Verdict

The Xiaomi Xming Q3 Neo is a compact LCD projector featuring native 1080p Full HD resolution and a brightness of 230 CVIA lumens, capable of casting images up to 120 inches with a 1.21:1 throw ratio. Key characteristics include an LED light source, two built-in 3W speakers, and smart integration with the Mijia IoT ecosystem via FengOS 3.0 (Android 9.0). Main pros include a user-friendly setup with autofocus, automatic keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. However, its primary cons are its relatively low brightness, which makes it unsuitable for well-lit rooms, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio that may struggle with deep black levels.
