Final Verdict
The Halo remains the brighter 1080p portable with a big proven review base. The MoGo 4 is newer, smaller, cheaper, and smarter (Google TV, PowerBase stand) but gives up some brightness. For backyard movie nights where every lumen counts, Halo; for travel, bedrooms and gifting, the MoGo 4 is the easier machine to live with.
