Lever on the bottom is not to cover up the serial number it’s a kickstand to tilt rejecter
y isnt this in australia?? i already bought the halo now found out theres a plus but only in usa
Running on battery, does quality output reduce?
should i buy halo or mogo?
What is the projection distance from the screen for a 100 inch image?
A little over 9 ft
on the website it says Compatible Resolution 2K/4K what is meant by this. Can this projector then project 4K ? if hooked up to my PS5
This can only display in 1080p. Many manufacturers like to say "compatible" or "capable of playing" 4K, but they are simply (albeit, covertly) referring to the ability to open and smoothly play 4K source files (without skipping, etc). In otherward, the hardware is fast enough to open and play. However, the end result will still be 1080p since this is the max-displayable resolution of the projector itself. -- Ryan S.
does this support bluetooth headphones and if so, what is the latency like? Does it synchronise the image or something similar?
Yes, you can connect Bluetooth headphones via the accessories option in settings. The latency is undetectable unless what you're watching has bad editing. A UA-cam video may or may not be in sync because of this, where a movie comes in flawlessly. At least as far as the human eye can tell. -- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork excellent, thanks for the prompt and detailed response Ryan! Viewsonic have this feature as a selling point for the M2e so it’s in all of the reviews. That was the final feature I was after in the head to head so the Halo+ is now a clear winner.
@@thisrocks I'll let the author know in case they want to add a note about Bluetooth headphones. -- Ryan S.
8:30 It's a kickstand.
Nooo it's a SN number hider... "Daaa!" :D Why would You think it's a kickstand!? :D
Hello, how does this compare to the mogo 2 pro? Which is better as far as ease of setup and video quality?
Halo+ would be a step up due to its brightness and built-in lithium battery. -- Zack B.
@@PocNetwork do you know how the mogo 2 pro compares to the dice protector?
Can it connect iPhone ?
The reason I'm planning to buy this is because we're going camping where there is no internet or phone signal. Would I be able to screen mirror my phone which is a Galaxy Fold 3 to this Halo+ and play all my downloaded shows and movies from Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, or Netflix? If yes, how do I screen mirror without wifi connection or any signal of sort? Would USB C to HDMI work?
You can cast your screen to the projector without Wi-Fi as this creates a direct connection between the two devices. You can also go USB-C to HDMI if your phone supports sending video from USB-C. You can also load all of your files onto a USB stick, and play them from there. This saving the battery on your phone some. -- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it.
Hey mate awesome review, can you plz confirm whether it needs wifi to chromecast videos or stream videos etc? can i use a mobile hotspot when outdoors to cast? Thanks
Chromecast is device to device and no WiFi is needed for the projector. However, your phone would need a connection to stream if the content is online. If the content is downloaded/saved to the phone (locally), then no internet connection would be needed for either. Also, you can use your phone's hotspot to provide WiFi to the projector as long as your phone supports this -- James H.
Does it support screen mirroring of apple devices? For Netflix
Yes, but it would require the Google Home app or a third-party Chromecast app of your choice as Apple doesn't have the feature built-in directly. -- Ryan S.
If u mirrored your phone to it and opened netflix on your phone would it work or would u not be able to use netflix ??
That would work as it becomes a Chromecast display like any other. -- Ryan S.
or just add any external smart tv stick, Fire stick, Roku, or Chrome cast.. its not a technical issue its licensing specific for XGIMI
Hi, does Netflix work natively on the new Halo+?
Just got one thinking it does, but unfortunately it doesn’t support Netflix by any means so I will return it.
@@laesilva That's just not true. You can install and run Netflix on here and there are guides on how to do this.
@@MountainManGuy yes but it is not natively you need to use desktop manager and get to use there which is the android version made for small screens just terrible, that is just the only one downside on this device the rest works perfectly.
@@laesilva wait so Netflix is not build in?
@@charlep3962 unfortunately not, this version have the new android tv 10 but Netflix is not native and does not work without the desktop manager workaround which is the only downside on this device, using Netflix on desktop manager can be frustrating since it is the mobile version and everything looks terrible and outdated.
What do you think about this one vs the xiaomi smart projector pro 2, they have almost the same price, on paper the xiaomi is better but it seems that the image quality is better for the halo+
What do you think
Hard to say for sure as we haven't tested the Pro 2. We'd have to sit them side by side to get a full opinion before leaning one way or the other. -- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork thanks
I am also planning to buy same confused between xiaomi mijia projector 2 pro or xgimi halo +
@@FlauntAarna I finally bought the smart pro because the of price, the higher ansi lumens and native compatibility with netflix
@@brucewayne2480 how is thr picture quality if u can send some video demos
Hi. How to use this projector with xbox, i connected hdmi but nothing happens?
Use the input button on the remote to switch to the HDMI input. It should pick the Xbox right up like any other HDMI device. -- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork The fact of the matter is that I connect the set-top box, it sees the hdmi cable connection, but the image does not display. Maybe the projector has a menu where you can change hdmi 1 to hdmi 2?
@@Chelovek_iz_Kemerovo HDMI version backward compatibility is built into the HDMI spec itself. You shouldn't have to manually switch between versions on any device (although we have seen this before, just not on this projector). You may want to reach out to XGIMI to see what they say. -- Ryan S.
Can it play 4K Blu-ray discs on 4K?
It doesn't have a drive. You can connect a Blu-ray player to it. It just won't display at 4k as the projector is 1080p. -- Ryan S.
Is it available for purchase yet?
We did find one retailer selling it thus far. We added the link to the description. Beyond that, it still looks as though it is making its way to other stores. -- Ryan S.
Which do you prefer this one or the elfin?
This depends on each person and what they plan to do with it. If mobility (battery operation) is a necessity, then this would be the sure win. If you plan to keep it indoors and near a plug, then the Elfin is the way to go. This is also discussed in the video as well. -- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork I love the Elfin!
3 qus
1. is the remote bluetooth? or ir..
2. is there any option by which it can turn on automatically after it get power on from the switch board?
3. does it automatically shift/adjust focus and make the projection blur while watching movies , like mi youth v2
1) The remote is Bluetooth
2) Theoretically this may be possible, but not normal-user-friendly as it would involve Android ADB commands. None of which we have tested on this specific model. Google Assistant only has access to casting and volume, so that wouldn't be an option using automations.
3) We have never seen it adjust itself during video playback. It should only adjust itself when you first turn it on or you move it. If you bump into it while watching your movie, it will adjust itself.
-- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork 2. in mi projector 2 it has an option to turn on when the switch on but its only in chinise version.. as I am a lazy person, i have made full automation via alexa echo.. set an routine called "movie time" which has appx 16 commands.
as the remote is bluetooth it cant be controlled via alexa or broadlink universal remote. thats the issue. issue of laziness
:P
3. in mi projector it does not shows up.. like watching a movie will not make u feel any thing but watch the movie for 30 mins and just go to settings or like the home page.. and it shows blurrness and i have to refocus again.. mostly happens when connected to my pc.
@@koushiktykoon1385 2) This is correct. Bluetooth remotes are nice because they don't have to be close and pointed directly at the device. However, yes you lose the ability to make use of IR blasters to automate things.
3) That is quite unfortunate. Almost as if that projector has a lazy eye that slowly loses focus on its target over time. We have not seen this in the Halo and we have spent a pretty good amount of time playing with it and continue to do so.
-- Ryan S.
@@PocNetwork what is its booting time
@@koushiktykoon1385 This can be seen in the video. Boot time depends on coming from sleep vs fresh power on vs coming back from an update, etc. The boot time is comparable with a lot of Android projectors though and the hardware is quite nice for playback of any format we threw at it. -- Ryan S.
Does it support airplay?
No, it does not support AirPlay. It is a Chromecast device, so you need a Chromecast-compatible device to cast to it. -- Ryan S.
Can you add a battery pack to it
It already has a battery built-in. But technically, if you had a battery solution that was capable of driving the wattage requirements of the projector via an Edison outlet on the battery, then yes. If not, it wouldn't power the projector and would simply (slowly) charge its internal battery at best. You'd likely be looking at an external battery you'd typically use for camping that could power things like a TV and other accessories. Unless you already have one, that could get expensive quickly. -- Ryan S.
Has anyone used this with iPhone/iPad? Easy?
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
