Best Overall

Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air

Wirecutter's top pick and CNET's favorite, the Mars 3 Air nails the sweet spot of compact size, fair price, and better-than-expected performance. DLP imaging keeps motion sharp, and it runs Android TV natively.

$350-$450
Pros
  • DLP imaging delivers sharp detail even with fast motion
  • Compact size with built-in battery for true portability
  • Android TV built-in for easy streaming without extra devices
  • Consistently recommended by both Wirecutter and CNET as top pick
Cons
  • Like all portable projectors, brightness is limited compared to larger units
  • Audio volume won't satisfy those wanting room-filling sound
  • 1080p resolution, not 4K
Why we recommend it

If you want one portable projector that does everything well without breaking the bank, this is it — both expert reviewers and real users keep landing on the Mars 3 Air as the default recommendation.

CNET

I like the Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air as the best portable projector overall because it combines a small size, decent price and performance that's better than you might expect.
