On the downside, this projector tops out at 480p, and the keystone adjustment tends to be glitchy. Overall the projector gets high marks for design because of its clean look and built-in kickstand. When open, the stand can point the projector where it needs to go. The stand that is built into the projector swings up to protect the projector lens when it’s closed. The ViewSonic M1 smart projector is one of our favorite projectors on this list because of its self-contained versatility. You can also control it using Google Assistant or via a smartphone app (or the supplied remote).

SMALL PROJECTOR PORTABLE
When considering mini projectors, portability is one of the prime considerations, and when it comes to portability, being the size of a soda can is about as portable as you can get (especially as most bags and backpacks have pockets designed for carrying drink-sized items). Any one of these could be your favorite travel companion. They vary considerably in size, brightness, features, and performance. The projectors we highlight here are relatively lightweight, with the heaviest weighing just more than 2 pounds and the lightest right around 3 ounces.
SMALL PROJECTOR MOVIE
Whether you’re looking to have an outdoor movie night, need a new presentation tool for work, a portable display for gaming on your garage door, or want a portable home theater set-up, there’s a projector here for you. Plus, they pack enough battery life to get through a two-hour movie, while still being small enough to toss into a bag. Our picks are lightweight, super portable, and easy to use on the go. To determine the best mini projectors worth buying, we thoroughly scrutinized their designs, ease of use, durability, picture quality, speaker quality, and battery life. We spent 50-plus hours researching the best mini projectors on the market, comparing specs and features, and reading consumer and editorial reviews of all our picks. If you don’t want to be tethered to an outlet, opt for a model that comes with a battery sufficient for your showings. However, projector battery life can vary widely, with some offering barely enough for a full-length flick and others providing hours of entertainment.
SMALL PROJECTOR 480P
Unfortunately, these projectors usually have, at best, a 480p standard-definition resolution and very low light output (under 200 ANSI lumens), so they can’t deliver a truly satisfying big-screen movie image.īattery: Some portable projectors come with an internal battery for on-the-go convenience. You can find a ton of super-cheap, super-tiny projectors, many costing less than $200. Picture quality: A good portable movie projector should be able to produce a reasonably bright, high-definition image. Depending on the projector, you may need to adjust where you place it in your room or home theater to move it closer to a power source.
SMALL PROJECTOR BLUETOOTH
Mount: Where are you going to watch a movie or show with the projector? Think about where you’re going to put your projector, and make sure there’s a clear, unobstructed line from the projector to the wall or screen.Ĭonnectivity: We’ve included a range of mini projectors in this guide, from wired models that require a power source, to wireless projectors that feature HDMI connections and Bluetooth connectivity.

A carrying handle or included travel case is a big plus. We require all the projectors we consider to be at least small and light enough to carry between rooms and to put in a backpack or suitcase.

Some portable models lack a battery but can run on a portable USB-C power bank, which is almost as good. Portability: We give strong preference to projectors that can run on battery power, although we are willing to consider models that omit this feature if they seem particularly strong in other areas. Here’s what we looked at when researching this buying guide. How much space do you have? Are you going to mount your projector or put it on a bookshelf? Can you connect a speaker to the projector? These are just a few of the most important questions to ask when you’re choosing the best new mini projector for your home theater.
