If you live or work in a smaller space like a dorm room, studio apartment, or home office, you may be considering a portable projector for entertainment and work presentations. That’s because regardless of how compact your space, projectors support really big screen displays. But not all portable projectors are made equal and several key aspects should guide your choice.
Certain constraints do come into play when using projectors in confined spaces. If you get the wrong one, you’ll compromise viewing experiences. For example, choosing a full-size long throw projector with 4K and HDR may sound appealing if you have the budget. But that projector simply won’t work in a small studio apartment because it needs big living room distances to function. By the same token, a compact portable projector that weighs less than your laptop has a lot of appeal. But without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth it’ll be nearly useless and not much help for streaming content, entertainment or otherwise.
Don’t despair. The right portable projector for you is out there, and you want it because you’ve come to the conclusion that a big screen TV or large monitor may not be the best solution for your needs.
Let’s quickly review a laundry list of essentials to look for in portable projectors that will help you make the most of a small space.
