The issue with most portable projectors is that they look washed out in daylight. XGIMI’s latest product launch is designed to fix this by expanding its Elfin Flip series. This new lineup, featuring the Elfin Flip 4K and the Elfin Flip Laser, is designed to end the trade-off between portability and performance for those of us moving between different rooms in a home.
The flagship model is clearly not intended to be a mere portable projector. It’s a performance-class home projector designed to move between the living room, bedroom, and beyond. Weighing only 1.55kg and measuring about 24.5cm wide, it fits easily onto a shelf or a small side table.
The technical specifications are really impressive for such a compact projector. It uses an RGB triple laser engine to deliver 1,600 ISO lumens of brightness and a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. For those who value colour accuracy, the 110% BT.2020 coverage is quite impressive for a unit this size.
For those who use their projector for gaming, an input lag of 1ms at 1080P@120Hz, alongside VRR and ALLM support, is a key set of features that could make it a viable alternative to a small TV for playing your favourite titles on a big screen.
Features like optical zoom, which allow precise screen sizing without physically moving the device, are nice and should make it easy to use.
For those who do not require 4K resolution, the Elfin Flip Laser offers a strong middle ground. Like its more expensive sibling, it uses the RGB triple laser light source, which delivers higher brightness and contrast than older LED-based models. While the dynamic contrast is slightly lower at 10,000:1, it could be a powerful option for standard streaming.
The Elfin Flip Laser has a 7W Harman Kardon speaker with Dolby Audio support. In my experience, having decent built-in audio reduces the clutter of extra cables and external speakers in a small room.
It also runs Google TV, with direct access to Netflix and Prime Video.
The series also includes the existing Elfin Flip Plus for everyday use. While XGIMI will also launch the MIRA ultra-short-throw series later this year, these new Elfin models are much more suited to anyone who needs a versatile, moveable screen.
