Most people find that watching something outside quickly becomes a logistics issue before it turns into a movie night. The Aurzen Roku TV D1R Smart Portable Outdoor Projector helps eliminate that by powering via USB-C and embedding Roku TV in the housing. As long as you have a 65W power bank, your outdoor projector will keep running whether it’s on a picnic table or a camping chair, and it won’t require a nearby outlet. Since Roku TV is built into the projector, all your streaming apps are available directly on it, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to bring a streaming stick.

Head over to Amazon to get the Aurzen Roku TV D1R Smart Portable Outdoor Projector for just $140, down from its usual price of $200. That’s a $60 discount and 30% off.

An easy way to enjoy a movie outdoors at night

This unit is portable in a way nearly every other projector isn’t, thanks to its USB-C power. Almost all other projectors on the market require access to a wall outlet, which greatly restricts where you can use them. Being able to run off a 65W power bank gives you options like a backyard, a campsite, a garage, or even a hotel room where the only accessible outlet sits behind the bed.

Roku TV integrated into the projector also eliminates the need for an additional box and extra cable length. Along with paid streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video, all of these will be on the home screen once your setup is complete. Roku also offers several free live channels at no charge. Unlike almost all other portable projectors on the market, nothing is required to connect to the back of the unit, and nothing draws additional power. 

Unlike traditional portable projectors that require perfect positioning to get a proper image, the 180-degree gimbal lets you easily adjust the projected image from almost any location. If you’re projecting onto a ceiling from a nightstand, against a wall from a coffee table, or onto a bedsheet suspended between two trees, adjusting the direction is fast and easy. Instead of stacking books under one end of the projector to get the right angle, you simply rotate the entire housing until the image appears properly sized.

Native 1080p resolution combined with 300 ANSI lumens delivers a clear image as ambient light drops. As with all portable projectors, waiting for sunset is often necessary before displaying images on an exterior surface. Once it does, the resulting image stays sharp whether you’re projecting onto a wall, a screen, or another surface. While the built-in speakers provide adequate audio support, connecting to an external speaker via Bluetooth is worth doing if you want greater volume while viewing outdoors.

Setting up your new Aurzen Roku TV D1R Smart Portable Outdoor Projector uses the same user-friendly interface found in most Roku products. That simplicity means anyone in your household can set it up and operate it without instruction. Autofocus and keystone correction automatically fix misaligned projections, so you can start enjoying your movies without spending ten minutes adjusting settings while everyone waits. The included remote controls every aspect of operation and doesn’t require a smartphone app.
