Final Verdict
Both deliver smart 4K without a dedicated theater room, but they solve different problems. The CineBeam Q is the design object: true 4K detail from a strikingly small body with auto screen adjustment and webOS built in — perfect for bedrooms, rentals, and anyone who wants the projector to disappear when not in use. The Cosmos 4K SE is the home base: much brighter, with Dolby Vision and Google TV, built to be the main screen in a real living room. Dark room and portability: CineBeam Q. Primary family-room display: Cosmos 4K SE.
