New Product Comparison
A comparison of the three new models highlights their distinct features:
Elfin Flip 4K: The Series Flagship Model
Set for Makuake pre-sale from mid-April, the “Elfin Flip 4K” is the top-tier model in the series. It features a 150° rotatable gimbal-integrated structure, allowing for flexible placement and projection onto walls or ceilings. Its slim design enables it to fit neatly into bookshelves, seamlessly blending into everyday living spaces.
Equipped with Nichia Chemical’s latest generation 3-color laser (QuaLas® RGB series) and 0.98–1.3:1 optical zoom, it achieves 4K resolution with 1500 ISO lumens brightness and high installation flexibility. It also offers gaming performance with 1ms low latency, ALLM, and VRR support, along with Harman Kardon speakers, combining superior picture quality, sound, and operability. The operating system is Google TV.
Key Features of Elfin Flip 4K
-
Slim Design and High Installation Flexibility
The 150° rotatable gimbal-integrated structure allows for free placement and projection onto walls or ceilings, adapting to various lifestyles. Its slim profile ensures it can be stored neatly in limited spaces like bookshelves.
-
1500 ISO Lumens Brightness
The projector delivers clear images even in bright daytime environments.
-
Optical Zoom Capability
Supporting 0.98–1.3:1 optical zoom, it allows for projection size adjustment without compromising image quality. This enables large-screen projection from shorter throw distances in compact spaces. The Elfin Flip 4K can project a 100-inch screen from approximately 2.17m (whereas typical long-throw lenses require about 2.8m). This ensures a big-screen experience without sacrificing quality in limited spaces.

Nichia Chemical’s Latest Generation 3-color Laser (QuaLas® RGB series)
The incorporation of Nichia Chemical’s latest generation 3-color laser establishes a foundation for high image quality from the light source level, achieving high brightness, color reproducibility, and stability.
-
Low Latency and Gaming Performance
The projector is suitable for gaming, offering 1ms low latency in addition to ALLM and VRR support. This provides smooth, tear-free visuals for an immersive large-screen gaming experience.
-
Harman Kardon Speakers
Despite its slim and lightweight body, it integrates Harman Kardon speakers, covering an entire room with ample volume. It supports Dolby Audio and Dolby Digital Plus decoding, delivering depth and three-dimensionality to sound, allowing for high-quality movie viewing without external speakers.

Enhanced Smart Experience
The projector includes advanced features such as automatic keystone correction, autofocus, automatic obstacle avoidance, automatic screen adjustment, wall color adaptation, and eye protection.
