The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector is a portable mini projector with Roku streaming built directly into the device. Most budget projectors require you to plug in a separate Roku stick, Fire TV, or Apple TV to actually watch anything, then juggle two remotes. This one runs the Roku interface natively, so the projector boots up to the same home screen you’d see on any Roku TV, with Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, YouTube, and the rest of the major streaming apps preinstalled and ready to launch from the included Roku voice remote.
The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector is on sale at Amazon for $120, marked down from the $200 list. That’s $80 off, working out to a 40 percent discount.
Watch your favorite shows and movies in large and in charge glory
The picture quality on this projector can reach 1080p Full HD. It also comes with Dolby Audio sound and an optically sealed design that helps keep dust from entering the camera’s imaging chip and lens assembly. The automatic focus and keystone correction do all the setting-up for you. What once took ten minutes of messing around with manual settings now takes just a few seconds. Just point the projector at a wall, and it will automatically adjust the focus and correct trapezoidal distortion. There is also a manual zoom feature that lets you adjust the image size without moving the projector. Depending on where you place the projector, the projected image can range from 30 inches to over 100 inches wide.
Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are supported on this projector. The Wi-Fi connection allows direct access to many popular streaming applications. Bluetooth connectivity lets you connect to a wireless speaker, soundbar, or a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones. This way, if you plan on watching movies late at night, you won’t wake up anyone else in the house. A standard HDMI input on the projector’s back provides a connection for a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, Blu-ray player, or laptop when you want to watch something not available in the Roku app store.
The cube form factor is compact enough to fit in a backpack for camping trips, sleepovers, or outdoor movie nights. Power runs through a standard wall plug, and the projector boots from cold to a streaming home screen in under 30 seconds. The Roku remote handles voice search across every streaming service installed and includes direct-launch buttons for the most-used apps. The whole package weighs about a pound and a half, light enough to mount on a tripod or set on a coffee table for a Friday night movie.
The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector normally lists at $200, and right now it’s $120. The price covers the projector, the Roku voice remote, the wall adapter, and the streaming software already activated and ready to use right out of the box, which makes it a strong all-in-one option for anyone setting up a first home theater or looking for a portable backyard setup for the summer.
