When Bluetooth is an option, we connect the projector to a Tribit XSound Go speaker (the budget pick in our guide to the best portable Bluetooth speaker) to test for ease of pairing, signal reliability, and lip-sync issues. But in choosing we make sure that, if you wanted to, you could connect an external speaker or pair of headphones, either directly with a cable or with Bluetooth.

Speaker quality: We want a projector’s speaker to be robust enough that you don’t have to use an external speaker in order to enjoy whatever you’re watching.

Does the picture look rich and clean? Is the picture sharp? Do colors look natural, or are they wildly exaggerated? Picture quality: We look at how each projector measures objectively, as well as how the image looks with real-world content.Most projectors in this category lack features, such as lens shifting and zoom, that make it easier to position the image precisely on a screen. We give extra points to projectors that perform one or both of these functions automatically. Picture setup: It should be simple to focus and keystone (make your image appear rectangular, even if you’re projecting it at an angle) your projector.Some projectors give you the option of downloading a remote app to your phone that you can use instead of the included remote we view this as an advantage as long as the app connects quickly and is easy to use. An ideal remote is lightweight, with a simple layout that makes all of the primary buttons easy to find, not crowded by other options. Control options: The included remote should have all the necessary buttons and be able to control all the internal apps.If a projector has internal apps for services like Hulu, Netflix, and Spotify, we make sure that those apps are easy to load and use. User interface: We look for projectors with well-designed menus that allow us to set them up easily, switch between various inputs, and adjust settings.But if you’re using the projector outdoors where Wi-Fi streaming isn’t an option, you’re more likely to load a bunch of content onto a USB drive or connect your mobile device directly, and for that the GS2 has HDMI, USB-A, and USB-C inputs.

The drawbacks: The on-screen menu system is clunky, and the built-in Aptoide TV streaming platform is more limited and less intuitive than Android TV.

Because of its lower, 720p resolution and higher black level, movies don’t look as rich and detailed in a dark room as they do through the MoGo Pro, but the picture is certainly good enough for casual TV watching or the occasional outdoor viewing session. The sound quality is decent, and like the MoGo Pro, the GS2 can double as a Bluetooth speaker. This is one of the brightest projectors we’ve measured for this guide, and it also has the highest contrast ratio, the best color accuracy, and the longest battery life (we got about 3 hours 10 minutes in our tests).

If you’re looking for something more rugged to use outside, the BenQ GS2 is both splash and drop resistant, so it’s a good choice for camping or enjoying a backyard movie night when mated with a modest-size screen. The only downsides to this projector are that it’s not as bright as others we tested and that it currently does not support the Netflix app (but there are workarounds).

In addition, the MoGo Pro supports both Bluetooth output (to send audio to an external speaker or to headphones) and input (to serve as a Bluetooth speaker). The internal speaker sounds respectably loud and full. That means you don’t have to connect an external video player to enjoy lots of movies and other streamed content, though the unit has HDMI and USB Type-A inputs if you need them. Best of all, the MoGo Pro has Android TV with Chromecast and Google Assistant built in, so it’s basically a projector and a full-fledged streaming media player in one. Also, it’s easy to set up and use, it’s compact, and it has an internal battery that lasted about two hours in our tests (it also comes with an 8-foot power cord). This 1920×1080-resolution projector delivers a good-looking image with better contrast and detail (and more picture adjustments) than you can get from most of its competitors. The Xgimi MoGo Pro offers almost everything we could ask for in a portable movie projector.
