Buying guide

What actually matters when you buy a portable projector

Lumens on the box rarely match real-room brightness

Manufacturer lumen ratings are measured under ideal lab conditions. A dim living room with some ambient light needs more real brightness than the spec sheet implies.

Native resolution beats 'supports 4K input'

A projector that only accepts a 4K signal but displays at a lower native resolution is not actually showing 4K detail. Check the native resolution, not just the input spec.

Keystone correction fixes geometry, not focus

Auto keystone squares off a picture projected at an angle, but a soft, out-of-focus image still needs manual focus adjustment. The two problems are unrelated.

Built-in speakers are a backup, not the plan

Even projectors with 'home theater audio' branding usually have small internal speakers. Budget for an external speaker or soundbar if the room is bigger than a bedroom.
