Our Verdict

Epson Home Cinema 1080

XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro

The Epson Home Cinema 1080 is much better than the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro, but the Epson is a much bigger unit and doesn't serve the same purpose as the small and light XGIMI. Still, the Epson projects a vastly brighter and more accurate image than the XGIMI. Even though the XGIMI has better contrast, the vibrancy of the Epson is more important for a satisfying image. The XGIMI does have more smart features than the Epson, as the Epson only comes with Wi-Fi 5 and Miracast, while the XGIMI has the Android TV 11.0 smart OS with Chromecast, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 support, and an ARC port for audio passthrough.
