Wemax Dice: Similar to our top pick in many ways, the Dice is a 1080p LED projector with fully integrated Android TV (no direct Netflix app), the same connection options, and Bluetooth—but it is more than twice as bright. The setup process and onscreen user interface are basically identical in the two projectors, but the Dice’s remote is less user-friendly: It puts tiny black buttons on a non-backlit, black background, and it lacks the input and settings buttons you get on the Xgimi remote, so it takes more steps than we’d like to change sources and adjust the picture and sound settings. The Dice is larger than the MoGo Pro but has a longer battery life of three hours in the dimmest Eco mode. The picture quality is a mixed bag: The image is very bright (when the projector is plugged in), has good overall contrast, and looks sharp and detailed. But if you care about color accuracy, you may be distracted by the too-blue color temperature, the exaggerated colors (especially green), and the tendency for lighter skintones to look sunburned. Within the Android TV interface, you can make a few picture adjustments that help a little, but you can’t adjust the HDMI input at all—and we also got some handshake issues via HDMI. At the Dice’s normal asking price of $700, these flaws are hard to overlook. In that price range, Xgimi’s Elfin and Halo+ are better Android TV alternatives that are similarly bright. But the Dice does go on sale a lot, and at $500 to $550 this projector is a little more compelling as an alternative to the MoGo Pro, if you value brightness over accuracy.
