Final Verdict
NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3) takes it
The NexiGo PJ40 Gen 3 lists more brightness for $59 less, but it has no smart OS, so add the cost of a streaming stick. The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro lists Google TV, auto setup and an adjustable angle in a smaller package. If you want one box with nothing else to buy, XGIMI; if brightness per dollar matters most, NexiGo. NexiGo's newer PJ40 Pro adds Google TV at the same $299.99 and is worth comparing. We have not tested either projector.
