NexiGo lists 800 ANSI lumens and native 1080p for the PJ40 Pro. Elephas lists "4K supported" for its Smart 4K and does not state a brightness or native resolution in the text we read, so the two cannot be compared on those figures. We have not measured either.

Heads up: some links here pay us. If you buy through an EcoFlow or eufy link we may earn a commission, at no cost to you (that's Awin, in some countries). Amazon and other shop links pay us nothing right now. I haven't tested these products myself unless the page says so; the picks come from the specs and listings, and I'll tell you when I'm not sure.
