it's just a pocket size 1080P projector with 4 hours of battery and also Harman Kardon speakers.
Good price for that model, sells HK $8000 in HK, around AU $1400
now half price at $650 with eBay Plus.
300 ansi is a minus, not bright enough for outdoor use.
200 units in total.
with Android TV, not some scary customised system, so pretty handy.
This or Nebula Capsule II?
This. Nebula Capsule II has a native res of 854 x 480. This is 1080p.
The native resolution of the DMD inside the Mogo Pro is 540p but it uses pixel shifting to achieve 1080p
How on earth is it getting a decent image/worth that much if it's 540p!?
@Ebaygiftcards: That's my point, it's not even native 720p, let alone 1080p.
An image blown up like that is never going to look right.
Just IMHO, nothing more to see here.
$649 seems to be normal price
I think it's below normal price, since in Australia you don't have much options

AU$695

Non Pro: AU$626.05 plus AU$2.64 shipping
I don't think the Banggood link is the "Pro" version.
The tobydeaslau link you can use the Discount code (CART3) and it reduces the price to $674.15.
Does the tobydealsau site require you to pay 10%GST or is the AU$695 price inclusive of GST!!??
@PukeyLuke: No, Tobydealsau won’t require you to pay extra 10% on top for GST. It’s inclusive.
Banggood on the other hand they may charge at checkout, or there’s a chance it needs to be paid to the courier company before delivery (in some cases the courier company may forget to check and you don’t have to pay).
I have non pro version and been using it for few months, very happy with the performance and sound and android tv
Only negative is that it's useless during day (even if you have a blinds etc), at night it's perfect.
Other benefits are being portable and built in battery.
Not sure if the price is amazing but product sure is well built.
PS: Netflix native support is not yet available (sideload works fine)
Hey mate, mind checking out my question directly below? I realise yours is the non pro.
Thanks
My usage is limited to night time (dawn/dusk sometimes) and project image is usually over 100inch size.
I can see pixels if I am standing close the image (or pay particular attention). My current set up is such that I am viewing from good 4-5 meters from the image so I don't actually see the pixels (its still there but I don't notice it). I know picture quality is not that great (for reference, I use the LG CX in my living room) but good enough for my usage.
I also project image straight on to the wall and it serves me well.
I would not buy this to put into a dedicated theatre room (its not bright enough for day time usage nor is the image quality for such usage).
Anyone have any idea how 1080p looks when blown up?
Also related, how strong is the bulb within this? Like how far back can I get without losing colour /quality Equivalent of 70 inches…. 100?
300 ansi lumen, so it's pretty dim, also 55 Walts of power only.

this looks like a better option with 500 ANSI
I been thinking to buy this.
if you're looking at one without portability/battery powered, maybe consider epson tw5600 usually 700+ when on sale
Better specs but it does lack horizontal keystone correction
Yes I can vouch for Xiaomi Mijia Youth Version. However there is V2 coming out with horizontal keystone which would be a significant feature.
I love my Xiaomi Projector, quality is excellent I use it 3.5 metres to get 120+ inch display and it feels like a cinema! Speakers on this one is excellent too. 500ANSI is good for dark room but like others have noted its not very usable in daytime. With blinds its good though.
For the price and the quality I think Xiaomi is a no brainer. Global version is excellent.
Also curious. We have a purpose built theatre room and recently purchased a cheap 75in TV but I am still curious as to how this could fair for a few hundred less.
no contest , but the upsize makes up the viewing experience
If you have built in a theatre room then why not 4K 😉
It was more a curiosity thing.
Now we have the 4k smart TV it's ample. Plus give off more brightness than other projector ever will
I had the Mogo first. I found it too dim and the pixels were very obvious. Image isn’t very sharp, especially when there’s text involved. I found max projection size to be about 80”. Any larger and the image becomes too dim and blurry.
Sold that and bought the Mogo Pro. The extra 50 ANSI Lumens did make a small difference to brightness, but the image a lot sharper. Night and day difference to the Mogo. I found optimal projection size to be about 100”.
Sold the Mogo Pro and bought the XGIMI Halo. Very bright at 600-800 ANSI Lumens and image is super crispy. Could project 120”-150” without any issues. Excellent portable projector and the one I would recommend. The biggest downside is the price as it’s around $1.2k.
Please note that for these projectors, they need to be used in a dark room with no ambient lighting.
Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Very helpful. May need to go with the Halo when it goes in sale aye…
Out of curiosity, anyone know how many lumens is required for comfortable viewing in a dim room (say on an overcast day)…
Or for that matter if I were to want to go all out and buy an expensive projector vs a new TV. how many is needed to watch as normal in a well lit room - is this even achievable with a projector?
I think that would depend on the size of the image you want to project. But the image quality of a projector would always be inferior to a TV in a lit room, regardless of the number of ANSI Lumens you throw at it. It’ll look washed out, even with only a small amount of light in the room.
Also ANSI Lumens is not the same as Lumens.
Yes it has better specs. But it’s not the English global version with Android TV
Bought one. Just wanted to project to ceiling so I can lay on bed and watch movies all night. Yes, I know I'm very lazy!
Netflix and chill it is
Unfortunately mogo pro doesn’t have native Netflix.
Hmm I don’t watch netlix anyway
I have heard you can sideload it in.
Have you considered something like an Oculus Go/Quest? Have native Netflix and Skybox, you can lye on your side, back and the image is pretty good and big.
Haven't really looked into Oculus products as I already have PSVR. Does it have build in system or do I need to have a computer beside the bed to pick it into? Is it comfortable to use with glasses and how is the resolution and contrast?
No computer. Has an insert for glasses which pushes it out.
Just put it on your head choose your media and watch it.
All wireless.
Skybox is also DLNA aware so you can stream from your NAS.

Netflix is like watching it in a mountain mansion with ~85" screen, or go dark and increase the screen size.
50% discount is misleading as it’s rrp is not $1400
It's probably best to wait for price reduction and or global version of Xiaomi Mijia Projector 2 Pro
