The native 1080p display delivers a great picture. When the built-in speakers aren’t enough, you can use Bluetooth to connect your portable projector to a speaker or soundbar. The unit is also compact enough to take to the backyard or camping.

A projector you can set down almost anywhere

This outdoor capability comes directly from how the lens flips. Most portable projectors are flat, so you have to stack something like books on the back of the projector to hit the right viewing angle. This unit lets you flip the lens so that you can shoot straight at the ceiling from a nightstand, straight at a wall from a coffee table, or even hang a white sheet between two trees and then use the projector to show a video. You can make adjustments quickly, with no need for stacks of makeshift supports.

Glass is better than plastic for optical quality. Cheaply made projectors may use plastic lenses that bend toward the outer edge of the screen and lose clarity as they heat up during a long movie. Glass lenses stay focused from start to finish and retain clarity across the entire picture area, edges included.

Native means the projector shows a true 1080p high-definition picture instead of taking something and scaling it down to fit a cheaply made projector’s screen. Your text will remain legible from side to side. Actors’ faces will maintain their detail when zoomed in. And movies will look like they were intended to look, not fuzzy around the edges like most other cheap projectors advertise they can.

Battery power eliminates cords altogether. That means you can now watch videos in your backyard, at a campsite, in a garage, or even a hotel room if there’s just one outlet available but it sits behind the bed. Nothing has to cross the yard for someone to stumble over.

Built-in autofocus and keystone correction let you point the projector at a surface and let it adjust automatically, so you don’t have to spend ten minutes adjusting before everyone gets bored waiting for the movie to begin. After you move the projector halfway through watching a video, you won’t have to readjust everything again because the correction continues to adjust the image until it matches whatever surface you’re projecting onto. When you prefer not to pair anything via Bluetooth, built-in speakers provide sufficient audio.
