About this deal
We did spot some rainbow haloing around brighter objects when they move, which often occurs with projector that use DLP technology, but it’s nothing too distracting. The matrix of the DLP chip is only visible in the projected image once you get really closeup to the picture, and then only for larger images – this can’t be seen at all when at a standard viewing distance. The display of third-party trademarks and trade names on this site does not necessarily indicate any affiliation or the endorsement of PCMag. I’ve seen some reviews stating that focus can slip over time due heat from the unit, meaning you need to adjust it yourself.
The Elfin’s speakers aren’t necessarily quiet, and you can still fill a room with sound, but they lack the ability to really push lower-end frequencies.Both projectors are small and portable, with both weighing between 2 and 3 lbs all in with the power cords and remotes.
A black and white minimalist square slab with no protrusions and tastefully curved corners, it weighs in at under a kilo and measures less than 20cm on its longest edge.The keystone correction, especially, is robust and effective – better than those on other portable projectors I’ve tested.
