Our Verdict

LG CineBeam PF50KA

XGIMI MoGo 2

The XGIMI MoGo 2 is better than the LG CineBeam PF50KA. The XGIMI is even easier to move around due to its full suite of image correction features. Unfortunately, unlike the LG, it doesn't have an integrated battery, so you must plug it into an outlet or external battery pack. The XGIMI only projectors images in 720p, so the LG is sharper overall due to its 1080p image. Still, the XGIMI is brighter, has better contrast, and is much more accurate, giving it a better, if softer, image overall.
