Why We Like It
Portable projectors have become sharp and affordable. Room darkness and screen distance matter more than the headline resolution, so set your expectations to your space. A 100-inch picture for a fraction of the TV price. Easy to move between rooms or take outside.
What It Does
Turn any blank wall into a movie night. When you shop for one, focus on native 1080p brightness (ANSI lumens), not the “supported” resolution, autofocus and keystone correction and hDMI plus wireless casting.
Pros
- Huge picture on a small budget
- Portable
- Great for movie nights and gaming
Cons
- Needs a dim room for the best picture
- Built-in speakers are basic
Who Should Buy It?
Renters, small-space movie fans and anyone who wants a big screen without a big TV.
Who Should Skip It?
Skip it if needs a dim room for the best picture is a dealbreaker for you, or if built-in speakers are basic would bother you day to day.
