What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Xgody N4

  • 800 ANSI lumens handle a room with the lights on, though not daylight.
  • A 15000:1 contrast rating gives dark scenes more depth.
  • HDR10+ support helps with bright and dark areas in films.
  • Auto keystone and auto-focus make setup quick.
  • At 1.13 kg it is light enough to move between rooms.
  • Stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm jack give two ways to listen.

What customers don't like about Xgody N4

  • It tops out at 120 inch, which is small for a big wall.
  • Eco mode is 32 dB, so a fan sound is audible in a quiet room.
  • Its proprietary system has fewer apps than Android.
  • A VGA port is an older connection, so many modern laptops need an adapter.

Verdict

A 1080p picture at 800 ANSI lumens makes the Xgody N4 a sensible pick for a family living room. Its 15000:1 contrast rating helps dark scenes look deep, and HDR10+ handles bright and dark areas better. It can project up to 120 inch, and auto keystone and auto-focus set the picture quickly. The body weighs 1.13 kg and is 153 mm wide, so it sits neatly on a table. It draws 65 W in use, which keeps power demand low. Eco mode runs at 32 dB, so you can hear a faint fan sound in a quiet room. The system runs a proprietary OS rather than Android, so the app choice is smaller. It fits a household that wants a reasonably bright projector for movies and sports at home.
