Elgato has expanded its teleprompter lineup with the Prompter XL, featuring a larger 15.6-inch screen at 1080p resolution compared to the original's 9-inch display. While the hardware earns exceptional marks, the software prevents a perfect 5-star rating, leaving it at 4 stars for now. The XL weighs 6.6 pounds, making it a studio-focused system rather than portable.

The new model introduces detachable components with magnetic attachment for both the monitor and glass reflector, allowing for easier cleaning and use as a secondary display. The addition of a power switch is a welcome improvement over the original, which required cable disconnection to turn off. These physical changes make the XL more versatile for content creators.

Elgato's software remains the only drawback, sometimes requiring multiple restarts to function properly. Despite this issue, the $600 Prompter XL stands as the definitive teleprompter for Apple users willing to invest in quality hardware. The original $300 model remains available for those with different needs or budgets.
