The current global pandemic has seen a shift in how some of us do our jobs, setting up in the spare room instead of going to the office. Epson has launched a new projector that's ready when you need to work, or when you need to grab some downtime.

Earlier in the year we got to take Xgimi's Halo portable all-in-one projector for review, and were mighty impressed by what it offered. Now the company has announced a new flavor that promises easier setup, a brighter throw and more features.

Many of the projectors released by Xgimi have been somewhat blocky units that stand out, rather than blend in. For its latest multimedia model, the company has opted for a compact, stylish design for the bedroom, living room or even the boardroom.

Back in April, China's JMGO partnered with Leica for the optics of its upcoming O1 Pro ultra-short-throw LED projector. Details were somewhat lacking, but with the launch of the Indiegogo funding campaign we can now fill in some of the blanks.

XGimi promises its Halo throws "the sharpest picture you will ever see from a portable projector" – and while that may be optimistic, it impressed us with crisp 1080p visuals, voice-controlled Android TV, and a capable Harman Kardon audio system.

Leica has announced the fruit of a partnership with Chinese home entertainment hardware company JMGO, the O1 Pro ultra-short-throw LED projector, which can fill a wall with Full HD images from just inches away.

China's Xgimi says that it's building on the success of its portable MoGo Pro DLP projector and sound system with the launch of two new flagship models, the Horizon and Horizon Pro all-in-one entertainment systems.

California's ViewSonic has launched a new 1080p portable projector that uses a technique called time of flight ranging to quickly measure the distance to the wall and achieve sharp focus in just one second.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into 2021, returning to normal office working is looking less and less likely in the short term. For those looking to go big and bright in the home office, Epson has launched three new business projectors.

Razer has stepped outside of the gaming arena for its latest 13-inch portable powerhouse, to focus on the "go-getters, side-hustlers, and spirited entrepreneurs of today’s mobile world."

Canon has announced the ML-100 and ML-105 multi-purpose, full-frame industrial cameras with ultra-low light sensitivity equivalent to an ISO of 4.5 million, meaning that they will be able to record Full HD color video under a moonless night sky.

If you like the idea of wall-filling movie watching, but find the price tags that come with 4K laser projectors are beyond your budget, Epson has announced a bunch of 1080p Home Cinema projectors for under a thousand bucks.
