Having your own home theater is nice. But what’s even nicer is having a home theater that you can move from room to room or even set up outdoors. Or maybe you need to give a big presentation at work and your laptop display just isn’t enough. The Aubor Mentech Mini Projector gives you the capability of projecting video on screens or walls, up to the equivalent of a 150-inch screen. And with a current $40-off coupon on Amazon, it’s an even better deal than usual!

The Aubor Mentech puts the “smart” in “smart projector,” offering the ability to stream video from other devices as well as straight from the projector. Let’s take a look at what this mini projector has to offer, and why its features make it a worthy buy.

First, and most importantly, the Aubor Mentech provides a great picture with its 1080p resolution (with automatic conversion from 4k video sources), 300 ANSI lumen brightness — making it ideal for rooms with moderate-to-low lighting — and a 10,000-to-1 contrast ratio. We recommend you set the projector up about 5 feet from where you want to project video, although it can handle distances between 3 feet (which gets you an image equivalent to a 30-inch TV) to 12.3 feet (which gives you the 150-inch screen).

The projector’s 180-degree rotatable design means you can project video onto any surface, whether it’s a wall or a ceiling, and its keystone feature adjusts the image to give you the right “rectangular” presentation even if you’re projecting at an angle.

The Aubor Mentech mini projector supports screen mirroring through Apps like Airplay so you can share your screen, and with built-in 5G WiFi, you’ll get low latency and smoother streaming. You can also use the projector’s HDMI and USB ports to connect to computers, laptops, game consoles or other video sources. You can even dispense with other devices altogether, as you can access major streaming apps like Netflix and Prime Video straight from the projector, thanks to its on-board Android 11.0 operating system.

While the projector comes with its own speaker, you can rev up your sound by outputting to other speakers, headphones or soundbars via a Bluetooth connection. That’s plenty of functionality for a projector that weighs under three pounds and is small enough to be set up on a coffee table or stool.

Add it all up and you have a solid projector that can be used in a variety of situations for a good price — and that’s before the current $40 coupon. Amazon users agree, calling it an excellent choice for a “compact and budget friendly projector.” So, if you’re short on space for a TV or just want to take your entertainment everywhere, the Aubor Mentech mini projector is the perfect portable device to take wherever you need.
