If you’ve been thinking about investing in a new (affordable) TV to upgrade all your binge-watching, you might instead want to seriously consider this tiny, portable projector that users say is no less than a “revolutionary product.” The gadget from Anker — a Strategist-approved brand that makes some of our (and cool people’s) favorite tech accessories — is the size of a soda can but can display your favorite movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos at up to 100 inches (for contrast, the largest screens on our list of expert-recommended cheap TVs are 65 inches). It’s HDMI- and USB-compatible; can also stream via Airplay, Miracast, or Bluetooth; and, by downloading a dedicated app, you can also stream from Netflix and Hulu. The projector, which has a built-in 360-degree speaker, works as well indoors as it does outside, meaning all you need is a bare wall and a good patio chair for an al-fresco movie night. On sale for more than 20 percent off, its price drops to $222 — which, while still expensive, is the cheapest we’ve ever seen it. Yes, you can find full-size projectors for about the same price (or cheaper), but none are as portable or convenient as this guy.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
