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.
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.
RTINGS' top-tested portable projector, the CineBeam Q packs 4K pixel-shift RGB laser into an ultra-compact 3.3 lb body, a genuinely impressive feat. It's the pick for buyers who refuse to compromise on image quality.
Soda-can sized and genuinely pocket-friendly, the Capsule Max is the go-to recommendation on Reddit for students and frequent movers. It sacrifices brightness for unmatched portability.
PCMag's pick for casual movie and video viewing, the Halo+ delivers 1080p with Android TV and a built-in battery in a package that punches above its weight on brightness and audio. A strong all-rounder for living room to backyard use.
Consistently called out as underrated on Reddit and praised by CNET, the PlayCube offers flexible viewing angles, a large internal battery, and decent image quality in a compact form. A sleeper hit worth considering.
