Verdict

The XGIMI Halo Plus is a high-end portable DLP projector featuring native 1080p Full HD resolution with 4K support and a brightness of 700 to 900 ANSI/ISO lumens. It is equipped with a 59Wh built-in battery offering approximately 2.5 hours of runtime, dual 5W Harman Kardon speakers for Hi-Fi audio, and a suite of 'Intelligent Screen Adaption' (ISA) features including autofocus, auto-keystone correction, and obstacle avoidance. Running on Android TV 10 or Google TV (in newer iterations), it weighs just 1.6 kg and offers versatile connectivity through HDMI (eARC), USB, and Bluetooth 5.0. Key advantages include its compact portability, rapid 6-second boot time, and superior image uniformity; however, notable drawbacks include limited peak brightness in daylight, lack of native Netflix support on older models, and a significant drop in brightness when switching to battery power.

What customers like about XGIMI Halo Plus?

  • Excellent portability with a compact design and an integrated 59Wh battery providing roughly 2 to 2.5 hours of playback.
  • High brightness for its class, rated at 700-900 ANSI lumens, making it suitable for dark or low-light environments.
  • Impressive Harman Kardon dual 5W speakers that deliver loud, clear audio with decent bass for a portable device.
  • Advanced Intelligent Screen Adaption (ISA) technology, including fast auto-focus, auto-keystone correction, and obstacle avoidance for effortless setup.
  • Sharp 1080p native resolution with support for 4K and HDR10 input.
  • Quick boot-up times, often reaching the home screen in under 6 to 10 seconds from hibernation.

What customers dislike about XGIMI Halo Plus?

  • Lack of native Netflix support on older models, requiring a workaround or external streaming stick.
  • Significant drop in brightness (roughly 50%) when running on battery power compared to being plugged in.
  • Mediocre black levels and contrast, where dark scenes can appear somewhat grey rather than deep black.
  • Subpar input lag for competitive gaming, though acceptable for casual single-player titles.
  • Poor pre-calibration color accuracy out of the box, often requiring manual adjustment for natural tones.
  • Noticeable fan noise when running at maximum brightness, though it is often masked by the audio.
