Best Overall
Aurzen Roku TV D1R Smart Portable Outdoor Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth
Our verdict: The only pick with a licensed streaming platform, so the apps you see are the apps that work.
The D1R runs Roku, which means the home screen, app store and updates come from a company that maintains them for a living. Aurzen lists Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and positions it as a portable unit you can take outdoors.
It wins over the YGSKK because a projector is used through its interface far more than through its lens. A named platform with all the top streaming apps removes the biggest failure point in this price group. You pay for that, since it sits in the $100 to $200 bucket, well above the budget minis.
Buy it if you want a projector that behaves like a TV stick on a wall. The caveat is that Roku needs an account and an internet connection, so it is no use as a standalone offline player on a camping trip without a hotspot.
