Looking to give a more immersive, theater-like experience to your movie nights? There's no simpler way than with a great projector. Take it with you on weekend trips or keep it in your living room for the perfect at-home film lover's solution. No matter what your lifestyle, there is one for every need.
Take a second to appreciate how cute this little bugger is. Topping out at the size of your soda can, it is the paragon of portable projectors. Anker is well respected within the tech field, particularly for its headphones and speakers, and this projector is no different. PC Mag praised the speakers, claiming that its audio is high quality and loud.
If you're looking for a projector that won't break the bank or take up too much space in your home, you can’t go wrong with the QKK mini projector. Bringing the best light, color, and detail to your watching experience, it boasts screen sizes up to 120 inches, and its 4,500 lumens (which is really bright) keeps the picture looking sharp even in ambient light. Best of all, it comes with an included screen, making this a package deal you won't want to miss out on.
For the ultimate portable projector, opt for one that can do everything (even 3D!) like the VANKYO Leisure 430. It offers 3D playback capabilities, 1,080p definition for a lower price than most and has a low lag time, ideal for gamers. If screen size is your biggest concern, it will not disappoint, since its capable of a maximum 236-inch screen in a dark room and 120 inches in ambient light.
For an affordable option that cuts down on price without cutting out premium features, the GooDee is the perfect solution. With a 1080p HD resolution and state of the art cooling system that ensures it will never overheat, this projector is super versatile and durable. Many port options also allow you to hook up just about everything from your phone to your Fire Stick.
A voice-activated projector can be super useful when you are sitting in the dark with hands covered in buttery popcorn. Besides this projector’s useful addition of Alexa connection, the Optoma also performs incredibly well. It projects with 4k quality for screens up to 140 inches in size. While you can watch with some light, it will have its best quality in a dark room.
If image quality is your primary concern, you can’t go wrong with a laser projector. They are able to bring in the best light, color, and detail to your watching experience. At under $2,000, this LG is also super reasonably priced in the laser projector world. It boasts screen sizes up to 120 inches, and its 1,500 lumens (which is really bright) keeps the picture looking sharp even in ambient light.
While some other projectors have 3D movie capabilities, the PowerLite Home Cinema is the top-of-the-line when it comes to this feature. It offers 1,080p definition for a lower price than most and has a low lag time, ideal for gamers. If screen size is your biggest concern, it will not disappoint, since its capable of a maximum 248-inch screen in a dark room and 120 inches in ambient light.
Want to really feel like the most tech-savvy kid on the block? This projector really does slip right into a pocket and will wirelessly connect to a range of devices for quick and easy watching anywhere you like.
