Our Verdict

XGIMI HORIZON

XGIMI MoGo 4

The XGIMI HORIZON is much better than the XGIMI MoGo 4 for picture quality. It's far brighter, with better contrast and a slightly wider color gamut. However, it's bigger and lacks a battery, so it's less portable. The MoGo 4 wins for grab-and-go use with its built-in battery and compact size.
