Best Overall
A well connected home projector with two HDMI inputs, ARC for a soundbar and built in apps. Brightness suits a dim room, and the remote batteries and carry case are not included.
Popular PickA simple Roku projector for families who want streaming apps and AirPlay on a big wall with almost no setup. Brightness is not stated, so plan on a dark room, and the remote batteries and HDMI cable are extra.


A well-reviewed smart projector for the price, with genuinely useful auto focus and built-in streaming, though a handful of streaming apps can be inconsistent inside the built-in store.

A budget projector that multiple reviewers rate well above its price for picture quality and setup ease, with a real risk of dust spots inside the unit for some buyers.

A light full HD mini projector with Google TV apps and voice control, for movie nights in dark rooms. Brightness is modest, and the listing has no feature bullets.

GooDee packs licensed streaming apps, auto focus and keystone into a portable full HD projector for home movie nights. Brightness is not stated anywhere in the listing.

A workable dark-room movie projector for the price, better paired with your own streaming stick since phone-mirrored apps like Netflix were unreliable for at least one reviewer.

A native 1080p Bluetooth projector sold without a built-in Google TV system, so streaming comes from whatever stick or phone you plug into it rather than a built-in interface.

A projector that earns its praise mainly through autofocus and picture clarity, with the built-in streaming apps as its weakest link.

A 4K UHD-supported smart projector running Google TV with Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube built in, suited to buyers who want streaming without a separate streaming stick.

A convenient bundled streaming projector that punches above its price on brightness and setup, as long as you treat the 4K label as upscaled 1080p.

A 2.4 pound portable smart projector with autofocus, auto keystone, HDR10+ and dual 50W Dolby speakers, running a native 1080p panel with 4K decoding and preinstalled streaming apps.

A tidy all-in-one projector for movie nights in dark rooms and outdoors after sunset. Light output is low, so daytime viewing and lit rooms will wash the picture out.

A light, compact full HD projector for bedroom and backyard movies from a phone, laptop or streaming stick. Popular streaming apps need an external device, and it is not meant for business slides.

A small smart projector with licensed streaming apps and full auto setup, for bedrooms and backyard nights. Low brightness means it needs a dark room.

A tiny, light projector for dark bedrooms with built-in apps and a motion remote. Native resolution and brightness are low, so the maker itself recommends night use.

A capable budget smart projector for bedrooms and backyard movies, with automatic setup and fast wireless. It shows full HD, not true Ultra HD, and brightness suits dark rooms.

A rotating smart mini projector with real brightness for bedrooms and small rooms, including ceiling viewing. Its short throw range limits large images in big spaces.

A smart full HD projector with streaming apps and auto setup that works without a stick. Brightness is not listed anywhere, so its daylight use is unknown.

A bright, low-lag ultra HD projector for gaming and movies with keystone tools to square the image. It needs room depth, and screen size claims conflict.


A bright, dependable classroom and meeting room projector with long lamp life and simple setup. Its native resolution is low for detailed or widescreen content.

HAPPRUN H1 Native 1080P Bluetooth ProjectorModel H1These 10 video projectors have the highest ProductDome scores among the established products in this category, meaning ones with a large volume of owner ratings and strong evidence; on a tie, the product with more rating evidence ranks first. The score combines owner satisfaction, rating volume, demand and data quality from public Amazon listings (updated 3 days ago). We do not test products ourselves.
Xgimi, Aurzen, Magcubic, ViewSonic, Epson lead this category among the 49 brands that passed our curation checks.
A listing appears only when it has a recorded price, a minimum customer rating, and enough ratings or monthly sales. Generic and unbranded listings are left out, while every real brand stays, including brands sold only on Amazon. The ones that pass are ordered by the ProductDome score, which weighs owner satisfaction, rating volume, demand and data quality.
Standard throw, short throw and ultra short throw projectors need different distances between the lens and screen to produce the same picture size, so placement can range from across the room to close to the wall. Start with your intended picture width and the available distance from the lens to the viewing surface, since these measurements determine which designs fit.
Use the manual’s throw chart or calculator to find the distance needed for your chosen picture width. Among the 42 products that list minimum throw distance, most fall between 1.5 and 5.4 feet, and 3.5 feet is typical. The minimum distance is a placement limit, not the distance required for every picture size; read the minimum and maximum image size filters alongside the throw chart. Optical zoom, where provided, allows some adjustment of placement while preserving picture size. If the lens cannot sit directly opposite the intended picture position, look for lens shift and verify its adjustment directions and limits. Digital keystone correction can reshape an angled picture, but it can reduce usable detail, so assess whether your planned position depends on it.
Judge brightness against the room lighting during viewing and your intended picture size. Enlarging the picture spreads the available light over more area, while daylight and room lights reduce visible contrast. Compare advertised brightness figures measured by the same method and identify the picture mode used for each claim, since quieter or more color accurate settings may reduce output. For gaming, look for input lag information at the signal format you will send, including whether game mode permits the picture adjustments you need. If you plan to use external speakers for dialogue, confirm that the projector has an audio output compatible with them.
Before buying, confirm that the projector accepts your source device’s output and supports your intended streaming services; a connection or built-in app platform may not support every service. If you need a separate streaming device, establish whether it is supplied or sold separately. A screen must suit the projector’s projection geometry, particularly with ultra short throw designs, so verify screen compatibility and whether it is included. For permanent installation, consult the manual for permitted orientation, ventilation clearances and bracket requirements, including whether the bracket is supplied or sold separately. For upkeep, establish whether the light source is replaceable and whether any air filter needs cleaning or replacement, with enough access to perform that work after installation.
