Overview
Bedside movie fans and campers get a laser projector on a two-stage tilting base that aims at the ceiling or rotates all the way around. Auto focus, keystone and rotation correction square the image wherever it points.
The laser source and wide color coverage give accurate, vivid color from a small body, and the woofer adds real bass. The image tops out at a mid size, and the listing does not mention a battery.
Who it's for
Bedroom viewers, travelers and campers get ceiling projection and good sound without extra speakers. Those wanting cinema-size images should choose a longer-throw model.
Pros and cons
- Laser light source
- Wide color coverage
- Tilting base aims at the ceiling
- Built-in woofer for bass
- Image size tops out at a mid size
- Battery operation not stated
- Heavier than pocket projectors
- Contrast claim hard to compare
Performance notes
Color accuracy comes from the laser light source, which holds steady brightness over its life. The tilting base changes aim without moving the body, and auto rotation correction squares the image after each adjustment.
