Watching media on a laptop is fine, but it can get a little old viewing things on that tiny screen. And if you are conveniently streaming from your phone, this problem becomes even more exhausting on the eyes. Then there is the issue of watching movies with friends and having a screen everyone has to awkwardly huddle around. If you do not have a flat screen, this is not a problem anymore. Projectors are a great way to get the joy of watching things on the big screen without the space and pricing issues of a television. If you have a large blank wall for projecting, this is even more cost effective. If you don’t, invest in a portable screen. You can get these for as little as $45 or as much as $150 for high-quality, free-standing screens.

When purchasing a projector you will want to keep a few things in mind, particularly noise and adaptability.

The vent noise is key. The whirring of these vents can be distracting, so be careful to read the reviews to avoid this phenomenon. Also, be sure to purchase any necessary adapters. A couple of good options are available right now, including Elephas Ele-LED Mini Projector. This is a compact projector that is easy to use and has a reputation for being relatively quiet. This Konomio projector provides similar features with a different look. These are not top quality, so they won’t last for years, but for a short-term solution, they are ideal.
