x 2, USB-A x 2, USB-C
Weight 6 lbs( 25lbs when bundled with projector, tripod, 58" screen)
Battery life 30 hours of music, 3 hours of video playback
Smart Features None
Sound Dual 8-watt built-in speakers
 

The projector’s USB-C and two USB-A inputs can be used to power a streaming dongle or charge a mobile device. The USB-C is even powerful enough to charge a Macbook. The projector is about: 6.6” wide x 3.7” high x 12.6” deep, and the unit weighs about 6.2 lbs.

For ultimate flexibility, the MosicGo 360 offers a complete entertainment package for both outdoor and indoor uses. Two screens are included, one is  Outdoor Yard Master 2 Series, 58″ Diag., 16:9 screen, and the second is an Indoor EDGE FREE fixed frame 16:9 screen.

You will also get a carrying bag for storage and transportation and a tripod stand for easy setup. The projector, tripod, and screen can be neatly packed into the carrying case, which was clearly designed with portability in mind. When packed up, the MosicGO 360 with its included tripod and the 58” portable screen weigh a total of just 25.3 pounds. This unit is IPX2 spillproof certified to protect from changes in weather for outdoor/indoor Use.

The Elite MosicGO 360 is great for gaming, with a low input lag of just 17ms. The very low input lag, combined with the projector’s 1080 resolution and ultra-short throw design, makes the MosicGo ideal for gaming on the go, and one of the best outdoor projectors around.

The MosicGO 360 can also function as a wireless speaker via Bluetooth connection. The MosicGo has dual 8-watt built-in speakers located on the left and right sides of the projector. They can play more than loud enough for everyone sitting around the projector to hear. The overall sound quality matched that of a decently sized portable Bluetooth speaker. If higher quality audio is needed, the projector has a mini-jack audio output that can be used to connect to an external audio system.

AAXA M7

AAXA M7

The AAXA M7 is a portable projector that delivers big-screen projection at Full HD 1080p and it is 4K 30 fps ready. Thanks to a 3-hour built-in battery capable of showing an entire movie, this is a great projector for outdoor adventures like camping trips or beach parties. The projector can also act as a power bank for charging your smart devices. The AAXA M6 weighs just under 3lbs and is compact enough to easily fit into a backpack.

The M7 does not have any built-in streaming apps. If you’re wondering how you are going to play content while out of the home, the AAXA M7 includes an onboard media player capable of playing videos, picture slide shows, and other media. The M7 can accept media from a micro-SD card, USB (up to 64GB), or through its HDMI video or 3.5mm AV input. It also outputs audio via a 3.5mm headphone jack. A USB-C compatible input port allows for screen mirroring from USB-C compatible devices.

AAXA M7 Specifications

Price $488
Brightness 1200 LED lumens (626 ANSI lumens measured)
Resolution 1920 x1080
Light Source LED
Light Source Lifespan 20,000 hours
Inputs HDMI x 1, USB A, USB C
Weight 2.99 lbs
Battery Life Up to 3 hours
Smart Features Built-in Media PLayer
Sound System 4-Watt Stereo Speakers
 

Although the AAXA M7 comes equipped with two 4-watt speakers placed side by side on the right side of the projector, we found the positioning is not optimal for good stereo reproduction. The speakers may be loud enough for a small audience, but we recommend connecting the M7 to external audio via the included 3.5-inch audio jack.

The AAXA M7 is small enough to take with you almost anywhere. The M7 displays a bright picture, better than many Pico projectors reviewed here at Projector Reviews, making it one of the top outdoor projectors. The picture is very watchable even in a room with a modest amount of ambient light. Bigger projectors will undoubtedly have better built-in sound and a brighter image. However, they will certainly be considerably larger and heavier than the M7.

We found so much about this projector appealing but nothing as much as the very affordable $488.00 price
