Welcome to the Age of Ultra-Cheap, Ad-Filled Projectors

With all the Roku-native TVs crowding the market, the company behind today’s popular streaming platform wants to project a new kind of cheap option for streaming. Roku partnered up with Aurzen, the makers of the $300 Z-shaped Aurzen Zip mini projector, and now they have a full $250 cinema you can set up for quick and dirty Netflix or Howdy (Roku’s $3/month ad-free streaming service) and chill sessions on your bedroom wall—as long as you’re not expecting the brightest display. Take a breath and

The first Roku-powered smart projector is here

Folks in the US can now snap up the first smart projector that's powered by Roku tech. The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector D1R Cube is available on Amazon for a regular price of $250. Until October 1, though, there's a coupon that drops the price to $180 (a discount of $70). There was a Roku-branded 3M projector that arrived all the way back in 2012 , but that required a Roku Streaming Stick. The new Aurzen model has Roku's operating system built in.

My art skills peaked in kindergarten but my portable projector had me covered

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority To set the stage, my artistic ability falls somewhere between a toddler with a crayon and the least helpful player on your Pictionary team. So when faced with the prospect of hand-painting a birthday banner, I was dubious, though still committed. Like any modern adult, I turned to tech, and while projectors may not have been designed for amateur crafters, they’re surprisingly perfect for the job.

You are rapidly running out of reasons to not get yourself a projector

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority I feel like a lot of people follow a similar journey when it comes to projectors. They’re initially wowed by the allure of a giant picture, bringing the cinema experience home. And maybe they’re also intrigued by the flexibility of being able to set things up at a moment’s notice wherever there’s a blank wall. But then the reality of the tech quickly sets in. For all the promise they offer, projectors have been plagued since day one by compromise after compr

Valerion launches new premium projector with anti-rainbow effect technology

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Valerion is formally announcing its new premium projector, the VisionMaster Max, at IFA 2025. The boxy little projector offers improved contrast and brightness, but the feature that should be most interesting to home theater aficionados is how it tries to address the "rainbow effect" common in some cheaper projectors. Cheaper DLP projectors sometimes display stuttery strobes of color when the projector's color wheel is forced to quickly shift between col

Anker's Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro is the ultimate party projector

Anker took it's excellent Nebula X1 projector and said, "what if that but louder?" The result is the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro that marries Anker's 4K, 3,500 lumen Google TV projector with a 160W Soundcore speaker, offering what should be an incredible outdoor entertainment machine. Marrying these products wasn't just a matter of jamming them into the same box. The subwoofer was set up to float inside the assembly on a spring-type system to avoid vibrating the laser-powered 4K video. And to get s

Anker’s Mammoth Projector Is Now So Big You Should Just Call It R2-D2

I was already impressed enough with Anker’s SoundCore Nebula X1 projector when I saw it back in April. We all dream of having our own full theater in our homes, or at least something transportable enough that we could hang a bedsheet in our backyard and pretend we’re at the cinema. It was one of the first projectors with its own internal liquid cooling system to keep it from overheating. Then came along the Nebula X1 Pro, a projector so big it could be a Star Wars droid that’s large enough to pa

I’m really impressed with this $400 portable projector

I recently moved to a new apartment, and unfortunately, the television didn’t make the cut during the amicable roommate split. While my studio isn’t as cramped as my previous living situations, fitting a bulky TV into the living area still felt impractical to me. In my search for a suitable alternative, a startup called Lumi Labs reached out about testing its new portable projector, the Lumi Max.
