The XGIMI Halo+ portable projector is awesome. That’s a heavy statement to make in the first sentence‚ but it deserves that accolade. Portable projectors have been around for some time‚ but they’ve been mediocre at best. Typically‚ you get miserable battery life‚ poor image quality‚ non-existent brightness‚ and an eye-watering price tag. Without a doubt‚ they’re designed predominantly to project corporate spreadsheets and PowerPoint demos‚ rather than the latest blockbuster‚ AAA Netflix series‚ or the best PC games. And that’s where the XGIMI Halo+ comes in. Sliding stealthily under the radar‚ as perhaps‚ one of the best gaming projectors out there for casual users. I’ve been testing screens for around nine years or so‚ and I’ve worked behind the scenes with brands developing some epic gaming products in my time too‚ and I can say that the Halo+ is the real deal. Let’s talk price first. You can pick up the Halo+ in the US for around $850 (it’s often at $650 on sale)‚ or in the UK for about £750. That doesn't sound cheap‚ but it’s a bargain compared to some of the best gaming projectors.
