Our Verdict
XGIMI HORIZON
XGIMI Elfin
The XGIMI HORIZON and XGIMI Elfin serve different purposes, with the Elfin being much more portable due to its size and weight, although the HORIZON can also be moved around easily if need be. The HORIZON is much brighter, so it can handle a few lights in the room. Unfortunately, the HORIZON is also wildly inaccurate out-of-the-box and doesn't have the required calibration options to make its image accurate.
