NexiGo Nova Mini

The NexiGo Nova Mini was bright, for a portable projector, had good contrast, for a portable projector, and had the best picture quality of these portable projectors. It’s currently on sale for $599, which is a reasonable price for this level of performance but while I appreciate that it maintained 100% of its brightness on battery and that the dynamic dimming system made it considerably more efficient, the speakers are not great, which seems like a big miss for a portable system. It seems like the Nova Mini would be better suited for a semi-permanent setup with a separate speaker system, which actually based on NexiGo’s marketing might have been its intended use case anyways. Aside from used and discontinued projectors, the Nova Mini is probably the best projector performance you can currently get around that $600 price point.
