Our Verdict
ViewSonic PX701-4K
XGIMI Elfin
The ViewSonic PX701-4K is better than the XGIMI Elfin, although the XGIMI is smaller and has significantly more features than the ViewSonic. However, the ViewSonic projector is particularly interesting to gamers, as it has 1080p @ 240Hz support. The ViewSonic is also significantly brighter and has slightly better contrast, but it has truly terrible colors. The XGIMI is dimmer but doesn't have the ViewSonic issues with colors. It's much smaller, more portable, and has a smart interface with full Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.
