    Default Looking for a decent portable projector...

    Has anyone recently purchased a portable projector to show movies on walls or sheets or portable screens? We have one that isn't portable and is very heavy and has a $200 bulb. Looking for something less expensive and cumbersome for taking with us.

    We bought this one from Amazon warehouse for $150 summer of 2020. It has been great for outdoor movies (and is bright enough to start long before it gets dark). Unfortunately it looks like it is discontinued, so not sure how helpful this is

    I saw this on a blogger gift guide last week and flagged it as a potential gift for DS1. It gets great reviews, as do several other ones by this brand. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07WRKSZ...6JV4WDE9H8FF0W

    We've been using this in the backyard since the beginning of the pandemic - it's been great. https://www.amazon.com/Projector-Ank...dp/B076Q3GBJK/

    We have a Viewsonic as well that's 7 years old and works great. That Amazon Warehouse price was a great deal (I paid $350 for ours). We do movie nights in our jacuzzi and project right on to our white fence. Make sure you get one that's bright enough. Ours is 3000 lumens.

    Thanks for the info. What is the Warehouse price? I am not seeing it. I'm only seeing it offered as "renewed".

    I was responding to Mommy_Mea's comment above that she got a Viewsonic projector for $150 on Amazon Warehouse back in 2020.

    I think they discontinued the one that I bought. And looking at the prices on the other ones I think I got a crazy good deal
