The Xgimi Elfin is a low profile projector for the masses
You should buy this if …
- You are looking for a travel projector
- You need a projector for a second room
- You want something unobtrusive
You shouldn’t buy this if…
- You need a battery in your portable projector
- You want something bright in your main living room
The Elfin has a lot of great points to recommend as a secondary device in your home. If you travel a lot and would like a projector to take with you to the hotel instead of those tiny TVs, or you want to set your child up with a projector in their bedroom, then the Elfin is likely a great choice.
If you are looking for something with a lot of brightness or many ports, then the elfin isn’t going to work for you. You’ll be better off with a bigger, more powerful setup like the Xgimi Horizon.
While the Elfin isn’t the ideal projector for me, it certainly ticks a lot of boxes for a device for my family. I need something that will play my Xbox at full brightness and let me plug in multiple devices, including my speakers, but my daughter just wants a small pretty box that will play Bluey in the bedroom for her — she’s only 3 don’t judge her.
My wife and I also really like it outside in the cozy theater we have in our backyard. It’s small enough to sit on a Manfrotto tripod, and because of the AI smarts, it can be set over to one side instead of right in front of us. It can also automatically adjust to fit the projector screen we bought, so more cutting off the edges of a movie. It may not be the exact thing I was looking for, but it has filled a need I didn’t know I had.
