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

Poll: Have you ever traveled with your portable projector?

If it feels like you’ve seen more ads for pocket-, backpack-, and even can-sized projectors lately, you’re not imagining it. Once a novelty, small form beamers are carving out a solid place in the mainstream market. Part of the appeal is obvious: today’s portable projectors aren’t the dim, clunky boxes you may remember from your school library. Brands are cranking out units with higher resolutions (even 4K), laser and LED light sources, and wireless smarts that make setup simple. Meanwhile, aut

Best Portable Projector for Movies and Gaming Anywhere in 2025

How portable do you really need? Pretty much every projector is "portable" to some degree. Many of the projectors on the best projector list, for example, are small enough to fit in a backpack. They might fill that backpack, but that's their size. If you just want something for the occasional movie night, one of those would be significantly brighter and create a better image. Generally speaking, the smaller the projector, the dimmer it is. How much battery do you need? Most portable projectors

5 reasons I still use a projector even though I already own a big TV

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I live with a fairly large TV, the consequence of sharing a space with someone who watches a lot of sports. It’s bright, sharp, and reliably front-and-center in our living room. But after testing a handful of projectors for work, I started to wonder whether they still make sense in homes that already have TVs (especially big ones). At least in my case, the answer is yes. I still reach for mine as a flexible, portable option when a traditional TV doesn’t quite
