About the Portable projector

A portable home projector for watching a film on the terrace or in the living room. Connect a laptop with the HDMI cable, or plug a streaming stick into the Chromecast port. The included tripod stand lets you set it up without a table.

It is best after dark. Portable projectors are much dimmer than a TV, so any light around them washes out the picture. The darker the space, the larger and clearer the image.

You need a plain, light-coloured wall or a screen. Textured or coloured walls reduce picture quality. It suits families and groups who want an evening film night at the stay.

Highlights

  • HDMI input for a laptop
  • Chromecast port for a streaming stick
  • HDMI cable and tripod stand included
  • Best after dark, projected on a plain wall or screen

Tips for using it in Goa

  • Wait until it is fully dark. Even dusk light makes the picture look faded.
  • Turn off nearby lights, including terrace and pool lights facing the wall.
  • Use the smoothest, lightest wall you can find, or hang a plain white sheet pulled tight.
  • Download films in advance if the Wi-Fi at the stay is slow, and play them from a laptop over HDMI.
  • Bring the projector inside if it starts to rain, and keep it away from pool splashes and sea spray.

Common questions

Can I use it during the day?

Not really. Portable projectors need darkness for a watchable picture. Daylight or bright rooms wash the image out.

How do I connect my laptop?

Use the included HDMI cable. Some laptops need a USB-C to HDMI adapter, so check your laptop's ports before you arrive.

Do I need a screen?

A plain, light-coloured wall works. A smooth white surface gives the clearest picture.

Can I stream Netflix or YouTube?

Yes, through a laptop over HDMI, or a streaming stick in the Chromecast port. Either way it needs a working internet connection at the stay.
