![]() ![]() I tried the MoGo 2 Pro with all kinds of sizes on all kinds of surfaces, including projector screens, bed sheets, white walls, dark walls, shiplap walls, ceilings, doors, and floors. The MoGo 2 Pro’s modest 400 ISO lumen DLP lamp (equivalent to around 500 ANSI lumens, if you’re comparing it to that more common standard) lets you project a 1920 x 1080 pixel image from 40 inches to 200 inches in size, although Xgimi recommends a range of between 60 inches and 120 inches for best results. The diminutive size (6.33 by 4.68 by 4.25 inches) and weight (2.42 pounds) of the MoGo 2 Pro and the ease at which it can be moved around meant that I could try just about any surface as a potential screen. Image size and quality Derek Malcolm / Digital Trends Admittedly, I turned the eye protection feature off because it was triggering when anyone passed by (down in front!), and the object avoidance didn’t seem to notice a light switch at one point. And while it can be a bit finicky, Xgimi also gives you the option to manually adjust the image, too.Īdditional automatic features include a safeguard for kids and pets that detects movement in front of the projector and dims the bulb to protect fragile eyes, and an automatic obstacle detection feature that can rescale the image around things on the wall such as hanging art or light switches. It greatly simplifies things while jockeying the projector back-and-forth, side to side, and up or down to find the perfect size, angle, and position in any situation - the focus and shape of the image corrects itself every time. Each time you move the projector, even slightly, the auto keystone activates and adjusts and aligns the image to whatever surface you’re projecting on, and then sharpens the focus. Once complete, the MoGo 2 Pro is ready to go in seconds from standby mode, at which time the projector’s nifty auto adjustments kick in. It sounds like a lot, but the process doesn’t take any longer than setting up other streaming devices like a Roku or Fire TV, either of which, it’s worth mentioning, you could just connect to the MoGo 2 Pro’s HDMI port and skip much of this setup if you’d rather bypass Android TV altogether.Īuto keystone adjusts and aligns the image to whatever surface you’re projecting on and then sharpens the focus. That took a while, and for some reason, Netflix had to be installed using a desktop manager app I needed to download first. Instead, I had to carry out the process with the included Bluetooth remote, which meant signing in to Google and all my streaming services (after downloading them all from the Play Store) manually with the on-screen (ugh!) keyboard. ![]() ![]() The Android Quick Start feature pulls your Google account and Wi-Fi credentials from the device and even streamlines the login process with all your streaming services, which was actually the most painful part of the setup for me as I don’t use an Android device. The projector boots up quickly and even on the initial setup, the auto keystone correction and focus kick in and adjust the image so you can continue the setup process.Īndroid TV setup is just as easy, especially if you have an Android phone. Open the box, prop the MoGo 2 Pro on a flat(ish) surface or tripod if you have one (it has a threaded hole for just that on the bottom), plug it into a power outlet with the included USB-C power brick (or a 65-watt power pack), turn it on, and point it at a wall or screen. If you’re new to projectors and are worried about setting one up, don’t be.

And when the end credits roll, the MoGo 2 Pro doubles as a decent little Bluetooth speaker for post-movie music. While it does struggle in brighter spaces, the MoGo 2 Pro excels in the dark and can produce a big and crisp 1080p image. It’s a snap to set up and has some intelligent automatic focus and keystone adjustment features that are almost magic-like when projecting a movie or show on a wide range of surfaces. I’ve been toting the MoGo 2 Pro around with me for a couple of weeks. A lightweight and compact DLP projector that resembles a slightly smaller Sonos Play:1 speaker, the MoGo 2 Pro runs on the familiar Android TV platform, is dead simple to use, and provides access to all your streaming services and loads of apps from the Google Play Store. On that note, I’m happy to report that the $599 Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro smart projector can and will elicit such sounds of delight and then some. ![]()
