Our Verdict

LG CineBeam PF50KA

XGIMI Halo+

The XGIMI Halo+ is far better than the LG CineBeam PF50KA. The XGIMI is even more portable due to its full suite of image correction features while being noticeably brighter. The XGIMI projector also has better contrast than the LG, making it the better choice for any room condition.
