See that big wall over there? Wouldn’t it be cool if you could watch, say, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on it? Or March Madness basketball? That’s the fun of owning a projector; you can turn just about any wall into a theater-size screen (well, home theater-size, anyway). And getting started is way cheaper than you might think.
For example, for a limited time, and while supplies last, the WeWatch V53 1080p projector drops to just $73 when you clip the on-page $47-off coupon and then apply promo code MCWIDGEN at checkout. Regular price: $150.
(Pro tip: If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day Amazon Prime trial here.)
A native-1080p projector at this price is pretty amazing, but there are few things you should know. First, because it produces just 250 ANSI lumens, it won’t be bright enough for daytime/ambient-light use; you’ll need a pretty dark room.
Second, although it has built-in Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity to things like phones and laptops, it lacks onboard apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). Thus, you’ll likely want to connect some sort of streaming device, such as a Fire TV, Roku or game console. (One option: The excellent Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale for $45 right now.)
Finally, the V53 offers 45-degree keystone correction, which is great, but it’s vertical only — you’ll have to position the projector dead-center in front of your wall, which might prove challenging depending on your room setup.
For a little more versatility, consider the virtually identical V52 model, which offers both vertical and horizontal keystone adjustment. The checkout promo code (MCWIDGEN) is the same, and the coupon gets you $45 off — so it’s practically the same price out the door.
So how do these compare to projectors costing hundreds more? There’s the aforementioned brightness consideration, which is a big one, and resolution as well: 1080p is good, but 4K (available only by spending a lot more) is better.
Indeed, I’m not sure I’d recommend this for a full-time home theater. Instead, it would make a great option for kids, who are much more forgiving when it comes to things like brightness and image quality. Set this up for a bedroom or basement movie night, or connect it to the game console for super-big entertainment. And if you remember the TikTok Fake Window Challenge, this could be great for that as well.
