Try blackout drapes or blinds even if the light outside is low - or use a room that already has those or is naturally not a bright space. Thankfully with more and more tech being put into projection devices, high-contrast grays have been introduced which do improve the black color levels of images from projectors.īasically take steps to make the room as dark or at least as dim as you can if you want to get the best experience. If light gets into the room while the projector is operating, it turns black coloring in images to gray therefore washing out the image. If you're looking to get a mini projector the chances are that you aren't going to want to dedicate and paint a room in morose colors just so you can watch movies, TV, or play games! Movie theaters are dark with only dim safety lighting for a reason. The brightness of your new projector is important. Below are some details on features to watch out for too. Here we have our 2020 review of portable projectors in the 'mini' or 'ultra mini' categories that fall below $210. They aren't exclusive or only for the rich anymore.

Most mini projectors used to be known for their poor picture quality and low resolution, and even the bigger office projectors had a bad name. Remember having to write or type (or, if you were lucky, print) your stuff on a piece of perspex, then having to project your work through light from an ugly metal machine onto a more-than-inconvenient and ugly framed screen? Back then, if you're as old as some of us here at Unclutterer, the best projector was the one in the theater that, wait for it, projected not just an image at a time but lots (that was called a video movie!). Projectors are fab things to have in the home and if you adore watching movies with the kids or spending a bit of me-time in front of your favorite comedy TV channel, portable projectors are great little things to have on hand - they're little novelty items that can give you the experience of a movie theater or gaming lounge, without the big price tag.

I'm sure you love electronics and finding the one that nobody else has yet is always a good thing.
