Grab a BIG price drop on our favorite portable gaming projector

Who doesn’t want to play PC games and watch movies on a bigger screen? If you’re looking to max out your gameplay but don’t want to pay a fortune, this gaming projector deal is worth exploring. Right now at Amazon, you can save a hefty 21% on the XGIMI Halo+, which boasts fantastic image quality, despite its compact size.

While the best gaming monitors give you stunning image quality and responsiveness, they’re confined to a desk. That’s where the best gaming monitors come in, offering a cinematic experience around the house.

Although portable projectors often struggle to match the performance of larger, dedicated units, we were impressed by the XGIMI Halo+ during testing and found it a genuinely fantastic option for playing the best PC games. Here, you’re getting the big-screen gaming experience, packed within a case you can carry around.

The Amazon deal knocks $165 off the XGIMI Halo+, taking the price to $634.97 from $799.99. This is marked as a limited-time deal, but we don’t know just how long Amazon will keep the cost low.

In our full XGIMI Halo+ review our seasoned hardware tester Zak tried the projector in several environments. “I used it against projection screens, on grey walls in my home, in the hallway, at work. You name it, I took it all over the place, to put that portability argument to the test.” He was also impressed by how bright and vibrant the colors were, and how accurate they were across various wall colors.

I love how compact the XGIMI Halo+ is, and at just 1.6kg it’s also light enough to carry around the house or take to a friend’s house in your bag. The setup is super quick, and as the projector has a built-in battery, you’re also not tied to being near a power outlet when you want to game or watch movies.

It’s well-designed as a portable option and stays cool thanks to a deceptively powerful rear exhaust fan. And, of course, the audio quality is also impressive, which is a real win for such a small device. The battery life is also solid, with the XGIMI Halo+ boasting 2.5 hours of total battery life on a full charge.

Admittedly, you only get one HDMI port, one USB 2.0 port, DC power in, and a 3.5mm audio out (which is ideal for headphone use), but even with this limited range, it’s still a pretty stellar design for a portable projector.

The response rate of the XGIMI Halo+ is a bit slower than specialist rivals from BenQ or the Acer Predator lineup, but its Game Mode Boost adds low latency down to 26.5ms. If you’re a hardcore or competitive gamer, this likely won’t be fast enough. But if you’re a casual player who wants the flexibility to play anywhere, the Halo+ is fast and furious enough.

If you want a portable projector to take your gameplay anywhere, we’d grab the XGIMI Halo+ from Amazon soon. The current saving of $165 takes it to the best price we’ve seen for a long time and makes it easily the best price at major retailers.
