Amazon shoppers ‘beyond impressed' as ‘crystal-clear' portable projector gets slashed from £130 to £45
KEEN to bring the big-screen experience home this summer? Head to Amazon.
The online retailer has knocked down the price of a budget-friendly, portable projector by 65% – and it's got shoppers raving.
Do enough digging through Amazon's deals pages, and you'll find sky-high savings on all sorts of tech, from portable power banks to over-ear headphones.
This portable home projector is from a brand we in the Shopping team haven't come across before, and haven't tested ourselves.
But it's racked up over 250 five-star reviews on Amazon, with buyers buzzing about its auto-focus and keystone adjustment features, as well as its cracking picture quality.
This isn't some top-of-the-range projector that'll blow your socks off with all the bells and whistles - you'll have to spend much more on premium devices that offer 4K picture quality.
But if you're after something to watch the odd film, catch the football, or a spot of gaming, it's a solid choice that leaves minimal impact on your wallet.
The iWIMIUS Portable Projector is packed with a range of features that are pretty eye-catching, for a device that now costs less than £50.
Its auto-focus and keystone correction are clever bits of tech that sort the image out for you, so you don't need to faff about adjusting it manually.
It even has smart features to line the picture up perfectly with your screen and dodge obstacles like plug sockets or furniture that might get in the way.
The sound's no slouch either - it's got built-in 20W speakers with Dolby Digital support, delivering audio that one customer has described as "clear, balanced, and surprisingly deep.'
You can also use its two-way Bluetooth to turn the projector into a standalone speaker or hook it up to soundbars and other devices using HDMI ARC for that proper cinema surround sound.
As for the picture, it looks pretty impressive for the price.
It gives you Full HD 1080p resolution and can handle 4K content too, with an 800 ANSI brightness that keeps colours vivid and details sharp.
Setting it up at home should be a doddle too. The adjustable base lets you tilt it up to 15°, so you can stick it on a coffee table or shelf and still get the right angle.
Plus, it's small and smart-looking, so it won't stick out like a sore thumb in your living room or bedroom.
It doesn't come with apps like Netflix or Disney+, but you can plug in a TV Stick or similar device to stream your favourite shows and films.
Shoppers are loving it, with an overwhelming majority of reviews rating it at five stars.
'An excellent projector for those on a budget!" wrote one customer.
"I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this little beauty but I am beyond impressed!'
Another said, 'The picture is a lot better than I expected, really sharp and great vibrant colour.
"Same for the sound – surprisingly full and loud, again with options to select different sound presets or adjust manually.'
A third wrote: 'This projector delivers an amazing home theatre experience with sharp visuals, vibrant colours, and excellent performance. Crystal-clear picture quality.'
Amazon's calling this a limited-time deal, so it's unlikely to stay this cheap for long.
